How Does Legal Culture Matter for Climate Mobilities? A Case Study in an Unplanned Coastal Settlement in Urban Mozambique

This article responds to the general neglect of legal culture in the study of climate mobilities. It presents a case study of climate mobilities in an unplanned settlement in Maputo, Mozambique, exploring how legal culture influenced residents’ decision-making processes as they navigated climate-related risks in their daily lives. We demonstrate that legal culture can facilitate climate mobilities

The Swedish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, 1961–1967 : Political Time Orientation and Worldview

The Swedish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (SCND) fought the military’s plans to acquire Swedish nuclear weapons and protested the nuclear arms race, 1961–1967. This article presents SCND’s ideological orientation by focusing on temporalities. SCND saw the Second World War as a decisive event and tried to avert a crisis and a dystopia by manifesting remembrance of past nuclear detonations, and b

Larval growth rate is not a major determinant of adult wing shape and eyespot size in the seasonally polyphenic butterfly Melanitis leda

Background: Insects often show adaptive phenotypic plasticity where environmental cues during early stages are used to produce a phenotype that matches the environment experienced by adults. Many tropical satyrine butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) are seasonally polyphenic and produce distinct wet- and dry-season form adults, providing tight environment-phenotype matching in seasonal environmen

Prepared for the future? Social work students, ontological insecurity and the turning point in Swedish refugee policies

The year 2015 marked a rupture in the post-war development of refugee reception and integration policies in Sweden. This rupture involved both a radical change in refugee policy and practice, and a rupture in the long-held collective self-image of Sweden as a country with generous reception and integration policies (Scarpa & Schierup 2018). This article responds to the question of how social wThe year 2015 marked a rupture in the post-war development of refugee reception and integration policies in Sweden.

Diverse understandings and values of nature at the peace–environment nexus: a critical analysis and policy implications towards decolonial peace

Scholarship in peace and conflict studies is paying increasing attention to the role of the environment for conflict transformation and peacebuilding. However, a closer analysis on how different understandings of “nature” implicate policy proposals and approaches to peacebuilding is lacking. In this study, we provide a critical reflection on the diverse understandings and valuations of nature at t

Insights into the K–Pg extinction aftermath: The Danish Cerithium Limestone Member

The Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) mass extinction about 66 Ma ago was one of Earth’s largest mass extinction events. The demise of calcifiers, among others, influenced biogeochemical cycles and changed the conditions for carbonate depo sition in the global ocean. This study addresses the sedimentology and carbonate microfacies of the Cerithium Limestone Member of the Rødvig Formation within the ren

Drivers avoid attentional elaboration under safety-critical situations and complex environments : 17th European Workshop on Imagery and Cognition, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK, June 20-22, 2023

In everyday activities where continuous visual awareness is critical such as driving, several cognitive processes pertaining to visual attention are of the essence, for instance, change detection, anticipation, monitoring, etc. Research suggests that environmental load and task difficulty contribute to failures in visual perception that can be essential for detecting and reacting to safety-critica

Cognitive Modelling of Visuospatial Complexity in the Streetscape : 8th International Conference on Spatial Cognition: Cognition and Action in a Plurality of Spaces (ICSC 2021), (Virtual Conference), September 13-17, 2021

Background: Incorporating knowledge about human behaviour and the effect of the environment is a major goal for the design and engineering of human-centred autonomous vehicles. Systems that aim to establish a common interaction ground with humans require systematic modelling of empirically established behavioural norms customised to specific contexts. Aims: Focusing on aspects pertaining to visual

Meanings of Identity of the Post-2000s Inland Tibet Class : An Interview with Jinyan Zeng

What identity does the post-2000s Inland Tibet Class (ITC) generation mean? How do Sinophone-Tibetan films articulate the expression of such identity? How does affective visuality mediate the cultural, political, and gender identity formation of female artists of the post-2000s ITC generation?Jinyan Zeng, a researcher at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University, Sweden, in

Towards Equity and Universal Design in Pelvic Floor Care - Patient Experiences After Birth

This article presents preliminary findings from a design ethnographic study examining pelvic floor care practices from the perspective of patients with pelvic floor injuries caused by birth treated at the continence clinic in Sundsvall's Hospital, Sweden. The aim is to enhance our understanding of women's experiences of pelvic floor injury, provide insights into living with pelvic floor injury, an

Frequency shifting of light via multiple ultrasound waves in scattering media

We derive analytical expressions to describe how light is frequency-shifted when interacting with ultrasound within scattering media, due to the modulation of the refractive index induced by the ultrasound pressure waves. The model is validated through Monte Carlo simulations, works for high ultrasound pressures, and allows for many simultaneous ultrasound waves or frequency components, which is i
