In this episode we speak to Associate Professor Jeff Colgan about the existential politics of climate change, as well as the challenges related to the revaluation of climate-forcing and climate-vulnerable assets. The interview draws on the recent article ‘Asset Revaluation and the Existential Politics of Climate Change’, which Jeff Colgan co-authored with Jessica Green and Thomas Hale.
In this episode we speak to Professor Dan Esty about the economic aspects of climate change, as well as the sustainability imperative and what it means for climate change. Professor Esty is a leading expert on climate change law and policy, based at Yale University.
Amid overlapping global crises, many individuals experience psychological distress, anxiety, hopelessness, and a diminished sense of agency. Scholars increasingly argue that this erosion of perceived significance may be as consequential as climate change, biodiversity loss, polarization, and political turmoil, as it stems from a growing disconnection or alienation from self, others, and nature at
Äldreomsorgen har betydande utmaningar kopplade till demografiska förändringar, ökade vårdbehov och svårigheter att rekrytera och behålla personal. Trots detta vet vi relativt lite om hur arbetsmotivationen ser ut och hur olika motivationsmönster hänger samman med viljan att stanna kvar i yrket.Med utgångspunkt i Självbestämmandeteorin syftade studien till att identifiera och karaktärisera olika m
Bioenergy is perceived to play a vital role in climate mitigation, transition to renewable energy consumption, energy security, and local and rural socio-economic development. However, exploiting renewable bioenergy resources may need to be more sustainable in the current predominant paradigm. In this study, we raise two broad research questions: (1) what are the significant challenges to the curr
Denna studie undersöker hur Vattenhallen Science Center kan bidra till rekrytering till Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH) genom att väcka och utveckla ett långsiktigt intresse för STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Studien utgår från ett ASPIRES-inspirerat teoretiskt ramverk där begreppen STEM-identitet och vetenskapligt kapital samt unga människors aspirationer används för att a
There is a belief that the pace of society is accelerating due to digital technologies, but there is also concern that these technologies will replace care staff and negatively impact the quality of care for older people. In 2023, a Swedish municipality began offering video visits to homecare users, yet little is known about the implications of this digital technology on the perception of time. Th
Over the past decade, the field of Inner Transformation for Sustainability has grown into a substantial and influential body of knowledge, providing much of the scientific foundation for the Inner Development Goals (IDGs). In this conversation, Professor Christine Wamsler and Tomas Björkman reflect on the current state of the field. They emphasize that any meaningful application of the IDG Guide r
Road verges can provide resources for pollinating insects, but it remains unclear if these resources are accessible to all species, or if some ecological traits can prevent certain species from using road verge habitats. We sampled wild bees and butterflies in 37 road verges in southern Sweden, with contrasting mowing regimes and along a gradient of traffic intensity. We compiled data on the pools
Drawing on social stratification and relative resource theory, and gender ideology theory, this article investigates how class and gender shape outsourcing domestic work patterns within the Swedish welfare state, a forerunner in terms of gender equality. Using full-population longitudinal administrative registers from 2007 to 2022, we include individual-level information on domestic outsourcing fo
Objectives To investigate how patients undergoing allo-HCT experience preparedness for self-care and the transition to post-hospital recovery, after using the Assessment of Rehabilitation Needs Checklist (ARNC) in combination with a conversation in a nurse-led intervention. Methods Patients were recruited between March and September 2023, at two allo-HCT centres in Sweden. A convergent parallel mi
Background: Previous studies on contact allergy to diabetes medical devices (MDs) are based on patients referred for patch testing due to suspected allergic contact dermatitis. Objectives: To present real-world data on contact allergy to MD allergens among diabetes MD users. To suggest a MD patch test series. Methods: Adults with type 1 diabetes using diabetes MDs followed up at two endocrinology
Purpose: To study the incidence and subtype of breast cancer in relation to incident and prevalent statin use in a contemporary Swedish prospective cohort, The Karolinska Mammography Project for Risk Prediction of Breast Cancer, KARMA. Methods: A total of 35,315 postmenopausal women attending mammography and included in the KARMA cohort (Jan 2011–March 2013) with data on statin use and potential c
