This article examines the underexplored issue of public social protection in the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector. Social protection is defined as public actions taken in response to levels of vulnerability, risk, and deprivation considered socially unacceptable within a given society and polity. Drawing on a study of ASM in Rwanda, the article identifies a range of state-led policies

Hydrogen is a promising candidate to be the main renewable energy source in the future, but there has been limited development of hydrogen storage methods. PtxPd100−x (25 ≤ x ≤ 75) nanostructures composed of a mixture of nanofoams and nanoparticles are synthesized with a Pt-rich core and a Pd-rich shell atomic structure. We observed that the higher the amount of Pd, the higher the hydrogen uptake.

Bimetallic nanoparticles are promising catalysts that can improve performance in heterogeneous catalysis and solid-state electrochemistry. Exsolution is a useful method for forming such nanoparticles; however, it is limited by the elements present within the host oxide lattice. In this work, we develop and demonstrate a strategy to form bimetallic particles from La 0.5Sr 0.5Ti 0.94Ni 0.06O 3

Denna rapport bygger på fem års samarbete med lokalprojekt och campusutveckling vid Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Lunds universitet. Medutgångspunkt i konkreta projekt, gemensamma reflektioner och relevantforskning belyser författarna hur organisatoriska, kulturella och strukturellaförutsättningar påverkar arbetet med lokaler i universitetsmiljöer.

Background: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is one of the major long-term complications in patients after heart transplantation (HTx) limiting allograft function and longevity. CAV can be studied non-invasively by evaluating myocardial perfusion (MP). Aspirin is re--ed after Htx, but it is unclear whether it affects the development of CAV. The aim of this study was to investigate the associat

This chapter analyzes and interprets the current international legal discussions and regulations concerning traditional knowledge in the Agreement Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction. The analysis focuses on how the agreement addresses traditional knowledge and those p

we present rearing records of Eulophidae resulting from five years of collecting leafminers and other herbivorous insects throughout the United States. These include the first documented hosts for Chrysocharis beckeri Yoshimoto, C. minuta (hansson), Closterocerus damastes walker (identification tentative), Diaulinopsis albiscapus (girault), Elasmus borrowi girault, Neochrysocharis cyaneoviridis ha

The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, launched in 2021, aims to achieve seven societal outcomes, including equitable access to marine scientific data, knowledge, and technology. An accessible ocean can help to eradicate inequalities between the Global North and South, empowering countries with the necessary knowledge and means to make national and regional science

This article examines the State practice of thirty-one small island developing States (SIDS) in implementing the consent regime for marine scientific research (MSR) under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) from 2005 to 2020. By analysing domestic legislation and questionnaire responses from government officials, research vessel operators, and research institutes, the s

This article examines the practice of the Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) regarding the consent regime for marine scientific research (MSR), identifying trends in the interpretation and application of international law, and implementation gaps. The state practice analyzed is derived from domestic laws, regulations, and policy instruments, and from responses to questionnaires by sta

Ocean science is central in providing evidence for the implementation of the United Nations Law of the Sea Convention. The Convention’s provisions on transfer of marine technology to developing countries aim at strengthening scientific capabilities to promote equitable opportunities for these countries to exercise rights and obligations in managing the marine environment. Decades after the adoptio

Fitness for purpose of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) in the twenty-first century has been at the core of legal and political discussions. Such an inquiry is pertinent for small island developing States (SIDS), which have experienced first-hand the consequences of anthropogenic disturbances on the ocean. This study examines whether the provisions governing marine s

The completion of negotiations on capacity building and the transfer of marine technology (CBTMT) was a critical milestone that paved the way for the adoption of a historic new UN ocean treaty that was twenty years in the making. The CBTMT part is crucial to enable the effective and equitable implementation of this treaty for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in the two-thirds o

Recent policy shifts terminating programs and funding related to diversity, equity, and inclusion challenge the “leave no one behind” pledge at the core of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science. We urge the Ocean Decade to build capacity and resilience to safeguard its inclusivity commitments at forthcoming UN ocean events.

A full characterization of the boundedness of Laplace–Carleson embeddings on L∞ is provided, in terms of the Carleson intensity of the respective measure and of a suitable weighted Berezin transform of the measure. Moreover, boundedness results, and in some cases full characterizations of boundedness, are proved for a large class of Orlicz spaces. These findings are crucial for characterizing admi

The Tau Global Conference 2025, hosted by the Alzheimer's Association, CurePSP, and the Rainwater Charitable Foundation, convened international experts from academia, industry, government, and philanthropy to explore advances and challenges in tauopathy research. The meeting highlighted progress across tau biology, including emerging models of tau regulation, degradation, and propagation; advances

Marine multifunctionality, understood as the intentional combination of uses in the same marine space, is increasingly promoted in European policy, yet implementation remains uneven. This study asks which combinations of governance instruments have enabled the operationalisation of marine multifunctionality in Europe, and under what conditions. Using systematic review principles, we synthesise pee
