When low calorific value gases are fired, the performance and stability of gas turbines may deteriorate due to a large amount of inertballast and changes in working fluid properties. Since it is rather rare to have custom-built gas turbines for low lower heating value (LHV) operation, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. This, in turn, poses limitations to usable fuel

There is no alternative! Margaret Thatcher once proclaimed in order to defend neoliberalist reforms and – implicitly – the capitalist regime. But if one doesn’t agree with Thatcher’s definition of the situation and her (and her many followers’) subsequent analysis, what viable options does one really have? Is it possible to come up with an empirically grounded alternative to the dominant modes of

Justice is an underlying principle and an important lens in understanding sustainable development goals (SDG). There is a need for analysis and clarification on the underlying principles of justice embedded in the SDGs. Goals such as no poverty (goal 1), zero hunger (goal 2), health and well-being (goal 3), gender equality (goal 5), affordable energy (goal 7), reduced inequalities (goal 10) as wel

The capabilities of ultrasound optical tomography (UOT) is investigated through Monte Carlo simulations on realistic breast tissue phantoms constructed using the OpenVCT platform. This work indicates that UOT is a method capable of distinguishing malignant tumor tissue from benign glandular tissue deep inside the breast, despite the natural variations of adipose and glandular compartments within a

The chapter examines what peace looks like from the working levels of the Nordic countries. Several researchers have proclaimed a common Nordic approach to peace and conflict resolution “dead”. However, through interviews focusing on the working level, we find that the Nordics in fact work very closely together in practice, especially in the field in conflict-affected areas. This work is generally

Under senare år har en växande oro över att allt yngre barn misstänks för grov brottslighet drivit fram en kriminalpolitisk agenda och lagstiftningsreformer som successivt minskar skillnaderna mellan barn och vuxna i det svenska straffsystemet. År 2023 reformerades bevistaleinstitutet, genom vilket en domstol kan pröva om ett barn under 15 år har begått en brottslig gärning utan att någon påföljd In recent years, growing concern over increasingly younger children being suspected of serious offences has driven a criminal policy agenda and legislative reforms that gradually reduce the differences between children and adults within the Swedish criminal justice system. In 2023, the evidentiary proceedings, through which a court may determine whether a child under the age of 15 has committed a

More than six decades ago, Aníbal Pinto Santa Cruz (1959) published his pivotal work, Chile, a case of frustrated development. Almost 65 years later, this concept has been reborn under the massive protests and social unrest of 2019, the COVID pandemic, and the new lithium cycle. Chile, the former “Latin American Miracle,” has become an unstable and troublesome state, not particularly different fro
