    Sammanfattning : This thesis analyzes some aspects of the appropriation of labor time and natural space in the Inka Empire (ca. AD 1400 – 1532) in order to illuminate the cultural organization of Inka imperial metabolism. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Reclaiming Territory from Below : Grassroots Environmentalism and Waste Conflicts in Campania, Italy

    Författare :Salvatore Paolo De Rosa; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; grassroots movements; popular environmentalism; territory; waste management; environmental conflicts; Organized crime; southern Italy; political ecology; socioecological metabolism;

    Sammanfattning : In the course of 2000s, the region of Campania in southern Italy and its capital city Naples became global icons of waste mismanagement after the images of piles of rubbish occluding their urban areas hit the headlines. Conventional explanations, in Italy and elsewhere, pointed to administrative failure, cultural backwardness and mafia infiltration as the main causes of waste mishandling. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Fair Enough? : Ecologically Unequal Exchange, International Trade, and Environmental Justice

    Författare :Martin Oulu; Humanekologi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Capitalism; ecologically unequal exchange; environmental justice; ecomodernism; Global South; Global North; international trade; LCA; neoliberalism; political ecology; postcolonial; socio-metabolism; sustainability; science; world-system;

    Sammanfattning : The theory of ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) posits that contemporary international trade facilitates a net flow of resources from the peripheral global South to feed industrial processes and capital accumulation in the core North. This situation, it is argued, imperils the development of the South. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Control of nutrient fluxes in large river basins

    Författare :Andrzej Tonderski; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : Nitrogen and phosphorus transported with rivers from land to sea have been reported to be the major sources contributing to the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea. In this thesis, I describe how the sources and waterborne fluxes of nutrients in large river basins can be systematically assessed. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Anoxic degradation of organic matter in lakes : implications for carbon cycling and aquatic food webs

    Författare :David Bastviken; Joseph M Gasol; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ekonsystem i vatten; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : Considerable evidence from laboratory studies and marine environments suggests that degradation of organic matter (OM) is restricted under anoxic conditions compared to when molecular oxygen (O2) is present. However, other studies contradict this view since they found similar OM degradation rates and bacterial growth rates under both oxic and anoxic conditions in aquatic environments. LÄS MER
