Hydrotropic extraction (HEX) is a method for the delignification of lignocellulose that has been given increasing amounts of attention during the last couple of years. A hydrotrope is an amphiphilic substance, which, in high enough concentrations, can improve solubility of otherwise poorly soluble substances in water. The most commonly used substance for HEX-delignification is sodium xylenesulfona

In children’s literature nonhuman primates are often represented either as ferocious beasts or as curios and charmful vicarious children. In this article I demonstrate how these different constructions interestingly coexist in the popular story ‘‘The monkey that would not kill’’, written by the Scottish evangelist and professor of the natural sciences Henry Drummond in 1891. My study anchors the f

Critical discourse analysis of climate and energy policy unveils Sweden’s ambition to ‘lead-by-example’, by virtue of a win-win combination of economy and environment via stringent regulations and an early-mover strategy on eco-innovations. The extent of the unilateral approach is constrained by concerns for the competiti

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en avsevärd del av Sveriges klimatpåverkan och resursanvändning, där stålproduktionen är en betydande faktor. Trots att stål är ett material med hög återvinningsgrad är direktåterbruket av bärande stålkomponenter i dagsläget begränsat. Detta utgör en outnyttjad potential för att minska koldioxidutsläpp och främja en cirkulär ekonomi, där Design för Demontering The construction and real estate sector accounts for a considerable share of Sweden's climate impact and resource use, with steel production being a significant factor. Although steel is a material with a high recycling rate, the direct reuse of load-bearing steel components is currently limited. This represents an untapped potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting a circul

The chapter studies the relationship between inequality and institutional change in the long-run. The key message is that societies change slowly and unpredictably because of path dependency of economic, political, and social institutions. Prevalent inequalities between different groups rooted in history may help to explain why change does not take place. This has implications for the results that
