Naturens rättigheter : När lagen ger fred med jorden
No full textDagens lagstiftning skyddar inte miljön utan reglerar exploateringen av den. Naturen ses som en resurs på människans villkor. Det här gör att den biologiska mångfalden hotas, klimatet påverkas och livsförutsättningar för alla levande varelser förändras. Naturens rättigheter ändrar på det när ekosystemen blir juridiska subjekt. Då kan bland annat livsmiljöförstörelse, så kallad ekocid, bli ett brott. För många i västvärlden innebär idén ett nytänkande som möjliggör en fredlig relation mellan människa och natur. Historien visar att sådana nya lagar kan bereda väg för verkliga kultur- och systemskiften. Här presenteras idén av ekopedagogerna Ingrid och Nikolas Berg samt forskaren Martin Hultman. De beskriver hur den vuxit fram och idag sprids över världen när floder, skogar och berg får rättigheter i en förvånande hastighet. Boken visar hur naturens rättigheter i lagstiftning kan vara verktyg för samhällstransformation och en hållbar framtid liksom hur vi alla kan delta med hjälp av ekopedagogiken där vi tar steget från åskådare till medskapare

Overall synthesis and conclusions
No full textThis chapter first systematically summarizes the most important findings and policy implications of each of the chapters included in this book volume. Next it synthesizes the overall findings and policy implications, and discusses future avenues for policy making and research. A first conclusion is that the chapters make clear that the ranges in policy relevant implications of AVs, within the scope of each chapter/topic, are still relatively broad. Secondly we conclude that research that is conceptually rich is more valuable for policy making. Thirdly we hypothesize that context matters for the uptake, impacts, and specific system design characteristics of real world AV implementation. Fourth we conclude that research on the global south has been limited so far. Fifth we argue that AVs, shared vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs) might stimulate each other in a positive way, in all directions. Finally we conclude that AVs will have wider societal implications, such as in the area of land use, accessibility, social exclusion, governmental expenditures, the labor market, and the environment. The more indirect the effects of AVs are, the more difficult they are to understand. For policy making a first conclusion is that the issues of ethics, cyber security and data protection deserve way more attention than they currently get. We also conclude that future motorway network extensions might not be no-regret anymore, because of possible congestion reductions due to AVs, but also because of decreasing marginal values of time. Finally we argue that countries that introduce AVs later than other countries can learn a lot from the real world experiences elsewhere.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Transport and Logistic
Post hos nostra terra est: mapping the Late Roman ecumene with the Expositio totius mundi et gentium
No full textThis paper studies the landscape of the Late Roman ecumene as depicted by the Expositio totius mundi et gentium (Expos. mundi),1 written by an anonymous author in the middle of the 4th century CE. It will first contextualise the text and assess its structure, language and genre. The contribution will then focus on the distinction between Rome, the Sasanids and utopic societies in the east near Eden, the political and military organization of the Imperium Romanum as well as its economic framework and varying expressions of its culture. As
this paper will show, the anonymous author does not present detailed descriptions of Rome’s geographical landscape. Instead, the primary focus is on material resources of the Roman Empire, their potential for economic exploitation and the trading opportunities resulting from it. Rome’s cultivated landscapes are thereby regarded as important preconditions for its success on an economic, political and cultural level
Walking as Do-It-Yourself Urbansim
No full textThis article develops a series of theoretical notions arising in the context of an urban art project that took place in London in the summer of 2004 under the title “Where do you breathe?”1 As a participatory urban intervention, the project challenged the notion of authorship in public space by casting the act of walking as a transformation of urban space, and examined the potentials for a practice of photography based on interaction rather than passive representation

Da li postoji kolektivno sećanje zločinaca? Sećanje na Holokaust u Nemačkoj od 1945. do danas
No full textU maju 2003. Nikolas Berg je objavio studiju “Der Holocaust und die Westdeutschen Historiker“. U svojoj studiji Berg istražuje razloge zbog kojih je Holokaust toliko dugo bio marginalizovan u zapadnonemačkoj istoriografiji. Berg tvrdi da je mnogo istoričara Zapadne Nemačke koji su se predano bavili istorijom nacionalsocijalizma, zapostavljalo njegov centralni deo, Holokaust, jer nisu bili voljni da prihvate krivicu brojnih Nemaca, uključujući sebe, svoje očeve, braću, učitelje. Bergova knjiga je zato shvaćena kao uvreda za moralni integritet zapadnonemačkih istoričara koji su posvetili svoje studije Zeitgeschiteu (savremenoj istoriji) i sve do sada su smatrani moralnim autoritetom, jer su se profesionalno bavili Vergangenheitsbe-waltigungom (razumevanjem prošlosti), koji je postao osnovni faktor nemačkog identiteta

No full textPolicy implications of the potential carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emission and energy impacts of highly automated vehicles
No full textThis chapter explores the extent to which the adoption of highly automated vehicles (AVs) will lead to carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction in the future. Additionally, policy implications are given. Based on existing literature, this chapter shows that the adoption of AVs will result in a modest improvement of CO2 emission per kilometer traveled compared to non-autonomous vehicles in the future. Combined with the expectations that AVs will lead to a modest to, even, high growth in vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) compared to business as usual, the net energy and CO2 emission balance for AVs seems, at its best, to be neutral, but is probably negative. The potential accelerating role of AVs in relation to the uptake of electric vehicles might have the largest positive impacts on the CO2 emissions per kilometer driven, but this accelerating role of AV technology in relation to the uptake of electric vehicles is uncertain. For the time being the most useful policy implication to curb road transport CO2 emissions seems to be to continue with policies that promote the use of alternatives for fossil fuels, such as electricity.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Transport and Logistic
Creativity in co-Design for Physical Education: Comparing Contributions of Children and Professionals
No full textThis study is carried out within the context of a research and innovationproject Co-design with Kids that aims to support teaching of broad so-called ‘21stcentury’ skills. In this project, design toolboxes for use within primary educationare developed and studied, with real life clients and assignments. In the casedescribed in this paper, the assignment was to create new concepts for physicaleducation (PE). To be able to assess the value of design outcomes created in aco-design trajectory by children, we compared their design outcomes to thosecreated in a similar design process by professionals. Six teams of children (n=21,11-12 years old) and three teams of professionals (n=10, with a background indesign, sports or physical education) developed concepts in separate co-creationsessions. We present a first assessment of the differences and similarities increativity of the design outcomes of the two groups. This assessment of textualsummaries shows no remarkable differences between design outcomes ofchildren and those of professionals in terms of elaboration, originality andrelevance. This indicates that children could be involved as design partners.Further research is needed to gain insight into the specific value of involvingchildren as design partners.Accepted author manuscriptDesign Conceptualization and CommunicationScience Education and Communicatio
