Citizenship in the Arab World : Kin, Religion and Nation-State
No full textGianluca P. Parolin deed vijf jaar lang onderzoek naar burgerschap in het Midden-Oosten. In dit boek plaatst de auteur dit begrip in een breder juridisch perspectief naar de maatstaven van de complexe realiteit van nationaliteit en burgerschap. Wetten op het gebied van nationaliteit zijn vaak gebaseerd op staten en worden als volledig soeverein beschouwd. Maar deze wetten zijn alleen effectief als rekening gehouden wordt met de culturele en juridische achtergrond van de burgers waarop ze van toepassing zijn
Radical Spaces - By Christina Parolin
No full text“This study,” Christina Parolin writes in her concluding remarks, “has argued that … there is a dynamic, dialectical and symbiotic relationship between radical culture and the sites in which it operated” (p. 279). Taking the complex interactions between radicalism, space, and power in Georgian and early Victorian London as its focus, this ambitious study negotiates and consolidates, under the auspices of a spatial approach, the histories (and historiographies) of radicalism, identity, the public sphere, gender, performance, justice, protest, science, memory, publishing, theatre, and graphic satire. Such an approach should, and rightly has been, applauded, yet it is also the source of the monograph’s shortcomings. If indeed Radical Spaces is the spatial turn in action (more on which later), it demonstrates that more work is needed to integrate such analyses into the canon of social and cultural history...

No full textDesign and Optimization of a Multi-Mode Hydrogen Delivery Infrastructure for Clean Mobility
No full textThis work addresses the infrastructural needs arising from the widespread deployment of hydrogen for clean mobility, by developing a model to optimize the design and operation of a hydrogen distribution infrastructure. The developed tool combines the use of detailed spatial data through a Geographic Information System to define the candidate networks’ topologies and the resolution of a multi-modal transport optimization model to determine the cost-optimal infrastructure, considering a year-long time horizon with daily resolution.
The analysis looks at a 2050 scenario with a 25% share of fuel cell electric vehicles among passenger cars, considering the Italian region of Lombardy as case study. Results show the advantages of infrastructural integration in terms of modalities and delivery areas. The resulting optimal infrastructure relies on the parallel use, with a specific mix, of all transport modalities (pipelines, compressed hydrogen trucks, and liquid hydrogen trucks), achieving an average cost of hydrogen production and delivery between 5 €/kg and 8 €/kg
A comprehensive multi-node multi-vector multi-sector modelling framework to investigate integrated energy systems and assess decarbonisation needs
No full textThe pathway towards decarbonised energy systems involves massive changes in adopted energy vectors, installed technologies, networks roles, and interaction capabilities. To investigate the combination of these effects, this work presents the OMNI-ES modelling framework (Optimisation Model for Network-Integrated Energy Systems), which offers a comprehensive approach to analyse multi-node, multi-vector, multi-sector energy systems. It adopts a detailed temporal and spatial resolution and implements multiple conversion options between energy vectors (electricity, hydrogen, natural gas, biomethane, biofuels, e-fuels, ...). The formulation solves the energy vector balances at each time step, taking into account sources, sinks, conversion processes, and storage systems. CO2 flows are also tracked, allowing the introduction of CO2 emission constraints that account for all contributions (fossil and biogenic, direct and indirect) and mitigation measures (capture, re-use, sequestration). In the article, OMNI-ES is applied to investigate an Italian scenario for 2050, adopting a regional (NUTS-2) resolution. The model output yields the cost-optimal energy system configuration that is capable to support the demand with net-zero CO2 emissions. Results show that the need for CO2 balance closure calls in several technologies, including massive renewable power generation (up to 20 times today’s capacities), storage systems (batteries, hydrogen, pumped hydro), biogenic sources (residual biomass and biomethane), and CO2 capture (both on fossil and biogenic sources). Networks emerge as critical elements, as the need to transport energy vectors saturates the expected capacities of grid infrastructures, especially in the case of hydrogen

Citizenship in the Arab world: kin, religion and nation-state
No full textThe book is the fruit of five years of on-site research on citizenship in the Arab world. It takes a broader legal perspective to the multifaceted reality of nationality and citizenship. The methodology employed builds on the interdisciplinary approach of comparative legal studies, and brings in theories, concepts and insights from anthropology, political science, Arab and Islamic studies, linguistics and sociology. The work relies on a broad range of Western and Arab references, and all sources and documents were directly accessed in their original languages; this is particularly relevant for Arab legislation (all in-text reference has been translated by the author, and the original has been inserted using scientific transliteration).Gianluca P.
