- Flexibility is often a keyword for people working in project-oriented organisations. It definitely influences their everyday life, since they are expected to be available and engaged anytime and anywhere and often with different types of obligations. However, there are constraints limiting people's possibilities in every specific time-space. The time-geographical perspective provides concepts for analysing constraints, by identifying: Capacity, coupling, steering or authority constraints. The aim of this paper is to discuss the time-geographical concept of constraints and analyse how they are overcame by a flexible use of time. The paper is based on two field studies. The first was conducted in twelve households and included in-depth interviews at two occasions and in between the household members wrote time-diaries during a week. The second was more extensive. Two focus groups, each with 24 persons, who all had written time-diaries, were interviewed. The conclusion of these studies is that different forms of constraints define the outcome of flexibility and that the use of time can be an expression of power.

Kulturarvet som strategisk resurs i den gröna omställningen i norr: målkonflikt eller möjlighet?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Artikeln diskuterar kulturarvet i ljuset av den ’gröna omställning’ som svarar på EU:s mål och riktade finansiella satsningar för industriomvandlingen i norra Sverige. Det kan jämföras med den stora industriella omställningen vid 1900-talets början såväl genom att skapa nya möjligheter men också genom de målkonflikter som uppstår mellan nya och befintliga värden, både vad gäller naturförhållanden och ekonomi som kulturvärden och historiska lämningar av mänsklig verksamhet. Omställningen berör platser med en lång historia av mänskligt liv och arbete och som spelar en viktig roll för de som idag bor där och potentiellt för de som söker sig dit för att driva verksamhet eller för att bo, leva och arbeta. I många fall visar det sig svårt att ta denna potential tillvara av skäl som är strukturella, juridiska och politiska snarare än knutna till enskilda aktörer. Artikeln är författad av en multidisciplinär forskargrupp som använder ett praktikbaserat förhållningssätt och samskapande dialog för att undersöka hur förbättrade planeringsprocesser som tidigt involverar olika aktörer, intressen och expertis i förändringsprojekt kan bidra till att lösa målkonflikter och skapa möjligheter. Målkonflikter mellan exploatering och bevarandeintressen i samband med myndigheters och privata aktörers hantering av natur- och kulturmiljöer har länge varit i fokus för forskningen och artikeln syftar till att komplettera dessa perspektiv utifrån exempel som illustrerar möjligheter för att det fysiska kulturarvet ska ses som en strategisk historisk resurs i samhällsutvecklingen. En utgångspunkt är att kulturarv inte är statiskt utan värderas och omvärderas i en process där olika kulturvärden kan associeras med byggnader, platser och miljöer. Dessa kulturvärden förändras alltså över tid, och olika aktörer förhåller sig till dem på skiftande sätt. Genom processer som inbegriper förhandling med andra intressen kan landskap, platser, byggnader, föremål och deras användning förvandlas till kulturarv. Ett samskapande arbetssätt har möjliggjorts genom ett forsknings- och innovationsprojekt, finansierat av Vinnova, vilket genomförts genom en kombinerad metodansats med fallstudier, i projektet kallade lärcase, som ram för empiriska undersökningar och praktiskt genomförande. De lärcase som lyfts i denna artikel är dels Nautanen, en tidigare gruvmiljö i Norrbotten där nyetablering planeras av Boliden AB, dels Kvarnsvedens tidigare pappersbruk i Borlänge, där Northvolt etablerar en fabrik för produktion av bilbatterier vilket medfört rivning av en byggnad med konstaterade kulturhistoriska värden, den så kallade Bobergshallen. Med förslag till fortsatt forskning genom begreppsutveckling i en multidisciplinär och praktiknära kontext problematiserar artikeln begreppet cirkulär ekonomi i relation till kulturarvsfrågor och möjliggör att kulturarvet nyttjas som strategisk resurs i den gröna omställningen med förhoppning att realisera förväntningarna om grön nyindustralisering och attraktiva livsmiljöer.

The Role of Pilot and Demonstration Plants in Technology Development and Innovation Policy

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Pilot- and demonstration plants (PDPs) represent bridges between generating basic knowledge and technological breakthroughs on the one hand, and industrial applications and commercial adoption on the other. This paper reports on a longitudinal study of how two technological fields that received significant public funding evolved—biochemical conversion of biomass and thermal conversion of black liquor. In doing so, this study makes two contributions. First, it provides a framework for analyzing the roles of various types of PDPs in developing new technology. The framework highlights the learning processes taking place at and around these plants and how they contribute to reducing different types of risks. It also elaborates on the importance of actor networks and institutional preconditions, and how both network performance and institutions can be influenced through various strategies. Second, the article contributes with new insights into the challenges of innovation policy in a PDP context. A policy mix is often required because policy cannot be considered meaningfully at a single level of government and will therefore be influenced heavily by limited foresight and politics (both nationally and locally). Therefore, policy must address both the need for parallel and iterative public funding of R&D and different types of plants, as well as attempts to directly influence collaborative processes in actor networks.

Provision of electricity to African households : The importance of democracy and institutional quality

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- How can differences in per capita household electricity consumption across African countries be understood? Based on theories that highlight the importance of democracy and institutional quality for provision of public goods, the aim of the paper is to analyse the degree to which the level of per capita household electricity consumption in African countries can be attributed to the countries’ democratic status and their institutional quality. We rely on regression analysis employing a pooled data set for 44 African countries over the time period 1996–2009. The analysis shows that democracy and institutional quality both have significant positive effects on per capita household consumption of electricity. Our results have implications for how energy sector reforms are promoted in developing countries. At a more general level they illustrate that institution-building policy efforts are relevant also in areas where contemporary debates have tended to primarily centre on economic development, financial prerequisites and ownership issues.

- The objective of this study is to portray the illness-related threats experienced by parents of children after the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) tumor. Parents were asked to rate the extent to which they experienced a set of specific fears related to their child's brain tumor and its treatment. Outcomes for parents of CNS tumor patients (n = 82) were compared with those of reference parents of patients treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 208). The fears about an illness recurrence and the late effects of treatment were most prominent among parents of CNS tumor patients. For 7 out of 11 kinds of fear, parents of CNS tumor patients expressed a stronger fear than the reference group. More than a quarter of the parents of children treated for CNS tumors feared a complete decline of the child. Parents of CNS tumor patients experience relatively heightened cancer related fears in several domains. The fear of devastating consequences felt by one fourth of parents signals the need of individualized psychological support and information at diagnosis and follow-up to facilitate parental coping with the posttreatment situation.

The negative footprint illusion is exacerbated by the numerosity of environment-friendly additions: unveiling the underpinning mechanisms

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The addition of environmentally friendly items to conventional items sometimes leads people to believe that the carbon footprint of the entire set decreases rather than increases. This negative footprint illusion is supposedly underpinned by an averaging bias: people base environmental impact estimates not on the total impact of items but on their average. Here, we found that the illusion's magnitude increased with the addition of a greater number of "green" items when the number of conventional items remained constant (Studies 1 and 2), supporting the averaging-bias account. We challenged this account by testing what happens when the number of items in the conventional and "green" categories vary while holding the ratio between the two categories constant (Study 3). At odds with the averaging-bias account, the magnitude of the illusion increased as the category size increased, revealing a category-size bias, and raising questions about the interplay between these biases in the illusion.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter compares the post-extraction dynamics of two mining regions in the Fennoscandinavian Arctic: the Pite valley, Sweden, and Kolari, Finland. In 1946 the Swedish mining company Boliden closed a mine in Laver, which became a ghost town. Decades later, state authorities tried to turn Laver into a cultural heritage site. Boliden joined the effort to support its plan to re-start mining at Laver, a project that has, however, become highly controversial. The Finnish case deals with a similar controversy. Hannukainen mining company wants to re-open an iron ore mine that was in operation 1975-1990. As part of their strategy to gain acceptance for re-opening, the company and supporters of the project have mobilized the history of the mining sites and argues mining is a core element of the heritage of the Kolar municipality. Both cases have generated tension regarding the type of history and heritage of these regions: those of reindeer herding by Sámi and other local communities, or that of extractive industries? The cases show that heritage making can be useful, but it can also be a source of conflict, further underscoring the importance of the long-term view of extraction.
