wartime demographic engineering war nationalism and population politics in putins russia

wardem explores the interconnected yet complex and contradictory relationships between war nationalism and population politics in putins russia the project provides an innovative analysis of the processes and practices that reshape the population in times of war and through the war challenging geriatric peace theory wardem examines the ways in which interstate war entails new demographic strategies more precisely it examines how in the context of a declining and ageing population an aggressor state may use war to expand the population by force through territorial annexation and the intake of displaced persons a strategy that is particularly relevant when these people are seen as ethnic kin wardem undertakes an interdisciplinary systematic case study of a critical case analysing russian population politics in the context of the war on ukraine from its outset in 2014 to the end of 2023 developing a transdisciplinary methodology that synthesises recent insights from nationalism studies political demography peace and conflict studies and illiberalism studies the project combines a focus on political discourse with an analysis of population policies that is citizenship immigration demography and ethnic policies as reflected in legal acts and policy documents these policies are part of a wartime demographic engineering which allows russia to integrate new populations forcibly while seeking to divide the ukrainian nation and weaken the ukrainian state thus the project develops a model linking the analysis of an authoritarian states aggressive foreign policy with the reshaping of its population and changes in its nationalist discourse wardem is a timely project responding to the current challenges facing eu foreign and security policy a rapidly evolving geopolitical environment the influx of refugees from ukraine and economic impact of war all calls for investigating the dynamics of russian expansionism and revisionism
metabolic flexibility in drought leveraging portulaca for defining design principles for a combined c4cam pathway

rising heatwaves and drought are severely affecting the capacity of crops to retain water and capture co2 during photosynthesis resulting in global yield reductions one of the most promising approaches to enhance crop production in stressful conditions is to synthetically modify the photosynthetic capacity of plants in nature some lineages have evolved mechanisms like c4 photosynthesis and the crassulacean acid metabolism cam to cope with some of these aspects while c4 species are extremely efficient at co2 fixation but vulnerable to severe drought cam plants are less productive but very capable of coping with significant drought periods engineering a joint c4cam system that uses cam features to fight drought while still relying on the power of c4 can be a gamechanger to increase crop resilience for decades the coexistence of c4 and cam was considered incompatible in nature an exception to the rule is found in the genus portulaca where c4 species can trigger cam when droughted despite the huge bioengineering potential of portulaca the molecular enablers that allow for c4cam to exist in this clade remain elusive previous phylogenetic and morphological studies across portulaca indicate the combined c4 kranz anatomy and cam succulence leaf anatomy might be the main facilitator of c4cam by combining anatomical studies cell specific metabolomics and genomics with synthetic biology i aim to identify the basic molecular determinants of the c4cam switch in portulaca and to leverage this knowledge to transfer cam anatomical features to c4 species outside portulaca as a proof of principle this will set the basis for new rounds of engineering to achieve a fully functional c4cam switch metacam will provide a quantum leap to our understanding on how incompatible metabolic pathways can be designed built and integrated in multicellular organisms which is broadly applicable to crop engineering

ontologies of waste a relational study of how waste comes to matter for humans society and future

the future world imagined by the circular economic model is a world without waste provided that materials and energy circulate efficiently enough through society the project wastematters disrupts the wasteasresource paradigm prevalent in the circular economy related politics business and scholarship alike and examines our contemporary trashscapes beyond the ideal of the eternal redemption of waste its novel approach is to analyse the leaky realities of waste as integral to the human condition and as constitutive of society the project explores the implications of waste throughout society and what waste does forto us what kind of relations agencies and spatiotemporal scales it assumes prompts enacts and sustains to what kind of futures society commits itself with it and what humans become with waste the project develops a new methodology morethanhuman ethnography to be able to attend to the vibrant nature and active role of waste in how we live together the research will be carried out through four substudies across various sites in sweden and finland which function as important nodal points in the management and circulation of wastes households businesses biogas plants waste incinerators and a nuclear waste repository and to attend to the multiplicity of waste the project will focus on four kinds of waste food waste plastic waste waste incineration ash and nuclear waste through the research design the project will generate groundbreaking insight into waste as both constitutive of society and as something that disturbs it the empirical methodological and conceptual insights will be combined to enable a leap in theory building to develop a new relational theory of waste that pays attention to the multiple spatiotemporal scales of society and human actions ultimately leading to a paradigm change from the circular economy to waste matter society
