past natures for future conservation current narratives and historical humanwildlifeland relations in southern africa and the european alps

conservationists often use historical arguments to justify their visions of which groups of human and nonhuman species should live where and how imagined pasts are central to influential concepts and practices of conservation such as rewilding species reintroduction or landscape restoration these narratives range from vague references to past equilibriums that need to be saved to more specific baselines of past distribution of certain species that need to be restored to the recreation of specific past landscapes in new settings historians have hardly contributed to these historicized arguments following recent calls for conservation humanities i apply historiographical methods to engage with conservationists ideas of past humanwildlifeland interactions and practices in southern africa and the european alps firstly i analyze contextualize and compare how conservation organizations use imagined past humanwildlifeland relations and develop a typology of historical conservation narratives in southern africa conservationists present africans as naturally knowing how to live in their environment or as a threat to nature in europe conservationists narratives present historical people as experts or masters of nature secondly i research specific historical moments in both regions to juxtapose conservation narratives with localized analyses of historical changes in humanwildlifeland relations thirdly by combining critical historical analyses of cases in the global south with those of europe i challenge powerful conservation narratives that often perpetuate global power structuresby this i critique ongoing conservation debates and practices and offer novel perspectives of multispecies pasts a thorough understanding of these pasts is crucial for coping with immense present and challenges in the light of the ongoing climate crisis as for example formulated in the cop15 agreement to conserve andor restore 30 of the worlds surface

the research ethics process is facing increasing challenges at a global level new and emerging technologies present challenges to ethics reviewers who may be unskilled in the relevant fields increased internationalisation of research has led to fears of ethics dumping and there is a lack of standardisation across europe and the world a key objective of national and eu research policy is to ensure compliance with the highest standards of research ethics given the impact of research on society in terms of potential to generate innovative solutions to problems and yet with the associated risk of harm rigorous ethical research conduct is essential to ensure public trust in the scientific endeavour irecs will address these problems in four ways first it will scan and map existing needs raised by new and emerging technologies in european and global research ethics communities second it will produce and implement training materials for european and global audiences in research ethics communities third it will conduct and permanently establish training programmes fourth it will propose adaptations to the research ethics process in europe through a unique blend of expertise global partners and the involvement of european research ethics networks as partners or members of the stakeholder advisory board irecs will develop a fresh awareness of research ethics and sustainable multipurpose multilanguage interactive training programmes for different users the project thus extends eneri and the embassy of good science into a horizontal community of research ethics practitioners policy makers and other key stakeholders
upscaling mixing and reactive transport through random granular media

modeling reactive transport of solutes in aquifers and other porous formations is a field with key applications for a wide range of problems in contaminant transport soil remediation subsurface co2 sequestration and geothermal energy the wide range of scales at which fluid flows are governed by physical heterogeneities in porous media is a major obstacle in developing practical and accurate reactive transport models the local mixing process governs and may limit the ability of reactants that are at close distance to establish direct contact and enable chemical reactions however continuumscale reactive transport models typically neglect the role of mixing at the pore scale and any other modelunresolved scales this is partly because the precise link between a porous mediums microstructure and its resulting mixing behavior has not been rigorously established yet
data spaces making sense of health in an age of crossborder data infrastructures

dataspace proposes a new conceptualization of how the pursuit of health is shaped by data healthcare is increasingly datafied and a wide range of actors patients clinicians administrators policymakers and industry want to be able to exchange and access health data across national boundaries competing initiatives for fostering crossborder data integration proliferate and the eu provides major investments eg through the european health data space these massive investments will influence healthcare administration and research but we do not know how dataspace explores what is driving the establishment of crossborder healthdata infrastructures which types of infrastructures are being established with which implications for whom and what comes to be included and acted upon in relation to health organizational performance and health policy furthermore these investments emerge in tandem with wider social changes where data have become constitutive for the lives we can live with dataspace we therefore explore and conceptualize how people experience themselves and the world around them with and through data we take the term space empirically present in the ehds initiative and reinvigorate it theoretically to establish a vocabulary fitted for understanding dataintensive health environments we suggest seeing data spaces as having both formative and experiential dimensions and explore how they interact concerning the formative dimensions data spaces are enacted through promises work and users four experiential dimensions relate to what is experienced as right legally and morally true epistemologically present phenomenologically and valuable economically emotionally and socially this theoretical approach moves beyond problematic distinctions between the virtual and the real and provides a new understanding of how patients clinicians researchers administrators and industry shape healthcare with and through data
