Experiences of Legal Pluralism in Sierra Leone: Land Governance, Neoliberal Dispossession and Gender (In)justice

open access: yesDevelopment and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sierra Leone's land governance reform policies are often based on the neoliberal assumption that market growth, gender equality and women's empowerment are mutually compatible objectives. Contrary to this assumption, this article argues that while market‐oriented reforms can help to destabilize legal and cultural norms that are discriminatory ...

The Legacy of Policy Inaction in Climate‐Growth Models

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To better understand the structure and core mechanisms of a broad class of climate‐growth models, we study a simplified version of the dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy (DICE) through the lens of growth theory. We analytically show that this model features a continuum of saddle‐point stable steady states.

Multinational enterprises’ contribution to gender equality: An integrative framework

open access: yesInternational Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the progress made in recent years, inequalities between men and women persist. Gender equality (GE) is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG5) that multinational enterprises (MNEs) can contribute most to. This is because SDG5 integrates directly into MNEs’ human resource practices, supply chain management and ...

The unicellular green microalga Botryosphaerella sudetica links plant‐like light protection with an algal lifestyle

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanisms fine‐tune light utilisation in the photosynthetic antenna, for example, in response to excess light, to prevent photodamage. NPQ comprises distinct mechanisms, all contributing to photoprotection but acting on different time scales.

Mitochondrial β‐carbonic anhydrase is a conserved metabolic rheostat for branched‐chain amino acid catabolism and metabolic flexibility

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are ubiquitous metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2, enabling fundamental processes in organisms across all domains of life. Among all CAs, the role of mitochondrial βCA remains poorly understood. Here, we identify a mitochondrial βCA, βCA6, as a key regulator of branched‐chain amino acid (BCAA)
