Fiscal grievance politics: wealth taxation and master‐race democracy in post‐coup Bolivia Politique des griefs fiscaux : impôt sur la fortune et démocratie de la race maîtresse en Bolivie post‐coup d’État

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article analyses a new wealth tax (the IGF) in Bolivia against the backdrop of the 2019 ousting of former president Evo Morales. In doing so, it engages calls for ‘a return to politics’ in anthropology by proposing the notion of a ‘fiscal grievance politics’ as animating elite opposition to the tax in lowland Santa Cruz department.

Catalytic steam reforming of waste tire pyrolysis volatiles using a tire char catalyst for high yield hydrogen-rich syngas

Fuel Processing Technology
The production of hydrogen and syngas (H2/CO) from waste tires by pyrolysis catalytic steam reforming was investigated in a two-stage fixed bed reactor. In this study, tire char served as a sacrificial catalyst, facilitating the combination of catalytic ...

The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Mergers and Acquisitions as Navigators of Climate Policy Shocks: Evidence from the NOx Budget Trading Program

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how mergers and acquisitions (M&As) enable firms to adapt to climate policy shocks. Exploiting the adoption of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Budget Trading Program (NBP) across US states as an exogenous shock, we find that firms with NOx‐emitting plants subject to the NBP are more likely to engage in M&As, particularly through vertical ...

Optimization of Ni loading amount in Ni-CeZrO2 catalyst for dodecane steam reforming for the upcycling of plastic pyrolysis oil

Fuel Processing Technology
In response to global efforts to address plastic pollution, pyrolysis of waste plastics offers a sustainable pathway for chemical recycling and clean hydrogen production. This study focuses on the steam reforming of dodecane, a key component of light oil
