Venous air embolism was suspected in 3 hospitalised horses on the basis of an inadvertently open jugular venous line. Subsequently the 3 horses developed clinical signs including cardiovascular collapse, cardiac dysrhythmia, pulmonary oedema, behavioural abnormalities and neurological signs consistent with central nervous system injury. Treatment included intranasal oxygen therapy, i.v. fluid administration and anti‐inflammatory therapy. Specific therapy aimed at treating air embolism in man is reviewed, with pertinent therapy potentially applicable to horses emphasised.

•A toolkit for interdisciplinary energy research is presented.•One tool improves communication with document analysis and best practices.•Strategies for structured group discussion are offered as a second tool.•The toolkit is tested within the SMARTEES European research project.

Energy justice has reached a critical mass of contributions in recent years; nevertheless, different definitions of what energy justice is, appear to be competing, or at least they seem to be devoid of a theoretical effort at systematization of the concepts, an effort which could find a common theoretical root underpinning the current energy justice definitions. While tracing a common theoretical root might appear unnecessary to some, we argue that it contributes to strengthening the concept of energy justice and improves its suitability to application in policy design and policy evaluation. In this paper, we attempt to fill this gap, discussing how energy justice is embedded in the tradition of philosophical and political thought, with reference to the concept of equality. Further, we discuss the implications of this thesis.
