In terms of climate change and precipitation, there is large interest in how large-scale climatic features affect regional rainfall amount and rainfall occurrence. Large-scale climate elements need to be downscaled to the regional level for hydrologic applications. Here, a new Nonhomogeneous Hidden Markov Model (NHMM) called the Bayesian-NHMM is presented for downscaling and predicting of multisit
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report a case study that qualitatively describes and analyses teachers’ discussions when planning and evaluating lessons under supervision, and what is described is the focus on their reasoning, the activities decided upon and how they decided to assess the pupils’ learning outcomes when transforming formal curriculum objectives for English as a foreign la
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe pre-school children's learning during a learning study, and their teachers’ awareness of each child's learning possibilities in relation to what they actually learned. The paper's aims are twofold; first, to focus on how to design learning study in pre-school settings; and second, to study young children's (aged 4-5) learning. Design/methodology/ap
The principle of linguistic relativity was formulated by Benjamin Lee Whorf (1940/1956), but it is also often referred to as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis in reference to Whorf's mentor at Yale University, Edward Sapir. Whorf contended that while we all see the same objective reality, we nonetheless interpret and classify it differently, based on the categories made available in our language. Therefo
Direct Membrane Filtration (DMF) is a relatively new concept for the treatment of municipal wastewater. While the widely established membrane bioreactor (MBR) concept combines biological treatment with membrane separation, the DMF concept operates abiotic. The DMF concept is particularly suited treating municipal wastewater having only BOD and total phosphorous (Ptot) discharge demands. Furthermor

Dwell time is crucial for railway operations, for example, 20% of the total travel time in a mass transit context in the Paris region. With this, it is also a source of delays due to its variability. One way to ensure the robustness of a timetable is to add margins as buffer time that can be consumed to absorb short delays. Much work has been done on run time margins, but dwell time margins receiv
The breakdown of relations between China and the US has prompted Beijing to shore up existing friendships, and seek new ones.
This theoretical paper adopts a procedural perspective to identify the challenges associated with the implementation of the full scope of approaches to circular public procurement (CPP). We contend that beyond considering CPP from a substantive standpoint (i.e. the procurement affects outside of the organization), adopting a procedural perspective (i.e. the procurement affects inside an organizati
In 2022 the Serbian Orthodox Church managed to seal off two of its longstanding ecclesial conflicts in former Yugoslavia and put an end to open hostility. The end of the conflicts seems to have been prompted as a response to the War in Ukraine. This chapter explores the Orthodox diplomacy in Montenegro and Macedonia and how it relates to the geopolitical and ecclesial role of the Serbian Orthodox
Kommunalt arbete för privat konsumtion som inte hotar klimatet. Ska Sverige nå de utsläppsmål av växthusgaser som krävs för att förhindra en global katastrof i form av ökade temperaturer på vår planet, måste den genomsnittliga svensken minska sina totala årliga utsläpp till vad som idag motsvarar en flygresa tur och retur till Thailand. För att möjliggöra de stora samhälls- och livsstilsförändrinThe Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has come to the conclusion that Sweden must cut their greenhouse gas emissions by around 80 % until the year 2050 for it to be possible to meet the climate targets set by the UN. This study aims to show what role the municipalities in Sweden play in the transition of the society to sustainable levels of emissions, focusing on private consumption. The pur
There are plenty of IT-consultancy firms operating today, and the numbers show that they keep getting more and more. At the same time, the demand for these services are increasing. The biggest issue that these firms face today is related to finding new business opportunities. The complexity surrounding the purchase of these services make it a complex subject that is hard to fully grasp. It include
