There are many reasons why heat transfer and heat exchangers play a key role in the development of sustainable energy systems as well as in the reduction of emissions and pollutants. In general, all attempts to achieve processes and thermodynamic cycles with high efficiency, low emissions, low costs include heat transfer and heat exchangers to a large extent. It is known that sustainable energy de
Sustainable development rests on, among other things, the ability of policy to stimulate corporate actors to improve their environmental performance. Yet policy design and implementation is a challenging task in this area. This paper investigates this issue by examining the ability of the UK Emissions Trading Scheme to foster corporate sustainability from two perspectives: (a) its institutional fr
Recent critics of organizational learning and its normative offshoot the ‘learning organization’ have posited that conceptualisations of organizations based on knowledge and learning constitute a rhetorical device enabling elites to assert different forms of control through a new ‘normalising discourse’. The paper, whilst welcoming such critique, nevertheless asks whether it is adequate to dismiss
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är en viktig uppgift för samhället att förebygga HIV och STI (sexuellt överförbara infektioner) bland ungdomar. Under de första åren av 1990-talet, när denna studie genomfördes, ökade dessa infektioner på ett oroväckande sätt. Detta gällde särskilt klamydiainfektionerna och nästan 25% av studenterna vid Lunds universitet rapporterade att de hade haft en konstaterad Slowing the incidence of HIV and STI among young people requires that they change their sexual behaviours. There is evidence that community-based interventions that target multiple levels of influence can be effective. In community mobilization different segments and sectors of a population are directly involved in problem identification and in the design and implementation of programs. The proces
In software engineering research, experiments are conducted to evaluate new methods or techniques. The experimentation as such is beginning to mature, but little effort is spent on learning across different studies, except for a few meta-analyses. Meta-analysis can be applied to a set of experiments with the same design. This paper discusses learning across a set of experimental studies on fault d
Background: Joint pain and chronic back pain are highly prevalent in the aging population and have a large impact on life quality. As the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, this exploratory cross-sectional study aimed to discover proteins and pathways associated with these two pain conditions in Swedish 70-year-old men. Methods: Plasma proteins (n = 720) were measured in participants
This paper explores an initiative by a local government in Rättvik, Sweden, to increase the consumption of local food in the municipal kitchens. It explores public procurement of local food as a way for local governments to address sustainability and climate goals while meeting residents’ demand for ‘good’ local food. Through a qualitative case study reviewing food and procurement policies across
Introduction.Kraft black liquor is a side-stream produced during the kraft pulping process containing lignin, hemicelluloses and cooking chemicals. The stream is usually evaporated and burned in the recovery boiler to recover the cooking chemicals and generate energy. The mill is, however, often/sometimes limited by recovery boiler capacity, and removing some of the lignin from kraft black liquor
Researchers have widely applied discharge simulation using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and have gained prominence in water resources. Morphological features, watershed urbanization, and climate change influence hydrological variables. Thus, data-driven models need to be able to identify the hydrological relationships without explicitly stating the physical processes. The main objectives of t
Creating software tools that address the needs of a wide range of decision-makers requires the inclusion of differing perspectives throughout the development process. Software tools for biodiversity conservation often fall short in this regard, partly because broad decision-maker needs may exceed the toolkits of single research groups or even institutions. We show that participatory, collaborative
The use of CRISPR-Cas bacterial adaptive immunity system components for targeted DNA changes has opened broad prospects for programmable genome editing of higher organisms. The most widely used gene editors are based on the Cas9 effectors of the type II CRISPR-Cas systems. In complex with guide RNAs, Cas9 proteins are able to directionally introduce double-stranded breaks into DNA regions that are
