The food and beverage industry is one of the most water-intensive industries, with water required for various processes (e.g., washing, cooking, cleaning) at almost every stage of the production, as well as being a key constituent in many food and drink products. Therefore, a real-time efficient water management strategy is imperative, and the novel internet of things (IoT)-based technologies can
In the last two decades, health promotion strategies have gained significant attention in end-of-life care contexts—engendering greater focus on community and informal care in policy and healthcare spheres in liberal welfare-states. The emergence of health-promoting palliative care (HPPC) in the Nordic context presents a unique challenge to the abiding social contract of care which emphasizes the
This study follows on from a network-based assessment redesign project at a Canadian university, to investigate factors relating to academic engagement and sustained implementation. The project was designed with mini-grants, embedded support and a community of practice. Assessment facilitators worked in discipline clusters to achieve mutual goals for assessment reform targeted at authentic develop
Urbana, pluviala översvämningar orsakar stor skada på infrastruktur, byggnader och stadslivet under och efter extremregn. I den här studien har anmälningar och rapporter från försäkringsbolag och VA-huvudmannen i Malmö, VA Syd, analyserats spatialt. Målsättningen var att få en bättre förståelse för de mekanismer som påverkar pluviala översvämningar, dvs. översvämningar från intensiva regn, ibland Urban, pluvial flooding severely effects infrastructure, buildings and urban life during and after extreme rainfall. In this study, spatial analyses of flood claims from insurance companies and the water utility company of Malmö, VA Syd, are used to better understand the mechanisms and characteristics of pluvial flooding. The same data sets are used to analyse how blue-green infrastructure impacts
Utbildningsstyrelsen har i samarbete med undervisnings- och kulturministeriet börjat utveckla rektorsutbildningarna mera målmedvetet än tidigare, i synnerhet de utbildningsprogram för läroanstalternas ledning som finansieras via programmet Kunnig (Osaava). En åtgärd som ansetts vara nödvändig som underlag för utvecklingsarbetet har varit att kartlägga olika länders praxis för utbildning av läroansThe Finnish National Board of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture, has started to develop the training of rectors in a more systematic way by utilizing the funds which were allocated for the Osaava programme. One of the pre-liminary measures in this regard included a survey concerning the continuing education practices of school leaders on a worldwide basis. The
Computer simulation can provide valuable insight into the forces driving biomolecular liquid-liquid phase separation. However, the simulated systems have a limited size, which makes it important to minimize and control finite-size effects. Here, using a phenomenological free-energy ansatz, we investigate how the single-phase densities observed in a canonical system under coexistence conditions dep
This is an overview article regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential normative implications. Technology has always had inherent normative consequences not least due to AI and the use of algorithms. There is a crucial difference between algorithms in a technical sense and from a social-science perspective. It is a question of different orders of normativity - the first related to th
Background: Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling.Methods: The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgi
Resorting more and more to e-learning means a thorough transformation of the teaching processes. Once the teacher-student communication is realized on yahoo-groups or Facebook-groups, the classical roles in the classroom become obsolete. With teachers having the possibility to enter in due time on students’ forums, the former relation of power in education moves to a collaborative one. More and mo
The most prominent poets in the two golden ages of Swedish Poetry in the 19th Century are presented: Tegnér, Stagnelius, von Heidenstam,Fröding, Karlfeldt. Their formal skills as well as their main themes are described, and citations are given in english and swedish.
Sub Saharan African (SSA) countries are facing severe economic challenges such as high trade costs, poor trade performance and low growth levels. As a result development assistance is needed to overcome these difficulties. SSA countries receive the highest share of Aid for Trade (AfT) and therefore it is important to assess the effects of AfT. This study investigates the trade effect of AfT on tra
Title: Why do some municipalities stop using the balanced scorecard? - A case study in three Swedish municipalities. Seminar date: 2014-06-05 Course: FEKH69 Authors: Denice Klytsareff, Pär-Ola Olsson, Hanna Tengeborg Advisor: Mikael Hellström Key words: Balanced scorecard, not for profit, municipality, management control, organizational change. Purpose: To describe and analyze why some Swe
Spridningsmöjligheterna för fyra arter av hotade eller sårbara trädlevande skalbaggar i Lunds stad är bristfälliga. För att bibehållandet av livskraftiga populationer är det av stor vikt att individerna har möjlighet att sprida sig mellan de livsmiljöer som träden utgör. Därför ökar betydelsen av ett bevarandearbete som integreras med stadens samhälleliga planering så att befintliga träd som är väUrban trees are of great value as habitat and as elements for dispersal of many biological organisms. Hence, tree inventories are an important step for local municipalities in the effort to promote urban biodiversity of organisms dependent of trees for dispersal and survival. Lund is one of the municipalities which have carried out a comprehensive tree inventory. The purpose of this study is, on b
