In the issue of using Life cycle assessment (LCA) for assessing E-commerce, we had some epistemological observations, via content analyse method, indicating that LCA has not only aspects of the ‘Systems Approach’ but also of the ‘Analytical Approach’, with even less emphasis on the former in practical terms. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the connection among these observations, and

Popular Abstract in English Colors have always been part of human life and culture. Today natural pigments have been substituted by synthetic dyes that usually end up threatening nature itself by polluting the environment. To what extent can we use chemistry and biology to minimize the environmental impact of the textile industry? During the dyeing process a certain amount of dye, 2 to 50 percent,Treatment of textile wastewater is challenging because the water contains toxic compounds that have low biodegradability. Dyes, detergents, surfactants, biocides and more are used to improve the textile process and to make the clothes resistant to physical, chemical and biological agents. New technologies have been developed in the last decades and in particular Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs)

Th article deals with the system of negation in Övdalian (Swe. älvdalska), focusing on two inter-clausal negations and negative concord in the language.

Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is an alternative to conventional CFD to capture the detailed activities of the transport processes at microscale. Here LBM is used to model the hydrogen production by splitting water by incident sunlight over water covered Si-nanorods. The purpose of this study is, by a 3D microscale model, to investigate the transport and the formation of the hydrogen bubbles by el

Where are the ends of ethnography? How detached can a site-specific work be? The point of departure for discussing these questions is Elsewhereness, a series of site specific experimental films, by Anders Weberg and Robert Willim. These take the possibilities for digital media in relation to site specific art to its extremes, juxtaposing the nomadic with the placebound. The works in the series are

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cerebral pares (CP) drabbar drygt 2 barn per 1000 födda och är den vanligaste orsaken till rörelsehinder hos barn och ungdomar. På latin betyder CP "förlamning från hjärnan" och är ett samlingsnamn för ett följdtillstånd efter en skada i den omogna hjärnan under dess utveckling från fosterstadiet t o m 2-års ålder. Skadan är av engångskaraktär men de olika symtomen föräCerebral palsy (CP) is a term for a group of conditions associated with motor disabilities, that are very heterogeneous, i.e. symptoms, severity, associated impairments, functional outcome and needs. The overall purpose of this thesis was to study the prevalence and gross motor function and to evaluate and adapt measurements in children with CP. The prevalence in Southern Sweden was 2.4 per 1000 c

Water resources issue in the Middle East is an important question related to the 4th June 1967 line in the Middle East peace process. This paper focuses on possibilities within the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approach to contribute to the peace process between what is called Israel and Arab countries emphasizing fruitful cooperation to resolve the 4th June 1967 line issue. The pap

Efter 11 september 2001 har Centralasien blivit ett politiskt högaktuellt område. De fängslade uigurerna på Guantánamobasen har återigen satt Östturkestan på kartan. Östturkestan eller Xinjiang är fortfarande ganska okänt bland de flesta svenskar, men tack vare Sven Hedin, Gunnar Jarring och Svenska Missionsförbundet har ovärderliga delar av det uiguriska kulturarvet bevarats i vårt land.

Air layers trapped within a clothing microenvironment contribute to the thermal insulation afforded by the ensemble. Any exchange of air between the external environment and these trapped air layers results in a change in the ensemble's thermal insulation and water vapor resistance characteristics. These effects are seldom taken into account when considering the effects of clothing on human heat b

The phenomenological essay “Kriegslandschaft” (War landscape) was Lewin’s first learned endeavour after his thesis and builds on his experiences as an artillery foot soldier during WW 1. In the present paper earlier readings by Heider and Bronfenbrenner are reviewed with a view to nuclei of phenomenological concepts, such as i.a. boundary, direction and zone, later to be developed in Lewin’s writi
