Regime change is considered essential for sustainability transitions. An important source of regime change is pressure from alternative innovations developed in niches and the actors involved. Governments often play an important role in such niche-regime interactions and affect whether, and how, this results in regime change. However, an overview of the various roles governments can play with resp
This report presents findings from a case study on food sharing in Utrecht conducted within the CULTIVATE project (Co-designing Food Sharing Innovation for Resilience, https:// cultivate-project.eu/), funded by the EU Horizon Research and Innovation Programme (GA#101083377). It contributes to Task 3.1 in Work Package (WP) 3, examining the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of food shar
The PHENIX experiment has measured the suppression of semi-inclusive single high-transverse-momentum pi(0)'s in Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The present understanding of this suppression is in terms of energy loss of the parent (fragmenting) parton in a dense color-charge medium. We have performed a quantitative comparison between various parton energy-loss models and our experimental
Violence is a central part of criminality with young men overrepresented in assault relates violence, both as perpetrator and victim. Our aim of this study was to get a picture of what attitudes ordinary young men have toward masculinity and manliness as well of violence and how these attitudes relate to their picture of the young man as a victim. The empirical material was qualitatively collected
Extensive utilisation of logging residues, straw, and energy crops will lead to short transportation distances and thus low transportation costs. The average distance of transportation of biomass to a large-scale conversion plant, suitable for electricity or methanol production using 300 000 dry tonne biomass yearly, will be about 30 km in Sweden, if the conversion plant is located at the centre o
This thesis explores how the heterotopic and liminal dimensions of Munich’s Oktoberfest produced differentiated visitor experiences, and how spatial, temporal, ritual, and social dynamics mediate feelings of authenticity, communitas, and belonging across visitor types. Adopting an interpretivist, social constructionist approach, the thesis combines semi-structured interviews with 15 participants a
Chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) followed by microsieving and direct membrane filtration (DMF) as ultrafiltration, was evaluated on pilot scale at a municipal wastewater treatment plant. In addition, a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter downstream of DMF was evaluated for the removal of organic micropollutants. Up to 80% of the total organic carbon (TOC) and 96% of the total phosph
Kortvariga intensiva regn med varaktighet upp till en timme åren 1980–2007 från nederbördsmätare i Malmöhar analyserats för att finna intensiteter med lång återkomsttid. Oberoende observationer för olika stationer harsammanförts till en serie till vilken sannolikhetsfördelningar anpassats. Korttidsregnmätningars tillförlitlighetdiskuteras. De extrema händelserna har behandlats individuellt. För atShort-term intensive storms of duration up to an hour the years 1980–2007 from rain gauges in Malmö havebeen analyzed to find intensities of long return periods. Non-dependent observations from different stationshave been combined into a series to which probability functions have been adjusted. The extreme events havebeen investigated individually. The reliability of rain measurements is discussed
Electric vehicles (EVs) are vital for a decarbonized society, but the rapid growth of the EV market highlights an impending lithium supply crisis. This study integrates supply-demand analysis with trade network simulations, using eight lithium demand scenarios and two supply scenarios to examine regional lithium dynamics and the impact of international trade. Results show that while domestic lithi
The polymer electrolyte fuel cells are electrochemical devices that can produce electricity, water, and heat through chemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen. This manuscript focuses on one detailed state of degradation, called as Membrane Chemical Stability and Metrics. The Accelerated Stress Test under study was standardized by the Department of Energy. Recent advancements in the study of degra
A combination of searches for the single production of vectorlike top quarks ((Formula presented)) is presented. These analyses are based on proton-proton collisions at (Formula presented) recorded in 2015-2018 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of (Formula presented). The (Formula presented) decay modes considered in this combination ar
Membrane technology has revolutionized protein recovery in the food industry, beginning with whey protein extraction via ultrafiltration. This success led to its application in concentrating animal proteins like blood plasma, fish proteins, and albumen. As the protein shift towards plant-based sources grows, membrane processes now enable the industrial recovery of wheat, sunflower, and rapeseed pr
The purpose of this paper was to listen to juvenile criminals about there experience of the social service secretary, the sentence and the correctional system. The questions I wanted an answer to was: how did the youngster experience the contact with the soical service? What did they think of the sentence and the measure from the social service? Did they have any significant others who could helpe
