The aim of this study was to investigate whether cross-site networking of environmental managers in globally active companies can offer a solution for the efficient internal use of intangible resources. In addition, it examines whether findings from research and practice on interorganisational environmental networks can be transferred to intraorganisational contexts. The study is based on a case s
This thesis investigates everyday misrecognition of Roma flower-sellers in Istanbul’s Ataşehir district, focusing on how they navigate ethnically mixed neighborhoods and workplaces. Drawing on Honneth’s recognition theory, Giles’s critique, and Gramsci’s cultural hegemony, it examines how racialization and normative discrimination shape daily interactions. Based on one month of ethnographic fieldw
Hybrid detectors, consisting of semiconductor sensors bonded to a readout Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), are widely used for single-photon detection in photon science and high-energy physics. The Timepix3 readout chip provides precise Time-over-Threshold (ToT) and Time-of-Arrival (ToA) measurements, making it a valuable tool for sensor characterization. This thesis presents the
This study looked at a fluorocarbon-free water-repellent treatment on different types of polyester textiles in order to test the durability of the treatment in simulated wear-and-tear tests in collaboration with Thule Group. This research was being done in order to gain a deeper understanding in the strengths and limitations of the C0 Water-Repellent (C0WR) treatment on polyester textiles. The stu
Scholars have shown that lifestyle change is pivotal for any effective climate-mitigation scenario. But what lifestyle changes are needed and how can they be enabled and mainstreamed? This is the question pursued by the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project, the results of which the article summarizes and synthesizes. The project integrated quantitative and qualitative methods, ranging from input-output anal
This study is a long-term follow-up of a previously published study that used the internet in the rehabilitation of people on long-term sick leave owing to chronic pain and/or burnout. The follow-up was to assess the effects over time of this kind of rehabilitation. The goals of the first study were to improve the participants' health and work capacity. Sixty people were randomly assigned to eithe
The interest in economic evaluation of alternative strategies for haemophilia treatment has increased through the years. Few studies have actually been undertaken, however, and most of them have been simple cost-minimization or cost-effectiveness analyses. From the perspective of the binational project 'Treatment strategies for severe haemophilia - prophylaxis vs. on-demand', the present paper dis
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the patterns of compliance and the frequency of adenomas and neoplasms in a Swedish population. Methods: In 1996, 2000 men and women born in 1935 or 1936 were selected at random from the population registers of Uppsala and Malmo/Lund. All subjects were invited by mail to participate. In a randomised study design, subjects were either called up by a nurse
This review represents a detailed and comprehensive discussion of the Thermal Field Theory (TFT) concepts and key results in Yukawa-type theories. We start with a general pedagogical introduction into the TFT in the imaginary- and real-time formulation. As phenomenologically relevant implications, we present a compendium of thermal decay rates for several typical reactions calculated within the fr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cellulosa och stärkelse är naturligt förekommande polysackarider, som är uppbyggda av långa rader av flera tusen sammanbundna glukosmolekyler. De är biologiskt nedbrytbara, billiga och dessutom förnyelsebara, och används mycket som råvaror i läkemedels-, livsmedels-, textil-, pappers- och byggnadsindustrin. För att cellulosa och stärkelse ska kunna användas industrelltCellulose and starch are non-toxic, biodegradable and modifiable polymers. These properties have made them increasingly important in industrial products e. g. in pharmaceutical applications and in technical dispersions. By chemical modification of these polymers the physical and chemical properties of the polymer can be adjusted to suit a certain area of application. The characteristics of modifie
Stabell and Fjeldstad (1998) proposed three value configurations; the value shop, the value chain and the value network based on Thompson’s (1967) three technologies as a typology. However, that Thompson’s technologies constitute a typology has been criticized (cf Barbini and Neri, 2017). Also, research has highlighted increased shifts in value configurations and hybrid forms. Thus, the question a
The increasing use of digital tools in archaeology has vastly expanded our capacity to document and visualise the past, yet the reasoning that connects evidence to interpretation often remains implicit or undocumented. This paper addresses that gapby integrating Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE)—a philosophical model of hypothesis evaluation—into the Archaeological Interactive Report (AIR),
The Industrial Symbiosis Readiness Level Matrix (ISRLM) tool presented in this paper, was developed to address the challenges inherent in implementing and managing Industrial Symbiosis (IS) networks. IS networks are complex systems involving diverse actors with varying levels of preparedness, perspectives, and priorities, which can result in miscommunication, inefficiencies, and slow implementatio
This study investigates the practical integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Building Energy Modelling (BEM) for energy-efficient building design. This research explores the challenges and opportunities of openBIM-to-BEM workflows by drawing on a literature review and a real-world case study in Östergötland County, typical of the Million Programme, a large public housing initiativ
This work is devoted to the development and comprehensive validation of a new interatomic potential for bcc and hcp refractory alloys based on the Wsingle bondMosingle bondNbsingle bondTasingle bondZrsingle bondTi system. The presented model allows the simulation of various structural transformations, as well as the behavior of crystal defects in several of the phases observed in this system. The
