In the context of growing concerns over climate change and peak oil, biofuels for transport are attracting considerable support from the European Union (EU). However, the sustainability of biofuels is under increasing debate. Furthermore, the complexity of the biofuels industry (involving different resources and feedstock suppliers, different logistics providers and options, a range of technologie

DN DEBATT 2/2. Även om regleringen av läkemedel i Sverige är effektiv, tyder mycket på att förekomsten av förfalskade läkemedel tilltar. Ett nytt EU-direktiv som träder i kraft nästa vecka ska förhindra spridning av förfalskade läkemedel. Det skapar förutsättningar för att spåra och stoppa farliga produkter, skriver forskaren Susanne Lundin.

Due to unique electronic and optical properties, semiconductor nanowires (NW) are widely used in various opto-electronic devices. Concerns have been raised about using NW since they share morphological similarities with nanofibers, such as carbon nanotubes and asbestos. However, the effects of NW exposure on humans remain unknown and there is a pressing need to assess any possible NW toxicity. Dur

Aiming at a feasible industrial scale bioplastic (PHAs) production, a microbial-based PHA-extraction technique was developed and investigated for extraction of different kinds of PHAs and a variety of well-studied producing microbial strains. This technology could make bioplastics production free of the use of organic solvents or other recovery chemicals. The technology allows the co-production of

The chapter integrates physicalist and constructivist approaches to phenomena conventionally categorised as ‘labour’ and ‘energy’ by unravelling how the two entangled concepts reflect nineteenth-century modernity’s increasingly instrumental approach to both society and nature. Energy technologies became understood as the efficient harnessing of nature’s powers in much the same way as economists fo

This paper provides a framework by developing a conceptual model explaining how perceived return policy fairness influence consumer purchases intentions in an online context. By reviewing the literature in consumer return, signal and justice theory a conceptual model was developed. Consumer Return studies have historically been focused on reverse logistics but in the last decade moved focus toward

This article uses Neil M. Denari’s HL23 condominium tower in West Chelsea, New York City, as the lens through which to focus on the architectural design pathway in discretionary reviews to negotiate architectural form and bulk restrictions. The argument states that creative architectural forms can appropriate an unorthodox site configuration in accord with planning objectives and that review proce

Adaptation is regarded as a panacea among policy circles. This paper offers a somewhat different perspective, using life narratives to investigate the conflictual nature of adaptation in and around vulnerable communities in Nepal and Maldives. Our analysis results in a framework with three dimensions: (1) qualitative differences in type of conflict; (2) the relative positions of the conflicting ac

The growing popularity and constant innovations of social media platforms and applications have transformed ways of interacting, working, creating value, and innovating. They have also provided researchers with treasure troves of new data ripe for theorizing. Here we elaborate upon grounded theory building from social media data by delving into key dimensions of the research process: case study de

Background: A palliative cancer diagnosis in a parent has a major impact on many aspects of their children’s lives. Studies show that professionals in the oncological field do not seem to offer relatives, in general, much attention. Aim: to explore how doctors and social workers handle children of cancer patients in order to understand the possibilities and difficulties in supporting children in s
