Emissions of greenhouse gases in all sectors of society must reach near zero, in developed countries preferably by 2050, in order to reach climate policy objectives. Alternatives and strategies for the energy and transport sectors are relatively well understood but the basic industries are often overlooked, not least in sustainability transition and innovation system studies. The policy and techn
Packaging logistics is fundamental to the success of retail supply chains. Implementing systemwide change in this field is however complex. This paper introduces packaging logistics in retail supply chains and compares and contrasts the change processes in the introduction of plastic trays to retail food systems in the UK and Sweden.
Religious argumentation is sometimes supposed to be different from other kinds of argumentation. George Kennedy for example mentions a radical Christian rhetoric in which the message is proclaimed rather than argued, but in my study of Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians I have found deliberate argumentation. This argumentation can be analyzed with Toulmin’s model of argumentation. The warrants
Part of the justification for an integrated view of speech and gestures ( (( is their temporal coordination. Gestures generally coincide with or precede, but rarely follow lexical affiliate (McNeill, 1992). How synchrony impacts listeners remains less explored, despite potential relevance for video communication and virtual conversational agents. ERP studies suggest that temporal alignment affects
Most state-of-the-art natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) plants are triple-pressure reheat cycles with efficiencies close to 60%. However, with carbon capture and storage, the efficiency will be penalized by almost 10% units. To limit the energy consumption for a carbon capture NGCC plant, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is necessary. Utilizing EGR increases the CO2 content in the gas turbine
The study has shown that BIM is used extensively throughout the entire construction process, with clear benefits and optimizations. The broad usage of BIM shows that all areas have streamlined and become less costly. BIM is well established in the construction process with an exception for the facility management phase. The benefits in the facility management area are well studied but not introduc
Title: System Dynamics Perspective on the Business Model for Sustainability: A Multiple Case Study in the Architecture Industry Purpose: The primary purpose of the study is to explain how the system dynamics between the Value Configuration, Partner Network, and Capabilities work in a Business Model for Sustainability of small and large architecture firms. Methodology: We followed an abductive, q
Den 1 juli 2018 trädde den nya förvaltningslagen (2017:900) i kraft. I lagen ges enskilda, genom införandet av en dröjsmålstalan, för första gången i svensk förvaltningsrätt en generell rätt att föra talan mot förvaltningsmyndigheters passivitet. Om unionsrätten inte anger annat kommer den nya dröjsmålstalan, enligt principen om medlemsstaternas processuella autonomi, att tillämpas även vid förvalOn the first of July 2018, the new Swedish Administrative Procedure Act came into force. The Act introduces a new remedy against the inaction of administrative authorities (an action for failure to act, in Swedish “dröjsmålstalan”). Through the introduction of the new remedy, individuals are given a general right to appeal against the administrative authorities' inaction for the first time in
The enunciation of the principle of equality and non-discrimination is of fundamental source in international human rights laws and EU-law and has a prominent place in the Icelandic constitution. The principles of equality and non-discrimination are based on various legal concepts that have evolved mainly in international and regional human rights or equality jurisprudence. International legal pro
The proposed algorithm aims at helping diabetic patients which use multi-dose injection (MDI) therapy to determine the dose and time of insulin and glucose intakes to stabilize their blood glucose (BG) concentration. The objective is to spend most of the time in normal BG range (70-180 mg/dl). The control was done by minimizing the risk of hypo- and hyperglycemia over the doses and times of insuli
Wilms' tumor gene 1 (WT1) is a transcription factor involved in developmental processes. In adult hematopoiesis, only a small portion of early progenitor cells express WT1, whereas most leukemias show persistently high levels, suggesting an oncogenic role. We have previously characterized oncogenic BCR/ABL1 tyrosine kinase signaling pathways for increased WT1 expression. In this study, we show tha
The Siemens gas turbine SGT-800 has an annular combustor and 30 dry low emission burners. In order to further reduce the emission levels and to obtain improved understanding of the flow and associated flame dynamics, single burner rig tests have been performed. The laboratory measurements are complemented by Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to analyze the effect on the flame dynamics due to the transie
