Methods: This is a comprehensive cost-of-illness study based on the baseline data from
Photoinitiated charge carrier dynamics in ZnO nanoparticles sensitized by CdSe quantum dots is studied using transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. The evolution of the transient spectra shows that electron injection occurs in a two-step process, where the formation of a charge transfer state (occurring in several picoseconds) is followed by its dissociation wi
The relative environmental impact from the building construction phase is increasing compared to the operation phase for new buildings. Therefore, it is important to consider the complete environmental life cycle of energy improvement measures. Many advanced optimization methods have been developed in recent years to assess building life cycle impact. However, these previous studies have not fully
Although a significant corpus of work focuses on the impact of search strategies on product innovations, we have a limited understanding of search strategies for process innovations, including the potential role of the industry environment. Process innovations are central to improving a firm’s productivity and contributing to efficiency and gross domestic product growth. As a result of the complex

In recent years the focus on indigenous peoples’ self-determination has been increasing. However, the debate on how to achieve this is rather divided. This study examines whether Slowey’s (2008) theoretical assumption, that market-inclusion leads to increased self-determination, holds in a different context. In the study, the theory is applied to indigenous peoples’ market-inclusion through intell
The expansion of large-scale wind energy projects in the name of climate change mitigation has led to numerous social conflicts in Oaxaca. The Mexican government has put forward environmental policies that envision 35% of the national electricity to be generated by renewable sources in 2024. The urgency to achieve these climate change goals has been used to favor corporate projects that have been
The conflict between humans and elephants (HEC) in Sri Lanka is severe. Due to habitat fragmentation and resource reduction elephants increasingly roam in areas with human settlements. These human-elephant interactions often lead to losses on both sides, which should be prevented. The Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) holds all decision-making powers which enables them to implement solutio
Despite the fast food industry’s significant contribution to climate change, climate action plans are not common practice. Furthermore, there is a lack of academic works devoted to researching climate change issues within the fast-food industry. This thesis project examined the Swedish fast food chain MAX Burgers’ involvement with climate responsibility. By applying an internal and external influe

Evidence suggests that BAME have unequal access to opportunities for career progression in the workplace and that upward mobil

There is no theory why and how human rights emerge, as well as there is no methodology how the idea could come through the process of development, then emerge as a human right in t
