The concept of coordination sphere (CS) is central to the rational development of hierarchical molecular assemblies in modern chemistry. Manipulating the organization around transition metal ions with covalent and supramolecular interactions is a general strategy that underlies most synthetic protocols. Achieving similar control for photoex
Hydroacoustic and optical remote sensing have been commonly used to map shallow nearshore benthic features. However, the number, type, scale, and accuracy of the mapping products that can be obtained from the two sensors differ; as such, there can be limited agreement between their mapping products. These differences can be further accentua
Bostäder står för ca 23% av all energianvändning i Sverige. Om målet netto-nollkoldioxidutsläpp 2045 ska nås är det därför troligt att energibesparande åtgärderför bostäder kommer behövas. Många av de befintliga byggnaderna är runt 50 åreller äldre och är således i behov av modernisering. Samtidigt ökarurbaniseringstakten, därför finns det och kommer även framöver finnas behov avfler bostäder. EneIn Sweden, housing accounts for about 23% of all energy consumption. Sweden wants to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2045; as such, it is likely that energy-saving measures for housing will be needed. Many existing buildings have been in operation for 50 years or more and are therefore in need of modernisation. At the same time, the population is increasing and so is the rate of urbanisation, w
Purpose: Hospital construction projects often suffer from relatively late changes in the project lifecycle, which disrupt the project execution and impact project productivity. The purpose of this paper is to explore the root causes of changes in hospital construction projects. The paper aims to propose ways to prepare for the changes. Design/methodology/approach: The study focuses on changes duri
Pedestrian dynamics is concerned with understanding the movement patterns that arise in places where more than one person walks. Relating theoretical models to data is a crucial goal of research in this field. Statistical model fitting and model selection are a suitable approach to this problem and here we review the concepts and literature related to this methodology in the context of pedestrian
This paper provides an overview of Subtask B: Tools and methods for solar design, of IEA SHC Task 41: Solar energy and architecture, 2009-2012. The focus of this Subtask was on identifying obstacles that architects are facing when implementing passive and active solar strategies in their design, especially during the early design phase (EDP) of building projects. The results of this Subtask also a
Människans reflektioner över etiska frågeställningar befinner sig i spänningen mellan att formulera vad som är allmänmänskligt och vad som kan betraktas som särskiljande för olika individer och grupper av människor. Hur ska vi leva tillsammans? Och vad är ett gott samhälle? Det som ska vara gemensamt och gränserna för olikhet måste (åter)erövras i varje tid. Och i varje tid samsas ”eviga” etiska s
A method is presented for assessing daylighting quality based on metrics related to illuminance, distribution, glare and directivity. The calculations are done using the programs RADIANCE and DAYSIM for a south-west and a north-west oriented offices in the CDP building in Montreal (latitude 45° 30'N). The results indicate that the following set of metrics is the most useful for assessing the dayli
This article presents the results of a study where the effect of five window glazing types on daylight quality was investigated using a scale model (1:6) of a room with a single, south east-oriented window exposed to the natural sky. The space studied simulated a typical, fully furnished living room. A total of 30 research subjects took part in the experiment, observed the room and filled question
The impact of seven shading devices on daylight quality in a south-oriented office was investigated by simulations with Radiance at three specific times on three sunny days. Daylight quality was assessed for a large number of desk positions by considering simple performance indicators: the absolute and relative work plane illuminance and the absolute and relative luminance of surfaces. The results
What has previously been referred to as terrorism or ideologically motivated crime in Sweden has recently increasingly been referred to as violence-affirming extremism. The new language use implies an expansion of the focus from actual violence use to including also those groups and ideologies that affirm the use of violence to fulfill political goals. The significant changes in the new language u
