Rent dricksvatten är en mänsklig rättighet, men trots detta förlitar sig många människor i världen fortfarande på osäkra system för sin försörjning. Detta är särskilt ett problem i landsbygdsområden, som har en tendens att hamna på efterkälken när större satsningar görs inom vattenområdet. Vår studie undersöker vattenförsörjningen på landsbygden i södra Brasilien, och diskuterar utmaningarna som fAccess to clean drinking water is a human right and a necessity for life, yet many rely on precarious water sources across the world. The United Nations outlines a great aspiration in Agenda 2030 - that safe and affordable drinking water should be available for all by 2030. In Rio Grande do Sul (RS) in Brazil, more than one million residents rely on small-scale water supply solutions without conve

The market uptake of solid-state lighting (SSL) is slow, even though it has many advantages and could deliver a variety of benefits to the society. The public sector is a large actor in the lighting market and could play an important role in accelerating SSL market penetration. Nevertheless, it faces many challenges to adopt SSL. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to provide a better

Människor spenderar mycket tid inomhus, närmre 90 % av sin livstid. För att erhålla ett bra inneklimat med god luftkvalité krävs att byggnader ventileras. Därför utrustas de ofta med mekaniska ventilationssystem. Trots detta är SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) ett allvarligt problem. Orsaken till att vissa byggnader blir ”sjuka” tros bero på bland annat dålig ventilation. För att avgöra om ett ventilaPeople spend a lot of time indoors, closer to 90% of their lifetime. To obtain a good indoor climate with good air quality buildings need to be ventilated. Therefore, they are often equipped with mechanical ventilation systems. Nevertheless, SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) is a serious problem. The reason that some buildings become "sick" is believed to be due to, among other things, poor v

Bostads- och servicesektorn utgör 40 procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Endast småhus står för drygt 8 procent. Energin som används i småhus går i huvudsak till uppvärmning och varmvatten. 2020 var direktverkande el den vanligaste energikällan för uppvärmning av småhus (Energimyndigheten 2022). Elpriset har stigit kraftigt under det senaste året. Detta kan eventuellt ha påverkan på boendThe building and service sector consume 40 percent of Sweden’s total energy use. Which of only single-family houses are responsible for 8 percent. The energy used in single family houses mainly goes to heating and hot water. 2020 the most common energy source for heating these buildings was electricity (Energimyndigheten 2022). The energy prices have increased heavily during the last year. This ma

Organic farming can benefit plants and butterflies in terms of species richness and abundance, in particular in homogeneous landscapes. Nevertheless, whether organic farming can benefit functional diversity of these two organism groups is not well understood. Organic farming could benefit functional diversity by counteracting simplification and homogenisation of biotic communities caused by earlie

Agriculture plays a crucial role in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, with organic farming being one important potential contributor to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. Despite a national goal of 20% organic agriculture, currently only 6.2% of Germany's farmland is organic, and conversion rates are slowing down. However, one bright spot is organic viticulture in Germany

Menstrual health is essential for people who menstruate to fully participate in daily life and social activities. It is also a fundamental human right that closely impacts the realization of other rights such as right to non-discrimination and education. In recent years, there has been increasing attention to menstrual health on both the international and national levels. However, significant barr

This paper will begin on the premise that international human rights law provides an efficient framework and a good forum to address issues of social and economic justice in a comprehensive and holistic manner, in the first place. Secondly, that this immense potential is under utilised because international and regional forums are inaccessible to the people whom they have been set up to protect. T

I dagens samhälle räcker det inte med en produkts relativa överlägsenhet för att garantera dess framgång på marknaden. Snabb ekonomisk utveckling och avancerad teknologi har lett till knivskarp konkurrens på den globala marknaden. Genom ökad marknadstransparens och avancerade kommunikationer underlättas tillgänglighet till information samt genomförande av gränöverskridande transaktioner. Det har bIn today’s society, the relative superiority of a product is not enough to guarantee its success on a marketplace. Rapid economic development rates and advancing technology has led to a more competitive global market. Increased accessibility to information and cross-border transactions is a result of market transparency and advanced communication techniques. Creating product imitations or very sim

Flexibility in construction and properties has become all the more common over the last years. Facilities are a resource and it is the facility provider’s job to provide functional and useful facilities to the core activity. To be able to satisfy the tenants needs, flexible facilities in a favorable is needed as the tenants area of business will with all probability change over the years. New inst

Urbanisation drives overall declines in insect pollinators. Although urban green spaces can provide suitable habitat for pollinators much remains to be learned about how urban landscapes either promote or negatively impact pollinators. We investigated how backyard design, local (100 m) and landscape (500 m) scale vegetation cover and human population density were associated with non-eusocial nativ

BACKGROUND/AIM: Cancer, one of the leading causes of mortality in the world, imposes a substantial economic burden on each society, including Serbia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the major cancer cost drivers in Serbia.METHODS: A retrospective, in-depth, bottom-up analysis of two combined databases was performed in order to quantify relevant costs. End-of-life data were obtained from pati

Both research and policy recognize land systems as fundamental to human life and activities. However, these two perspectives approach land from different ends and it can be difficult to see how studied variables contribute to broader policy goals. In this paper, we argue that there is a need to better select variables to study land systems as social-ecological systems, and to align research more w

The construction industry accounts for a large proportion of the world’s total anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, CO2 among others. As a part of the effort to combat this are environmental certifications which have become increasingly more numerous and more frequent in use. This is partly because consumers have become more environmentally aware and motivated to pay more for products and

At the same time cities have been acknowledged as agents of change when it comes to addressing these challenges. The urgency to address these problems has triggered cities to find smarter and innovative ways to deal with these challenges. C
