The concept of Eco-city and the means of public participation in urban planning are receiving more and more attention in global urbanization and environmental discourse. However in China, comparing to the eco-city fever, public participation is ignored at a great extent. This thesis will explore public participation (and lack thereof) in eco-city planning in China by introducing the example of Tan
Background: We are today doing business in a global and increasingly digitalized world where e-commerce has become a significant approach for companies to be successful and to reach a bigger market. Alibaba Group is today considered to be the world’s largest e-commerce company and was founded in 1999 by Jack Ma, a former English teacher from Hangzhou, China. The company’s mission is to make it eas
In the light of the financial crisis of 2008, risk management has become one of the most important topics in the financial world. This study applies five different VaR approaches, normal distribution, student’s t distribution, historical simulation, age weighted historical simulation and volatility weighted historical simulation under three different sample windows. These parametric, non-parametri
This essay analyses the role of the KGB, the Soviet state security and political police, in suppressing large workers’ protests in Novocherkassk in early June 1962. The aim is not only to study the actions of the KGB during the crisis itself, but to show how events in Novocherkassk and the subsequent brutal punishment of their main actors contributed to the subsequent change in the overall charact
This handbook brings together a collection of seminal research on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and investigates the effectiveness of the 17 goals for achieving transformative change toward sustainable development.As a collection of inter- and transdisciplinary research from around the world, this volume explores the applications, implications, and best practices of the goals at thematiWhen the world committed to end poverty and hunger as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the promise to “leave no one behind” was recognized as both an ethical responsibility and a key criteria for success. How can we make sure that such a promise becomes a reality, and what challenges lie ahead? This chapter aims to address these issues by focusing on parts of the world that, despi
Aim: Allometric relationships, which describe plant growth patterns shaped by environmental conditions, reflect functional trade-offs and represent key functional traits that optimise adaptation, resource acquisition, stress tolerance and competition. Here, we assess how these allometric relationships and associated functional trade-offs drive ecosystem structure, functioning and competitive inter
This paper presents a joint experimental and large eddy simulation (LES) study of lean premixed low swirl stabilized methane/air flames at different Reynolds numbers (Re similar to 20,000-100,000). The aims are to investigate the sensitivity of the structures and dynamics of low swirl flames to the inflow boundary conditions and to evaluate the capability of an LES flamelet model in predicting the
This study compares the life-cycle costs of various conventional and emerging cooling systems in representative European climates and energy markets. Firstly, cooling demands and energy requirements of a multi-story office building are determined in compliance with local building codes in six different European locations. Life-cycle costs of various cooling systems are then calculated using locati
OBJECTIVE: Haemostatic imbalance may be an aetiological factor in the development of acute coronary syndromes. Inherited resistance to activated protein C (APC) is a common disorder associated with hypercoagulability and lifelong risk of venous thrombosis. APC resistance is due to a single mutation in the gene coding for coagulation factor V (FV:Q506). To test the importance of the FV:Q506 mutatio
A quite common view is that the scientific persona matters less in contemporary Western knowledge societies. Large research groups produce new scientific discoveries gathered around impersonal expert system. However, it is also well known that scientific cultures differ widely. In physics, the projects are quite impersonal, sometimes including thousands of persons. The prime example is the CERN or
Aims: To use a qualitative research study to analyze the experiences of patients with nonspecific chronic orofacial pain with respect to consultations for their pain condition. Methods: Fourteen patients (11 women and 3 men; age range, 21 to 77 years) were strategically selected through a purposive sampling of the chronic orofacial pain patients referred to the Orofacial Pain Unit at the Faculty o
Background. School health programs need to target all aspects of physical, psychological, and social well-being. Using a slightly modified version of the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist, we developed and conducted the first validation of the School Health Assessment Tool for Primary Schools (SHAT-PS). Method. The exploratory sequential mixed method was used in this study. In the first phase, scienti
In this release note we describe the 1.2 update to NLOX, a computer program for calculations in high-energy particle physics. New features since the 1.0 release and other changes are described, along with usage documentation. New version program summary: Program title: NLOX Developer's repository link: http://www.hep.fsu.edu/~nlox Licensing provisions: CC BY NC 3.0 Programming language: C++. Fortr
Introduction It has been known for centuries that environment in healthcare has an impact, but despite this, environment has been overshadowed by technological and medical progress, especially in intensive care. Evidence-based design is a concept concerning integrating knowledge from various research disciplines and its application to healing environments. Objective The aim was to explore the expe
Avskiljning, transport och lagring av koldioxid (CCS) är en intressant teknologi med förmågan att minska klimatpåverkande utsläpp inom industrisektorn. Denna teknik framhävs regelbundet på både internationell och nationell nivå som ett nyckelbidrag i kampen mot klimatförändringarna, bland annat förespråkas CCS-teknikens nödvändighet av både EU och IPCC. Användningen av CCS har även uppmärksammats Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an interesting technology with the ability to reduce carbon dioxide emissions within the industry sector. It is constantly highlighted within the international community as a vital tool in the fight against climate change. Some of those who strongly advocate for the use of CCS include the EU and the IPCC. This technology has also been deemed useful by Swedish au

Uppsatsen belyser jämställdhets- och genusarbete på några svenska förskolor. I studiens centrum står tre fokusområden, vilka även format huvudfrågeställningen: Hur ser verk-samhetsansvariga på tre olika förskolor i Skåne på könsneutralitet, normkritik och genuspedagogik i den egna verksamheten? Val av fokusområden beror på deras aktuella ställning i jämställdhetsfrågor inom förskolan. För att besv
In this essay I analyze the exhibition ”Peoples of the earth”. In order to do this I have asked questions that look into the intentions of the exhibition, the experience of the visitor and the future changes that the ethnographic department is working towards. The methodology used to study these questions are my own experiences from the exhibition, an interview with museum curator Mille Gabrie
