In the Swiss canton of Geneva, an energy efficiency portfolio has been operated since 2009. In contrast, such programs have been in place for more than 40 years in the US. There are numerous lessons to be learnt from their experience. We have therefore conducted a comparative analysis including Geneva and 11 leading states in the US, with the objective to identify explanatory factors for the succe

Heating systems must be subjected to hydraulic balancing in order to ensure proper operation. When the heating system is hydraulically imbalanced, heat is unevenly distributed across dwellings resulting in a large temperature spread, overheating, and consequently, waste of energy. In this study, we investigate the extent to which hydraulic imbalance affects the thermal energy consumption in buildi

The final day of the conference opened with Albin Thörn Cleland’s presentation, “Hidden Choral Stimuli: The Role of Accent in Aristophanes’ Refrains”. His paper examined the interplay of pitch accent, metre and musical melody across metrically identical refrains in pre-Hellenistic Ancient Greek lyric poetry, an aspect that has long remained relatively obscure and misunderstood. Building on Conser

A thorough understanding of the longitudinal phase space (LPS) of the electron beam is of great advantage to any modern linear accelerator (linac), and of critical importance for operating a free electron laser (FEL). While a transverse deflecting structure (TDS) allows full characterization of a beam’s LPS, measurements with a TDS system are often destructive and operationally complex.

Bakgrund: En positiv förlossningsupplevelse är målet för hela vårdkedjan under graviditet, födsel och eftervård. WHO betonar vikten av en positiv förlossningsupplevelse och inte endast mor och barns säkerhet. Trots detta upplever fortfarande många kvinnor sin förlossning som negativ. Barnmorskan handlägger den normala förlossningen självständigt och ska i samband med detta ge den födande kvinnan s

Olof Risberg skriver om undersökningen som metod och möjligt verktyg för makt över arbetsplatsen. I den historiska exposén Att undersöka (biblioteks)arbete sätts tayloristiska undersökningar av fabriksarbete i relation till militanta undersökningar och bibliotekarieskråets ansträngningar för att förstå och ta kontroll över sitt arbete.

Birger Sjöberg arbetade under 1926 på en plan, Drömmeriidkarna, som var ett förstadium till Kriser och kransar (1926) Grundvalen för rekonstruktionen av denna plan är manuskript i Sjöberg-arkivet vid Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek. Rekonstruktionen är en kommenterad, textkritisk utgåva.

Epoxide hydrolases are essential enzymes that convert epoxides into 1,2-diols, contributing to detoxification, metabolism, and signaling in a wide range of organisms. In this study, we employed hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations to investigate the catalytic mechanism of potato epoxide hydrolase 1 (StEH1), specifically focusing on the hydrolysis of trans-stilbene oxid

Quantum refinement (QR) is an approach in which the empirical restraints used in standard structural refinement to ensure that the details of the structure, e.g. bond lengths and angles, make chemical sense are replaced by more accurate quantum mechanical calculations for a small but interesting part of the structure. QR has previously been used for X-ray and neutron crystallography, cryogenic e

While the so-called “audiobook boom” has yet to reach academic publishing, thegrowing number of students with print disabilities entering higher education isprompting an increase of academic reading materials in audio formats, such asaudiobooks and text-to-speech software. Despite this, little research exists on students’actual use of audiobooks and text-to-speech in their studies, especially amon

Background: Heart diseases are among the leading causes of disease burden worldwide with often a large impact on the lives of the affected individuals. The association between heart disease and depression is well-known and elevated suicide risk has been demonstrated in several types of heart disease. The aim of this study was to investigate what health care contacts individuals with heart disease

This thesis develops and evaluates a Random Forest (RF) machine learning classification framework for detecting clear-cut forest felling events using Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite data. While RF classification is widely applied in forest monitoring, its performance for operational clear-cut detection in Latvian semi-boreal forests remains insufficiently studied. This study aims to assess the

Public procurement has the potential to serve as a strategic driver for circular economy implementation and urban sustainability transitions. Purpose: This study explores how municipalities incorporate circular requirements into construction project procurement processes. The aim is to identify practical strategies that support circular implementation in construction projects. Methodology: Using a
