Extended producer responsibility for lamps in Nordic countries: best practices and challenges in closing material loops

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes are adopted not only to promote collection and recycling of waste products but also to close material loops and incentivise ecodesign. These outcomes are also part of creating a more circular economy. Evaluations of best practices can inform how to further optimise systems towards more ambitious collection, recycling and recovery of both hazardous and

Test of three different audio-haptic navigation tools

The present paper presents a continuation of the work on navigational tools studied in two pilot tests [1], [2]. To further test the tools most popular in these pilot tests, as well as investigate possible influences on the spatial perception by different

Eye Tapping: How to Beat Out an Accurate Rhythm using Eye Movements

Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of this study was to investigate how well subjects beat out a rhythm using eye movements and to establish the most accurate method of doing this. Eighteen subjects participated in an experiment were five different methods were evaluated and a fixation based method was found to be the most accurate. All subjects were able to synchronize their eye movements with a giv

Behind the counter. Female inroads, obstacles and careers in the Swedish commercial bank sector, 1885-1937.

This study investigates the feminisation of the Swedish commercial bank sector between 1885 and 1937, during which time the female labour share increased from 10 to 27 per cent. More specifically, it is examined why the banks hired women, and why they did not hire women to an even greater extent. The study employs a queue-theoretical framework, and a micro-level panel database constructed from the

Electromagnetic wave propagation in dispersive and complex material with time domain techniques

In this paper a time domain formulation of the first and second precursor in a dispersive materials is reviewed. These precursors are determined by the susceptibility kernel of the medium, which characterizes the medium in a time domain formulation. The propagator operators of the fields are corner stones in the formulation. These operators are then approximated by a pertinent factorization procedur

The neo-liberal turn in education policy: Teacher licensing and the status of teachers as pedagogic experts

The teacher license has been introduced at a time when the content and institutional framing of teacher education and the conditions of the teaching profession have changed radically. New forms of political, administrative and financial control have changed the governing and staffing of schools. By analysing recent school policy we show how a neoliberal logic concerning a free school market was do
