On-Bill Financing Programs to Support Low-Carbon Energy Technologies : An Agent-Oriented Assessment

On‐bill financing (OBF) schemes have been welcomed as innovative mechanisms for encouraging the adoption of low‐carbon energy technologies. Yet while the potential effects of these schemes have received growing attention, less is known about their actual performance. Departing from New Institutional Economics and insights from Behavioral Economics, this theory‐driven assessment examines the How$ma

Skapelsens musik - Luther och mystik

The article shows how Luther understood music as permeating everything in Creation, as God's gift, as donum, and as an invitation to praise and participation. For him, music and the love of Christ is expressed as loving embrace, inviting mutuality, participation, permeating life, in ways close to mysticism.

Constructing Authority in Times of Crisis : A Genre Analysis of Government Crisis Communication in China

Purpose: This study investigates how the Chinese government generates authority during a crisis through discursive practices expressed in social media. Design/methodology/approach: Using the theoretical framework of authority and the method of genre analysis, this study examined the top 100 forwarded posts on Weibo about a highprofile murder to determine the mechanisms involved in generating autho

Differences in attenuation pattern in myocardial SPECT between CZT and conventional gamma cameras

Background: In myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) soft-tissue attenuation by the abdomen, breasts, and lateral chest wall may create artifacts that mimic true perfusion defects. This may cause misdiagnosis of myocardial perfusion. The aim of the present study was to compare the localization, extent, and depth of attenuation artifacts in MPI SPECT for a mu

Identification and characterization of diverse coherences in the Fenna–Matthews–Olson complex

The idea that excitonic (electronic) coherences are of fundamental importance to natural photosynthesis gained popularity when slowly dephasing quantum beats (QBs) were observed in the two-dimensional electronic spectra of the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex at 77 K. These were assigned to superpositions of excitonic states, a controversial interpretation, as the strong chromophore–environment

Wideband Sparse Reconstruction for Scanning Radar

Recently, the generalized sparse iterative covariance-based estimation algorithm was extended to allow for varying norm constraints in scanning radar applications. In this paper, further to this development, we introduce a wideband dictionary framework which can provide a computationally efficient estimation of sparse signals. The technique is formed by initially introducing a coarse grid dictiona

The development and evaluation of a hydrological seasonal forecast system prototype for predicting spring flood volumes in Swedish rivers

Hydropower makes up nearly half of Sweden's electrical energy production. However, the distribution of the water resources is not aligned with demand, as most of the inflows to the reservoirs occur during the spring flood period. This means that carefully planned reservoir management is required to help redistribute water resources to ensure optimal production and accurate forecasts of the spring

Knee dGEMRIC at 7 T : Comparison against 1.5 T and evaluation of T1-mapping methods

Background: dGEMRIC (delayed Gadolinium Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Image of Cartilage) is a well-established technique for cartilage quality assessment in osteoarthritis at clinical field strengths. The method is robust, but requires injection of contrast agent and a cumbersome examination procedure. New non-contrast-agent-based techniques for cartilage quality assessment are currently being deve

Associations between the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and sleep parameters vary by age

Objective: To examine whether the relationship between the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and various sleep parameters [sleep duration, symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), and sleep disturbances] varies by age. Methods: Waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting glucose were used to determine MetS status in a cohort (N = 19,691) of mi

Impact of age and comorbidity on risk stratification in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

Recent reports from worldwide pulmonary hypertension registries show a new demographic picture for patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), with an increasing prevalence among the elderly. We aimed to investigate the effects of age and comorbidity on risk stratification and outcome of patients with incident IPAH. The study population (n=264) was categorised into four age gr

Inequalities in labour market consequences of common mental disorders

The burden of mental disorders continues to grow and is now a leading cause of disability worldwide. The prevalence of mental disorders is unequal between population subgroups, and these disorders are associated with unfavourable consequences in social and economic conditions, health and survival. However, how the negative effects of mental disorders are distributed among population subgroups is lThe burden of mental disorders continues to grow and is now a leading cause of disability worldwide.
