Residential energy consumption remains a significant driver of CO2 emissions in European buildings, demanding urgent action in the face of the climate crisis. While prevailing efforts have predominantly concentrated on enhancing energy efficiency and integrating renewable sources, addressing the climate urgency and resource constraints necessitates a paradigm shift towards sufficiency principles.

In March of 2017, artist, field recordist, soundwalk leader and artistic researcher Jacek Smolicki invited me to the Detroit Gallery to join him and artist/illustrator Jenny Soep in a project employing different modes of transposition. Smolicki and Soep wanted to explore how materials transformed when transposed through different mediums. First, Jacek Smolicki collected 31 short field recordings.

Ghost Installation Långholmsgatan is one of several "Ghost Installation" compositions in the project. This Ghost Installation was an early prototype for using Rpi machines to drive an entire work. It was also when I decided not to put the speakers in enclosures, both for sonic and aesthetic reasons, as well as to make sure it was not mistaken for anything other than a group of speakers, since my

Nuclear containment structures employ a leak-tight steel liner to avoid any unwanted particle release into the exterior environment. The steel liner can be embedded in concrete which creates large continuous areas where the steel plate is in direct contact with surrounding concrete. The impact of the aging of concrete structures due to the presence of structural discontinuities, such as the presen

Drawing from the rich literature in behavioural finance and extensive analysis of forum data from a UK equity crowdfunding platform, we present a comprehensive framework that delineates the investment decision-making process of equity crowdfunders. Our framework captures the utilitarian, emotional, and expressive investment motives that drive crowdfunders, their behaviours and actions during and a

The second issue of the yearbook History of Intellectual Culture (HIC) dedicates a thematic section to modes of publication. This volume addresses recent advances in publication studies and stresses the cultural formation of knowledge. By exploring and analyzing layers of presenting, sharing, and circulating knowledge, we invite readers to critically engage with questions of media uses and publish

We study how childhood neighborhood SES affects cause-specific health in adulthood. By using geocoded longitudinal microdata for the city of Landskrona, 1939-1967, linked to Swedish national registers, 1968-2015, we apply a life-course of place approach to measure cumulative neighborhood conditions. From 1939 to 1967, the whole population is geocoded at the address-level, and we observe their fullWe study how childhood neighborhood SES affects cause-specific health in adulthood.

BACKGROUND: Globally, the number of small-scale miners (SSM) is estimated to be more than 25 million, but it supports the livelihoods of around 100 million individuals. In Tanzania, the number of SSM has increased from an estimated 150,000 in 1987 to ~1.5 million in 2017. The miners are at a high risk of occupational-related health challenges. The study aimed to assess the concentrations of respir

BACKGROUND: Even though trust is placed at the central point in ensuring proper functioning of the health systems, studies remain scant on how it affects both the implementation and uptake of COVID-19 response measures in low- and middle-income countries such as Tanzania. This study, therefore, explored the role of trust in the implementation and uptake of recommended COVID-19 response measures in

This thesis is about equity crowdfunding (ECF), and the crowd that makes its existence possible. ECF is a financing method for start-ups and firms that need equity capital to grow their businesses. During an “equity crowdfunding campaign”, entrepreneurs raise funds from a diverse crowd on an online platform, offering shares in return.While the existing ECF literature primarily focuses on entrepren

Artikeln ger en översikt av den svenska receptionen av Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre (1847) och hur romanen har översatts till svenska från den första (indirekta) översättningen 1850 fram till vår tid. Förlagshistoriska, såväl som översättningsanalytiska och receptionskritiska aspekter beaktas.This article (in Swedish) outlines and discusses the Swedish reception of Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre (1847) with a particular focus on the translation of the novel into Swedish. The first (indirect) Swedish translation appeared in 1850, and the novel has since been translated several times.

The determinants of fire-driven changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) across broad environmental gradients remains unclear, especially in global drylands. Here we combined datasets and field sampling of fire-manipulation experiments to evaluate where and why fire changes SOC and compared our statistical model to simulations from ecosystem models. Drier ecosystems experienced larger relative changes
