Following the 2008–2009 global financial crisis, ‘green energy economy’ packages have been implemented to stimulate sustainable economic growth in several Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Clearly focused on the energy sector, these packages typically include energy-efficiency policy measures and aim to encourage the transition towards a low-carbon economy. W

The Energy using products (EuP) directive proposed by the European Commission is often referred to as "the first Integrated Product Policy (IPP) directive". The main purpose of the directive is to ensure the free movement of EuP in the internal market as well as to improve the environmental performance of products throughout their life cycle. Product groups likely to be addressed through the direc

Abstract in Danish Kapitlet sætter fokus på, hvordan sygeplejestuderende kan udvikle professionelle kompetencer i den kliniske del af sygeplejerskeuddannelsen. Indledningsvis reflekteres over kompetencebegrebet knyttet til professionsbacheloruddannelsen, og begrebet læring defineres som henholdsvis erhvervelse og deltagelse. Erhvervelse som læringstilgang er den mest dominerende forståelse af læri

Information technology is a vital driver in today’s business environment. Recent developments of IT have facilitated for the relatively easy creation of markets on the Internet, so called B2B-marketplaces. However, judging from the survival rate of B2B-marketplaces (5 to 10 per cent), it seems like B2B-marketplaces are doing something wrong. This paper scrutinises several theoretical frameworks re

Trafikbullers inverkan på sömnen har undersökts medelst EEG-, EOG- och EMG-registreringar på sju unga män (21-27 år) och sex äldre män (63-74 år) i deras vanliga hemmiljö längs hårt trafikerade vägar (trafikintensitet cirka 450 fordonspassager med toppbullernivå överstigande 40 dB (A) per natt). Effekten av dämpning (cirka 10 dB (A)) av inomhusbullret genom montering av ljudisolerande plattor i fö

Although the research on the design of heterogeneous concurrent systems has a long and rich history, a unified design methodology and tool support have not emerged so far. Therefore, the creation of such systems remains a difficult, time-consuming and error-prone process. The absence of principled support for system evaluation and optimization at high level of abstraction makes the quality of the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroniskt obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) är en allvarlig folksjukdom vars huvudsakliga orsak är tobaksrökning. Det är den enda av de viktigaste dödsorsakerna som ökar och år 2020 beräknas KOL utgöra den 4:e vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen. Flera studier har försökt att bestämma förekomsten (prevalensen) av KOL i befolkningen men tyvärr har de oftast använt olika metoder oBackground – Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, there is little information on the prevalence and particularly on the incidence of COPD. Also, apart from the importance of tobacco smoking and a1-antitrypsin deficiency, information on contributing risk factors for the development of COPD is limited. Hypotheses – 1. Spi
