We examine how building and appliance technologies relate to their use by occupants through practices at home and at work. The aim is to analyse how practices are influenced by buildings and other technologies and by social requirements and to add to ongoing research on how to contribute to a transition to more sustainable everyday practices. Interview, quantitative and observational material are

Att studera den ekonomiska utvecklingen i det globala syd ur ett långsiktigt perspektiv blir allt viktigare i en samtid av globalisering, integration och konvergens. Detta har relevans för både det globala nord och de akademiska organisationer i Afrika, Asien och Latinamerika som vuxit fram och håller på att utvecklas.The study of economic development in the Global South from a long-term perspective is of increasing importance in the current era of globalization, integration and convergence. This applies both in the Global North and for the growing academic communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Type 1 diabetes is a complex disease characterized by the lack of endogenous insulin secreted from the pancreatic β-cells. Although β-cell targeted autoimmune processes and β-cell dysfunction are known to occur in type 1 diabetes, a complete understanding of the cell-to-cell interactions that support pancreatic function is still lacking. To characterize the pancreatic endocrine compartment, we stu

Today, as our cities are becoming increasingly dense - the role of internal spaces are rising as ever-more important in defining urbanity. And in a moment in which our private lives have become exposed and controlled in almost every aspect, the interior has become the eminent space of refuge, providing anonymity and freedom. In Is the New Out offers a radical reexamination of the interior as the l

Recent literature has highlighted the creation of multiple equivalences as an important factor underpinning the rise of market-based mechanisms for environmental regulation. Extending these insights into the field of renewable energy policy, this article focuses on one example of this trend – namely the principle of technology neutrality as applied under the Flemish tradable green certificate sche

When there is more renewable gas being produced, and exported to the natural gas grid, there is a new situation for the grid operators which, in extension, creates new circumstances with respect to measuring and ensuring the gas quality on the grid. The renewable gas is today mainly produced by anaerobic digestion, but near-term future sources may be methane from thermochemical conversion of ligno

This paper investigates the impact of the completion of the liberalized European Internal Electricity Market on Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) and Demand-Side Management (DSM). The results presented are part of the outcomes of a study analyzing the possibilities of IRP and DSM in this new industry environment. The study, finished in May 2000, is based on empirical surveys of both the present a

If you really want to know how much Australia contributes to the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere, you have to study all the “sources” and “sinks”.Sources release CO₂ into the atmosphere, while sinks take it out. There are sources from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, and there are natural sinks such as plants absorbing CO₂. You can tally it all up on a balance sheet
