Emergency responders at the local community level are the prime actors concerning emergency management. It has been claimed that information systems have considerable potential to support emergency management. However, development of such systems is demanding, due to the complexity of emergency management. The ability to be able to reveal the stakeholders' needs for support are essential for succe
Following the idea originally proposed during the ESO-Workshop The Very Large Telescope in 2030, the concept of a high resolution spectrograph for the VLT has been further explored, both for the science and technological aspects. Such an instrument will fill a gap in capabilities amongst the landscape of future instrumentation planned for the next decade. Its key characteristic will be high spectr
To give the latest novel by Joyce Carol Oates a book binding design identical with one used for a novel by for instance Orhan Pamuk would be unthinkable in today’s book market. What I like to call the title specific book binding, or book cover – that is a binding or cover designed for a specific title – is something we take for granted to such an extent that we hardly even reflect over the phenome
Abstract in UndeterminedA more or less continuous process of structural change, not least due to a globalizing economy, poses a number of challenges to regions and local communities. However, when firms or whole industries are phasing out, windows of opportunity open up. Empirical analyses of two recent plant closures in Skane point at the importance of retaining existing knowledge bases, and at t
The Augustan poet Ovid (43 BC – AD 17/18) is mentioned by Seneca the elder for his oratorical skills as a school boy. If we are to believe Seneca, Ovid excelled to such a degree that he even surpassed his teachers. He took special interest in exercises concerning ethos, and is said to have transferred what he learned into his own verse. The influence from rhetorical training is indeed visible in O
Based on a survey of waste sorting behaviours and perceptions of residents in southern Sweden, we analyse how convenience provided to citizens, among various other factors, may affect the actual waste sorting activities.
An ethopoeia is an imagined speech assigned to a certain character. As a rhetorical exercise it is known from the progymnasmata of Theon, Hermogenes, Aphthonius and Nicolaus as well as contemporary rhetorical theorists. The purpose of the exercise was to teach the student the appropriate use of ethos and pathos for the assigned character. The paper will present the function of the ethopoeia as a p
Purpose To explore what theoretical lenses have been used to analyze and understand information sharing in supply chains. We elaborate on the predominant theories and discuss how they can be used to research different aspects of information sharing. Design/methodology/approach We carried out a structured literature review by using a combination of selected keywords to search for peer-reviewed art
This study set out to examine why agricultural production in differing agro-ecological zones of the same country responds differently to a common environmental event (an extension of the rainy season). We find that the heavy reliance of farmers in the drier agro-ecological zones on seasonal cycles make them more vulnerable to an extension of the rainy season than those in regions where rainfall is
The conference series European Conference on Scientific Publishing in Biomedicine and Medicine (ECSP) was originated at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Sweden and was for the first time launched in Lund in 2006. The mission to be highly relevant for researchers was retained at the second meeting, hosted by University of Oslo, Library of Medicine and Health Sciences. The meeting focused o
