The concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has been underpining recycling/waste/product policy of a number of countries over the past two decades. However, it is considered that the understanding of the concept varies. This presents the findings from a survey conducted in Japan in 2013 to find out the actual perceptions of various stakeholders in Japan. It is part of a global survey con

”The economy as instituted process” från 1957 torde vara den näst mest kända texten av Karl Polanyi (1886–1964) efter hans huvudarbete Den stora omdaningen från 1944. Här reder han ut skillnaden mellan ekonomibegreppets två innebörder av ekonomi som människors faktiska, substantiella utbyte med naturen och varandra och ekonomi som ett formaliserat tankesystem för rationell optimering. Polanyi argu

Vilken roll spelar de arbetslösa sjukskrivna? Är de arbetslösa, arbetssökande eller sjuka? I uppsatsen diskuteras rollsociologi, arbetslöshet och sjukskrivning, samt vilken roll arbetslösa sjukskrivna identifierar sig med.

Purpose: To describe congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) with negative electroretinogram, hypoplastic discs, nystagmus and thinning of the inner nuclear layer (INL). Methods: Retinal structure was analyzed qualitatively with spectral domain optical coherence tomography and wide field imaging. Retinal function was evaluated with full-field electroretinography (ffERG). Molecular genetic tes

We demonstrate direct visualization of melting mapping of DNA stretched in nanoscale channels[1] using standard staining methods and epifluorescence microscopy to gain information on the local AT/GC ratio along large DNA molecules. Our development opens up a novel route to mapping of large-scale genomic variations.

This article examines the novel and film, Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise, by the Franco-Chinese writer and filmmaker Dai Sijie, the story of which takes place against the background of the Cultural Revolution. The first part of my analysis will make clear how the film illuminates and dramatizes the special texture, aesthetic, and structure of the novel. I then move on to investigate the li

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to enhance the heat transfer and thermal performance in the trailing edge region of the vane with vortex generators (VGs). Design/methodology/approach: This numerical study presents the enhancement of thermal performance in the trailing part of a gas turbine blade. In the trailing part, generally, pin fins are used either in staggered or in-line arrangements t

Model tests have shown that by building a shallow dam at the outlet the discharge from the upper reservoir can be distributed over such a large width that the kinetic energy is dissipated before the flow reaches levels deeper than 10 m. Since the summer thermocline is situated at 15 m and the epilimnion is homothermal the discharge does not affect the thermal stratification of the lake during the
