While sharing good teaching practice is at the core of most academic developers’ professional roles, little systematic evidence has been collected on this topic so far. This paper investigates if, how and for what specific purposes academic developers collect and share teaching artefacts. We report on an exploratory, survey-based study among academic developers from around the world. Our findings

Utsläpp av lustgas från avloppsreningsverk (ARV) utgör en betydande klimatpåverkan och är starkt kopplade till utökad biologisk kväveavskiljning. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att analysera sambanden mellan processparametrar och lustgasutsläpp vid Klagshamns av-loppsreningsverk samt att undersöka hur datadriven modellering kan användas som stöd för driftoptimering. Inledningsvis genomfördes en

Rå biogas är varm, mättad med vatten och innehåller små mängder av korrosiva spårämnen när den lämnar rötkammaren. I detta skick kan gasen inte levereras till uppgraderingsenheten som tar bort koldioxid, vattenånga och andra föroreningar för att leverera biometan som uppfyller fastställda kvalitetskrav. Den höga fuktigheten kombinerat med reaktiva ämnen leder till okontrollerad kondensation och koRaw biogas leaving an anaerobic digester is warm, saturated with water vapor, and contains small amounts of corrosive trace compounds. In this state, the gas cannot be fed directly to an upgrading system, where carbon dioxide, water vapor and other contaminants are removed to produce biomethane that meets a predefined quality. High humidity combined with reactive species promotes uncontrolled cond

Wildfire management is a complex sociotechnical system where enterprise and strategic level decisions significantly impact operational safety. This research explores iterating Rasmussen’s AcciMap through participatory co-design to enhance sensemaking and systems thinking in the U.S. Forest Service. An evolving series of AcciMap-inspired visualizations made from the Eicks Fire Organizational Report

Titel: Sångkartan Ämne/område: Hur fungerar sångkartan som redskap i arbetet med klassisk repertoar för sångare? Sångkartan är ett verktyg för att arbeta med instudering av ett vokalt parti, baserad på metoder från Stanislavskijs teatertekniker. Tillvägagångssätt: Jag försöker använda sångkartan på samma sätt som jag gjort under min musikalteaterutbilning, fast nu i min klassiska sångutbildning däTitle: The Songchart The topic of this study: How can the song chart be used as a tool in singers’ work with classical repertoire? The Songchart is a tool to use in the work with interpretation with a vocal part, based on methods by Stanislavsky’s theatre techniques. The methods I used were: I try to use the song chart in the same way as I did during my muscial theatre studies, though now in my cl

India's buildings sector accounts for 41% of national electricity consumption, yet studies incorporating calibrated whole-building energy simulation with thermal comfort evaluation of manufacturing facilities to reduce the industry’s electricity consumption remain scarce, leaving designers without evidence to prioritise passive strategies for this building typology. This study characterises th

While accessibility in building design is now a widely adopted principle with the industry increasingly adopting inclusive practices, its integration into evacuation provisions remains limited and inconsistently applied across the world. This study examines gaps in evacuation design practices affecting occupants with disabilities through a comparative review of ten building codes and standards, su

Deaf and hard of hearing individuals encounter distinct barriers during building fire evacuations, yet empirical evidence on their evacuation behaviour remains largely absent from the Human Behaviour in Fire literature. This study addresses this gap through a mixed methods approach combining an unannounced evacuation drill conducted at an institution for deaf individuals (N = 21) with semi structu

Nya miljö- och hälsohotet - Däckpartiklar Under de senaste åren har miljöfrågan blivit en alltmer närvarande del av våra liv, under samtal med kollegor, på morgonnyheterna eller längs de trafikerade vägarna hör vi ständigt denna fråga. Diskussionerna kretsar oftast kring avgasföroreningar och dess påverkan på vårt klimat. Samtidigt finns det betydligt mindre uppmärksammade orsaker till föroreningIn recent years, tyre wear particles (TWPs) have been included in the discussions regarding air pollution, which is a growing global concern. Although exhaust emissions have been extensively studied and are being reformed towards better alternatives, there is still a wide knowledge gap regarding non-exhaust emissions such as TWPs. Most studies regarding TWPs focus on microplastics environmental co

Dubbdäckens nanopartiklar – en dold hälsorisk? När de allra flesta människor tänker på trafikutsläpp tänker de nog oftast på de avgaser som bilar släpper ut som bidrar till bland annat växthuseffekten. Men faktum är att även slitage av däck och dubbdäck släpper ut stora mängder mikroskopiska partiklar, även kallade nanopartiklar. Dessa nanopartiklar kan bestå av både gummi från däcken och metallerIt is a known fact that traffic emissions are an environmental hazard. The nanoparticles (NPs) released from traffic emissions are composed of both plastics and rubber materials from the breakdown of tyres, so-called tyre wear particles, as well as metallics such as tungsten carbide (WC) and tungsten carbide cobalt (WC-Co) from the wear of studded tyres. Although research regarding the environment

In recent years, application of ensemble models has been increased tremendously in various types of natural hazard assessment such as landslides and floods. However, application of this kind of robust models in groundwater potential mapping is relatively new. This study applied four data mining algorithms including AdaBoost, Bagging, generalized additive model (GAM), and Naive Bayes (NB) models to

Sustainable water resources management in arid and semi-arid areas needs robust models, which allow accurate and reliable predictive modeling. This issue has motivated the researchers to develop hybrid models that offer solutions on modelling problems and accurate predictions of groundwater potential zonation. For this purpose, this research aims to investigate the capability and robustness of a n

Groundwater resources are facing a high pressure due to drought and overexploitation. The main aim of this research is to apply rotation forest (RTF) with decision trees as base classifiers and an improved ensemble methodology based on evidential belief function and tree-based models (EBFTM) for preparing groundwater potential maps (GPM). The performance of these new models is then compared with t

As demand for fresh groundwater in the worldwide is increasing, delineation of groundwater spring potential zones become an increasingly important tool for implementing a successful groundwater determination, protection, and management programs. Therefore, the objective of current study is to evaluate the capability of three machine learning models such as boosted regression tree (BRT), classifica

Frequent and accurate measurements of inland Water Surface Elevation (WSE) are essential for effective water resource management. However, single-mission satellite altimetry often lacks the temporal resolution needed to capture detailed WSE changes. While multi-mission integration can improve temporal coverage, it is hindered by inter- and intra-mission biases arising from variations in sensor des

Inland surface waters are vital for the global carbon, energy, and water cycles; however, they are affected by climate change and human activities. Continuous monitoring of Water Surface Elevation (WSE) is essential for assessing water quantity and ensuring sustainable management. Traditional in-situ WSE measurements often face high costs and accessibility challenges. This study examines the use o

This paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries. I find that switching to tacit consent-based legislation reduces fertility by about 4% relative to the mean. This effect is driven by a decrease in couple formation and an increase in abortion rates. Supporting evidence is consistent with a behavioralThis paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries.

Urban densification is increasingly promoted as a strategy for sustainable urban development, yet it poses significant challenges for access to daylight and sunlight, particularly in Nordic climates where natural light is limited for large parts of the year. In Sweden, ensuring adequate daylight in residential environments is both a regulatory requirement and a critical factor for occupant well-be
