Reaching net-zero in the chemical industry—A study of roadmaps for industrial decarbonisation

Striving to mitigate climate change, the European Union has adopted net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as a target for 2050. In this paper, European chemical industry roadmaps from the past six years are assessed and compared to uncover how the industry envisions its role in the transition to net-zero emissions. The roadmaps are assessed in terms of ambition level, technology and feedstock strategi

Ska Sverige vara ett korporativistiskt samhälle?

Jag vill undvika monopol för kollektivavtalet – eller för någon annan form av avtal, skriver Lars Jonung i ett svar på Håkan Bengtssons krönika.Hur ska den svenska modellen se ut? Ska den vara en korporativistisk modell där organiserade särintressen, parterna med andra ord, i kollektiva förhandlingar bestämmer hyror och löner för sina medlemmar? Eller ska det vara en liberal modell där rätten att

The ABC of happiness : Validation of the tridimensional model of subjective well-being (affect, cognition, and behavior) using Bifactor Polytomous Multidimensional Item Response Theory

Background: Happiness is often conceptualized as subjective well-being, which comprises people's evaluations of emotional experiences (i.e., the affective dimension: positive and negative feelings and emotions) and judgements of a self-imposed ideal (i.e., the cognitive dimension: life satisfaction). Recent research has established these two dimensions as primary parts of a higher order factor. Ho

Perceptual-Cognitive Processes in Basketball—Individual and Team Aspects

The role of psychological processes in team sports has been studied extensively. The chapter focuses on the psychological factors that are unique to basketball. These factors include the following: (a) free throw shooting—examining the role of gaze behavior in enhancing shooting percentages, (b) “the hot hand”—the underlying mechanisms leading to a “hot streak,” (c) clutch performance under pressu

3D technology of Sony Bloggie has no advantage in decision-making of tennis serve direction : A randomized placebo-controlled study

This study aimed at exploring whether 3D technology enhances tennis decision-making under the conceptual framework of human performance model. A 3 (skill-level: varsity, club, recreational) × 3 (experimental condition: placebo, weak 3D [W3D], strong 3D [S3D]) between-participant design was used. Allocated to experimental conditions by a skill-level stratified randomization, 105 tennis players judg

Quiet eye and performance in sport : A meta-analysis

Research linking the "quiet eye" (QE) period to subsequent performance has not been systematically synthesized. In this paper we review the literature on the link between the two through nonintervention (Synthesis 1) and intervention (Synthesis 2) studies. In the first synthesis, 27 studies with 38 effect sizes resulted in a large mean effect (d = 1.04) reflecting differences between experts' and

Understanding sport expertise through a motivational perspective

The present study investigated sport expertise development and maintenance throng the framework of self-determination theory (SDT). In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten elite athletes who had represented their respective nations in major international events. Data were analyzed deductively according to the principles of SDT. Results indicated that sport expertise development

Gaze behaviors during serve returns in tennis : A comparison between intermediate- and high-skill players

The authors studied gaze behaviors in high- and intermediate-skill tennis players while they performed tennis serve returns. Participants returned 40 serves in 4 serve locations while wearing a mobile eye tracker. The ball's flight path was deconstructed into 3 distinct locations (i.e., ball before bouncing on surface, the bounce area, and ball after bouncing on surface), and gaze behaviors along

INTRODUCTION: Few individuals have access to mental health services due in part to underdetection. As it is more likely to consult for medical conditions, primary care may be a useful gateway for early detection of mental health problems.OBJECTIVE: Detection of the frequency of mental health problems in four hospital services at the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá: Outpatient unit, hospitalization, e

A label-free high-throughput protein solubility assay and its application to Aβ40

A major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of aggregated amyloid peptide (Aβ) in the brain. Here we develop a solubility assay for proteins and measure the solubility of Aβ40. In brief, the method utilizes 96-well filter plates to separate monomeric Aβ from aggregated Aβ, and the small species are quantified with the amine reactive dye o-phthalaldehyde (OPA). This procedure ensure

Winds of change: An engaged ethics approach to energy justice

Theories of energy justice are standardly used to evaluate decision-making and policy-design related to energy infrastructure. All too rarely attention is paid to the need for a method of justifying principles of justice as well as justice-based judgments that are appealed to in this context. This article responds to this need by offering an engaged ethics approach to normative justification usefu

Structure-Property Relationships of Iron N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes : Synthesis, Characterization and Application

Resulting from the general availability of first-row transition metals, compared to their second- and third-row counterparts, photosensitizers (PSs) based on metals like iron have gained interest as candidates to enable photochemistry from solar energy, a largely underutilized energy source. Iron complexes equivalent to other metal complexes, currently being used as PS, do lack some of the advanta

Sustainable meetings – communicating to enhance the industry’s resilience

There are many definitions of resilience, but in general it refers to the ability of a system, which may be a community, society, or economic system that are exposed to extreme disturbances, persistent stress, or hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from effects of the situation in a timely and efficient manner (PreventionWeb n.d.;). Sustainability is focused on
