Mammalian oocytes are arrested at the prophase of meiosis I during fetal or postnatal development, and the meiosis is resumed by the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone. The in vivo functional roles of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) during the resumption of meiosis in mammalian oocytes are largely unknown. Previous studies have shown that deletions of Cdk3, Cdk4 or Cdk6 in mice result in vi

Energy audits help to increase energy efficiency in industry and have proven effective in many studies. Additional implementation support programmes providing financial incentives have been developed to not only support audits but also to overcome financial barriers to energy efficiency investments. Because the different types of programmes coexist, we argue that a precise analysis of their effect

Desalination can be a cost-effective way to produce fresh water and possibly electricity. The Gaza Strip has had a complex hydro-political situation for many years. Gaza is bordered by the Mediterranean in the west, by Israel in the north and east and by Egypt in the south. Water and electricity consumption in the Gaza Strip is expected to increase in the future due to the increasing population.

To reduce carbon emissions, logistics companies take measures to achieve the climate neutrality target to reach “Green Logistics.” As one of the valuable measures, gradually replacing present fossil fuel vehicles with electric vehicles for parcel delivery and linehaul transportation is scheduled at the terminals of logistics companies. The charging load of a fully electrified vehicle fleet challen

There is a growing emphasis on sustainability in Swedish public school meal provisioning. While the body of research has focused on food waste reduction, nutritional outcomes, and quantifying policy impact, there is little focus on the experience of the public service workers who are involved in providing the school meals. The unique challenge these public service workers face lies in balancing th

Lighting control systems have been traditionally employed to reduce energy use for lighting by, for example, maximizing daylight harvesting. When highly efficient light sources are installed and for tasks where maintaining target illuminance is particularly important, designers may decide to prioritize the latter together with energy use. In this context, the use of data-driven algorithms is emerg

Detta forskningsområde fokuserar på hur hållbarhetsövergångar påverkar naturresurser och leveranskedjor, hur dessa förändringar uppfattas påverka säkerheten och hur dessa uppfattningar utlöser respons från olika aktörer. Hållbarhetsövergångar påverkar materialiteten i försörjningskedjor och infrastrukturnätverk. Att minska användningen av fossila resurser och kolintensiva produktionsmetoder ökar This research area focuses on how sustainability transitions impact natural resources and supply chains, how these changes are perceived to affect security and how these perceptions trigger response by different actors. Sustainability transitions impact the materiality of supply chains and infrastructure networks. Reducing the use of fossil resources and carbon intensive production methods increa

In almost all countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, power sectors are characterized by a high degree of vertical integration and state control. However, several countries have undertaken reforms in order to open up the power market for private sector involvement particularly in relation to renewable energy (RE) sourced electricity generation. The majority of the MENA countri

The Danish Renewable Energy Act features several financial incentive structures with direct local level implications. One of these is the wind farm co-ownership scheme, WCS. In this study, we explore local perceptions of the WCS via survey data collected during the Danish near-shore bid for tender in 2015 from almost 2000 respondents. Empirical evidence suggests that demographic facts, such as gen

This paper critically investigates the impact and meaning of managerialism in a pharmaceutical firm by exploring its shaky basis. Managers' explanations of the failure in research leading to new products showed considerable variety. This reflects the absence of any shared understanding of research inefficiencies and difficulties to determine the roots of the problems. Despite this people blame bad

Quantum dot (QD)-metal oxide composite forms a "heart" of the QD-sensitized solar cells. It maintains light absorption and electron-hole separation in the system and has been therefore extensively studied. The interest is largely driven by a vision of harvesting the hot carrier energy before it is lost via relaxation. Despite of importance of the process, very little is known about the carrier rel

Recent developments in European energy policy reveal an increasing interest in implementing the so-called ‘Tradable White Certificate’ (TWC) schemes to improve energy efficiency. Based on three evaluation criteria (cost-effectiveness, environmental effectiveness and distributional equity) this paper analyses the implications of implementing a European-wide TWC scheme targeting the household and co

The government of Finland has the ambition of making Finland the first fossil-free welfare state in the world and reaching carbon neutrality in 2035. Simultaneously, worktime reduction and basic income have been matters of vivid political debate. Both worktime reduction and basic income are go-to solutions for post-growth scholars as ways to arrange welfare in a non-growing economy. These initiati

This thesis explores the application of European Union competition law — specifically Article 102 TFEU — to the regulatory conduct of dominant sports governing bodies such as UEFA, FIFA, and ISU. As sport has evolved into a major economic sector, the dual role of these organizations as both regulators and commercial actors has raised significant legal questions concerning abuse of dominance and ma
