2. 11. Capacity Development for Healthcare Systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Assessing the effectiveness of an advanced international training programme in sexual and reproductive health and rights in Africa and Asia

   Author : Gilbert Tumwine; Socialmedicin och global hälsa; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; capacity development; capacity building; SRHR attitudes; SRHR behaviours; ITP; LMICs;

   Abstract : Background: The 2030 agenda for sustainable development calls upon all nations to make critical investments in their health systems to deliver universal access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Capacity development is listed among the strategies for achieving sustainable development goals. READ MORE

4. 12. Steel members strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymers - A study of local and global structural behaviour

   Author : Dag Linghoff; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reinforcement; CFRP laminate; adhesive; design;

   Abstract : Investigations have been conducted by several research groups to study the effect of using carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) as reinforcement on steel beams and a brief summary of this work is given in this thesis. Laboratory studies of reinforced steel beams demonstrate that the bending stiffness and the ultimate load-carrying capacity can be significantly increased. READ MORE

5. 13. Advances in Ventilation Heat Recovery : An assessment of peak loads shaving using renewables

   Author : Behrouz Nourozi; Sasan Sadrizadeh; Adnan Ploskic; Carey Simonson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Peak heat load shaving; renewable energy; ventilation heat recovery; frosting in heat exchangers; Heat transfer; förnybar energi; ventilation värmeåtervinning; frosting i värmeväxlare; värmeöverföring; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : The building sector accounts for approximately 40% of total global energy usage.In residential buildings located in cold climate countries, 30-60% of this energy isused for space heating, 20–30% is lost by discarded residential wastewater, and therest is devoted to ventilation heat loss.

6. 14. Wetting and drying of aerogel-based coating mortars in Swedish climates

   Author : Ali Naman Karim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; runoff; Aerogel; retrofitting; coating mortar; wetting; drying; wind-driven rain; render;

   Abstract : Aerogel-based coating mortars (ACMs) have emerged as energy-efficient wall finishes with thermal conductivities of 30–50 mW/(m∙K). These coating mortars represent a promising alternative to traditional thermal insulation materials for retrofitting uninsulated building envelopes particularly in culturally significant structures.

7. 15. Stiffness of reverse channel connections at room and elevated temperatures

   Author : Tim Heistermann; Darko Beg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad;

   Abstract : A frame structure exposed to fire undergoes two types of changes due to the resulting temperature fields. The first is the thermal expansion of the structural members and the second is the degradation of the material strength and stiffness as temperature rises. READ MORE
