Self-consumption and self-sufficiency of the Swiss residential stock
Developed 11,200 residential archetypes to analyze positive energy districts (PED). • PER, SSR and SCR are assessed under various electrification scenarios. • Overall, HPs and EVs increase SCR but significantly reduce SSR, especially in MFHs. • PED must account for temporal variation and building types to increase SCR and SSR. • Pathways on PED deployment depending on electrification and building characteristics. The concept of Positive Energy Di…
Operationalising building-related energy sufficiency measures in SMEs
The application and potential of energy sufficiency (ES) measures is examined in non-residential buildings occupied by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The hypothesis is whether integrating ES measures into energy audits could help disseminate these measures to SMEs. This is investigated in terms of the feasibility, challenges and opportunities for the actors involved. Standard ES measures are identified that could be implemented in SME…
Beyond short-term savings
This paper investigates the enduring impacts of Swiss energy efficiency programs on household electricity use and on the continuation of energy-conserving practices. Employing a mixed-methods research design, we analyzed electricity consumption data from 2009 to 2019 and incorporated insights from 2840 survey responses collected in 2018. Findings reveal sustained reductions in electricity use and continued adoption of energy-efficient appliances …
Nutritional screening of selected patients admitted in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Vadodara
Nutritional screening is an important factor for evaluation of patient nutritional status, especially whether or not they are at risk of undernutrition. One such tool is the Subjective Global Nutrition Assessment scale (SGA) which is a validated, widely and simple tool that assess nutritional status based on features of the history and physical examination and can be used in acute, rehab, community, and residential aged care settings. SGA is a to…
Macronutrient intake pattern among type 2 diabetic adults visiting a tertiary care hospital of rural Vadodara
The management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus requires a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. The present study was undertaken to correlate the dietary practices, anthropometric and biochemical parameters with the RDA of macronutrients. A cross sectional study consisting diabetic patients (n=50) visiting OPD at a tertiary care hospital were selected. Their anthropometry, food habits and dietary recall were analyzed. Out of 50 subjects, …
Effect of different pediatric medications on various tooth colored restorative materials used in pediatric dentistry
Aim: To study and compare the effect of different pediatric medication on tooth-colored restorative materials. Method: One fifty specimens, 50 of each restorative material RMGIC, Compomer and Composite were obtained using circular acrylic mold with a diameter of 5mm and thickness of 2mm and A2 shade for standardization. They were further divided into five subgroups of multivitamin, antiepileptic, anxiolytic, bronchodilator and distilled water as …
Novel integrated agricultural land management approach provides sustainable biomass feedstocks for bioplastics and supports the UK’s ‘net-zero’ target
We investigate the potential in producing biodegradable bio-plastics to support the emergent ‘net-zero’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets in the UK. A ‘cradle to grave’ life cycle assessment was developed to evaluate GHG mitigation potentials of bio-based polybutylene succinate plastics produced from wheat straw-only (single feedstock) or wheat straw plus Miscanthus (mixed feedstocks) agricultural supply systems. For scenarios using mixed fe…
Nutrition‐sensitive agricultural interventions and gender dynamics
Undernutrition and low women's status persist as major development obstacles in South Asia and specifically, Nepal. Multi-sectoral approaches, including nutrition-sensitive agriculture, are potential avenues for further reductions in undernutrition. Although evidence is growing, many questions remain regarding how gender mediates the translation of agricultural production activities into nutritional benefit. In this study, we examined how gender …
Final Energy Requirements of Steam for Use in Environmental Life Cycle Assessment
Steam is an important utility that is required in nearly all industrial process chains and hence needs to be modeled in life cycle assessment studies. Industrial steam systems are often very complex, with different steam flows varying in pressure and temperature and being transported over different distances. This should be accounted for when calculating the energy requirements related to steam supply. In this article, we constructed a generic mo…
Increasing Precision in Greenhouse Gas Accounting Using Real‐Time Emission Factors
For many companies, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their purchased and consumed electricity form one of the largest contributions to the GHG emissions that result from their activities. Currently, hourly variations in electricity grid emissions are not considered by standard GHG accounting protocols, which apply a national grid emission factor (EF), potentially resulting in erred estimates for the GHG emissions. In this study,…
A Review of the Environmental Impacts of Biobased Materials
Concerns over climate change and the security of industrial feedstock supplies have been opening a growing market for biobased materials. This development, however, also presents a challenge to scientists, policy makers, and industry because the production of biobased materials requires land and is typically associated with adverse environmental effects. This article addresses the environmental impacts of biobased materials in a meta‐analysis of …

Surfactants Based on Renewable Raw Materials
Under the European Commission's European Climate Change Programme, a group of experts studied the possibilities of using more renewable raw materials as chemical feedstock and assessed the related potential for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. Surfactants were among the products studied. Surfactants are currently produced from both petro‐chemical feedstocks and renewable resources (oleochemical surfactants). Assuming, in a first step, tha…
Effects of the health service and environmental factors on infant mortality
One of the findings of this study is that regional variations in the infant mortality rates of Sri Lanka are large, ranging from 26 per 1000 live births in Jaffna to 91 per 1000 in Nuwara Eliya, a tea estate district. These differences are more strongly associated with regional variations in environmental determinants of mortality than with regional variations in public health expenditure. The most significant environmental factor associated with…
