Energy Efficiency in Cement Industry
- 1999
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Abstract in UndeterminedEconomic development that includes investments in infrastructure and buildings requires energy intensive basic materials such as steel and cement. The production capacity of these industries is also growing most rapidly in developing countries [WEC, 1995 #41]. Energy intensive industries typically account for a relatively small share of the value-added in industry but a relatively large share of industrial energy use and associated carbon-dioxide emissions. They are therefore likely to be the target of national and international efforts to reduce emissions, for example through mechanisms as devised in the protocols to the climate convention.The overall objective of this project is to improve our understanding of industrial energy use and efficiency in developing countries and in particular explore explanatory factors for success and failure in reaching high levels of efficiency. Large differences can be found when comparing industrial energy efficiency for specific industry branches across countries. Such comparisons may be misleading if differences in energy statistics and industrial product mix, quality or input materials are not accounted for. The work presented here is in part a contribution to the development of methodologies for international comparisons and an input to the International Network for Energy Demand Analysis hosted by the Energy Analysis Department at the Environmental Energy Technologies Division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).The first phase of the project which is reported on here focus on the cement industry and methodologies for international comparisons of energy efficiency in the cement industry. The cement industry was selected in part because it produces relatively homogeneous products, clinker and cement, albeit of various qualities, which should facilitate international comparisons. The analysis of different methods is primarily based on data for eight selected countries in the database hosted by LBNL.The results presented here serves as a background and starting point for more in-depth assessments of underlying factors for success and failure in energy efficiency in the cement industry. An analytical framework for systematically assessing relevant factors is proposed. In the next project phase, China has been selected as a case-study country due to its rapid growth in cement production, an interesting mix of small cement kilns in township and village enterprises and large modern cement plants, and its apparently high level of energy efficiency in large parts of the industry.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new curriculum is planned for the medical school at Lund University, Sweden. Pharmacology, in a broad sense, has been identified as a subject that needs to be strengthened based on needs in the healthcare system. The aim was to identify the competencies in basic and clinical pharmacology that a newly qualified physician needs. Using a modified three-round Delphi technique, 31 physicians were invited to list necessary competencies (round 1). After content analysis, these panel members classified the list by importance on two occasions (rounds 2 and 3) using a 4-point scale (4 = necessary, 3 = desirable, 2 = useful, 1 = not necessary). Competencies with the highest ranks based on necessity were retained. Thirty physicians accepted the invitation and 25 (83%) of them completed all three rounds. Round 1 resulted in 258 suggestions, which were subsequently reduced to 95 competencies. Of these 95 competencies, 40 were considered necessary by at least 75% of the panel members. The degree of consensus increased between round 2 and round 3. Using a modified Delphi technique, we identified 40 competencies that could be transferred to learning outcomes for a new curriculum in basic and clinical pharmacology at medical school.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We evaluated the predictive value of interim positon emission tomography (I-PET) after one course of chemoimmunotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). One hundred and twelve patients with DLBCL were enrolled. All patients had PET/computed tomography (CT) scans performed after one course of chemotherapy (PET-1). I-PET scans were categorized according to International Harmonization Project criteria (IHP), Deauville 5-point scale (D 5PS) with scores 1-3 considered negative (D 5PS>3) and D 5PS with scores 1-4 considered negative (D 5PS = 5). Ratios of tumor maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) to liver SUVmax were also analyzed. We found no difference in progression-free survival (PFS) between PET-negative and PET-positive patients according to IHP and D 5PS>3. The 2-year PFS using D 5PS = 5 was 50.9% in the PET-positive group and 84.8% in the PET-negative group (p = 0.002). A tumor/liver SUVmax cut-off of 3.1 to distinguish D 5PS scores of 4 and 5 provided the best prognostic value. PET after one course of chemotherapy was not able to safely discriminate PET-positive and PET-negative patients in different prognostic groups.

Utvärdering av sjuksköterskeprogrammet vid Lunds universitet : Höstterminen 2012 - vårterminen 2014
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- 2012 beslutade MedCUL (Medicinska fakultetens centrum för undervisning och lärande) och sjuksköterskeprogrammets ledning att påbörja en större utvärdering av sjuksköterskeutbildningen. Projektet består av två delar med delvis olika syften. Den första delen, som här redovisas för perioden höstterminen 2012 till och med vårterminen 2014, syftar till att ta fram underlag för förbättring av programmet. Den andra delen är ett forskningsprojekt där olika utvärderingsmetoder utprovas och jämförs. Tillvägagångssätten har varit fokusgrupper med studenter på termin tre respektive sex, enkäterna DREEM och CLES+T, intervjuer med enskilda studenter och lärare, samt analys av kursplaner och andra kursrelaterade dokument. Projektet påbörjades i samband med att programmet sjösatte en ny utbildningsplan höstterminen 2012 och de studenter som ingått i projektet representerar sex olika kohorter, fyra inom den tidigare utbildningsplanen och två inom den nuvarande. Denna rapport inleds med en sammanfattning av de olika tillvägagångssätt vi använt samt huvuddragen i resultaten (i rapportens appendix återfinns samtliga enkäter och frågemallar samt resterande resultat). I den avslutande diskussionen, där vi också ger förslag för utveckling, har vi begränsat oss till ett antal problemområden som vi menar framstått särskilt tydligt och är särskilt viktiga att göra något åt. Rapportens resultatdel rymmer dock mer än så och kan vara användbart för vidare analys och utvecklingsarbete.
