description: In the 1930s, the Swedish archeologist Olov Robert Thure Janse conducted excavation expeditions in Indochina. His expeditions revealed brick tombs in North Vietnam during a period when Vietnam was under the occupation of imperial China. The discoveries allowed scholars to gain new knowledge about the ceramic tradition in Vietnam and are one of the most important collections in dating the Han-Vietnamese ceramic wares. The Han-Viet ceramic wares and burial goods in particular are not well researched. To improve this situation and to encourage further research, this article will introduce some of the burial goods of the Olov Janse collection and the burial tradition in the area, which, amọng ọther things, fọllọwed the Đông Sơn culture. Furthermore, besides the burial goods of the Olov Janse collection, the article also offers a short critical reading of the historical background of the period in which the excavations were conducted, which was dominated by Eurocentrism and a colonialist approach to archaeology. The article concludes that on the whole, the abundant discoveries in the brick tombs are evidence for the influence of Chinese culture in northern Vietnam.
Energy and the environment : development of a sustainable education course
Creators: name: Kahl, Alandra

description: A recent focus in course development has been climate change, and the role of engineering in the sustainable world. There is an increasing concern about the impact of human activities on the earth, and a desire to learn about those effects. This paper details the development and evaluation of course content for EGEE101: Energy and the Environment. EGEE101 is a hybrid course, conducted both in the classroom and online, which is a novel environment and has necessitated new methods of communicating information to the students. It is desirable to produce engineers, scientists and energy business personnel who understand the energy system at a holistic level, and yet, still retain the appropriate engineering/science/business skills to meet the challenges ahead. This course provides this holistic experience and introduces the students to the many aspects of energy/environmental engineering in a novel classroom environment. Students found the dual nature of the course to be more rewarding than a single course either online or in the classroom. Students who would normally be reluctant to contribute to discussion in person felt comfortable contributing online, which added to the richness of the course environment.

description: Abstract: The second most common malignancy among women is malignancy of the breast, behind skin cancer. carcinoma of the breast is the most common cancer among women. It is estimated that each year, 2.3 million new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed worldwide. Breast carcinoma is the name for cancer that develops in the breast tissue. It happens when breast cells multiply and change uncontrolled. Usually, a tumor develops from the cells. The malignancy of the breast is among the cancers diagnosed most frequently in women worldwide, and if caught early and without metastases, it can be treated in approximately 70 to 80 percent of cases. To acquire the data for this study, a literature review was done and pertinent terms were looked for on reputable scientific websites including SID, Google Scholar, the Library of Congress, and the entirety of the Comprehensive Portal of Human Medical Sciences. Cancer, carcinoma of the breast, cell, gene, women's life quality, worker efficiency, age, obesity, alcohol, smokes, menopause, genetics, and mortality were among the search terms used.

description: The strong equivalence principle is a cornerstone of general relativity, tested with exquisite accuracy in the Solar system. However, tests in the strong-field regime require a compact object. Currently, PSR J0337+1715 is the unique millisecond pulsar found in a triple stellar system, orbiting two white dwarfs within an area comparable to the orbit of the Earth. This configuration offers the opportunity for a dramatic improvement over previous tests, provided that accurate and regular timing of the pulsar can be achieved. This also requires the development of a new timing model solving numerically the relativistic three-body problem with great accuracy. We report on the analysis of the high-quality dataset gathered on PSR J0337+1715 by the Nan{\c c}ay radiotelescope over the past 8 years. In particular, I will show how we could obtain the most stringent limit to-date on a potential violation of the strong equivalent principle in the strong field regime. I will also introduce preliminary resuts showing that the presence of a small planet in the system may explain a tiny residual signal so far unaccounted for, which if confirmed would make this system exceptionally rich.

description: We investigated the effects of curcumin (CUR) on BDNF levels and nitrotyrosine (3-NT) content in the hippocampus (HP) and frontal cortex (FC), and on the cognitive performance of db/db diabetic mice (DM).
 DM did have decreased-BDNF levels and increased-3-NT content in HP and FC (0.72 ± 0.09 and 0.61 ± 0.07 ng of BDNF/mg protein; 3042.27 and 11418.03 of 3-NT) as compared with wild-type (WT) mice (1.5 ± 0.09 and 0.94 ± 0.14 ng of BDNF/mg protein, p < 0.001); whereas curcumin improved or restored BDNF levels to normal levels (1.17 ± 0.03 and 1.21 ± 0.2 ng of BDNF/mg protein, respectively) and decreased 3-NT content in these brain regions of DM (438.28 and 1629 of 3-NT, respectively). In addition, CUR increased BDNF levels in HP and FC of WT mice (1.6 ± 0.14 and 1.84 ± 0.36 ng of BDNF/mg protein, respectively) as compared with untreated WT mice (p = 0.3 and p = 0.013, respectively). With respect to spatial memory deficits, curcumin-treated mice performed better the exploratory skills. These results suggest that curcumin has beneficial effect on the BDNF levels and nitrosactive damage in HP and FC, improving exploration and memory skills.

description: Sensitivity analyses of simulation ensembles determine how simulation parameters influence the simulation's outcome. Commonly, one global numerical sensitivity value is computed per simulation parameter. However, when considering 3D spatial simulations, the analysis of localized sensitivities in different spatial regions is of importance in many applications. For analyzing the spatial variation of parameter sensitivity, one needs to compute a spatial sensitivity scalar field per simulation parameter. Given $n$ simulation parameters, we obtain multi-field data consisting of $n$ scalar fields when considering all simulation parameters. We propose an interactive visual analytics solution to analyze the multi-field sensitivity data. It supports the investigation of how strongly and in what way individual parameters influence the simulation outcome, in which spatial regions this is happening, and what the interplay of the simulation parameters is. Its central component is an overview visualization of all sensitivity fields that avoids 3D occlusions by linearizing the data using an adapted scheme of data-driven space-filling curves. The spatial sensitivity values are visualized in a combination of a Horizon Graph and a line chart. We validate our approach by applying it to synthetic and real-world ensemble data.

description: In energy intensive industrial systems, an evaporative cooling process may introduce operational flexibility. Such flexibility refers to a systems ability to deviate from its scheduled energy consumption. Identifying the flexibility, and therefore, designing control that ensures efficient and reliable operation presents a great challenge due to the inherently complex dynamics of industrial systems. Recently, machine learning models have attracted attention for identifying flexibility, due to their ability to model complex nonlinear behavior. This research presents machine learning based methods that integrate system dynamics into the machine learning models (e.g., Neural Networks) for better adherence to physical constraints. We define and evaluate physics informed long-short term memory networks (PhyLSTM) and physics informed neural networks (PhyNN) for the identification of flexibility in the evaporative cooling process. These physics informed networks approximate the time-dependent relationship between control input and system response while enforcing the dynamics of the process in the neural network architecture. Our proposed PhyLSTM provides less than 2% system response estimation error, converges in less than half iterations compared to a baseline Neural Network (NN), and accurately estimates the defined flexibility metrics. We include a detailed analysis of the impact of training data size on the performance and optimization of our proposed models.
Comparing the outcomes of horizontal and vertical integration of sustainability content into engineering curricula using concept maps

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The goal of this project was to compare the conceptual sustainability knowledge of students at two institutions that differ in their approaches of integrating sustainability into curricula. One institution is a research-intensive university that has implemented a sustainability-focused course (vertical integration), and the second is a teaching-focused university that has woven sustainability into a variety of classes across its curriculum (horizontal integration). At both institutions, students beginning their capstone design experience created concept maps (cmaps) on the focus question: “What is sustainability?” Structure of student knowledge was analyzed using the traditional cmap scoring method, while specific content was evaluated using word clouds. Results support that students engaging in the curriculum with horizontal integration demonstrated broader, deeper, and more connected knowledge than students enrolled in the vertically-integrated curriculum. Furthermore, students participating in the horizontally-integrated curriculum demonstrated a more balanced understanding of sustainability, with the often-neglected social dimension being significantly represented in their cmaps, as compared to students from the vertically-integrated curriculum. Economic sustainability was a common weakness.

description: Carbonaceous asteroids, including Ryugu and Bennu, which have been explored by the Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx missions, were probably important carriers of volatiles to the inner Solar System. However, Ryugu has experienced significant volatile loss, possibly from hypervelocity impact heating. Here we present impact experiments at speeds comparable to those expected in the main asteroid belt (3.7 km s-1 and 5.8 km s-1) and with analogue target materials. We find that loss of volatiles from the target material due to impacts is not sufficient to account for the observed volatile depletion of Ryugu. We propose that mutual collisions in the main asteroid belt are unlikely to be solely responsible for the loss of volatiles from Ryugu or its parent body. Instead, we suggest that additional processes, for example associated with the diversity in mechanisms and timing of their formation, are necessary to account for the variable volatile contents of carbonaceous asteroids.

description: Natural interaction with recommendation and personalized search systems has received tremendous attention in recent years. We focus on the challenge of supporting people's understanding and control of these systems and explore a fundamentally new way of thinking about representation of knowledge in recommendation and personalization systems. Specifically, we argue that it may be both desirable and possible for algorithms that use natural language representations of users' preferences to be developed. We make the case that this could provide significantly greater transparency, as well as affordances for practical actionable interrogation of, and control over, recommendations. Moreover, we argue that such an approach, if successfully applied, may enable a major step towards systems that rely less on noisy implicit observations while increasing portability of knowledge of one's interests.

description: Education for sustainable development leads the generation of a new culture among engineers and general specialists. We need a change in the cultural conception representing engineering studies. This change is more than a simple extension of the profession; it requires a new academic and professional culture. Education for sustainability leads to reeducation based on previously acquired knowledge. Education for sustainable development cannot be focused solely on formal activities, scheduled in the curriculum, especially limited to the classroom or to be subject of one professor. Education in this field involves leaving the purely ecological paradigm to develop skills that enable students to master a new way of being and learning to live together in connection with nature. In general in higher educational institutions students are coming from different educational subsystems with different levels of understanding of sustainable development issues. The aim of this study is to track what changes are generated in the perception of sustainability in engineering students to be taught a subject in Sustainable Development. Prior to starting such a course it was applied to 31 engineering students a 59-item questionnaire to determine the perception associated with sustainability in relation to underlying values, awareness of ecological consequences of acts, ascription of responsibility as an individual and as a member of a community; as well as interpersonal and intrapersonal skills in making specific decisions. These students were involved in different types of sustainable development and human development projects during the 2012-summer semester to reorient their perception of sustainability. After the exit questionnaire, results showed dispersion in criteria regarding students’ perception on sustainability. However, we notice that perception resizing occurred based on new knowledge, a greater appreciation of students´ role in the environment and interest in a healthier lifestyle. Outcomes show didactic recommendations on how it could be implemented the subject and make changes in institutional life to let sustainability be a value inherent in social and professional responsibility that reinterprets the concept of freedom as a philosophical category.

description: We present Pandora, a new software to model, detect, and characterize transits of extrasolar planets with moons in stellar photometric time series. Pandora uses an analytical description of the transit light curve for both the planet and the moon in front of a star with atmospheric limb darkening and it covers all cases of mutual planet-moon eclipses during transit. The orbital motion of the star-planet-moon system is computed with a high accuracy as a nested Keplerian problem. We have optimized Pandora for computational speed to make it suitable for large-scale exomoon searches in the new era of space-based high-accuracy surveys. We demonstrate the usability of Pandora for exomoon searches by first simulating a light curve with four transits of a hypothetical Jupiter with a giant Neptune-sized exomoon in a one-year orbit around a Sun-like star. The 10 min cadence of the data matches that of the upcoming PLATO mission and the noise of 100 parts per million is dominated by photon noise, assuming a photometrically quiet, $m_V = 11$ Sun-like star for practicality. We recovered the simulated system parameters with the UltraNest Bayesian inference package. The run-time of this search is about five hours on a standard computer. Pandora is the first photodynamical open-source exomoon transit detection algorithm, implemented fully in the Python programming language and available for the community to join the search for exomoons.

description: Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a major contributor to treatment resistance and poor outcome for patients with cancer1,2. Here we examine the diversity of ecDNA elements across cancer, revealing the associated tissue, genetic and mutational contexts. By analysing data from 14,778 patients with 39 tumour types from the 100,000 Genomes Project, we demonstrate that 17.1% of tumour samples contain ecDNA. We reveal a pattern highly indicative of tissue-context-based selection for ecDNAs, linking their genomic content to their tissue of origin. We show that not only is ecDNA a mechanism for amplification of driver oncogenes, but it also a mechanism that frequently amplifies immunomodulatory and inflammatory genes, such as those that modulate lymphocyte-mediated immunity and immune effector processes. Moreover, ecDNAs carrying immunomodulatory genes are associated with reduced tumour T cell infiltration. We identify ecDNAs bearing only enhancers, promoters and lncRNA elements, suggesting the combinatorial power of interactions between ecDNAs in trans. We also identify intrinsic and environmental mutational processes linked to ecDNA, including those linked to its formation, such as tobacco exposure, and progression, such as homologous recombination repair deficiency. Clinically, ecDNA detection was associated with tumour stage, more prevalent after targeted therapy and cytotoxic treatments, and associated with metastases and shorter overall survival. These results shed light on why ecDNA is a substantial clinical problem that can cooperatively drive tumour growth signals, alter transcriptional landscapes and suppress the immune system.

Sustainable battery technology

description: Sustainability in the battery industry has many facets, ranging from minimizing the environmental impacts associated with material and battery production and the treatment and recycling of batteries after their end of life to environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects in the mining of raw materials. However, in terms of Europe as a location, sustainability also means building an ecosystem that enables stability and growth along the entire battery value chain. For example, through access to critical raw materials or a high degree of sovereignty in technology development and industrial implementation. Against the background of geopolitical developments and the dominance of Asian players, these aspects seem to have become more important than ever. The EU, but also the European industry from the chemical to the automotive sector, has been trying for several years to find answers to the questions related to the aspects mentioned. For example, there is currently a strong localization of production plants in Europe, which aim to cover the large battery demand of the automotive industry. At the same time, raw material deposits in Europe are also being increasingly examined for exploitation opportunities. All this is flanked by a comprehensive new EU battery regulation that has now come into force and initiatives like the critical raw materials act. The presentation deals with political, economic but also technological approaches along the European battery value chain, which can increase sustainability. Based on the predicted battery demand in Europe , the efforts to extract and process European lithium reserves will be quantified as an example and compared to the demand for raw materials. Likewise, the extent to which battery recycling that complies with the new EU regulation can have a contribution to raw material coverage is discussed. In a similar approach, the production capacity of the European battery industry itself is predicted and technological approaches to reduce the environmental impact of production processes are presented and evaluated. Also, the potential of alternative battery technologies to relax the dependencies on the Li-Ion battery technology, critical raw materials, or battery cell suppliers is discussed within a holistic sustainability approach. The result shows a picture of still strong dependence on a non-European raw material industry and on non-European players. At the same time, however, the European industry is growing, particularly in the area of battery cell production, which may increase the chances of implementing more sustainable solutions.

description: The quantum-confined Stark effect in InAs/In(Ga)As quantum dots (QDs) using non-intentionally doped and p-doped QD barriers was investigated to compare their performance for use in optical modulators. The measurements indicate that the doped QD barriers lead to a better figure of merit $(FoM)$, defined as the ratio of the change in absorption $Δα$ for a reverse bias voltage swing to the loss at $1 V$ $α(1 V)$, $FoM=Δα/α(1 V)$. The improved performance is due to the absence of the ground-state absorption peak and an additional component to the Stark shift. Measurements indicate that p-doping the QD barriers can lead to more than a 3$\times$ increase in FoM modulator performance between temperatures of -73 $°$C to 100 $°$C when compared with the stack with NID QD barriers.

description: Hyperentangled Bell states analysis (HBSA) is an essential building block for certain hyper-parallel quantum information processing. We propose a complete and deterministic HBSA scheme encoded in spatial and polarization degrees of freedom (DOFs) of two-photon system assisted by a fixed frequency-based entanglement and a time interval DOF. The parity information the spatial-based and polarization-based hyper-entanglement can be distinguished by the distinct time intervals of the photon pairs, and the phase information can be distinguished by the detection signature. Compared with previous schemes, the number of the auxiliary entanglements is reduced from two to one by introducing time interval DOF. Moreover, the additional frequency and time interval DOFs suffer less from the collective channel noise.

description: The following article focuses on the use of media offers to strengthen endangered languages. A general introduction to situations of language endangerment is given and arguments for the use of minority language media offers to strengthen endangered languages are presented. An important question concerning this issue is, if media offers, due to the fact that media are to a great extent language-based, are able to directly encourage speakers of minority languages to use the language in question more often. A case study conducted among Gaelic-speaking teenagers tries to find a very general answer to this question for Scottish Gaelic. The study focuses on the attitude of the participants towards Gaelic, their use of the language and of Gaelic language television programmes. Findings regarding the use of television programmes are analysed regarding their impact on the language skills of the participants.

description: Solid protein formulations for peroral, nasal or parenteral administration would significantly improve the therapeutic use, compliance, and stability of protein-based drugs. The aim of this work was to develop, apply, and assess innovative pharmaceutical stabilization and formulation techniques for protein drugs particularly to assess the suitability of small-scale HME approaches for the production of stable solid protein formulations. This thesis focuses on ram extrusion and TSE as techniques for the production of solid protein-loaded extrudates and VCM for predictive screening purposes. The stabilization of model proteins (lysozyme, BSA) and a peptide (human insulin) was achieved by embedding in dissolving (PEG 20,000) or eroding polymeric matrices (PLGA 50:50, EVA (40 % VA)). The work further aimed to evaluate the impact of process stress on protein stability enabling the comparison of different melt extrusion formulations and process parameters such as type of extruder, thermomechanical stress profiles, screw configurations, screw speed, and residence time distributions. Although proteins in solid state formulations exhibit an enhanced stability, the proteins can undergo degradation during processing and appropriate analytical methods were applied after processing: RP-HPLC (degradation products and chemical protein stability), SEC (monitoring protein aggregate formation or fragmentation), SEM-EDX (visual protein particle distribution), ss-DSC (polymer melting peaks and protein unfolding temperatures), ss-FTIR and CD spectroscopy (conformational protein stability), and biological activity assay. Since even small-scale HME processes require considerable amounts of material, VCM was implemented as a predictive screening tool to identify appropriate polymeric matrices prior to extrusion and to assess protein stability after thermal stress using only a few milligrams of protein powder. These findings were directly correlated with the results of protein-loaded extrudates prepared by ram extrusion or TSE. The gap towards a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between HME process variables and quality attributes were filled via numerical simulation. As 1D and 3D computational simulations were applied and combined with experimental data, results revealed a better understanding of HME process parameters on protein integrity. This provided an early starting point for the production of protein-loaded extrudates without negatively affecting the protein integrity and prior protein formulation development of long-term release systems by small-scale HME processing.

description: In a series of papers, we have proposed a non-perturbative field-theoretic approach to deal with strong electron-phonon and strong Coulomb interactions. The key ingredient of such an approach is to determine the full fermion-boson vertex corrections by solving a number of self-consistent Ward-Takahashi identities. Palle (see Phys. Rev. B 110, 026501 (2024), arXiv:2404.02918) argued that our Ward-Takahashi identities failed to include some important additional terms and thus are incorrect. We agree that our Ward-Takahashi identities have ignored some potentially important contributions and here give some remarks on the role played by the additional terms.

Multiethnic but multilingual as well? The Linguistic Landscapes of Vilnius
Creators: name: Muth, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Norddeutsches Linguistisches Kolloquium (NLK) : Proceedings
Year: 2008

description: This paper focuses on the linguistic landscapes of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. The aim of this analysis is to define which languages are visible in public sphere in four of the city's districts and constitute its linguistic landscape. Backed up by a corpus of 878 digital pictures of shop signs, placards, posters, graffiti and other displays of written language, the study determines the number of languages used on signs and the functions they fulfill in the given context. These findings are then compared with the number of speakers of different languages within the same area to find out if the linguistic landscape of Vilnius resembles the city's ethnolinguistic diversity. Furthermore, special attention is paid to the phenomenon of the spread of English.

Ist Kasuswegfall wirklich syntaktisch motiviert?

description: Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist die Fragestellung, welche Motivation dem Kasuswegfall bei schwachen Maskulina zu Grunde liegt. Gallmann (1996) sieht für den Kasuswegfall zweierlei Gründe: Einerseits wird das Ausbleiben von Kasusendungen am Substantiv durch einen Wechsel vom schwachen zum starken Flexionsparadigma begründet. Andererseits folgt die Distribution der Kasusmarkierung einem syntaktischen Prinzip: 'Keine Nominalflexion ohne Adjektivflexion'. Substantive weisen nach Gallmann (1996) also nur dann ein Kasussuffix auf, wenn ihnen ein adjektivischer Begleiter vorangeht. Im realen Sprachgebrauch lassen sich jedoch schnell Gegenevidenzen zu dieser Annahme finden. Es zeigt sich, dass Substantive auch kasusmarkiert sein können, wenn ihnen kein adjektivischer Begleiter vorausgeht bzw. sie nicht zwangsläufig ein Kasussuffix tragen, wenn ihnen ein Begleiter voransteht. Gallmanns Analyse erweist sich dann als problematisch, wenn ein Kasussuffix am Substantiv zwar vorkommt, ein adjektivischer Begleiter vor dem Substantiv jedoch fehlt. Im Folgenden wird von daher gezeigt, dass das Fehlen von Kasusmarkierungen am schwachen Substantiv kein syntaktisches, sondern ein rein morphologisch-lexikalisch motiviertes Phänomen ist.

description: In that study we tried to scrutinize the metabolic effects of two dietary strawberry polyphenolic extracts containing or not an anthocyanins fraction in rats fed high-fat diet. Forty-eight Wistar rats were fed with basal or obesogenic diet that contained two different extracts, specifically polyphenolic profile: 60/50, 35/35, 5/6 and 0/9% ellagitannins, proanthocyanidins, flavonols, and anthocyanins, in EP/EPA extracts respectively. Although both extracts beneficially affected liver and serum lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL and HDL fractions, triglycerides), the EPA extract showed more pronounced health-promoting effects on the content of lean and fat tissues in the body (NMR analysis) as well as serum concentration of leptin, adiponectin, C-reactive protein, IL-6, and TNF-alpha. In the conclusion, the metabolic action of the extract containing anthocyanins besides other polyphenolic fractions in the normalization of dietary high-fat-induced disturbances was more distinctive than those of the extract without anthocyanins fraction. In the recent study it was also shown that dietary combination of fructooligosaccharides with EPA extract exhibited beneficial effects (versus EP preparation) in the lower gut of rats (1).

description: End-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) models aim to learn a generalised speech representation. However, there are limited tools available to understand the internal functions and the effect of hierarchical dependencies within the model architecture. It is crucial to understand the correlations between the layer-wise representations, to derive insights on the relationship between neural representations and performance. Previous investigations of network similarities using correlation analysis techniques have not been explored for End-to-End ASR models. This paper analyses and explores the internal dynamics between layers during training with CNN, LSTM and Transformer based approaches using Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and centered kernel alignment (CKA) for the experiments. It was found that neural representations within CNN layers exhibit hierarchical correlation dependencies as layer depth increases but this is mostly limited to cases where neural representation correlates more closely. This behaviour is not observed in LSTM architecture, however there is a bottom-up pattern observed across the training process, while Transformer encoder layers exhibit irregular coefficiency correlation as neural depth increases. Altogether, these results provide new insights into the role that neural architectures have upon speech recognition performance. More specifically, these techniques can be used as indicators to build better performing speech recognition models.

Developing change agency for sustainable development : experiences from a new chemical engineering course
Creators: name: Svanström, Magdalena
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The chemical engineering programme at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden, has had compulsory courses on environmental science, environmental engineering and sustainable development (SD) at bachelor level for many years. This paper reports on curriculum development projects performed in 2013 and 2014 aimed at improving the quality of the program curriculum with regard to the compulsory content on ‘environment and SD’ and on experiences of planning a new course that was developed as a result of these projects: Perspectives on chemical engineering. The curriculum development projects contrasted the existing curriculum to syllabi from upper secondary school, to needs expressed by industry, alumni and engineering students, and to state-of-the-art engineering education for SD, and ended up in, among other things, ideas to be implemented in a new course in the first year. The new course focuses on introducing chemical engineering and the professional role of the chemical engineer, and developing change agency for SD. The new course was given for the first time in late spring 2015. In the course, the students are doing a smaller individual change project in which they change something in their daily life for a week and assess the impact and reflect on the challenges in making the change. They also do a larger group project in which they make a sustainability assessment of a considered sustainability-motivated change in chemical industry, including reflecting on the challenges in achieving change. Industry representatives help to guide the students in the project. The course also introduces basic concepts and tools like life cycle perspective, mass balances, biorefinery and industrial symbiosis. Special care is put into attempting to constructively align teaching and learning activities and assessment to the overall goal of developing students’ change agency for SD. The paper reports on this endeavour. The presentation at the conference also reports on the actual experiences from giving the course for the first time, in particular in relation to change agency for SD.
