title: Assessing the energy consumption of net-zero building with the life cycle cost and energy: an empirical analysis
Creators: name: Muralidharan, Jayakeerti
Publisher: name: University of Southampton
Year: 2023

description: The energy used to maintain the internal temperature of buildings and provide partial heating and cooling in buildings constitutes a large part of the energy demand. Therefore, minimizing energy losses and using energy more efficiently is required to decrease energy requirements. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Energy Assessment (E.A.) tools in the construction process have helped select suitable building materials and significantly reduced energy consumption. In this study, the performance of the building was analyzed in a Green Building Studio (GBS) with alternative materials for optimizing energy performance. Furthermore, life cycle cost, energy use, fuel use, and Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of building components such as, wall, roof, and HVAC, were also analyzed. Building energy modelling, also known as building energy simulation, has developed rapidly in recent years and plays a crucial role in building lifecycle analysis. However, although computer technologies have greatly advanced in recent years and help engineers improve work efficiency, Wall, Roof, HVAC, the design process is still very time-consuming. Optimized results show a better alternative design of building performance, minimizing fuel, electricity, and life cycle costs. The study aims to find an alternative new material for sustainable
design in energy-efficient buildings.

description: miRNA biogenesis is a multistage process for the generation of a mature miRNA and involves several different proteins. In this work, we have carried out both sequence- and structure-based analysis for crucial proteins involved in miRNA biogenesis, namely Dicer, Drosha, Argonaute (Ago), and Exportin-5 to understand evolution of these proteins in animal kingdom and also to identify key sequence and structural features that are determinants of their function. Our analysis reveals that in animals the miRNA biogenesis pathway first originated in molluscs. The phylogeny of Dicer and Ago indicated evolution through gene duplication followed by sequence divergence that resulted in functional divergence. Our detailed structural analysis also revealed that RIIIDb domains of Drosha and Dicer, share significant similarity in sequence, structure, and substrate-binding pocket. On the other hand, PAZ domains of Dicer and Ago show only conservation of the substrate-binding pockets in the catalytic sites despite significant divergence in sequence and overall structure. Based on a comparative structural analysis of all four human Ago proteins (hAgo1–4) and their known biochemical activity, we have also attempted to identify key residues in Ago2 which are responsible for the unique slicer activity of hAgo2 among all isoforms. We have identified six key residues in N domain of hAgo2, which are located far away from the catalytic pocket, but might be playing a major role in slicer activity of hAgo2 protein because of their involvement in mRNA binding.

description: This project was designed to test three different technologies for monitoring the fall armyworm, a highly migratory moth pest of maize in Kenya. This insect is invasive and is estimated to have caused between US$200 and US$600 million dollars’ worth of crop damage in Africa since it was first observed in western Africa in 2016. The three technologies we piloted were entomological radar, digital pheromone traps and an image identification app. The hypothesis we set out to test was that high-altitude moth migrations are linked to pest incidence at ground level and the later impacts of feeding damage. Our objective was to install and launch all three technologies in the space of a year, with the aim of developing an integrated dataset that would provide an overview of near-ground and upper-atmospheric movements of fall armyworm. This data would be shared with multiple different stakeholders in real-time. Over a 12-month period between March 2019 and February 2020, we installed the entomological radar, 20 digital pheromone traps and launched the Nondo app to test this hypothesis. Although there were several challenges, the outcomes after one year include: 1. Preliminary radar data. We were able to detect insects at heights up to 800m and the preliminary data would suggest these are targets of the appropriate mass to be classed as noctuid moths 2. A network of digital pheromone traps. We observed fall armyworm in almost all of the locations where the traps were installed and received daily automated updates, despite the traps being hosted in very rural parts of Kenya. 3. An image detection algorithm for the fall armyworm and other maize pests. This provided a very high level of accuracy for species where we were able to provide more than 100 images (>90% in some cases). This project has profound potential for impact as it demonstrates the successful implementation of an “internet of things” approach to biological monitoring in very rural parts of Kenya. Indeed, one of the highlights of this project is the deployment of the digital trap network beyond the end of the project. This is the first time such an ambitious, multi-layered monitoring network comprising radar, pheromone traps, machine learning and decision support apps has been established in Sub-Saharan Africa. This project is a proof-of-concept that clearly demonstrates the potential of digital monitoring to deliver major impacts for farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa.

description: Ship recycling has gained significant importance in recent years due to the growing awareness of environmental concerns and the need for sustainable practices within the maritime industry. As vessels reach the end of their operational life, proper recycling methods are crucial to mitigate environmental impacts and promote resource conservation. With an increasing number of ships being decommissioned annually, there has been a growing interest and emphasis on developing efficient and eco-friendly ship recycling practices worldwide. This article presents a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of 228 studies on ship recycling indexed in Scopus. Employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) methodology for its robustness in comprehensive literature analysis, this review uncovers key insights into prominent countries, authors, journals, collaborations, topics, and historical trends in ship recycling research, thereby extending the scope of previous reviews. Notably, major contributions from Turkey, India, Bangladesh, the USA, and China focus on environmental impact studies, reflecting urgent global sustainability concerns. The review discusses commonly adopted methodologies such as Life Cycle Assessment and Elemental Analysis, shedding light on their application in this field. Through thematic analysis across 8 categories, future research pathways are identified, highlighting crucial areas such as continuous environmental monitoring, innovative renewable energy extraction from end-of-life vessels, and the need for human factors in ship recycling. This comprehensive synthesis of existing knowledge and identification of emergent research needs and opportunities serve as a foundational resource for impactful future research and informed policymaking, particularly in aligning with global environmental and sustainability goals. Researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders in maritime safety and environmental sustainability may find the knowledge gained from this systematic literature review insightful.

description: Low soil fertility has been recognized as one of the challenges contributing to low crop
productivity in Zambia. In order to address this challenge, the government, the private
sector and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have promoted the use of Soil
Fertility Management (SFM) technologies such as agroforestry, animal manure, compost,
intercropping of legumes, and minimum tillage. In recent years, Innovation Platforms
(IPs) have been used in Africa as a means to promote farmer participation in appropriate technology
identification and development. In Zambia, there has been little or no documented experiences or
lessons learnt in the use of IPs to address any agricultural problem. Therefore, this paper,
attempts to fill this information gap by providing information on the experiences in the use
of IPs to address low soil fertility challenges in Zambia’s Kasama and Chipata districts. An
IP was established in each district with members drawn from different organizations. The
objective of the IP was to provide a platform for discussing and disseminating information
in order to enhance the awareness of low soil fertility issues and available appropriate
SFM technologies. The experience with the use of IPs showed that IPs are an institution
were farmers participated freely in identifying and prioritizing soil fertility challenges.
Farmers also participated in proposing solutions and developing an action plan to address
the challenges. The other experiences with IPs showed that they are effective information
and technical knowledge sharing platforms which enhanced awareness of soil fertility
challenges and the available SFM technologies. The IPs also contributed to improving
working relations among public, private sector and NGOs. Therefore, the use of IPs should
be encouraged as an approach for extension service delivery in rural areas. In order to
successfully implement IPs it’s recommended that a careful selection of stakeholders to
participate in IPs is done. Working with local traditional leaders in IPs is also effective in
dissemination of information to address low soil fertility challenges.

description: Coronary heart disease (CHD) continues to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. There are numerous therapeutic reperfusion methods, including thrombolytic therapy, primary percutaneous coronary intervention, and anti-remodeling drugs like angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers. Despite this, there is no pharmacological treatment that can effectively stop cardiomyocyte death brought on by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. For the purpose of regenerating cardiac tissue, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has recently gained more attention. The pleiotropic effects of MSCs are instead arbitrated by the secretion of soluble paracrine factors and are unrelated to their capacity for differentiation. One of these paracrine mediators is the extracellular vesicle known as an exosome. Exosomes deliver useful cargo to recipient cells from MSCs, including peptides, proteins, cytokines, lipids, miRNA, and mRNA molecules. Exosomes take part in intercellular communication processes and help tissues and organs that have been injured or are ill heal. Exosomes alone were found to be the cause of MSCs' therapeutic effects in a variety of animal models, according to studies. Here, we have focused on the recent development in the therapeutic capabilities of exosomal MSCs in cardiac diseases.

Teaching Chinese culture to adult learners in Australia
Creators: name: Wang, Li
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2002

description: This research explores approaches to teaching Chinese culture to adult learners with little or no familiarity with Chinese language to help them develop cultural understanding and/or skills for communication. It is based on three trial sessions held at Northern Territory University in 1999 and 2000. Seventeen specific approaches classified into three types, namely cognitive, experiential and cognitive-experiential-mixed, were applied in varied ways in the three sessions. Questionnaires, video recording and personal observation were used to collect data on student feedback and reaction for evaluating the appropriateness of using the approaches, the ways they were handled, and other relevant issues. This study supports a number of conclusions in teaching Chinese culture to the adult learners in Australia, including: a) It is appropriate to integrate both cognitive and experiential approaches in a balanced but dynamic strategy in teaching to continuously motivate learners to explore the culture for knowledge and/or skills. Using cognitive approaches alone may only be appropriate for research students for short sessions of about one hour. b) It is helpful to use group learning and activities, use cultural experiences and resources from the local community, and keep a less-formal and learner-centered orientation to the teaching. c) Teaching culture to adult learners is a coin with two sides: it is always necessary to keep in mind the learners' diversity and, accordingly, to use the teaching strategies flexibly to maximize the extent to which the learning differences are accommodated.
Network governance evolution and dependency balancing in Australia - Republic of Korea and Australia - Japan agribusiness trade
Creators: name: Stone, Sharman Nancy
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigates the area of agribusiness industry structure, in particular the form and function of Agribusiness Statutory Marketing Authorities (ASMAs) and their influence on relationships and governance in dynamic export networks. The networks examined were involved with the Australia-Japan and Australia-Republic of Korea export trade in wheat and dairy products. Network governance and strategic activity were tracked and the changes analysed from the time of the first cross-border exchanges until 1994. The units of analysis were strategic episodes involving ASMAs and seven of their industries' suppliers. The research proceeds on the premise that the heterogeneous distribution of actors' interests and power asymmetries in agribusiness industrial networks creates imbalances and pressures for change. The research problem is determine how up-stream suppliers in long-established asymmetrical relationships can countervail dependencies, given the potential for the more powerful buyer to retaliate should the less powerful partner seek to shorten the supply channel or expand the network with additional buyers. A particular contribution of this research is the identification of the significance of network culture (ie norms and conventions) in facilitating or constraining evolution in the network governance. An accurate knowledge of corporate histories, cross-ownership linkages and traditional interdependencies was also critical for the selection of appropriate exchange partners. Enculturation and network knowledge is a basis for influence and an important strategic element. Both of these areas of understanding are time and repeated-experience dependent. In 1994, most key personnel in the networks had more than ten years continuous employment with their firm. But the convention of working for the one employer for many years is rapidly changing in the Republic of Korea, Japan and Australia. This paradigm shift may challenge the way norms and conventions have been used to entrench the status quo, and the way relational exchanges have been traditionally established and maintained. Finally, a model identifying the evolution of network governance was developed. The constructs and their interrelationships show strategy stimulated by the macro environment which is in turn a dynamic admixture of interdependent demand-competition, productiondistribution and institutional factors. These are moderated by the micro context, ie the internal characteristics of the firms the experience and skills of the key personnel and their network position. The model of network governance developed also offers a workable framework for collecting data and undertaking analysis of dynamic business relationships using case studies. Using case study method, this research was able to gain insights into complex, dynamic interrelationships, over time and in real life contexts.

description: This work provides multidisciplinary research on a large-scale dataset combining close-reading approaches for qualitative and quantitative investigation of a chosen period in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, namely the events of May 2021, which were triggered by the Sheikh Jarrah eviction operation. After the first airstrikes on May 10, the #SaveSheikhJarrah campaign erupted on social media and maintained its momentum for eleven days. There was a dynamic movement from conflicting sides, inclusive of many other countries worldwide from this point. Applying an automated approach, tweets related to these events (370,000 items) were collected to compile a corpus representing opinions and social polarization specifics. Information flows were analyzed and systematized into several commonly occurring themes, using the sixth-step thematic analysis method. The findings show that users tend to share primarily the information generated by gatekeepers such as media giants, artists, and sportspeople. However, the rate of the most retweeted statements showed that accounts without a broad follower base could be prominent actors and speakers within the discourse. Semantic analysis revealed trends and associations with essential terms such as “Israel”, “Palestine”, “Hamas”, “Biden”, and “Netanyahu”, while hashtag analysis showed that even though they do not affect tweets virality, they are still a valuable source for measuring conflict stages.
Exploring the Role of Intersectionality in Media Representations of Sudanese Tea Ladies

Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: This thesis examines the representation of "Sitat Shai" experiences in online media articles and film. “Sitat Shai” is a term used to refer to Sudanese tea ladies, who are migrant women involved in specific forms of labor that include making and serving tea and coffee, washing dishes, and chatting with customers. They are often found within the city of Khartoum, its streets, old markets, educational institutes, in the corners of shops, and on Nile Street. Most tea ladies are war refugees and women from the west and south of Sudan, or from other neighboring countries. Their labor exposes them to different forms of harassment and violence by the state and society. This thesis develops a critical engagement that problematizes homogenous and limited media understandings of their lives and work. I argue that challenging traditional and limiting stereotypes of Sudanese tea ladies must foreground issues of race, gender, class, and nationality through an intersectional lens to understand how these women are positioned around the different axes of power and power differentials, including state and society.

description: Paul Solanges was one of the most prolific (in correspondence) and enthusiastic fans of Australian author Henry Handel Richardson (HHR). What was it about him that made HHR invest so much time in his translation of her novel, and to what extent can credence be given to the self-portrait in his letters? This thesis reveals his illegitimate royal background, considers his early career as a cavalry officer in North Africa and in the Franco-Prussian War, and describes his long career as manager of the gasworks in Milan. It also portrays in detail his other life as a translator of songs, short stories and operas from Italian to French. Finally, it compares his relationship with Italian novelist Antonio Fogazzaro to his relationship with HHR. A critical edition of Solanges’s correspondence with Fogazzaro and HHR offers the reader a privileged insight into the life and character of this Franco-Italian littérateur.

Exploring place through a family history : the Glovers of Sale
Creators: name: Glover, Carol
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study explores the significance of place and sense of place as sociological concepts. It does this by testing the usefulness of Thomas Gieryn’s (2000) framework for defining and understanding place as a fact that underscores all social life. Place is defined as having the ‘three necessary and sufficient’ features of location, materiality and meaning, and its sociological significance is investigated in terms of how places are made and what places do. A review of the literature identified a paucity of large-scale empirical sociological studies that have an intentional focus on place and sense of place. The purpose of this study was to help fill that gap by using a structurational perspective, to examine how individuals and society make places, and how places simultaneously impact upon them. It brings these processes into focus by examining relationships with places over time, through an autoethnographic family history. Places and people’s relationships with places are mediated by society; the impact of modernity and globalization are testament to this. However, this process is no less than the sum of individual lives that travel through time and space and inhabit particular localities. A family history provided the opportunity to examine not only macro processes that impact upon place, but also the phenomenological experience of place and the significant meanings attached to particular places. Following Gieryn’s (2000) typology the study identifies the power of top-down forces in place making, the influence of professional place makers and the perceptions and attributions of ordinary people. It also demonstrates the other part of the dialectic: how places themselves have a social impact, particularly in regard to their important relationship to memory and identity. These themes are investigated through a history of my own family, the Glovers. The case study explores the role of this family in the processes of place making, firstly, in Ireland where they were part of the plantation of Ulster. The focus is then upon the transformation in the family’s sense of place resulting from their migration to Australia in 1860. The colonization of Gippsland is discussed, including the impact upon the indigenous people, the Gunai/Kurnai, and the Glovers’ role in this process of place making when they selected land at Clydebank, near Sale. Finally, having discussed the processes by which the family later became well established in the town of Sale, the thesis reflects upon the links between memory, heritage and sense of place. The purpose of the study therefore is to exemplify how a family history can highlight the usually taken for granted concepts of place and sense of place as significant social facts. It provides empirical evidential support to Gieryn’s (2000 argument for their incorporation into mainstream sociology as important analytical concepts.
Acting in the middle : the dialogic struggle for professional identity in adult literacy and basic education in Victoria
Creators: name: Campbell, Beverley Vida
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The idea of grand narratives has sustained Western thinking for centuries; postmodemity has challenged this idea. I take the challenge to two of these grand narratives, that of 'the self and that of 'literacy', to explore how adult literacy professional identity has been formed around struggles between contradictory discourses of the self and of literacy. The study's main focus is the discursive struggles that adult literacy professionals negotiate in the formation of professional identities. I argue that this formation takes place through on-going discursive dialogue. The adult literacy professional self is one site among many 'specific disciplinary institutional sites' (Lee 1996:184), where professional identity is formed. I use thirteen professional narratives, my own auto-ethnography and selected public documents to explore the discursive constitution of adult literacy professional identity, through struggles over self and literacy. The thesis builds on two main metaphors to explore the nature of professional identity. First is the metaphor of being 'in the middle' (after Grurnet 1988, Gurevitch 2001, Gutierrez et al. 1998, Hall 1997), a pedagogical space where professional subjectivity is played out between teacher and learner. The second metaphor is that of Bakhtin's 'dialogic struggle' (Holquist 1981), and the idea that the en/acting in the middle, the formation of one's professional identity, is always a struggle, dialogic and on-going. Discursive struggles make contradictory subject positions available for 'the I' of the professional self; at the same time these discursive struggles construct 'the other' of the adult literacy learner, in particular and contradictory ways. Constitution of self in relation to the other inserts the need for a theory of agency and an ethics of alterity . The thesis also works towards a theoretical position, with the notion of the dialogic self, which overcomes the personal/social binary. In the context of adult literacy education the self is constituted through struggle, as both personal and social, with words, symbols and spatial practices from other contexts and other eras, (after Soja's 1996 concept of 'the trialectics of historicality, sociality and spatiality').

description: Abstract

Japanese is one of the foreign languages many Indonesians study, and at least 128 million people worldwide use Japanese. The number of Indonesian students studying Japanese reached 870 thousand students. This figure makes Indonesia the second largest country to learn Japanese after China. With a close diplomatic relationship for 61 years, Indonesian students' interest in learning Japanese has increased. Generally, Japanese language students who feel that they are not sufficient to improve their Japanese language skills continue their studies at Nihongo Gakkou in Japan. In addition to improving their Japanese language skills, Indonesian students in Japan also want to improve their Japanese language skills by preparing themselves to take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). The research methods used to conduct this research are the library and survey methods. The library method is carried out to obtain data and information relevant to research obtained from journals and articles on the internet. Meanwhile, a survey was conducted to obtain data on learning Japanese at Nihongo Gakkou. The study showed that learning Japanese in the Nihongo Gakkou in Japan influenced Indonesian students' JLPT results. This effect can be seen from the increase in the JLPT level, starting from a rise of 1 story, 2 classes, or even five levels when compared to before joining the learning program.

description: We propose a new notion called “extremal depth” (ED) for functional data, discuss its properties, and compare its performance with existing concepts. The proposed notion is based on a measure of extreme “outlyingness.” ED has several desirable properties that are not shared by other notions and is especially well suited for obtaining central regions of functional data and function spaces. In particular: (a) the central region achieves the nominal (desired) simultaneous coverage probability; (b) there is a correspondence between ED-based (simultaneous) central regions and appropriate pointwise central regions; and (c) the method is resistant to certain classes of functional outliers. The article examines the performance of ED and compares it with other depth notions. Its usefulness is demonstrated through applications to constructing central regions, functional boxplots, outlier detection, and simultaneous confidence bands in regression problems. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

Consequently, inbreeding in tree populations may reduce fitness and increase extinction risks, especially among species that are predominantly outcrossing, dependent on biotic pollination and/or display limited seed dispersal such as species of the Dipterocarpaceae. Aims: To test the hypothesis that heterozygosity of individual progeny affects their likelihood of germination and the growth and survival of seedlings. Methods: Standardised measure of multilocus heterozygosity (sMLH) was estimated from seven microsatellite loci for individual progeny collected from 18 mother trees of the large dipterocarp Parashorea tomentella. The relationships among sMLH, germination and seedling growth and survival were determined for the progeny. Results: Seedling survival over 18 months increased with greater sMLH and fresh fruit weight. This result was expressed under all experimentally controlled combinations of light and nutrient availability in the nursery and in the shaded understorey of primary forest where survival overall was much lower than in the nursery. sMLH did not affect the probability of germination or seedling growth rate in any experimental treatment. Conclusions: These results provide evidence that reduced heterozygosity is associated with reduced seedling survival in a tropical forest tree species.

description: Our work is motivated by a prostate cancer study aimed at identifying mRNA and miRNA biomarkers that are predictive of cancer recurrence after prostatectomy. It has been shown in the literature that incorporating known biological information on pathway memberships and interactions among biomarkers improves feature selection of high-dimensional biomarkers in relation to disease risk. Biological information is often represented by graphs or networks, in which biomarkers are represented by nodes and interactions among them are represented by edges; however, biological information is often not fully known. For example, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating gene expression is not fully understood and the miRNA regulatory network is not fully established, in which case new strategies are needed for feature selection. To this end, we treat unknown biological information as missing data (i.e., missing edges in graphs), different from commonly encountered missing data problems where variable values are missing. We propose a new concept of imputing unknown biological information based on observed data and define the imputed information as the novel biological information. In addition, we propose a hierarchical group penalty to encourage sparsity and feature selection at both the pathway level and the within-pathway level, which, combined with the imputation step, allows for incorporation of known and novel biological information. While it is applicable to general regression settings, we develop and investigate the proposed approach in the context of semiparametric accelerated failure time models motivated by our data example. Data application and simulation studies show that incorporation of novel biological information improves performance in risk prediction and feature selection and the proposed penalty outperforms the extensions of several existing penalties.

description: We study a next generation of storage systems: live-cube compact storage systems. These systems are becoming increasingly popular, due to their small physical and environmental footprint paired with a large storage space. At each level of a live-cube system, multiple shuttles take care of the movement of unit loads in the x and y directions. When multiple empty locations are available, the shuttles can cooperate to create a virtual aisle for the retrieval of a desired unit load. A lift takes care of the movement across different levels in the z-direction. Two-class-based storage, in which high turnover unit loads are stored at storage locations closer to the Input/Output point, can result in a short response time. We study two-class-based storage for a live-cube system and derive closed-form formulas for the expected retrieval time. Although the system needs to be decomposed into several cases and sub-cases, we eventually obtain simple-to-use closed-form formulas to evaluate the performance of systems with any configuration and first zone boundary. Continuous-space closed-form formulas are shown to be very close to the results obtained for discrete-space live-cube systems. The numerical results show that two-class-based storage can reduce the average response time of a live-cube system by up to 55% compared with random storage for the instances tested.

description: The main objective of this project Deliverable is to define a set of indicators to measure circular economy (CE) around the water-energy-resources-waste nexus in the B-WaterSmart project context. This set of indicators will contribute to the B-WaterSmart assessment framework that will allow to monitor and evaluate each Living Lab (LL) (industry(ies), municipality, city, region, etc.) performance according to the defined circular opportunities.

MethodologyThe team from B-WaterSmart has analysed different sources in order to evaluate the state of the art for measuring CE through indicators, analysing which indicators and criteria have been published until now and gathering and adapting all the CE related indicators that could be applicable in the context of B-WaterSmart. After this review, an extended first set of indicators was proposed and then was shared and discussed in a workshop with the Living Labs (LL) and other interested members from the project. The aim of this workshop was to finally determine which indicators could be monitored in each LL and could be of interest in the context of CE and the B-WaterSmart project. After the workshop, a prioritization and simplification of the indicators proposed initially was made. Later, the CE indicators were discussed with Work Package 6 (WP6) – who will develop a water-smartness framework – to integrate them with those from WP6, aligned with the definition of water smartness and their strategic objectives and assessment criteria. A second round showing the indicators to all interested members and to get a final list of CE indicators to be monitored later in each LL.

Results and findingsThe final results of the Deliverable are:1. A list of different sources and scientific articles reviewed and updated until today about CE related indicators.2. A set of 28 CE indicators related to the water sector and the water-energy-resources-waste nexus.3. A set of indicators that will contribute to the B-WaterSmart assessment framework and is expected to be replicated beyond the scope of this project.
