The Nordic Council of Ministers, the BAT Group under the Working Group for Sustainable Consumption and Production, has requested the consultant to prepare a report on Best Available Techniques (BAT) in wood preservation with chemicals in the Nordic countries. The Nordic wood preserving industry produces around 2.1 million m³ of impregnated wood per year, which is about one third of the total supply of pressure-treated wood in Europe. This report describes the present status of the used technologies, their emissions and impacts on the environment and technologies that can be considered BAT. The report will also be used as an input from the Nordic countries to the EU process under the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) for preparation of the BAT Reference Document for preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals (WPC BREF) which is foreseen to start in 2014.
This book draws on detailed case studies from three very different countries and school systems to explore the early adolescent learner and the middle years of learning, both of which are often overlooked in the literature. An abundance of research shows the importance of the middle years in putting early adolescent learners on the path to success in further education, careers, and general wellbeing. By focusing on bringing current research to life through the sharing of practical examples and lived experiences of practitioners, this book explores how issues such as curriculum reform, inclusive philosophies, instructional design, and assessment practices are supporting the conditions in whic...
This handbook provides an overview on wood science and technology of unparalleled comprehensiveness and international validity. It describes the fundamental wood biology, chemistry and physics, as well as structure-property relations of wood and wood-based materials. The different aspects and steps of wood processing are presented in detail from both a fundamental technological perspective and their realisation in industrial contexts. The discussed industrial processes extend beyond sawmilling and the manufacturing of adhesively bonded wood products to the processing of the various wood-based materials, including pulp and paper, natural fibre materials and aspects of bio-refinery. Core conce...

Muistitieto siirtyy sukupolvelta toiselle, mutta haalistuu kerta kerralta ja häviää lopulta. Aikalaiset ovat harvoin kirjoittaneet sitä muistiin. Arkistot kuitenkin säilyttävät. Niiden tutkiminen onkin avannut kirjoittajalle hänen lapsuuden ja nuoruuden kotikylänsä, Virtain Uuraisten kylän, kehitykseen vaikuttaneita tapahtumia ja hankkeita. Isojako, tukkikaupan alku ja siihen liittynyt sata vuotta jatkunut puutavaran uitto kylän läpi, rautatien rakentaminen ja työtä tehostavien voimakoneiden ja sähkön tulo. Käsissä oleva kirja esittelee tämän tutkimusharrastuksen tuloksia Ruotsin ajan lopulta 1960-luvulle. Haastattelut ja omat muistikuvat ovat täydentäneet. Kuvitukseksi löytyi mielenkiintoisia vanhoja valokuvia ja karttoja.
The present volume is a multidisciplinary collection of research articles exploring language use, language contact and multilingualism in the history of Turku, the first town in Finland, founded around the turn of the fourteenth century. Consisting of an introduction by the editors and nine case studies in the fields of linguistics, history, archeology, and literary and cultural studies, the volume participates in a wider discussion on multilingual communities while offering a closer look into linguistic encounters in Turku and its immediate vicinity. The volume covers the period from the Middle Ages (c. 1100–1500) to the latter half of the twentieth century. The case studies illustrate the wide array of languages, linguistic varieties and registers that the inhabitants and travellers used in their daily lives, the specific contexts in which certain languages were used, and the effects of these linguistic encounters at personal, social or institutional levels.
