Its elaboration was informed by a systematic review of 181 peer-reviewed publications retrieved from the Scopus database, which describe 195 interactive sound installations. The resulting taxonomy is based on the comparison of the different facets of the installations reported in the literature and on existing frameworks, and it was used to characterize all publications. A visualization tool was developed to explore the different facets and identify trends and gaps in the literature. The main findings are presented in terms of bibliometric analysis, and from the three perspectives considered. Various trends were derived from the database, among which we found that interactive sound installations Citation: Fraisse, V.; Wanderley, are of prominent interest in the field of computer science. Furthermore, most installations described M.M.; Guastavino, C. Comprehensive in the corpus consist of prototypes or belong to exhibitions, output two sensory modalities and Framework for Describing Interactive include three or more sound sources.

  • And Scientists Immediate Past President 131
    LETTER FROM SCIENTISTS TO THE EU PARLIAMENT REGARDING FOREST BIOMASS (updated January 11, 2018) To Members of the European Parliament, As the European Parliament commendably moves to expand the renewable energy directive, we strongly urge members of Parliament to amend the present directive to avoid expansive harm to the world’s forests and the acceleration of climate change. The flaw in the directive lies in provisions that would let countries, power plants and factories claim credit toward renewable energy targets for deliberately cutting down trees to burn them for energy. The solution should be to restrict the forest biomass eligible under the directive to residues and wastes. For decades, European producers of paper and timber products have generated electricity and heat as beneficial by-products using wood wastes and limited forest residues. Since most of these waste materials would decompose and release carbon dioxide within a few years, using them to displace fossil fuels can reduce net carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere in a few years as well. By contrast, cutting down trees for bioenergy releases carbon that would otherwise stay locked up in forests, and diverting wood otherwise used for wood products will cause more cutting elsewhere to replace them. Even if forests are allowed to regrow, using wood deliberately harvested for burning will increase carbon in the atmosphere and warming for decades to centuries – as many studies have shown – even when wood replaces coal, oil or natural gas. The reasons are fundamental and occur regardless of whether forest management is “sustainable.” Burning wood is inefficient and therefore emits far more carbon than burning fossil fuels for each kilowatt hour of electricity produced.

Scientific advisory board Summary ASTEC (Advanced Software Technology) was a competence centre, which focused on advanced tools and techniques for software development. Development of software accounts for a significant part of the costs in the construction of a number of important products, such as communication systems, transportation and process control systems, of Swedish industry. ASTEC's vision were that software should be developed using high-level specification and programming languages, supported by powerful automated tools that assist in specification, analysis, validation, simulation, and compilation. ASTEC has conducted pre-competitive and industrially applicable research that contributed to fulfil this vision, built up a concentrated research environment, and been a forum for contacts and exchange of ideas between academia and industry. Four primary examples of ASTEC results are: 1. The High Performance Erlang compiler system: this tools is now widely used in the telecommunication industry, and its importance will grow in the future.

  • Swedish Trade and Trade Policies Towards Lebanon 1920-1965
    Swedish trade and trade policies towards Lebanon 1920-1965 Ahmad Hussein Department of Economic History ISBN: 978-91-7459-144-6 ISSN: 1653-7475 Occasional Papers in Economic History No. 17/2011 Licentiate Thesis Occasional Papers in Economic History No. 17, 2011 © Ahmad Hussein, 2011 Department of Economic History S-901 87 Umeå University www.umu.se/ekhist 2 Abstract This licentiate thesis examines the development of Swedish–Lebanese trade relations and the changes of significance for Swedish trade towards Lebanon during the period 1920-1965. The aim of the study is to explore how Sweden as representing a small, open Western economy could develop its economic interests in the emerging Middle East market characterised both by promising economic outlooks, and a high degree of political instability during the age of decolonisation, Cold War logic, and intricate commercial and geo-political factors. The study shows that the Swedish trade with Lebanon was very small during the Interwar period. It was neither possible to find any formal Swedish-Lebanese trade agreements before 1945. In the Post- War period, the promotion of Swedish trade and trade policies towards Lebanon witnessed more interests from the both parties. Two categories of explanations were found for the periods of 1946-53 and 1954-65 respectively. In the first period the Swedish-Lebanese trade developed in a traditional direction with manufactured goods being exported from Sweden and agricultural products being exported from Lebanon. Furthermore, there were no trade agreements between the two countries. In the second period, several Lebanese attempts were made to conclude bilateral trade agreement with Sweden in hope to change the traditional trade direction, and to improve the Lebanese balance of trade.

  • Promotion of Environmental Health
    The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations with primary responsibility for international health matters and public health. Through this Organization, which was created in 1948, the health professions of over 190 countries exchange their knowledge and experience with the aim of making possible the attainment by all citizens of the world of a level of health that will permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life. The WHO Regional Office for Europe is one of six regional offices throughout the world, each with its own programme geared to the par- ticular health problems of the countries it serves. The European Region embraces some 860 million people living in an area stretching from Greenland in the north and the Mediterranean in the south to the Pacific shores of the Russian Federation. The European programme of WHO therefore concentrates both on the problems associated with industrial and post-industrial society and on those faced by the emerging democ- racies of central and eastern Europe and the former USSR. In its strat- egy for attaining the goal of health for all the Regional Office is arrang- ing its activities in three main areas: lifestyles conducive to health, a healthy environment, and appropriate services for prevention, treatment and care. The European Region is characterized by the large number of lan- guages spoken by its peoples, and the resulting difficulties in dissemi- nating information to all who may need it. Applications for rights of translation of Regional Office books are therefore most welcome.
