This ground-breaking handbook leads the way in accelerating the
transition to a sustainable circular economy by introducing the
concept of a catalyst as a positive and enhancing driving force for
sustainability. Catalysts create and maintain favourable conditions
for complex systemic sustainability transition changes, and a
discussion and understanding of catalysts is required to move from
a linear economy to a sustainable and circular economy. With
contributions from leading experts from around the globe, this
volume presents theoretical insights, contextualized case studies,
and participatory methodologies, which identify different
catalysts, including technology, innovation, business models,
management and organisation, regulation, sustainability policy,
product design, and culture. The authors then show how these
catalysts accelerate sustainability transitions. As a unique value
to the reader, the book brings together public policy and private
business perspectives to address the circular economy as a systemic
change. Its theoretical and practical perspectives are coupled with
real-world case studies from Finland, Italy, China, India, Nigeria,
and others, to provide tangible insights on catalysing the circular
economy across organizational, hierarchical, and disciplinary
boundaries. With its broad interdisciplinary and geographically
diverse scope, this handbook will be a valuable tool for
researchers, academics, and policymakers in the fields of circular
economy, sustainability transitions, environmental studies,
business, and the social sciences more broadly.
It's Christmas Eve, and a lonely old donkey limps through the
frozen grass, searching for food. Suddenly he hears the sound of
galloping hooves. Could it be Father Christmas' reindeer? When the
Donkey meets Father Christmas, he receives a gift he could never
have dreamed of! This charming tale with gorgeous nordic
illustration is one that little ones will want to hear again and
again!
The IGISOL group at the University of Jyvaskyla studies the
properties of nuclei far off the line of beta stability. These
studies are performed locally at the Jyvaskyla Ion Guide Isotope
Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility, as well as at a number of
other laboratories such as the ISOLDE facility in CERN, at GANIL
and in Helmholzzentrum GSI, the location of the future radioactive
beam facility FAIR. The group is also actively involved in work to
support the development of international future facilities EURISOL
and aforementioned FAIR. This book presents carefully selected
papers to portrait the work at IGISOL. Previously published in the
journals Hyperfine Interactions and European Physical Journal A.
This volume comprises the recent development in the theoretical and
experimental progress dedicated to trapped charged particles and
related fundamental physics and applications. The content has been
divided topic-wise covering basic questions of Fundamental Physics,
Quantum and QED Effects, Plasmas and Collective Behavior and
Anti-Hydrogen. More technical issues include Storage Ring Physics,
Precision Spectroscopy and Frequency Standards, Highly Charged Ions
in Traps, Traps for Radioactive Isotopes and New Techniques and
Facilities. An applied aspect of ion trapping is discussed in
section devoted to Applications of Particle Trapping including
Quantum Information, Chemistry and Trace Analysis. Each topic has a
more general introduction, but also more detailed contributions are
included. A selection of contributions exemplifies the
interdisciplinary nature of the research on trapped charged
particles worldwide.

The ENAM2001 Conference was held on July 2-7, 2001 at the Rantasipi
Aulanko Hotel in Hameenlinna in southern Finland. The conference
was organized by the Department of Physics and the Accelerator
Laboratory of the University of Jyvaskyla with support from the
Physics Departments of the Universities of Helsinki and Turku. This
conference, Exotic Nuclei and Atomic Masses has now gained the
status of a major nuclear physics serial conference. The previous
conference was held in Bellaire, Michigan, USA. The conference was
first held in 1967 in Lysekil, Sweden, then entitled Conference on
Nuclei Far from Stability. ENAM2001 welcomed 270 participants from
34 countries, including 17 accompanying per sons. The content of
the program was selected based on the advice of the International
Advisory Committee. The Committee members read and considered 253
submitted abstracts in selecting oral contributions. During the
conference week 76 invited and oral talks were given. The rest of
the contributions were presented in dedicated poster sessions. Many
thanks go to the speakers of oral and poster presentations for
their enthusiasm and for the high quality of their work which
demonstrated the liveliness of the field. Participation in the
lectures was high and contributions from the audience were
important towards the success of this conference. The organizers
would like to especially thank Cary Davids of Argonne National
Laboratory for his comprehensive summary talk, which is also
included in these Proceedings.
