The document discusses sustainable development and the challenges of balancing resource use with environmental protection. It uses the example of Easter Island to illustrate how past civilizations failed to maintain this balance, resulting in environmental devastation and societal collapse. While modern societies have seen significant economic growth and rising living standards, this has also led to problems like rising inequality, environmental degradation, and the potential for systems to become unbalanced. Achieving sustainable development requires finding ways for societies to progress while respecting the environmental and social limits of the planet.

ORSI Policy brief: Kuntien hankinnoilla hiilineutraaliuteenORSI
Julkisilla hankinnoilla vaikuttaminen on konkreettinen keino, kun haetaan ratkaisuja hiilineutraaliuden saavuttamiseksi ja ilmastokriisin selättämiseksi. Julkisen sektorin rakennuskannassa, energiankulutuksessa ja palvelujen tuottamisessa piilee merkittävä ilmastopäästöjen vähennyspotentiaali, sillä Suomen julkisten hankintojen hiilijalanjälki vastaa noin viidesosaa maamme kulutusperusteisesti lasketuista kasvihuonekaasupäästöistä.Tästä hiilijalanjäljestä taas lähes 80 prosenttia aiheutuu kuntien ja kuntayhtymien hankinnoista.
Keinoja ilmastoystävällisiin hankintoihin ovat kestävyystavoitteiden liittäminen hankintaprosessiin, puhtaan teknologian hankinnat ja fiksujen palveluratkaisujen edistäminen. Vuonna 2017 uudistettu hankintalaki tukee hankintojen kestävyyden huomioimista aiempaa paremmin, ja vuonna 2020 käyttöönotettu kansallinen julkisten hankintojen strategia, Hankinta-Suomi, painottaa vahvasti hankintojen kestävyyttä.
Hankintapulssi-työkalulla on mahdollista tarkastella, mihin hankintakokonaisuuksiin liittyy suurimmat päästövähennysmahdollisuudet. Jo tällä hetkellä Suomesta löytyy runsaasti hyviä esimerkkejä vähähiilisistä hankinnoista. Käyttämättömiä mahdollisuuksia on kuitenkin vielä paljon.
Eteneminen kohti vähähiilisiä hankintoja vaatii kunnan johdon tuen, kestävyyttä edistävät hankintalinjaukset, hankintaosaamisen kehittämistä, resursseja ja yhteistyötä.
Ilmastobudjetointi on arvokas työkalu hiilineutraaliutta tavoitteleville kunnille. Paikallisten päästövähennystavoitteiden sisällyttäminen kunnan talousarvioon ja niiden seuraaminen tilinpäätöksessä auttavat kuntia varmistamaan, että tavoitteisiin
pääsemiselle osoitetaan tarpeeksi varoja.
Ilmastobudjetointi parantaa myös kunnan eri toimijoiden välistä yhteistyötä, mikä on välttämätöntä tavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi. Kun kunnan strategiset ilmastotavoitteet ja -toimenpiteet muodostavat oleellisen osan vuosittaista budjettia ja raportointia, kunnan johto pystyy seuraamaan edistystä. Näiden tietojen avulla poliittiset päätöksentekijät pystyvät kertomaan toteutuneista edistysaskeleista ja kehityksestä kuntalaisille ja erilaisille sidosryhmille.
Ilmastobudjetin menestyksekäs käyttöönotto ja hyödyntäminen edellyttävät kunnalta muutakin kuin pelkkää mittaamista tai laskentaa. Oleellista on myös rakentaa kuntaorganisaatioon ilmastotoimenpiteitä tukeva kulttuuri.

Max Koch: Towards a Postgrowth Sustainable Welfare StateORSI
This document summarizes a presentation about how states can facilitate a social and ecological transformation towards a post-growth sustainable welfare state. It outlines that states should ensure production and consumption patterns do not exceed environmental limits, define limits on economic and social inequality, and steer public and private actors. However, four main obstacles prevent states from taking these actions: the growth imperative, material interests of dominant groups, wellbeing concerns of the electorate, and asymmetric societal power structures. For states to become more active, there needs to be better academic understanding of alternative state roles, political/social mobilization to shift state balances of power, and co-development of eco-social policies between researchers, activists and citizens.

The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

where is the link?
Green deal and recovery nationally

global flows? Where are developing
countries? Where could Finland make
strongest contributions to sustainability
transformations?
What could Finland as a state offer as
models to other countries? How?
Could the state support global

13. But:
Is the pace and volume of transformation enough? Does this happen on systems level?
Where do the systems link wth each other? Could state do more for integrating the
four levers to work together instead of one to one collaboration?
Where is the evidence that investments are worth while? Where is upscaling:
municipality to municipalities, local- state, state-Europe, state-global?
Finally: Strategies, policies and even will is with the govenment
The municipality elections are coming, and the parties and voters are alert…
