Seven semi-structured interviews providers, analyzed using text condensation, resulted in the five main themes; “On fertile ground”; “The foundation”; “Activities rippling effects”, “Positive social emotional environment” and, “Maki...

Mechanical exhaust ventilation system is typical in apartment buildings in Finland. In most buildings the base floor between the first floor apartments and crawl space is not air tight. As the apartments have lower pressure than the crawl space due to ventilation, contaminated air may flow from the crawl space to the apartments. The object of this study was to find out whether a potential air f...

introduction: in health care services, preventing problems and failures is more efficient than concentrating on correcting them. repairs are always expensive, as they require highly specialized personnel and costly spare parts. regular inspecting and servicing, using manual services and checklists, would maximize the impact of maintenance and minimize the costs. it is thus important to introduc...

Let H be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let L(H) be the logic formed by all closed subspaces of H. For every natural k we denote by Gk(H) the Grassmannian consisting of k-dimensional subspaces. An orthogonal apartment of Gk(H) is the set consisting of all k-dimensional subspaces spanned by subsets of a certain orthogonal base of H. Orthogonal apartments can be characterized a...

Understanding the effects of climate change on building indoor thermal conditions is importance for providing a comfortable environment occupants. Some multi-family dwellings have already been listed as heritage in China (hereinafter referred to apartments), limiting modifications envelope. However, effect comfort apartments with compact interior (i.e. without living room) built before 1980s di...
