Sommario/riassunto

In police control rooms, everyday life is unpredictable. When handling a call, the staff must make assessments and important decisions based on limited information and often under time pressure: Which calls should become patrol work, and which should not?This book is a study of the work of police control rooms. It is based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, and explores the field based on perspectives from actor-network theory, critical security studies, police science, and criminology. The book looks at the conditions for, significance of, and dilemmas in the control room's work, and further explores categorization practices, information processing, goal management, the relationship between the control room and the patrols, professionalization, and emergency preparedness work.The book’s analysis has implications not only for control rooms, but also for our understanding of the operational police work as a whole and for the conditions and significance of this work.

Sommario/riassunto

Renewable fuels and chemicals derived from lignocellulosic biomass offer unprecedented opportunities for replacing fossil fuel derivatives, reducing our overdependence on imported oil, and mitigating current climate change trends. Despite technical developments and considerable efforts, breakthrough technologies are still required to overcome hurdles in developing sustainable biorefineries. In recent years, new biorefinery concepts including a lignin-first approach and a closed-loop biorefinery have been introduced to tackle technoeconomic challenges. Furthermore, researchers have advanced the development of new technologies which enable the utilization of biomass components for sustainable materials. It is now apparent that advanced processes are essential for ensuring the success of future biorefineries. This book presents processes for biomass fractionation, lignin valorization, and sugar conversion or introduces new bioproducts (chemicals and materials) from renewable resources, addressing the current status, technical/technoeconomic challenges, and new strategies.
