FM goes independently / SLA Good Practice for FM in Healthcare
Up until now, work in hospitals has been carried out more or less when called upon and rarely on the basis of systematic, written Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Due to increasing cost pressures and the resulting need for greater efficiency and quality in healthcare, the topic of SLAs is becoming increasingly ...

Global site assessment for hazelnut production
Currently, 64% of the world's hazelnut production comes from Turkey. A further 13% is produced in Italy. This concentration on a small number of countries poses a risk for the long-term safeguarding of the hazelnut supply. In order to ensure the procurement of hazelnuts in the long term, hazelnut production must be ...

MycoTOF -Determining mycotoxigenic molds and mycotoxins
Food spoilage by molds is a very important issue, since molds negatively influence the food quality and safety, due to mycotoxin synthesis. Apart from being allergens or irritants, some of the health effects of mycotoxins found in animals and humans include death, identifiable diseases or health problems, or ...

IbD – Intensified by Design® for the intensification of processes involving solids handling
IbD® will create a holistic platform for facilitating process intensification in processes in which solids are an intrinsic part, the cornerstone of which will be an intensified-by-design® (IbD). The IbD approach is hinged on the use of robust data about a process to ‘redesign’, modify, adapt and alter that process ...

Informal mountain bike trails in the city forest of Zurich
Mountain biking is nowadays one of the most important leisure activities in Switzerland. In urban areas, trails and paths in the forest are preferred. As a result of the increased usage pressure, illegal and informal trails are sometimes built off the official routes. This development can lead to soil compaction, ...

Conservation biology of cryptogam communities on erratic boulders in the Swiss Plateau and Jura Mountains
Pleistocene erratic boulders sometimes harbour exclusive rock-dwelling cryptogams (bryophytes, ferns and lichens) and thereby contribute to the biodiversity of landscapes. This is especially the case where erratic boulders constitute the only natural rock habitats or where the chemical composition of boulders ...
