New possibilities for recycling of mineral wool separated from thermal insulation waste

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022
It has become increasingly clear, that the recent consumption of mineral resources is unsustainable. The Czech Republic produces more than 217,000 tones of mineral wool annually, while its recycling stays unacceptably limited.

Effects of hygrothermal, UV and SO₂ accelerated ageing on the durability of ETICS in urban environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) have been extensively used for either new constructions or building facades retrofitting in the last decades. These systems can provide improved thermal performance to the building envelope.

Colour degradation of façade coatings – the effect of nanopigments incorporation [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The increasing interest in the use of a wide range of colours in buildings, especially dark colours, may lead to the early degradation of the façades, compromising their aesthetic and thermal performance.

Emic and Etic

open access: yesCambridge Encyclopedia of Anthropology, 2020
The emic/etic distinction originated in linguistics in the 1950s to designate two complementary standpoints for the analysis of human language and behaviour. It has been subject to debates in the humanities and social sciences ever since. Imported into anthropology in the 1960s, etic came to stand for ambitions to establish an objective, scientific ...
