The detection of pharmaceuticals in aquatic ecosystems raises questions about their potential effects on non-target organisms. However, environmental concentrations do not directly reflect the internal body burden of organisms. As part of this work, an investigation of contaminants of emerging co...

This study investigates how collaborative design processes can be developed to enhance cooperation between OBM (Original Brand Manufacturing) firms and design agencies operating at different levels of design maturity. The central aim is to develop collaborative design processes (CDPs) that foster...
