identified through the database search and snowballing if published in English, while included grey
literature could be published in all languages, as many HTA agencies tend to only use languages of

journals have developed their own set of headings that are considered appropriate for reporting
systematic reviews, and it is not our intention to suggest changes to these headings, but to
recommend what should be reported under them. Fortunately, knowledge from other disciplines can
be leveraged to improve systematic reviews in LCA. Exit Essay - Save the Filipino Language by

area. Process-based LCA, in which data are obtained based on parameters of known, physically
utilized components, can be further divided into attributional and consequential types ( Finnveden et
al. 2009 ). In contrast, input-output models are based on economic inputs to a system, such as the
EIOLCA model created by the Green Design Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (2008). When
the results are not statistically significant, authors should distinguish between those where there is
insufficient evidence to rule out a difference between treatments (wide confidence interval), and
those which have sufficient evidence that an important difference is unlikely (narrow confidence
interval). Cite this Article in your Essay (APA Style) Drew, C. (May 15, 2023). 15 Literature Review
