1. 1. Learning to reason in environmental education: Digital tools, access points to knowledge and science literacy

   Författare :Emma Edstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Learning and digital tools; Digital tools and environmental education; Learning about climate change; Access points to scientific understanding; Science literacy; Science literacy and digital tools; Socioscientific issues; Inquiry learning; Sociocultural perspectives on learning;

   Sammanfattning : Digital technologies and environmental education represent two rather new areas in school curricula. The background of the present research is an interest at the inter-section between how students learn about environmental issues (e.g., climate change) and the role digital technologies may play in such contexts.

   Sammanfattning : Including civil society organizations in the policy process is a distinctive trait of democratic governance. But, while being highly valuable from a democratic point of view, not all civil society organizations are represented in the policy process. LÄS MER

4. 3. Search Processes, User Behaviour and Archival Representational Systems

   Författare :Anneli Sundqvist; Karen Anderson; Viveca Asproth; Thomas C. Nesmith; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; access; activity theory; information behaviour; records; representation; users; handlingar; användare; informationsbeteende; tillgänglighet; aktivitetsteori; representationer; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Information technology and political motives, e.g. e-governance, freedom of information legislation, has recent years lead to an increasing emphasis on users and access to records, but little research based knowledge about those issues exist so far. The main focus of the previous research is the use of non-current records in archival repositories. LÄS MER

5. 4. Does IT count? : complexities between access to and use of information technologies among Uganda's farmers

   Författare :Caroline Wamala; Merete Lie; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Genus och teknik; Gender and Technology;

   Sammanfattning : Drawn from a year of ethnographic fieldwork among farmers in Uganda, this study engages with developing an understanding on how access to and use of media and information technologies are negotiated in their separate profiles. Oftentimes the two entities, access and use, are laminated into one statistical representation, depicting both terms as either use or access. LÄS MER

7. 5. A Systematic Approach to Integrated Building Performance Assessment and Visualisation

   Författare :Samer Hassanie; Ivo Martinac; Holger Wallbaum; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal comfort; energy consumption; building certifications; occupancy; modeling; presence; pattern recognition; Demand controlled ventilation; Indoor thermal environment; Occupancy; Time response; Energy use; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this project was to develop a holistic approach to building-performance assessment without limiting it to energy use (usually expressed in kWh/m2/year), but rather include more parameters that represent the following aspects: Economic, environmental, and quality of service provided to the occupant/client. If it can be shown that buildings can be operated not only in an energy-efficient way, but also in a way that takes into consideration the needs of the occupants, a case could be built that a higher quality of indoor environment does not necessarily mean a higher economic impact.
