  1. 1. Methodological aspects of environmental assessment of buildings

    Författare :Tove Malmqvist; Mauritz Glaumann; Göran Finnveden; Raymond J Cole; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; environmental assessment; buildings; tool; environmental performance; property management; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : The built environment contributes extensively to the overall environmental impact of society. An increasing number of tools have been developed worldwide for comprehensive environmental assessment and rating of buildings in order to make the building sector more sustainable. LÄS MER

    Författare :Ida Westerberg; Sven Halldin; Jan Seibert; Lars-Christer Lundin; Chong-Yu Xu; Deliang Chen; Alberto Montanari; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Central America; Discharge; Flow-duration curve; Fuzzy regression; GLUE; Model evaluation; Non-stationarity; Observational uncertainty; Precipitation; Quality control; Rating curve; Regionalisation; Uncertainty estimation; Ungauged basins; Water resources; Avbördningskurva; Centralamerika; GLUE; icke-stationaritet; kvalitetskontroll; modellutvärdering; nederbörd; observationsosäkerheter; avrinningsområden utan vattenfö-ringsdata; oskarp regression; osäkerhetsuppskattning; regionalisering; varaktighetskurva; vattenföring; vattenresurser; Hydrology; Hydrologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Sammanfattning : Knowledge about spatial and temporal variability of hydrological processes is central for sustainable water-resources management, and such knowledge is created from observational data. Hydrologic models are necessary for prediction for time periods and areas lacking data, but are affected by observational uncertainties. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Wind energy siting: Challenges in applying spatial multi-criteria for planning support

    Författare :Deepa Manolan Kandy; Mörtberg Mörtberg; Gesa Geissler; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing emissions of greenhouse gases and subsequent impacts on environment and societypronounces the need for transition into renewable energy globally. Sweden aims to achieve 100 %renewable electricity by year 2040 with a major share expected to come from wind power. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Quantitative methods for evaluation of tremor and neuromotor function: Application in workers exposed to neurotoxic metals and patients with essential tremor

    Författare :Gunilla Wastensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tremor; neuromotor function; neurobehavioral methods; mercury vapor; manganese; previous exposure; welding; essential tremor; deep brain stimulation;

    Sammanfattning : The overall purpose of this thesis was to investigate the usefulness of certain quantitative methods for detecting or quantifying changes in tremor or other neuromotor functions. Tremor and impairment in neuromotor function may be the early signs of adverse effects due to low-level exposure to neurotoxic metals such as mercury and manganese, and are also common features of neurological diseases.

  7. 5. Trait anxiety as a determinant of psychological test results

    Författare :Roger Persson; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Environmental health; industrial medicine; Occupational health; work stress; toxic encephalopathy; symptom reporting; neuropsychological testing; organic solvents; repression; psychological methods; social desirability; anxiety; Personality traits; Medicin människa och djur ; Miljömedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the problem of interpreting test scores. The intention has been to explore and elucidate the effects of trait anxiety on test scores that have been obtained in applied research settings. LÄS MER
