  1. 1. The household decision making process in replacement of durable goods

    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Household decision making process; replacements; durable goods;

    Sammanfattning : As durables are essential in many households, the level of ownership is high and, due to the high degree of penetration, a vast proportion of the current sales are replacement purchases. Even though a lot of research attention has been paid to decision making and decision processes many models are oriented towards non-durable goods and although a majority of purchases of many durable goods are replacements, few studies seem to make a distinction between a replacement purchase decision and a decision to buy an item for the first time.

    Sammanfattning : Future generations of robots, such as service robots that support humans with household tasks, will be a pervasive part of our daily lives. The human's ability to understand the decision-making process of robots is thereby considered to be crucial for establishing trust-based and efficient interactions between humans and robots. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Household food waste management – Evaluations of current status and potential improvements using life-cycle assessment methodology

    Författare :Anna Bernstad; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waste management; household waste; food waste; life-cycle assessment; anaerobic digestion; systems analysis;

    Sammanfattning : An increased understanding of the world’s limited resources and the negative environmental impacts connected to solid waste management has in recent years increased interest in separate collection and treatment of organic waste in many parts of the world. As an example, increased biological treatment of organic waste is an explicit goal within the Swedish national solid waste management strategy (SEPA, 2006) and the national environmental objectives state that 35% of all organic household waste should be treated biologically by 2010 (SEPA, 2007).

    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Household waste; packaging attributes; packaging waste; consumer s recycling behavior; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Sammanfattning : The global amount of waste generated by households, including food packaging waste, has been increasing continuously across the world, posing a massive threat to societies and the environment. Proper waste management, therefore, has become a challenging environmental issue and a priority for governments. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Leaving Home in a Peasant Society. Economic Fluctuations, Household Dynamics and Youth Migration in Southern Sweden, 1829-1866
