  1. 11. Making sense of knowledge work

    Författare :Anna Rylander; Tore J. Larsson; Per-Olov Berg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :embodiment; emotion; intellectual capital; knowledge-intensive firms; knowledge work; organizational identity; physical setting; place; work environment; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : According to a dominant discourse in contemporary writings and research, we are living in a Knowledge Economy where knowledge is seen as the pre-eminent resource and the key to success for individuals as well as organizations and nations. Consequently, much effort in management research has been dedicated to devising new concepts and theories such as the knowledge-based theory of the firm and the intellectual capital perspective, all premised on the assumption that knowledge work is somehow different from other forms of work.

  2. 12. Active workstations : a NEAT way to prevent and treat overweight and obesity?

    Författare :Frida Bergman; Tommy Olsson; Ann Sörlin; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Patrik Wennberg; Fredrik Öhberg; Mats Börjesson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; treadmill workstations; sedentary behaviour; light-intensity physical activity; non-exercise activity thermogenesis; office workers; obesity;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Modern society is triggering sedentary behaviours in different domains. Different strategies can be used to reduce the time spent sitting and increase physical activity in the office environment, which is one domain where sedentary time is often high. One such strategy could be to install treadmill workstations. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Demand Response; Flexible loads; Building stock energy-use; Bottom-up simulation models; Load profiles; Non-homogeneous Markov-chains; End-user behavior; Lumped capacitance models; HVAC system control; Smart Grid.; Efterfrågeflexibilitet; Flexibla laster; Energianvändning i byggnadsstocken; Botten-upp-simuleringsmodeller; Elförbrukningsprofiler; Icke-homogena Markovkedjor; Slutanvändarbeteenden; Värmedynamikmodellering; Styrning av HVAC-laster; Smarta elnät.;

    Sammanfattning : The electric power systems are currently being transformed through the integration of intermittent renewable energy resources and new types of electric loads. These developments run the risk of increasing mismatches between electricity supply and demand, and may cause non-favorable utilization rates of some power system components. LÄS MER
