1. Application of two dimensional compound specific carbon-chlorine isotope analyses for degradation monitoring and assessment of organic pollutants in contaminated soil and groundwater
Sammanfattning : Nearly 250,000 sites with past and present potentially polluting activities need urgent remediation within Europe. Major pollutants include organochlorines (OCls), e.g. chlorinated ethenes (CEs) and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), mainly used as industrial solvents and pesticides, respectively. LÄS MER
2. Contractors in Green Construction: Relationships to Suppliers and Developers
Sammanfattning : Introduction of green changes in different stages of a construction project are reflected in construction processes and products, and in the relationship between contractors and other firms and consequently in the business model of contractors. The aim of this thesis is to understand and analyse contractors’ collaboration practices with suppliers and clients in green construction projects and processes, and see if there are differences in how contractors collaborate with their clients and suppliers as a result of engaging in green construction.

3. Diffusion, Swelling and Mechanical Properties of Polymers
Sammanfattning : Polymers capability to withstand harmful interactions withdifferent environments can be determined by looking at thetransport and mechanical properties of the material exposed tothe medium. The diffusion of a penetrant in a polymer and itsswelling characteristics can be verified by a simplesorption-desorption experiment followed by methodical analysisof the data. LÄS MER
4. Efficient governance of construction projects through cooperative procurement procedures
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this research is to increase the understanding of how efficient governance of construction projects can be achieved through appropriate procurement procedures. In this PhD project, literature reviews, a pre-study, a longitudinal case study and a survey study have been conducted in order to investigate five research questions and thereby fulfil the research purpose.

5. From data to decision : a case study of controversies in cancer risk assessment
Sammanfattning : Risk assessments serve as the foundation of policy decisions on whether to take measures to reduce a risk or not. However, different risk assessors frequently come to divergent estimates of the magnitude and even the nature of risks. Few attempts has been made in the past to describe and understand the reasons for these differences. LÄS MER
