1. 6. Evolutionary innovation : Early industrial uses of genetic engineering

   Författare :Maureen McKelvey; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Biotechnology industry; Economics of innovation; Evolutionary Economics; Genentech; human growth hormone; Kabi; technological innovation; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Sammanfattning : Based on an analysis of biological and economic theories of evol~tion, this dissertation first specifies evolutionary innovation and then uses it toanalyze early industrial uses of genetic engineering. Innovation refers totechnological innovation processes, i.e. series of innovative activitiesresulting in technical change. LÄS MER

3. 7. Perspectives on Climate Policy : Induced technological change, land competition and global income inequality

   Författare :Fredrik Hedenus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Emissions of carbon dioxide enhance the natural greenhouse effect, which may cause higher average global surface temperatures. To avoid climate change, carbon emissions must decrease or carbon must be removed from the atmosphere. In order to achieve this, intervening policies are necessary. LÄS MER

4. 8. Path Dependence and Path Shaping : Unearthing institutional dynamics in large-scale project organizing

   Författare :Ermal Hetemi; Cali Nuur; Sofia Pemsel; Anna Jerbrant; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; path dependence; path shaping; organisational lock-in; institutional field; knowledge work; Ledarskap; entreprenörskap och organisation; Ledarskap; entreprenörskap och organisation; Organisation theory; Organisationsteori; Industriell ekonomi; Industrial economy; Industriell ekonomi och organisation;

   Sammanfattning : Over the last two decades, large-scale project endeavors or major programs that typically deliver a substantial physical infrastructure or a complex product with a lifetime that can extend for decades and across industries have become the norm for many utility sectors, such as transport, energy, water, or food. The allure of ever-larger projects shows no sign of fading away in the face of sustainable development and grand societal challenges – quite the contrary. LÄS MER

5. 9. Non-destructive detection of glue deficiency in laminated wood using thermography

   Författare :Henrik Berglind; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träteknik; Wood Technology;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of the work described in this doctorate thesis has been to study the potential of the non-contact and non-destructive test (NDT) method, thermography, to detect glue deficiency beneath a thin laminated layer of wood. The technological applications can for example be found in the parquet flooring industry. LÄS MER

7. 10. Energy Policy Instruments Perspectives on their Choice, Combination and Evaluation

   Författare :Kerstin Åstrand; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy systems; policy instrument choice; socio-technical systems; policy instrument combination; Energiforskning; Energy research; Samhällsvetenskaper; Social sciences; Sweden.; evaluation; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; wind energy policy; green certificate trading scheme; market creation; wind power; Public policy instruments; wind turbine development; kontroll av utsläpp; renewable energy; energy policy;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract The thesis aims at providing a better understanding of public policy instruments used in policy-making within the energy sector, particularly regarding their role in the change towards an increased use of renewable energy sources for generation of electricity. The research was guided by an underlying assumption that a markedly higher proportion of the energy generated from renewable sources can be considerably enhanced by use of policy instruments that support the development and the market creation of new, renewable energy technologies.
