  1. 1. Fastighetsförvaltning med miljöproblemen i fokus : om miljöstyrning och uppföljning av minskad miljöpåverkan i fastighetsförvaltande organisationer

    Författare :Tove Malmqvist; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; environmental management systems; real estate management; environmental impact; environmental performance; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : Many of our most important and debated environmental problems of today have a tight relationship to the built environment. Examples are energy use, diffusion of chemical compounds through building materials and products and negative health impacts caused by emissions to indoor environments. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Reducing the environmental impact of food products logistics systems

    Författare :Kristina Liljestrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; food waste; food logistics; green logistics; food logistics systems; food supply chains; Transport’s impact on climate;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses how to reduce two types of environmental impact generated in logistics systems: transport’s impact on climate and food waste. In mitigating both these types of environmental impact, actors in food supply chains (FSC)—producers, wholesalers, and retailers—play important roles, for both causes of environmental impacts and improvement actions to moderate them emerge within their logistics systems.

  4. 3. Roadblocks to Implement Electric Freight Transports : Challenges for Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers and Hauliers

    Författare :Jorge Gutiérrez Chiriboga; Magnus Blinge; Maria Huge-Brodin; Uni Sallnäs; Lisa Govik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The freight transport industry is crucial for the global economy and a key element of all supply chains and logistics systems. The demand for freight is expected to more than double over the next three decades. Freight transport’s externalities and negative impact on the environment have been highlighted in previous research and reports. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Towards Understanding the Pelletizing Process of Biomass : Perspectives on Energy Efficiency and Pelletability of Pure Substances

    Författare :Stefan Frodeson; Jonas Berghel; Sylvia Larsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pelletability; wood pellets; densification; chemical composition; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

    Sammanfattning : The use of fossil resources has to decrease and the use of renewable resources has to increase significantly to mitigate the climate change. In this change towards more renewable resources, biomasses will play an important role, both for energy use and for products. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Spatial Analysis and Modeling for Health Applications

    Författare :Lars Skog; Yifang Ban; Matthew Smallman-Raynor; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sweden; spatial analysis; spatial modeling; spatio-temporal spread; epidemiology; pandemic; walkability; health; Russian influenza; Asian influenza; A H1N1 pdm09; GWM; climate factors;

    Sammanfattning : Despite the benefits of applying methods of geographic information science (GIScience), the use of such methods in health service planning and provision remains greatly underutilized. Spread of epidemic diseases is a constant threat to mankind and the globalization of the world increases the risk for global attacks from multi-resistant bacteria or deadly virus strains. LÄS MER
