  1. 1. Environing Technology : Swedish Satellite Remote Sensing in the Making of Environment 1969–2001

    Författare :Johan Gärdebo; Nina Wormbs; Sabine Höhler; Edward Jones-Imhotep; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; COPUOS; environing; environmental diplomacy; infrastructure; satellite remote sensing; SPOT; Spot Image; sustainable development; Sweden; Swedish Space Corporation; History of Science; Technology and Environment; Historiska studier av teknik; vetenskap och miljö;

    Sammanfattning : The state-owned Swedish Space Corporation established a satellite remote sensing infrastructure and defined uses for the technology both within and beyond Sweden during the latter part of the twentieth century. This thesis studies Swedish satellite remote sensing as an environing technology – a technology that environs, that produces environments and our perceptions of the environment. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Mind Games Extended : Understanding Gameplay as Situated Activity

    Författare :Jana Rambusch; Tom Ziemke; Tarja Susi; Ulf Wilhelmsson; T. L. Taylor; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer gameplay; situatedness; embodied cognition; Teknik; Technology; TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses computer gameplay activities in terms of the physical handling of a game, players’ meaning-making activities, and how these two processes are closely interrelated. It is examined in greater detail which role the body plays in gameplay, but also how gameplay is shaped by sociocultural factors outside the game, including different kind of tools and players’ participation in community practices.

  4. 3. On national technology policy in global energy transitions: The case of Swedish marine energy

    Författare :Johnn Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; energy transitions; innovation policy; marine energy technology; technology policy; tidal kite technology; technological innovation systems; sustainability transitions;

    Sammanfattning : Mitigating climate change and achieving sustainable development requires a rapid global transition to a low-carbon energy system. Policymakers therefore promote new renewable energy technologies, while also aiming to create localized environmental and socioeconomic benefits. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies of cell-on-chip technology and basophil regulation for improved allergy diagnostics

    Författare :Frida Kalm; Anna Nopp Scherman; Stephanie Descroix; KTH; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic diseases affect approximately 30% of adults and has an impact on both the individual’s quality of life as well as an economic impact on society. Two effector cells involved in allergic disease are mast cells and basophils, where basophils are more readily available in blood and therefore of great interest when studying allergy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Interweaving Technology : Understanding the Design and Experience of Interactive Performances
