  1. 11. Markanknutna gemensamma nyttigheter : en analysmodell för byggande, underhåll, användning och finansiering

    Författare :Martin Bucht; Thomas Kalbro; Sölve Baerug; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Land use planning; public utilities; law and economics; economic efficiency; property rights; decision-making procedures; collective action; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with appropriate legislation concerning common utilities, such as infra-structural facilities and natural resources, which can regulate construction, maintenance, use and financing. Appropriate legislation can be viewed in the two main perspectives, effi-ciency and equity, and the thesis concerns primarily on efficiency. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Wicked Problems in Engineering Education : Preparing Future Engineers to Work for Sustainability

    Författare :Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; Tom Adawi; John Holmberg; Marie Paretti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wicked problem; engineering education; sustainability; phenomenography; assessment; rubric; design-based research; action research; perspective shift; ill-structured problems; problem-solving; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

    Sammanfattning : Most engineering education today does not adequately prepare students to contribute to sustainability. For example, engineering students often do not learn how to address complex and ill-structured sustainability problems that involve different stakeholders, value conflicts,and uncertainty; such problems are also called wicked problems.

  4. 13. Developing and evaluating dose calculation models for verification of advanced radiotherapy

    Författare :Jörgen Olofsson; Mikael Karlsson; Anders Ahnesjö; Crister Ceberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiation therapy; high-energy photons; dose calculation; multi-source model; pencil kernel; uncertainties; action levels; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

    Sammanfattning : A prerequisite for modern radiotherapy is the ability to accurately determine the absorbed dose (D) that is given to the patient. The subject of this thesis has been to develop and evaluate efficient dose calculation models for high-energy photon beams delivered by linear accelerators. LÄS MER

  5. 14. HIV Patient Monitoring Framework Through Knowledge Engineering

    Författare :Charles Otine; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []

    Sammanfattning : Uganda has registered more than a million deaths since the HIV virus was first offi¬cially reported in the country over 3 decades ago. The governments in partnership with different groups have implemented different programmes to address the epidemic. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Planning for Solar Buildings in Urban Environments

    Författare :Jouri Kanters; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; architecture; design tool; design process; solar energy; urban planning; photovoltaics; solar thermal; building integration; density; net zero energy buildings; interviews; parametric studies; action research;

    Sammanfattning : Energy use in buildings accounts for a significant proportion of the total energy use in many countries. While past and current buildings have solely been energy consumers, future buildings will, besides using less energy, also need to produce (part of ) the required energy on site with renewables.
