1. 11. On the other side of change : Exploring the role that design can play in retaining sustainable doings

   Författare :Wanjun Chu; Renee Wever; Wiktoria Glad; Oskar Rexfelt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Design for sustainable behavior; Behavior retention; Behavior change; Sustainable design; Context change; Activity theory;

   Sammanfattning : The world keeps changing more rapidly. Induced by context change disruptions such as individual life-course changes and macro socio-economical events, the way people carry out their everyday life doings is also undergoing a dynamic transition process, which may open up windows of opportunity for design to transit people’s behavior in a more sustainable direction.

3. 12. Tensions and Contradictions in Information Management

   Författare :Karen Nowé Hedvall; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; information management; information behaviour; information strategies; activity theory; voluntary organisations; peace organisations;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis aims to contribute to the research on the management and use of information in organisations by providing a holistic understanding of the various information practices and needs as well as attitudes towards information at different levels in the broader socio-historical context of a specific organisation. To this end, findings and approaches from research traditions in library and information science, management studies and organisational theory are combined in an activity-theoretical approach with some neo-institutional aspects.

4. 13. A Complex Adaptive System Approach on Logistics - Implications of adopting a complexity perspective

   Författare :Fredrik Nilsson; Förpackningslogistik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; logistics systems; logistics; paradigm; epistemology; complex adaptive systems; complexity theory;

   Sammanfattning : The quest of developing the logistics discipline, with a more theoretical foundation, is something several authors have emphasized and called for. Today one could argue that most of the research on logistics has a strong connection to the positivistic paradigm where there is a great emphasis on prediction, rationality and control in the solutions produced.

7. 15. Protein unfolding by interfaces and interactions between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

   Författare :Svetla Chakarova Käck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; first-principles calculations; PAH; denaturation; protein-interface interactions; van der Waals interactions; lattice models; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; DFT; density functional theory;

   Sammanfattning : In order to theoretically study large and complex systems, a variety of approaches that can be categorized loosely as top-down or bottom-up are followed. While our vision is to bridge the gap between these approaches and use them together in multiscale materials modeling, the present thesis is limited to give examples of each type of approach in the study of soft-matter systems.
