  1. 11. Adaptive reuse and shared spaces as circular business models

    Författare :Rebecka Lundgren; Fastighetsvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; circular economy; shared spaces; Adaptive reuse; sustainability; built environment; circular economy; shared spaces; adaptive reuse; sustainability; built environment;

    Sammanfattning : Circular economy (CE) is still a nascent research field in the built environment, however, has gained traction in the last decade. Despite it being generally accepted that sustainability consists of three dimensions, namely, social, environmental, and economic, CE has been criticised for focusing on environmental and economic impact whilst neglecting the social aspect.

  3. 12. Trading Off between Flexibility and Product Platform Constraints for Effective Technology Introduction

    Författare :Iñigo Alonso Fernandez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Product Development; Systems Engineering; Technology Integration; Model-Based Design; Product Platforms; Flexibility;

    Sammanfattning : Developing product platforms is an established method of reducing internal variety costs while delivering variety to customers.  A critical aspect of a platform, that is expected to be used and extended for many years, is the ability to introduce new technologies and solutions effectively.

  4. 13. Sustainable consumption for policymakers: measuring, learning and acting

    Författare :Elena Dawkins; Viveka Palm; Mattias Höjer; Åsa Persson; Paul Ekins; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainable consumption; environmental pressures; consumption-based indicators; footprint; policymaker; measuring; learning; action; Sweden; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Current patterns and levels of consumption are a key driver of unsustainable resource use and pollution, which contributes to global environmental degradation. Rapid reductions in environmental pressures are required to avoid irreversible loss of fragile ecosystems and social and economic crises. Consumption must become sustainable. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Micro-by-micro interactions : Aggregation dynamics, biofilms, and ecotoxicological impacts of suspended solids

    Författare :Sophia Reichelt; Elena Gorokhova; Rehab El Shehawy; Julien Gigault; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; suspended solids; microplastics; bacteria; biofilm; aggregation; ecotoxicology; microalgae; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing concerns arise regarding the environmental risk of microplastics (MP) and their interactions with biota, prompting numerous effect studies. However, current ecotoxicology methods fall short when it comes to assessing MP impacts. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Improving alternatives assessment of plastic additives : exploring in silico tools to identify less hazardous flame retardants

    Författare :Ziye Zheng; Patrik L. Andersson; Hans Peter Arp; Gregory Peters; Gerrit Schüürmann; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical alternatives assessment; plastic additives; flame retardants; hazard; emission; in silico; modeling; quantitative structure-activity relationship QSAR ; multi-criteria decision analysis MCDA ; environmental science; miljövetenskap; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; ekotoxikologi; Ecotoxicology; Toxicology; toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : Alternatives assessment is applied for replacing hazardous chemicals with viable, safer substitutes. High quality experimental hazard data, however, are usually unavailable for this purpose, and obtaining in silico data is the only approach to fill in data gaps. LÄS MER
