1. 26. The political economy of emission standards : politics, business and the making of vehicle emission regulations in Sweden and Europe, 1960-1980s

   Författare :Mattias Näsman; Ann-Kristin Bergquist; Kristina Söderholm; Per Högselius; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; history; car industry; environmental governance; environmental regulation; air pollution; transition; vehicle emissions; transnational; European integration; standards; knowledge creation; linking; delinking; expertise; business power; lobbying; California Effect Hypothesis; ekonomisk historia; Economic History; History; historia; sustainability; hållbarhet;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to an improved historical understanding of the challenges and complexities involved in constructing systems of governance of motor vehicle air pollution. The specific aim of the study is to explore the development of regulatory vehicle emission standards in Sweden between 1960 and the 1980s as well as to analyze this development within its broader European economic, regulatory and environmental policy context by adopting a transnational approach.

3. 27. Towards greener supply chains : Inclusion of environmental activities in relationships between logistics service providers and shippers

   Författare :Uni Martinsen (Sallnäs); Maria Huge-Brodin; Maria Björklund; Joseph Sarkis; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Green supply chain management; inter-organisational relationships; environmental activities; logistics service providers; shippers;

   Sammanfattning : It is well-recognised that companies are under pressure to take responsibility for the environmental impact of their operations. Logistics service providers (LSPs), who through their transport and logistics operations have a large negative impact on the environment, are one type of supply chain actor that is under such pressure.

4. 28. Requirement and Availability of Scarce Metals for Fuel-Cell and Battery Electric Vehicles

   Författare :Ingrid Råde; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metal requirement; sustainability; fuel cells; batteries; platinum; metal scarcity; resources; electric vehicles; metal availability; industrial ecology;

   Sammanfattning : Battery and fuel-cell electric vehicles (EVs) are considered as a means to meet some of the environmental and resource challenges of todays road vehicle system. EVs have the potential for zero tailpipe emissions as well as an energy efficiency higher than internal combustion engine vehicles and they can be flexible concerning primary energy source. LÄS MER

5. 29. The Quest for the Room of Requirement - Why Some Activity-based Flexible Offices Work While Others Do Not

   Författare :Maral Babapour Chafi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Activity-based working ABW ; Appropriation and adoption of innovations; Office ergonomics; Activity Theory; Process evaluation; Occupational Health Safety OHS ; Workspace design.;

   Sammanfattning : The overarching purpose of this thesis is to develop further knowledge of the consequences of relocating to Activity-based Flexible Offices (AFOs). As workspace design innovations, AFOs are increasingly implemented in organisations. AFOs comprise a variety of workspaces for employees to choose from depending on their preferences or activities.

7. 30. Modeling aerosol-cloud interactions in the Arctic

   Författare :Hannah Frostenberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mixed-phase clouds; ice nucleating particles; heterogeneous freezing; Arctic; LES-modeling; parameterization;

   Sammanfattning : Clouds have a large impact on Earth’s energy balance, especially in the Arctic. Through their warming or cooling effect on the surface, clouds can play a critical role in the onset of melting and freezing of Arctic sea ice, which itself has a large effect on energy and moisture fluxes between the ocean and the atmosphere.
