1. 6. Improved environmental assessment in the development of wood-based products: Capturing impacts of forestry and uncertainties of future product systems

   Författare :Gustav A Sandin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wood; water use; scenario modelling; land use; impact assessment; product development; environmental assessment; end-of-life modelling; sustainability assessment; forestry;

   Sammanfattning : The prospect of reducing environmental impacts is a key driver for the development of new wood-based products. But as wood-based products are not necessarily environmentally superior to non-wood alternatives, there is a need to assess the environmental impact of the product and guide the development process.

3. 7. The effect of competition and ownership policies on the housing market

   Författare :Mikael Atterhög; Hans Lind; Bengt Turner; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental engineering and architecture; Competition; housing companies; public housing; rental housing; tenure forms; privatization; Konkurrens; privat bostadsföretag; allmännyttigt bostadsföretag; upplåtelseform; privatisering; statliga medel; Sverige; internationell; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation consists of five studies presented in seven essays. The overall objectives are to investigate the extent and consequences of competition on the rental housing market as well as the importance of national government policies for the substitute good, i.e. owner-occupied housing.

4. 8. Becoming Biofuels. The messy assembling of resources, sustainability, poverty, land use, and nation-states

   Författare :Marie Widengård; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; biofuels; jatropha; assemblages; governmentality; political ecology; political economy; ethnography; governance; materiality; authority; territory; sovereignty; resources; poverty; sustainability; land use change; states; standards; certification; Africa; Zambia; Mozambique; Tanzania; Kenya; Brazil; EU;

   Sammanfattning : Biofuels have come to represent the will to mitigate climate change by replacing fossil fuels with so-called climate-friendly and renewable plant sources, and to improve rural and poor conditions in the South through biofuel crop production, farm job creation, and smallholder cash cropping. The expansion of biofuels in countries in the South largely pivoted upon ‘the will to develop’, specifically through the oil shrub Jatropha curcas L. LÄS MER

5. 9. Peri-Urban Land Tenure in Ethiopia

   Författare :Achamyeleh Gashu Adam; Peter Ekbäck; Erling Berge; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ethiopia; formal; informal; land tenure; peri-urban; peri-urbanization; Real Estate and Construction Management; Fastigheter och byggande;

   Sammanfattning : Urban areas in Ethiopia have been growing very quickly in recent decades, which haveled to ever increasing demand for land in peri-urban areas for housing and other nonagriculturalactivities. This has had several transformative impacts on the transitionalperi-urban, areas including engulfment of local communities and conversion of landrights and use from an agricultural to a built-up property rights system.

7. 10. The role of vegetation dynamics in the control of atmospheric CO2 content

   Författare :Stephen Sitch; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atmospheric CO2 content; climate change; plant functional types; terrestrial biosphere model; DGVM; vegetation dynamics; land use; land cover change; Plant ecology; Växtekologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis contains a description of the Lund-Potsdam-Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (LPJ-DGVM) and its application to infer the role of vegetation dynamics on atmospheric CO2 content at different time-scales. The model combines vegetation dynamics and biogeochemistry in a modular framework. LÄS MER
