  1. 26. A Pressure-oriented Approach to Water Management

    Författare :Xingqiang Song; Björn Frostell; Ronald Wennersten; Maarten Siebel; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DPR model. DPSIR framework. human-environment. industrial ecology. life cycle thinking. pressure-oriented approach. socioeconomic metabolism. systems thinking. water information. water quality. water quantity;

    Sammanfattning : Without a comprehensive understanding of anthropogenic pressures on the water environment, it is difficult to develop effective and efficient strategies to support water management in a proactive way. A broader systems perspective and expanded information systems are therefore essential to aid in systematically exploring interlinks between socioeconomic activities and impaired waters at an appropriate scale.

  3. 27. Component Based Software - Implications on the Development Process and Modeling Techniques

    Författare :Lars Jakobsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Information Systems; Informatik;

    Sammanfattning : Component based software represents one of the new trends in the software development community. Although many years have passed since the concept of software components was first presented, it has not been a feasible approach until today. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Responsibility in the Supply Chain: Interorganisational management of environmental and social aspects in the supply chain - Case studies from the textile sector

    Författare :Beatrice Kogg; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []

    Sammanfattning : In the wake of preventive thinking, attention has turned towards a life cycle perspective of products. Businesses can no longer ignore the environmental impacts of the products outside the borders of their own facilities. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Assessing District-Heating Sustainability – Case Studies of CO2 Mitigation Strategies and Environmental Cost Accounting

    Författare :Elsa Fahlén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; absorption cooling; biomass gasification; bio transport fuel; policy instruments; carbon dioxide; external costs; combined heat and power; district heating and cooling;

    Sammanfattning : District heating (DH) may play an important role in achieving the EU goal of a secure, competitive and sustainable energy supply. Integrated energy solutions based on technologies, such as biomass gasification for transport fuel, electricity and heat production and heat-driven absorption cooling, create new optimisation possibilities through the linkage between heat, power, cooling and transport fuel markets which may reduce the global warming contribution of the energy sector.
