  1. 1. Management control for sustainability : Activities and procedures for energy management in industrial companies

    Författare :Josefine Rasmussen; Mikael Ottosson; Henrik Nehler; Fredrik Tell; Fredrik Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainability management control; energy management; energy efficiency investments; decision-making; activities and procedures; non-energy benefits; energy-intensive industries; Energiledning; investeringar i energieffektivisering; styrning; beslutsfattande; aktiviteter; procedurer; mervärden; energiintensiv industri;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis takes its point of departure in the important role of the industrial sector in mitigating climate change through a reduced energy use. There is a lack of understanding for how energy management should be organised and implemented in industrial companies. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Young People's "Sustainability Consciousness" : Effects of ESD Implementation in Swedish Schools

    Författare :Daniel Olsson; Niklas Gericke; Chang-Rundgren Shu-Nu; Anna Uitto; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Compulsory school; Adolescents; Education for sustainable development; Pupils’ perceptions; Sustainability attitudes; Sustainability behavior; Sustainability consciousness; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development is approaching its end and it is important to investigate the effects of the efforts to implement education for sustainable development (ESD) nationally, before decisions on forthcoming efforts are made. There are few investigations of the effect of ESD implementation that take a broad approach. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The unseen in between: Unpacking, designing, and evaluating sustainability-oriented labs in real-world contexts

    Sammanfattning : We live in a time of compounding ecological and social change. Given its uncertain and urgent nature, contemporary forms of governance are experiencing tension between controlling the present and nurturing collective capacities to enact transformative change. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The Limits of Control? The Role of Sustainability Control for Constructing Accountability within Organisations

    Författare :Leanne Johnstone; Magnus Frostenson; Tommy Borglund; Sabina Du Rietz; Matti Skoog; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Accountability; accountabilisation process; accountability dynamic; hierarchical accountability; institutional incrementalism; social and environmental accounting; socialising accountability; sustainability controlling; sustainability control systems;

    Sammanfattning : Sustainability control is grounded in pragmatic research traditions which imply that the design of formalised sustainability control systems (de-signed by managers) is enough to ensure strategic plans are met in re-sponse to external accountability demands. Through this, the individualis-ing aspects of control in a hierarchical accountability sense are empha-sised, and the main accountability relationship becomes between the supe-rior and subordinate.

  7. 5. Cavity Field Control for High-Intensity Linear Proton Accelerators

    Författare :Olof Troeng; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Particle Acceleration; Automatic Control; European Spallation Source;

    Sammanfattning : The European Spallation Source will, once fully operational in 2025, be the world's brightest neutron source. The neutrons will be generated by bombarding a tungsten target with protons accelerated to 96\% the speed of light by electromagnetic fields confined in 155 radio-frequency cavities along the world's most powerful linear accelerator.
