1. 6. Human Centred Design for Maritime Safety: A User Perspective on the Benefits and Success Factors of User Participation in the Design of Ships and Ship Systems

   Författare :Nicole Almeida Costa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; domain knowledge; co-design; design decisions; participatory design; maritime safety.; sociotechnical systems; integration; participatory ergonomics; user centred design;

   Sammanfattning : For over six decades, Human Centred Design (HCD) has been considered a desired design approach for the implementation of Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E) knowledge and methods for understanding the needs of the end-users. Although other comparable frameworks exist, they can be seen as subcategories or as tools for HCD, as HCD is considered by some as an overarching approach. LÄS MER

3. 7. Environmental Assessment of Emerging Technologies: The Case of Alternative Transport Fuels

   Författare :Karl Jonasson; Karl Hillman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; environmental assessment; biofuels; transport; LCA; sustainable development; technological transitions; technology path assessment; alternative fuels; socio-technical scenarios; life-cycle assessment; technological systems;

   Sammanfattning : There are several methods to evaluate the environmental performance of new technologies. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the methodological development of environmental assessments, with contributions from life-cycle assessment (LCA), theories on technical change and socio-technical scenarios.

4. 8. Industrial Dynamics: A Multilevel Study of the Swedish IT Industry

   Författare :Magnus Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; spin-off; start-up; imprinting; Sweden; information technology; organizational ecology; venture capital; industrial dynamics; industrial agglomeration; inertia;

   Sammanfattning : The first Swedish information technology (IT) organizations were founded in the 1950s, but it was only in the early 1990s that the number of organizations in the IT industry started to grow. In the late 1990s, growth took off rapidly, peaking when the stock market bubble burst in March 2000. LÄS MER

5. 9. A Virtual Design Studio for Low-Frequency Sound from Walking in Lightweight Buildings

   Författare :Nata Amiryarahmadi; Sweden Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lightweight floors; Walking sound; Low frequency; Annoyance; Virtual design studio;

   Sammanfattning : In recent years there has been a growing interest for building lightweight multistorey woodenresidential buildings in countries like Sweden with large and renewable forests. While positive aspectsof these buildings, such as sustainability, ease of construction and lightness, motivate building more inwood, poor acoustic performance is a risk which concerns the wooden-building industry.
