16. Navigating towards the Safe Operating Space: Systems thinking and the SDGs
Sammanfattning : Can the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals be reached within the Planetary Boundaries? This licentiate thesis aims to explore this question by navigating towards the safe operating space, as defined by the planetary boundaries, through integrating issues, disciplines, scales, models and stakeholders. The thesis is a milestone within the European Union financed project “Adaptation to a New Economic Reality (AdaptEconII)”. LÄS MER
17. The Indivisible 2030 Agenda : Systems analysis for sustainability
Sammanfattning : In 2015 the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda with 17 global sustainable development goals (SDGs) to shift the world onto a sustainable path. By referring to the SDGs as indivisible, the Agenda emphasises the interdependence of social and ecological concerns. LÄS MER
18. Perceptual Surface Reconstruction
Sammanfattning : How does the brain transform the 2-D light arrays in our eyes into a meaningful 3-D description of surfaces around us? What assumptions does the visual system make about the world when information is incomplete? And how are these assumptions computationally expressed in this perceptual reconstruction process? These questions, and other aspects of binocular depth perception are analysed from a theoretical and computational perspective, as well as through empirical investigations. In paper one, the fundamentals of stereopsis are briefly reviewed, and the difficulties related with resolving the (stereo) correspondence problem are particularly discussed. LÄS MER
19. Exploring the relevance of uncertainty in the life cycle assessment of forest products
Sammanfattning : The role of forest biomass as a replacement for fossil fuels and products is becoming increasingly prominent as a means to mitigate climate change. To guide a sustainable transition towards a forest-based bio-economy, it is important that advantages and disadvantages of forest products are assessed, to ensure that the products deliver environmental impact reduction.

20. Hydroelasticity in Marine Hull Bottom Panels - Modeling and Characterization
Sammanfattning : The work in this thesis is concerned with the localized problem of hydroelasticity in marine panel-water impacts with an overall aim to increase the efficiency of high-speed craft by application of more refined methods in the structural design. The work mainly focuses on numerical modeling of the hydroelastic problem and therewith related aspects in the modeling and characterization of hydroelasticity. LÄS MER
