1. 21. Modelling energy demand in the buildings sector within the EU

   Författare :Eoin Ó Broin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Residential; EU; Efficiency; Econometrics; Decomposition; Heating; Scenarios;

   Sammanfattning : In the on-going effort within the EU to tackle greenhouse gas emissions and secure future energy supplies, the buildings sector is often referred to as offering a large potential for energy savings. The aim of this thesis is to produce scenarios that highlight the parameters that affect the energy demands and thus potentials for savings of the building sector. LÄS MER

3. 22. Power Asymmetry Revisited : Reconciling EU Foreign Policy Goals and Enlargement Conditionality in the Western Balkans

   Författare :Jessica Giandomenico; Li Bennich-Björkman; Anna Jarstad; Andreas Bågenholm; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; EU enlargement; EU foreign policy; EU conditionality; power asymmetry; historical institutionalism; path dependence; institutional layering; Western Balkans; Macedonia; elections; Statskunskap; Political Science;

   Sammanfattning : The EU is assumed to have a strong top-down transformative power over the states applying for membership. This leverage is based on a power asymmetry where the applicant states want to join the EU more than the EU wants to enlarge, and that the applicant states gain more than the member states from the enlargement.

4. 23. Det är inte bara att lägga schema : implementeringsformer vid in- och genomförande av flexibla arbetstidsmodeller i kommunernas sociala omsorgsverksamheter

   Författare :Marianne Westring-Nordh; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Man Machine Relation Focusing Gender; Människa-maskin med inriktning mot genusforskning;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation proceeds from studies of introduction and realization of flexible working hour models in municipal social care. It includes two empiric studies, the deep study that covers one flexible working hour model that has been realized in one municipality's care administration. LÄS MER

5. 24. Mechanics-based Design Framework for Flexible Pavements

   Författare :Yared H. Dinegdae; Björn Birgisson; David Newcomb; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mechanics-based; asphalt; fatigue; reliability; traffic; variability; Mekanik-baserade; utmattningssprickor; pålitlighet; lastbilstrafiken; variabilitet; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Load induced top-down fatigue cracking has been recognized recently as a major distress phenomenon in asphalt pavements. This paper presents a mechanics-based design framework in load and resistance factor design (LRFD) format for the top-down fatigue cracking performance evaluation of flexible pavements. LÄS MER

7. 25. The Virtual Language Teacher : Models and applications for language learning using embodied conversational agents

   Författare :Preben Wik; Björn Granström; Olov Engwall; Valerie Hazan; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Language learning; embodied conversational agents; speech technology; computer assisted language learning; computer assisted pronunciation training; Information technology; Informationsteknik; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a framework for computer assisted language learning using a virtual language teacher. It is an attempt at creating, not only a new type of language learning software, but also a server-based application that collects large amounts of speech material for future research purposes.
