This case explores the interplay between commerce and colonial expansion through the lens of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the 17th century. Tasked with securing profit while navigating geopolitical rivalries, the VOC’s decision-makers faced dilemmas that blurred the lines between trade and conquest. This case places students in the role of the Heeren XVII, the governing board of the VOC,

We document a substantial glass ceiling in the Swedish labor market: women constitute less than 20% within the top 1% of the earnings distribution. Using a structural micro-founded model of a dual earner household with learning-on-the-job, we link this to the child penalty. While on parental leave, women accumulate less human capital on the job, get promoted to a lesser extent, and hence are less

Decarbonizing society will require a shift toward renewable electricity production. However, the temporal configuration of renewables requires that demand adapt accordingly. Introducing intermittent electricity production will thus require end users to be more flexible in their use of electricity. Flexibility capital has been promoted as a concept for analyzing material preconditions in order to u

The mission of the group is to contribute with high-quality research on fundamental issues related to grand societal challenges of globalisation and climate change, such as renewable energy transitions, institutional developments for a global carbon price, and Swedish innovations for sustainability.

Vår forskning utvecklar ny kunskap om arkitekturens och den byggda miljöns disciplin och praktik i syfte att utbilda nästa generation av designutövare. Rumsliga processer av global urbanisering fungerar som en plattform för att undersöka och påverka kopplingar mellan människor, natur, konst, material och teknik. Vår tvärvetenskapliga forskningsstrategi integrerar teorier och metoder från designdiOur research develops new knowledge about the discipline and practice of architecture and the built environment in order to educate the next generation of design practitioners. Spatial processes of global urbanisation serve as a platform to investigate and influence connections between people, nature, art, materials and technology. Our interdisciplinary research approach integrates theories and m

Over the last decade it has been pointed out by several philosophers that not all Status Function Declarations are synchronic: some such declarations are directed toward the absolute past. Such Status Function Declarations are perplexing if one is an ontic realist with respect to institutional properties and states of affairs. If successful, such Status Function Declarations seem to change the abs

Fuel ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials is at a level where commercial biofuel production is becoming a reality. The solubilization of the hemicellulose fraction in lignocellulosic-based feedstocks results in a large variety of sugar mixtures including xylose. However, allowing xylose fermentation in yeast that normally is used for fuel ethanol production requires genetic engineerin

Event-based sampling has been proposed as a general technique for lowering the average communication rate, energy consumption and computational burden in remote state estimation. However, the design of the event trigger is critical for good performance. In this paper, we study the combination of innovation-based triggering and state estimation of nonlinear dynamical systems using the particle filt

This research explores how district heating (DH) sector professionals /employees experience the low-carbon energy transitions-related change processes in the Danish heat supply sector. Enquiry draws upon mixed data collected among DH employees from 148 utilities. Geels’ triple embeddedness framework conceptualizes the connections between regime-level actor experiences of niche- and landscape-level

Institutionen för processteknik och tillämpad biovetenskap bildades i januari 2024 efter en sammanslagning av Institutionen för kemiteknik och Institutionen för livsmedelsteknik. Välkommen till en institution som tar sig an ett brett spektrum av forskningsfrågor, ger utbildningar som är efterfrågade av arbetsmarknaden och samarbetar i en internationell miljö. Många av våra forskare och lärare arbWe were formed in January 2024 after a merger of the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Food Technology, Engineering and Nutrition. Welcome to a department that addresses a wide range of research issues, provides education that is in demand by the labour market and collaborates in an international environment. Many of our researchers and teachers work at the global forefront

Background: There is growing attention and policy debate about the sharing of personal information that the modernization of electricity grids requires. This is particularly important for big data management in smart grids that needs access to data generated and sent through devices such as smart meters. Using the Nordic Countries as a case study, this study investigates the willingness of people
