It is very common nowadays to speak of an ''information society'' in which control of information or information based knowledge has replaced control over matter as an ultimate source of economic power. The intellectual creations protected through patents, trade marks, copyrights etc constitute often a huge part of the companies' intangible assets. For example, the value of the
The body of international environmental law consists of framework agreements with vague norms that cannot be used in an operative manner. At the same time, sustainable development law promotes an integrated approach to social, economic and environmental issues, including other actors than states, which involves an increased pressure on private actors to take part in the efforts to protect the envi
In this report a generic model for the capture and assessment of end-user requirements and needs, the CREDIT carpenter model, has been developed. The main determinants of the model is the need for the project organisation (including the facilities management organisation) to ensure a thorough understanding of the end-user requirements and needs as well as an assessment through out the project proc
Although Arctic tundra has been estimated to cover only 8% of the global land surface, the large and potentially labile carbon pools currently stored in tundra soils have the potential for large emissions of carbon (C) under a warming climate. These emissions as radiatively active greenhouse gases in the form of both CO2 and CH4 could amplify global warming. Given the potential sensitivity of thes
Central venous catheterisation is one of the most common invasive procedures performed on patients in secondary care. Unfortunately the catheterisation procedure is associated with mechanical complications that both can be life-threatening and may force postponement of life-saving treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy. The use of real-time ultrasound guidance increases success rates and redu
The study makes an inventory of learning opportunities young people were offered in connection with CEI 2016, one of the annual international conferences organized by the NGO named Caretakers of the Environment International (CEI), which year 2016 took place in Aalborg in Denmark. The learning opportunities offered by this transnational learning community are discussed in relation to some essentia
Visioner och framtidsbilder efterfrågas ofta för att motivera och inspirera till samhälleliga förändringar. Sådana visioner kan bygga på politisk förändring eller måla upp bilder av teknisk utveckling som hjälper oss att lösa svåra samhälleliga problem. Den typen av visioner är kanske speciellt viktiga när vi strävar efter en hållbar utveckling, och framför allt ifall vi vill motverka att jordens Different kinds of representations of the future are often asked for in order to motivate and inspire societal change. These envisioned futures can be based on political or behavioural change, or may visualize technical developmentwhich could help us solve complex societal problems. The latter type of epresentation is especially important if we aim for sustainable development, and even more so if
Innovation plays an important role in organization survival and longevity. This is especially true in the retail industry; there is a growing acknowledgment of the role of innovation in retail practice, as maintaining the status quo might prove insufficient, especially for traditional retailers, in addressing the enormous challenges they are facing driven by technological developments and evolving
The alarming rates of extinction and degrading ecosystems call for new means of understanding and accounting for how people depend on nature. Ecosystem services (ES) is a contested but widely applied concept aiming to connect ecosystem functions to human wellbeing and to assess and account for how nature matters in decision-making. More diverse frameworks and ideas of value intended for assessment
Det övergripande temat i denna avhandling är hur normbrott (breaches) kan användas för att belysa blinda fläckar inom designfältet, samt hantera och förvalta den potentiella friktionen som uppstår på ett konstruktivt sätt. Forskningsprojektet som presenteras här består av två delar: Bling?-studierna, som redovisas i licentiatavhandlingen, bifogad i sin helhet i Appendix 2 och Breach!-studierna.I BThe overall theme of this thesis is norm deviations, i.e. breaches, as an approach to illuminating blindspots in the design field in order to handle potential friction that arises constructively. The research presented consisted of two parts: the Bling? studies, which are part of the licentiate thesis, attached in Appendix 2, and the Breach! studies.The Bling? studies present how planned provocati
District heating and cooling systems offer a cost-effective and secure supply of heating and cooling to connected buildings. They are widely recognised as a key solution to decarbonise the building sector due to their high potential of integrating renewable energy sources. The systems traditionally involved generating heating and cooling centrally with distribution through separate pipes before de
Problem Definition: For several hundreds of years, mining in Bolivia has been an important part of the economy. The mining activity has a negative effect on both the environment and the health of the people. Previous studies conducted in the Lake Poopó area show elevated concentrations of heavy metals and ions harmful to people and nature. Also, previous studies indicate that the contamination fro
Förtätning och byggande i urbana miljöer innebär stora utmaningar för alla inblandade parter, stadens invånare, verksamheter och besökare. Låg effektivitet- och produktivitetsutveckling i byggbranschen, tillsammans med ökade miljökrav är ett par av de främsta utmaningarna. Krav på effektiv ytanvändning förutsätter en välfungerande, effektiv logistik och materialhantering, med minimal påverkan på dDensification of cities and construction in urban environments poses major challenges for all parties involved, the city's residents, businesses and visitors. Low efficiency and productivity development in the construction industry, together with increased environmental requirements are a few of the main challenges. Requirements for efficient use of surface demands efficient logistics and mate
The changing customers’ behavior nowadays strongly affects the market situation in any type of industries. Markets are demanding a shorter delivery lead time, shorter product life cycle and higher flexibility to fulfill customers’ expectation.

These books have a large number of readers and are sold in millions of copies around the entire weste
Scientific summary There is a bidirectional relation between climate and vegetation distribution at local as well as global scale. Changes in climate pattern modify the terrestrial vegetation distribution that in turn affects the climate system by altering the balance of radiation, water, momentum, CO2 and other important atmospheric gases. The large-scale changes in vegetation structure and compo
Social Network Games (SNGs) first appeared in Asia in the latter half of the 00s, and soon became a widespread phenomenon all over the world. In the West, US developer Zynga quickly rose to fame with their hit title FarmVille, and now enjoys a nearly monopolistic position among games on Facebook. In Japan as well, the SNG industry has grown at an exceptional pace since its birth and is predicted t
The company, Aimpoint, most important products are red dot sights which are produced in Malmö and Gällivare. These production plants had a demand of doubling their production capacity during 2003 and during 2004 there is a demand of additionally doubling the capacity. The purchasing department has been under large pressure due to the great increase in production volume. Much of the present work at
