To replace wholeheartedness I introduce a heuristic account for deliberation and decisions. I will show that introspective activity can lead to the individual having two types ‘introspec

This project is an collaboration with Höganäs AB, with the goal to design a light vehicle that meets the demands of the modern commuter, in function as well as in quality and sustainability. The result of the project is a light scooter using Höganäs E-Drive system, with Hydrogen Fuel Cells as the power source. The vehicle is designed to be adaptable to the user, while still being comfortable and e

Present power system will face great challenges in several areas depending on the market economy, extensive global integration and constant need for more electric power, which will force the system to operate much closer to its stability limits. Meeting these challenges may involve improving and complementing or even total restructuring of the power systems.New technologies are emerging such as re
