Popular Abstract in English Buildings account for almost 30% of global CO2 emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), buildings can be made 75% more efficient by using better design. Globally, every year about half of all new buildings are built in China. In addition, the current lack of comfort level in indoor environments indicates that a large increase in enerThe assumption underlying this thesis is that both technological development and institutional and structural change are required to achieve a more sustainable building sector in China. Earlier literature has taken an approach based on the technological innovation system (TIS) to evaluate and understand the dynamics of technology development and change processes. However, fewer studies have examin

This paper takes as a point of departure the analysis of complex blade industries as a proxy for cultural practices, socially learned and transmitted habits within a human network. Our main objective is to study how traditions and/or habits are protected and reproduced or changed as groups of people are confronted with changed natural and/or social environments. Our case study is the hypothesized

This thesis examines the Oesch class schema in a Swedish context, and tests its ability to unveil cleavages in political preferences. The Oesch class schema operationalizes class by profession. It adds horizontal divisions based on different work logics to the vertical divisions which schemata such as ESEC build on. Two cleavages are thus captured, an economic (left-right) and a sociocultural (lib

Over the last couple of decades, the European Union has enacted several pieces of legislation to improve insight into its agencies and institutions. This trend has been particularly significant for the pharmaceutical industry, as documents submitted to the EMA in order to have medicinal products approved have been increasingly subjected to public access requirements. Most recently, the 2014 regul

Everybody involves stress in everyday life but not everyone handles it well. According to World Health Organization, stress and stress-related disorders are growing and in Sweden these disorders are considered serious public health problems. In this project, I am focusing in finding the way to help people decrease their stress. I developed a product that guides users to deep breathing. This object

Motivated by the rising importance of today’s environmental issues and more specifically the role of energy conservation policies, the current study investigates the Granger causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in eight European countries. Using a large dataset that overall spans from 1800-2009 the study employs the Toda-Yamamoto procedure and cointegration analysis w

Introduction and aim: In SPECT imaging, the finite spatial resolution of the imaging system leads to a blurring of the reconstructed image. Consequently, counts originating from each point in the source distribution will be spread out over a volume in the reconstructed image, leading to spill-over of counts between different structures and distortion of the apparent activity concentration. This pr
