2. 11. Energy simulation and life cycle costs : estimation of a building's performance in the early design phase

   Author : Jutta Schade; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

   Abstract : Sustainable development and the protection of the environment are key issues in our society today. The building stock in Europe accounts for over 40% of the final energy consumption, CO2 emissions and generation of waste. A large part of the life cycle performance is determined early. READ MORE

4. 12. Readiness or resistance? : Newly arrived adult migrants' experiences, meaning making, and learning in Sweden

   Author : Afrah Abdulla; Lisbeth Eriksson; Signild Risenfors; Hans-Erik Hermansson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; adult learning; migration; newly arrived migrants; transformative learning; meaning making; citizenship education; social constructionism; etablering; integration; vuxnas lärande; migration; nyanlända migranter; transformativt lärande; meningsskapande; citizenship education; socialkonstruktionism; etablering; integration; Utbildningsvetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis is about newly arrived adult migrants’ meaning making and learning in Swedish society during the two years’ introduction period, after they have received the residence permit. I have specifically studied Arabic speaking adults’ meaning making and learning, by carrying out observations and individual in-depth interviews with 12 migrants. READ MORE

5. 13. Contractors in Green Construction: Relationships to Suppliers and Developers

   Author : Shahin Mokhlesian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; contractor-supplier relationship; relational capability; partnering; innovation; purchasing; vertically-integrated developer; TCE; green construction;

   Abstract : Introduction of green changes in different stages of a construction project are reflected in construction processes and products, and in the relationship between contractors and other firms and consequently in the business model of contractors. The aim of this thesis is to understand and analyse contractors’ collaboration practices with suppliers and clients in green construction projects and processes, and see if there are differences in how contractors collaborate with their clients and suppliers as a result of engaging in green construction.

6. 14. Predictability By Construction : Working the Architecture/Program Seam

   Author : Kurt C. Wallnau; Ivica Crnkovic; Magnus Larsson; Hans Hansson; Clemens Szyperski; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; software engineering; software architecture; software components; quality attributes; Software engineering; Programvaruteknik; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : Contemporary software engineering practice overemphasizes the distinction of software design from software implementation, and designer (“software architect”) from implementor (“computer programmer”). In this contemporary meme, software architects are concerned with large-grained system structures, quality attributes that arise from these structures (security, availability, performance, etc. READ MORE

7. 15. In conversation with simulation: The application of numerical simulation to the design of structural nodal connections

   Author : Jens Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; 3D Printing; Design theory; Structural design; Structural efficiency; Simulation; Peridynamics; Force flux density; Nodal connections; Conceptual design; Steel structures; Design process; Digital design;

   Abstract : The thesis explores methods for integration of structural analysis, design and production in a digital design environment. The somewhat ambiguous title implies the ambition to make such integration in relation to the explorative phase of the design process which is described by Donald Schön as having a conversational character.
