    Author : John Holmberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; harvesting; principles; sustainability; environmental debt; indicators;

    Abstract : In this thesis I have developed science-based description models, concepts, measures and methods for use in the transformation of the societal metabolism towards sustainability. The thesis is based on five papers: In Paper I, we analyse various factors that are important for the design of socio-ecological indicators. READ MORE

  4. 2. Engineering students’ ways of relating to wicked sustainability problems

    Author : Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; John Holmberg; Arnold Pears; Sweden Gothenburg Chalmers University of Technology Department of Applied IT; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Engineering education; Engineering students; Wicked sustainability problems; Sustainable development; Perspective; Phenomenography; Complexity; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis constitutes a part of a larger research effort that aims to provide a theoretical framework for understanding and working with engineering students’ ways of relating to wicked sustainability problems (WSPs) on the basis of conceptual, empirical, and practical considerations. Thus, the project aims to contribute to an understanding of how engineering education can support students in developing the capabilities that they need to actively participate in discussions about sustainable development and to constructively deal with WSPs.

  5. 3. Wicked Problems in Engineering Education : Preparing Future Engineers to Work for Sustainability

    Author : Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; Tom Adawi; John Holmberg; Marie Paretti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wicked problem; engineering education; sustainability; phenomenography; assessment; rubric; design-based research; action research; perspective shift; ill-structured problems; problem-solving; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

    Abstract : Most engineering education today does not adequately prepare students to contribute to sustainability. For example, engineering students often do not learn how to address complex and ill-structured sustainability problems that involve different stakeholders, value conflicts,and uncertainty; such problems are also called wicked problems.

  7. 5. The Syntax of Tenselessness : On Copying Constructions in Swedish

    Author : Anna-Lena Wiklund; Görel Sandström; Lars-Olof Delsing; Anders Holmberg; Jan-Wouter Zwart; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Linguistics; infinitives; pseudocoordination; feature copying; restructuring; tense; underspecification; Lingvistik; Linguistics; Lingvistik; Linguistics; lingvistik;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates three construction types in Swedish where two (or more) verbs display identical inflectional morphology (COPYING) and share one overt subject. The constructions are referred to as (i) T(ENSE)M(OOD)A(SPECT)-COPYING complements, of the form John started and wrote (John started writing), (ii) PARTICIPLE COPYING complements, of the form John had been-able written (John had been able to write), and (iii) PSEUDOCOORDINATIONS, of the form John sat and wrote (John was writing).
