2. 21. Understanding processes and travel behaviour changes connected to electric vehicle adoption

   Author : Joram H.M. Langbroek; Joel P. Franklin; Yusak Susilo; Jilian Anable; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : The use of electric vehicles (EVs) has the potential to increase the sustainability of the transport system, especially in case of unchanged or decreased car use, eco-driving and charging during hours of low electricity demand in case of an electricity generation mix with a large share of renewable energy sources. However, EVs still use much energy and EV-use does not solve problems regarding accessibility, social equity, traffic safety and has only a limited beneficial effect on liveability (e. READ MORE

4. 22. Applications of Systems Thinking within the Sustainability Domain : Product Design, Product Systems and Stakeholder Perspectives

   Author : Rafael Laurenti; Björn Frostell; Mattias Lindahl; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Systems Thinking; Sustainability; Product Design; Product Systems; Stakeholder Perspectives; Unintended Consequences;

   Abstract : Many of the sustainability challenges our society currently face have arisen as unanticipated side effects of our own modern developments. This thesis investigates if unintended consequences and perspectives are fully addressed by traditional methods for providing decision-making support within the sustainability domain. READ MORE

5. 23. Insulin and growth hormone : regulation of adipocyte metabolism during infancy and childhood

   Author : Ashraf Fawzy Kamel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : human; rat; development; adipocytes; lipolysis; lipogenesis; glucose transport GLUT1; GLUT4; insulin; insulin receptor; growth hormone; growth hormone receptor microdialysis; obesity; Prader-Willi syndrome;

   Abstract : The aim of the present investigation was to investigate the role of insulin and growth (GH) in adipose tissue metabolism during development. Lipolysis and lipogenesis were studied in isolated adipocytes from humans and rats of various ages. READ MORE

6. 24. Flexibility from local resources: Congestion management in distribution grids and carbon emission reductions

   Author : Nima Mirzaei Alavijeh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flexibility; local energy system; local flexibility market; emission abatement strate- gies; congestion management; distribution system operator;

   Abstract : Flexibility from local energy systems has been discussed as a facilitator for the transition towards a more carbon-neutral energy system. Two use cases of this flexibility are congestion management in electricity distribution networks, and an individual-driven reduction of carbon footprints. READ MORE

7. 25. New apheresis techniques in transplantation

   Author : Gunilla Kumlien; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The shortage of organs for transplantation is a global problem and therefore it is of outmost importance to increase the number of donations and improve long term graft survival. As an effort to increase kidney donations, living kidney donors are being increasingly used and both patient and graft survival is superior after living donation compared with kidney transplantations using organs from deceased donors.
