  2. 11. A System Perspective on Energy End-Use Measures in a District Heated Region : Renovation of Buildings and Hydronic Pavement Systems

    Author : Stefan Blomqvist; Louise Ödlund; Patrik Rohdin; Jan Akander; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : A district heating and cooling (DHC) system can be a viable piece of the puzzle in the efforts of reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Especially if the DHC system include combined heat and power (CHP) plants which enable electricity production from renewable resources. READ MORE

    Author : Henrikki Pieskä; Johan Silfwerbrand; Adnan Ploskic; Qian Wang; Sture Holmberg; Sasan Sadrizadeh; Ambrose Dodoo; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Radiant cooling; Geothermal cooling; Energy efficiency; Thermal comfort; Sustainable development; Strålningskylsystem; Geotermisk kyla; Energieffektivitet; Termisk komfort; Hållbar utväckling; Strömnings- och klimatteori; Fluid and Climate Theory;

    Abstract : Sustainable development is increasing its significance in both the scientific and political agenda. In light of this development, the United Nations have published 17 Sustainable development goals (SDGs). READ MORE

  5. 13. Audit teams and audit quality : a sustainable development goal perspective

    Author : Alice Annelin; Tobias Svanström; Stefan Sundgren; Mara Cameran; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; audit teams; team structure; team stress; team distance; team equality; team sustainability;

    Abstract : This dissertation investigates the influence of audit teams on audit quality and produces a conceptual analysis through the perspective of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework (United Nations, 2017). Four articles study four different audit team factors, namely audit team hierarchical structures, team stress, team psychological distances and team equality. READ MORE

  6. 14. Bridging the floods - The role of social learning for resilience building in urban water services

    Author : Åse Johannessen; Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; urban water services; climate change; adaptation; urban transformation; transition; flood risk management; water resources management; disaster risk reduction; resilience; resilient cities;

    Abstract : The development of cities is increasingly threatened by a worldwide water crisis. Urban water services (including drinking water, sanitation and drainage) are facing complex and multiple pressures, which are becoming increasingly frequent and severe. READ MORE

  7. 15. Exploring cellulose as a biomacromolecule for enhanced battery metal ion recovery/recycling

    Author : Billy W. Hoogendoorn; Richard Olsson; Yuanyuan Li; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Aji Mathew; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biomacromolecules; Nanocellulose; metal oxide nanoparticle synthesis; electrodeposition; battery recycling; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The research focused on the effects of integrating nanocellulose in the solidification of metal ions into metal oxide particles or metallic electrodeposits.  Firstly, the cellulose was isolated as highly crystalline ca. 15-25 nm thick and 500 nm long fibers from bacterial cellulose using acid hydrolysis and had a negative surface charge.
