  2. 1. Complex causality : Bridging analytical sociology and social-ecological systems research

    Author : Rodrigo Martínez Peña; Petri Ylikoski; Maja Schlüter; Karl Wennberg; Carl Nordlund; Edmund Chattoe-Brown; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Causal reasoning; Mechanism-based theorizing; Sustainability; Interdisciplinarity;

    Abstract : Understanding the complexity of social-ecological phenomena like climate change, ocean acidification, and biodiversity loss requires interdisciplinary collaboration. However, scholars that engage in interdisciplinary work face the challenge of grasping other disciplines’ causal reasoning. READ MORE

  4. 2. Designing tools forconviviality : A design led exploration of ParticipatoryActivity Mapping

    Author : Fredrik Sandberg; Sara Ilstedt; Bo Westerlund; Stefan Holmlid; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Convivial tool; design tools; service design; participatory design; space in between; heterogeneous; participatory activity mapping; absent; othering;

    Abstract : This thesis is a report of research work that contributes to the understandingof so-called convivial tools. It does this by describing how small enterprisesuse Participatory Activity Mapping as an approach to changing, as well ascaring about, people and the things that hold their work situations together.

  5. 3. Simplifying complex models : Application of modeling tools in exposure assessment of organic pollutants

    Author : Emma Undeman; Michael McLachlan; Kathrin Fenner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mass balance model; environmental modeling; exposure modeling; bioaccumulation; organic contaminants; emission estimate; plant model; steady state; poly parameter linear free energy relationship; PPLFER; ecosystem susceptibility; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Persistent organic compounds; Persistenta organiska föreningar; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Thousands of chemicals are used in society, but the exposure to humans and other organisms has been measured only for a small number of compounds. Modeling tools constitute low-cost and effective alternatives to measurements for the assessment of exposure. READ MORE

  6. 4. Managing Complex Industrial Projects : A comparison between holistic models

    Author : Joakim Lilliesköld; Torsten Cegrell; Dragan Z. Milosevic; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Project Management; Complex Project; Anatomy; Dependency Diagrams; Other industrial engineering and economics; Övrig industriell teknik och ekonomi;

    Abstract : Even though the management of large projects has been studied for many years, the track record is still poor, especially for those projects developing complex systems. This thesis studies projects such as these and attempts to find clues as to why some succeed while others do not. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structures in complex systems : Playing dice with networks and books

    Author : Sebastian Bernhardsson; Petter Minnhagen; Stefan Bornholdt; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex systems; networks; statistical physics; biological networks; quantitative linguistics; word frequencies.; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Complex systems are neither perfectly regular nor completely random. They consist of a multitude of players who, in many cases, playtogether in a way that makes their combined strength greater than the sum of their individual achievements. READ MORE
