  2. 1. Product-service systems: Panacea or myth?

    Author : Oksana Mont; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic systems; economic policy; Nationalekonomi; ekonometri; ekonomisk teori; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk politik; Production technology; Produktionsteknik; economic theory; econometrics; Economics; communal washing centres.; car sharing; systems for sharing power tools and garden-care equipment; product policy; drivers and barriers for companies; servicising; life cycle thinking; Product-service systems; functional thinking;

    Abstract : Life cycle environmental problems have been addressed by a number of strategies. However, the results are mostly lamentable because solutions are searched for within the same paradigms that give rise to the problems. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tool Integration and Safety : A Foundation for Analysing the Impact of Tool Integrationon Non-functional Properties

    Author : Fredrik Asplund; Martin Törngren; Jad El-khoury; Jakob Axelsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tool Integration; Integrated Development Environments; Embedded Systems; Safety Standards; Certification; Qualification; Systems Thinking; System Safety; STAMP; STPA;

    Abstract : The increasing complexity of embedded systems development is becoming difficult to handle with development environments based on disjoint engineering tools. Support for interactions between various engineering tools, especially through automated means, has therefore received an increased amount of attention during the last few years. READ MORE

  5. 3. Existential design : the "dark side" of design thinking

    Author : Anne Britt Torkildsby; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Textiles and Fashion General ; Textil och mode generell ;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to discuss ways to open up the brief in designing for extreme environments, such as intensive care units and remand prison. Focusing on „designials‟ (fundamental forms of design being), the methodology intends to illustrate that things; objects may directly impinge on certain „existentials‟ (fundamental forms of human being).

  6. 4. Performance Measures of Road Infrastructure - A Life Cycle Thinking Approach

    Author : Babak Ebrahimi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road infrastructure; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Lifetime Estimation; Geographic Information System GIS ; Life Cycle Thinking LCT ; Material Flow Analysis MFA ;

    Abstract : Roads have been an important asset of human society and the approach we adopt towards planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining of the road infrastructure has significant consequences in the long-term for not only the humans, but all species on planet Earth. Hence, the lifecycle performance of the road infrastructure that sustain our socioeconomic development with a low environmental impact, while fulfilling their technical and functional requirements is of critical importance and needs to be improved.

  7. 5. Existential design : revisiting the "dark side" of design thinking

    Author : Anne Britt Torkildsby; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Textiles and fashion; Textiles and Fashion General ; Textil och mode generell ;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to discuss ways of opening up the design brief when designing for extreme environments such as intensive care units and remand prisons. Focusing on “designials” (fundamental forms of design being), the methodology intends to illustrate the fact that objects may directly impinge upon certain “existentials” (fundamental forms of human being).
