    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transparent wood; biocomposite; eco-friendly; nanotechnology; bio-based polymer; green chemistry; functionalization; thermal energy storage; Transparent trä; biokomposit; miljövänligt; nanoteknik; biobaserad polymer; grön kemi; funktionalisering; lagring av värmeenergi; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Sustainable wood nanotechnologies that combine optical transmittance and mechanical performance are interesting for new functionalities utilizing transparency. Wood is a sophisticated bio-based material with a natural hierarchical, anisotropic and porous structure. READ MORE

  4. 2. Behavior Change Towards a Sustainable Lifestyle – Effects of Interventions and Psychological Factors on Pro-Environmental Behaviors

    Author : Kerstin Weimer; Richard Ahlström; Francisco Esteves; Tommy Gärling; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; values; attitudes; moral judgment competence; locus of control; sense of coherence; pro-environmental behavior; energy conservation; feedback; Relational Frame Theory; motives and barriers to behavior change; food consumption; organically produced food; nudging; värderingar; attityder; moralisk bedömningskompetens; kontroll-lokus; känsla av sammanhang; miljövänligt beteende; energibesparing; feedback; Relational Frame Theory; motiv och hinder för beteendeförändring; matkonsumtion; ekologiskt odlad mat; nudging;

    Abstract : Climate changes due to human-caused global warming are serious challenges for the planet. Changes in individual human behavior towards more pro-environmental actions are thus highly necessary. Human behavior is complex, however, and promoting behavior change requires a solid understanding of how people behave in different situations and contexts. READ MORE

  5. 3. Make It Easier : A psychological perspective on sustainable behavior change

    Author : Noah Linder; Stephan Barthel; Therese Lindahl; Robert Ljung; Patrik Sörqvist; Janne Hukkinen; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pro-environmental behavior; behavior change; intervention; habits; intentions; information; nudge; choice architecture; miljövänligt beteende; beteendeförändring; vanor; intentioner; information; nudge; valarkitektur; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Abstract : Human behavior is the cause of most environmental challenges we face today, and widespread behavioral change is urgently needed across actors and scales. Even though the public perception of the current ecological crisis has changed drastically in recent decades, a corresponding shift in behavior is lacking — unfortunately, mere belief in climate change is a poor predictor of taking action.

  6. 4. Restructured district heating price models and their impact on district heating users

    Author : Jingjing Song; Björn Karlsson; Fredrik Wallin; Hailong Li; Heimo Zinko; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; district heating; restructured price model; price model survey; pricing strategy; consumption profile; consumption pattern; alternative cost; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : District heating (DH) is considered to be an efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective method for providing heat to buildings, since electricity is usually co-generated in biomass fuelled combined heat and power (CHP) plants. This gives it an important role in the mitigation of climate change. READ MORE

  7. 5. Design, Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured Thermoelectric Materials

    Author : Bejan Hamawandi; Muhammet Toprak; MARISOL Martin Gonzalez; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Materials chemistry; Material and Nano Physics; Material- och nanofysik; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The demand for energy is rapidly increasing, triggering more carbon emission and global warming. Alternative green energy sources are essential to secure the future generation from the effect of pollution and global warming. READ MORE
