2. 1. Advancing Nexus Approaches: insights from practice in support of their operationalisation

   Author : Eunice Pereira Ramos; Mark Howells; Francesco Gardumi; Vignesh Sridharan; Hans-Holger Rogner; Declan Conway; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nexus; Nexus approach; integrated resource assessments; CLEWs; integrated assessment modelling; knowledge transfer; sustainable development; Nexus; Nexus approach; integrerad resursbedömningar; CLEWs; integrerad bedömningsmodellering; kunskapsöverföring; hållbar utveckling; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : The last decade has seen the emergence of a new research theme - the study of the resources Nexus. The “Nexus” refers to considering the functioning of several systems simultaneously, as opposed to one, as the object of research. This perspective reasons that coherent decision-making needs to consider systems' interconnectedness. READ MORE

4. 2. Raising the (roll)bar : exploring barriers and facilitators to research translation in US public health

   Author : Pamela J. Tinc; Kristina Lindvall; Lars Weinehall; Julie Sorensen; Paul Jenkins; Per Nilsen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; implementation science; research to practice; scale-up; Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research; Proctor taxonomy of implementation outcomes; evidence-based practices; stakeholder engagement; rollover protective systems; tractor overturns; farm safety; occupational safety; injury prevention; Public health; folkhälsa;

   Abstract : Background In public health, implementation science work is crucial to protecting the safety and health of populations. Despite this, such efforts have been extremely limited within the specific public health field of occupational safety and health. READ MORE

5. 3. Thinking beyond the Cure : a constructive design research investigation into the patient experience of radiotherapy

   Author : Tara Mullaney; Erik Stolterman; Helena Pettersson; Johan Redström; Jodi Forlizzi; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; constructive design research; patient experience of radiotherapy; actor networks; design experiments; composite methodology; mixed-methods; prototyping; design research; research through design;

   Abstract : This constructive design research dissertation aims to understand how design can be used as part of a composite research approach to generate knowledge about how complex phenomena are composed through their interactions and relationships with various actors, both human and non-human. It has done this by investigating a single phenomenon, the patient experience of radiotherapy. READ MORE

6. 4. Coercion and its Effects : Evidence from the Israel-Palestine Conflict

   Author : Sophia Hatz; Håvard Hegre; Kristine Eck; Allan Dafoe; Yuri Zhukov; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Civil conflict; state repression; counterinsurgency; coercion; Israel-Palestine conflict; Peace and Conflict Research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Abstract : Counterinsurgency, state repression and other forms of coercion have multiple adverse effects. Although a state’s use of threats and force should deter an opposition group, these measures often stimulate resistance. READ MORE

7. 5. Non-intrusive Methods for Mode Estimation in Power Systems using Synchrophasors

   Author : Vedran Peric; Luigi Vanfretti; Xavier Bombois; Cristian Rojas; Mani V. Venkatasubramanian; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Synchrophasors; Phasor measurement units; system identification; mode estimation; electromechanical oscillations; prediction error; signal selection; experiment design; probing; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Real-time monitoring of electromechanical oscillations is of great significance for power system operators; to this aim, software solutions (algorithms) that use synchrophasor measurements have been developed for this purpose. This thesis investigates different approaches for improving mode estimation process by offering new methods and deepening the understanding of different stages in the mode estimation process.
