2. 1. Research and reflections on European air pollution policy support models

   Author : Stefan Åström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Economic perspectives; Decomposition analysis; Policy support modelling; Short-lived Climate Pollutants; Climate metrics; Air pollution; International shipping; Economic methodology; Integrated assessment modelling; Cost-benefit analysis;

   Abstract : European emissions to air of SO2, NOx, PM2.5, NH3 and NMVOC still today cause harm to human health and the environment. These pollutants are associated with the premature death of ~400 000 people annually in the EU (25 000 perished in traffic accidents 2017). Improvements are expected but problems will persist.

4. 2. Towards application of service oriented architecture in wireless sensor networks

   Author : Rumen Kyusakov; Zach Shelby; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industriell elektronik; Industrial Electronics;

   Abstract : Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are a foreseeable source of innovation in many fields and the number of WSN deployments is expected to grow rapidly in the near future. One of the key challenges in designing, implementing, deploying and maintaining complex systems that use WSNs is provisioning and integration of sensor data with existing communication infrastructures.

   Abstract : This thesis reads Beck’s Risk Society in the context of nanotechnology and the politicization of failure in the promise of enabling technologies. It aims to investigate how researchers and innovators legitimate nanotechnology in society. READ MORE

7. 5. Change models in need of renewal: Building strategic practice to prevail in industry transitions

   Author : Johanna Pregmark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; change formula; strategic practice; contextual ambidexterity; industry transition; change; renewal; action research; innovation; urgency creativity;

   Abstract : Organizations find it hard to survive industry transitions. To succeed, organizations need to rethink the way they do business and the renewal efforts have to overcome the lock-in created by the organizational system, capabilities and organizational culture. Moreover, in an industry transition a clear view of what to change into is often lacking. READ MORE
