  2. 21. Guiding Sustainability Transitions: Backcasting, Experimentation and Social learning

    Author : Johan Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sustainability transitions; transdisciplinarity; reflexive governance; experimentation; backcasting; Education for Sustainable Development ESD ; social learning;

    Abstract : Sustainability challenges including climate change, social injustice, resource depletion and biodiversity loss are becoming increasingly apparent. These challenges can be understood as partly resulting from unsustainable socio-technical systems in society, assumed to require transitions to become sustainable in time. READ MORE

  4. 22. Phase transitions and vortex structures in multicomponent superconductors

    Author : Karl Sellin; Egor Babaev; Astrid S. de Wijn; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multicomponent superconductors; superconductivity; phase transitions; monte carlo; vortices; vortex structure formation; competing interactions;

    Abstract : Theoretical aspects of multicomponent superconductivity and systemswith competing interactions are studied using Monte Carlo techniques.Motivated by recent experimental and theoretical results of complex struc-ture formation of vortices in multicomponent systems, possible vortex struc-ture formations due to vortex interactions that are not purely attractive orrepulsive are considered.

  5. 23. First-Principles Studies of Materials Properties : Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions & Functional Materials

    Author : Thanayut Kaewmaraya; Rajeev Ahuja; Scheicher Ralph; Naurang Saini; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional theory; Pressure-induced phase transitions; Ab-initio molecular dynamic; hybrid functional; Ab-initio random structure searching; Phase change material; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the first-principles studies of materials properties within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The thesis constitutes three main parts, i. e., pressure-induced phase transitions in solids, data-storage and clean-energy materials. READ MORE

  6. 24. On the Role of Envisioned Futures in Sustainability Transitions

    Author : Alexandra Nikoleris; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; förväntningar; socio-teknisk förändring; framtidsbilder; envisioned futures; sustainability transitions; expectations; structure and agency;

    Abstract : Different kinds of representations of the future are often asked for in order to motivate and inspire societal change. These envisioned futures can be based on political or behavioural change, or may visualize technical developmentwhich could help us solve complex societal problems. READ MORE

  7. 25. Becoming an Adult : Living Conditions and Attitudes among Swedish Youth

    Author : Annika Westberg; Björn Halleröd; Mattias Strandh; Tapio Salonen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sociology; youth; transitions; individualisation; life phase; life-course; welfare state; attitudes; social structuration; Sociologi; Sociology; Sociologi; Sociology; sociologi;

    Abstract : This thesis studies youth from different perspectives. These are the life phaseand the generational perspectives, which have been studied via questions of establishment and individualisation. READ MORE
