  1. 6. Life cycle assessment of hybrid systems for rural electrification in Bolivia

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sandu Seres; [2021]
    Keywords : Diesel; Stirling; Photovoltaic; impact category;

    Abstract : Bolivia is a developing country in South America. Many rural communities still lack access to electricity. The extension of the National Grid System to all rural communities is not feasible due to economic and topographic challenges as well as the environmental problems that may arise. To tackle these problems, Off-grid solutions are implemented. READ MORE

  3. 7. (Un)paving the Way to Climate Adaptation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Keywords : climate adaptation; stakeholders; adaptive governance; participation; learning; flexibility; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly visible and will have detrimental impacts on society’s health and safety, ecosystems and the economy, especially at the local scale. As a response, municipalities all over the world are setting up climate adaptation strategies, as is also the case in the Netherlands. READ MORE

  4. 8. Management Control for Market-Driven Innovations: The Role of Calculative Practices in a Stage-Gate Development Process

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för redovisning och finansiering

    Author : Olle Boström; Fredrik Moregård; [2018]
    Keywords : Management Control; Calculative Practices; Stage-Gate; Innovation; Market-Driven Innovation;

    Abstract : The perception of how to use management control for innovation has shifted over time, from first being seen as detrimental, to researchers recognising its facilitative potential (Ylinen & Gullkvist, 2014; Chenhall & Moers, 2015). Previous research has investigated the role of calculative practices in an innovation setting, finding that also formal calculative controls can be enabling (Mouritsen, Hansen, & Hansen, 2009; Revellino & Mouritsen, 2015).

  5. 9. Microstructure-corrosion interrelations in new low-lead and lead-free brass alloys

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Emil Stålnacke; [2017]
    Keywords : Brass; dezincification; annealing; detrimental phases; heat treatment; microstructure;

    Abstract : In new low-lead and lead-free brass alloys, it is not understood how the corrosion properties,such as dezincification, are related to material composition as well as annealing temperatureand duration. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap by mapping sixteen annealingconditions and three different brass alloy compositions to their respective microstructure anddezincification performance.
