Counting beans or moving mountains - the predicament of energy efficiency policy

Many studies identify energy efficiency as the most important and least costly option for reducing CO2-emissions while at the same time contributing to other policy objectives. The main challenge seems to be how to design, implement and evaluate policy to ensure that these opportunities are captured and policy perceived as legitimate. There is often a gap between rhetoric or broadly stated objecti

A European Public Sphere and the Issue of Permeability

The academic discourse on the need for a shared political public sphere at the level of the European Union has in recent years produced the conventional wisdom that such an emerging transnational community of communication is already observable in the mass media. However, the empirical indicators on which this notion is based tend to accommodate parallel national public spheres rather than a genui

Kamerans konsekvenser. En fallstudie av kameraövervakning mot bilbrott i Landskrona

Kameraövervakning utgör en pågående trend i kommuners och privatpersoners kamp mot brottslighet. Föremålet för denna rapport är ett särskilt fall som sedan april 2004 ansluter till denna trend: övervakningen av parkeringsplatsen på Kasernplan i centrala Landskrona. Rapporten utgår från statistik, medierapportering, enkätundersökningar samt etnografiskt material (intervjuer och fältanteckningar)

Analysing societal vulnerability to perturbations in electric distribution systems

Reliable electrical power supply is a requirement for the modern society, therefore it is important to analyse the vulnerability of the electric power system. Network analysis has previously been used to analyse the vulnerability of electric transmission systems, however recent events in Sweden have shown that perturbations in distribution systems also can cause severe societal consequences. Thus,

Multi-organizational Emergency Response Management - A Framework for Further Development

This doctoral thesis suggests a framework for how multi-organizational emergency response management can be understood. A method for collecting and analyzing data on individuals and their interactions has been developed and tested. The method is rooted in social network theory and facilitates further exploration of the complexity associated with responses to emergencies in which various resources

Analysis of the main innovations in directive 2015/1513 on renewable energy

This article assesses the main innovations in the newly adopted Directive 2015/1513 on renewable energy and biofuels in the EU transport sector. It analyses the strengths and weaknesses of this legal framework and reflects on possible future elaborations of the EU approach to renewable energy and sustainable biofuels in the transport sector. These developments must be in balance with the productio

Trace Metals in the St. Louis Aerosol

The elemental composition of the St. Louis aerosol has been investigated at rooftop sites in south and central locations in the city as part of the August, 1973 field season of the Regional Air Pollution Study of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Sampling by 5-stage cascade impactor with backup filter permits analysis by proton-induced x-ray emission (PIXE) of size fractions of aerodynamic

Measurement of the Acoustic properties of resilient, statically tensile loaded devices in light weight structures: A measurement method and statistical analysis

Resilient devices are commonly used in lightweight structures to decrease sound transmission in a broad frequency band. Applications of such devices may be found in e.g. resilient mounted ceilings in aeroplanes, ships and buildings. A measurement method to characterise the frequency dependency of the transfer stiffness and the input stiffness of the resilient device is presented. The mechanical ch
