Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- From Fanger's seminal work on thermal comfort in the 1970s, standards governing temperatures in the workplace enshrine clothing level calculations based on full business suits, and building regulations developed using only male metabolic data, locking in a default male perspective. Even later work that highlights gender biases with regard to metabolism calculation, inclusive of both genders has focused on younger women, and the voices of older working women are missing from this discourse. We invited women over 45 to explore what they find important in workplace thermal comfort, and how devices and interfaces might meet their needs and also encourage thermal adaptivity. Our study highlights factors such as 'fresh air', and the importance of empathy to fellow inhabitants. We bring new voices to the thermal comfort discourse which supports reducing energy use in the workplace, improving thermal environments and ensuring the needs of a diverse, aging workforce are considered.

- Oleaginous yeasts have emerged as a sustainable source of renewable oils for liquid biofuels. However, biodiesel production from them has few constraints with respect to their cell disruption and lipid extraction techniques. The lipid extraction from oleaginous yeasts commonly includes dewatering and drying of cell biomass, which requires energy and time. The aim of this work was to establish a process for the lipid extraction techniques from wet biomass applying acid catalyzed hot water, microwave, rapid ultrasonication-microwave treatment together with conventional Bligh and Dyer method. In the wake of testing all procedures, it was revealed that rapid ultrasonication-microwave treatment has great potential to give high lipid content (70.86 % w/w) on the cell dry weight basis. The lipid profile after treatment showed the presence of appropriate quantities of saturated (10.39 ± 0.15%), monounsaturated (76.55 ± 0.19%) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (11.49 ± 0.23%) which further improves biodiesel quality compared to the rest of methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of using rapid ultrasonication-microwave treatment for the lipid extraction from wet oleaginous yeast biomass in the literature.

Model-Driven Alignment : an Empirical Study
- 2014

- Current advancements in the business arena necessitate more than ever before the alignment of The Business and IT in organizations, which has been acknowledged as a complex issue to address. Our research is aimed at systematically addressing the linkage between business strategy and information systems (IS). We propose a model-driven approach for alignment, by leveraging the influence of established business strategy formulations from Strategic Management, and model-driven principles used within IS. The objective of this paper is to present the results of an empirical investigation carried out in Sweden on the linkage seeking to obtain insights from practitioners about the relevance of the problem, as well as of our model-driven proposal to address it.

Exploring Risk-Awareness in istar models
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The i* modeling technique focuses on an early-phase of requirements engineering aiming at understanding how a system would meet organizational goals, how it would fit within the organizational context, why would it be needed and why should it be preferred among other possible alternatives. Analysts are able to understand early the organizational context that bridges system requirements to organizational goals. However, it is not clear how uncertainty, potential threats and opportunities are taken into account both when developing a strategic dependency model and a strategic rationale model, to facilitate a continuous risk management. This paper proposes a set of guidelines for refining i* models based on risk

New methods and environmental indicators supporting policies for sustainable consumption in Sweden : Final report – PRINCE phase 2
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Preface The first PRINCE programme (Policy Relevant Indicators for Consumption and Environment) ran between 2014 and 2018 with the goal of exploring ways to improve and expand the set of consumption-based indicators to estimate the environmental pressures linked to Swedish consumption, both within Sweden and abroad. The PRINCE programme was finalised 2018 with a report: https://www.naturvardsverket.se/globalassets/media/publikationer-pdf/6800/978-91-620-6842-4.pdfMore information is available at the web site: https://www.prince-project.se/This current one-year project, known as PRINCE 2, is a so-called add-on to the PRINCE programme, to communicate the results further, especially the scientific articles produced, and reflect on how to further improve the measurement of impacts from consumption. The goals of PRINCE 2 have been to communicate the results and the PRINCE programme to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and other key stakeholders, to summarize the use of PRINCE results in policy and other areas, to further develop data and indicators in the areas of fisheries, tropical deforestation, biodiversity and chemicals with a view to establishing new indicators for measuring environmental pressures from Swedish consumption.The project was financed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s (Naturvårdsverket) environmental fund (miljöforskningsanslaget) where the main aim is to finance research and produce knowledge for the benefit of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management.This report is written by Nils Brown from Statistics Sweden, Simon Croft Stockholm Environment Institute York, University of York, Elena Dawkins from Stockholm Environment Institute, Göran Finnveden from KTH, Jonathan Green from Stockholm Environment Institute York, University of York, Martin Persson from Chalmers University of Technology, Susanna Roth from Statistics Sweden, Chris West from Stockholm Environment Institute York, University of York, and Richard Wood from Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
