During the last decades, the use of wood as construction material in multi-story buildings has increased in Europe. Compared to conventional concrete buildings, wood buildings are more sensitive to dynamic loading at low frequencies. Also, the response to dynamic loading is in general more difficult to predict for wood buildings, given a certain degree of accuracy. This is a consequence of the com
Since 2010, the Chilean government has backed a progressive increase of non-conventional renewable energies sources (NCRES) to put forward the country's energy independence from fossil fuels, and therefore from imports, and to reduce its CO2 emissions. The analysis of the final energy consumptionchanges via a structural decomposition analysis, based on the Input-Output Tables for Chile in the peri
The Paris Climate Agreement defined an ambition of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels. This has triggered research on stringent emission reduction targets and corresponding mitigation pathways across energy economy and societal systems. Driven by methodological considerations, supply side and carbon dioxide removal options feature prominently in the emerging pathway liter
This paper revisits the Power Resource Theory by testing one of its more influential claims: the relation between the strength of the labor movement and the reduction of industrial conflicts. Using panel data techniques to analyze more than 2,000 strikes in 103 Swedish towns we test whether a shift in the balance of power towards Social Democratic rule was associated with fewer strikes. The focus
Cities are well-positioned to realize both sustainable development goals and humanrights. Policy implementation, delivery of public services, and the reproduction of inclusivesocieties take place in cities, where 80 per cent of global GDP is generated (SDSN 2016:11). Cities are also home to extreme poverty, socio-economic disparities, unsustainablepatterns of consumption and production, and human
