Understanding energy efficiency in Swedish residential building renovation : A practice theory approach

Examining renovation processes having reduced energy consumption as an explicit goal, this article considers how energy efficiency is made part of renovation processes, focusing on the planning and design phase. Interviews and participant observations of meetings have been conducted. Applying a framework developed in practice theory, we demonstrate the importance of understanding routines, technol

Emergency management in the Swedish electricity grid from a household perspective

This article focuses on households' action space and perceived responsibilities during power outages, and on how municipalities and grid companies understand their own and the households' responsibilities and action space. Results from a case study in the county of Östergötland showed that household responsibilities in terms of preparedness for outages were unclear to the actors. Both municipaliti

Governing the sea rescue service in Sweden : Communicating in networks

This paper discusses how various actors communicate about and coordinate sea rescue activities in networks. We combine a network approach with theories of inter-organization communication to understand how communication can facilitate or limit coordination in networks. Search and rescue officers retain the overall authority to direct rescue missions, and coordination with several other professions

Occupational balance, work and life satisfaction in working cohabiting parents in Sweden

Introduction: Occupational balance is the experience of having the right amount and right variation between work, domestic work, leisure, rest, and sleep. There is limited knowledge about which factors predict parents’ combined occupational balance, and if the combined occupational balance is associated with work and life satisfaction. Aim: The first aim was to explore whether domestic work and ch

Is one carbon price enough? Assessing the effects of payment vehicle choice on willingness to pay in Sweden

Existing knowledge suggests that people's willingness to pay (WTP) for climate change mitigation depends not only on personal characteristics but also on the payment vehicle (PV) that is used to elicit WTP. The aim of this research is to investigate policy-relevant differences in WTP between different PVs to support the design of carbon pricing mechanisms. The novelty of this contingent valuation

Holy White Lies : Muslim Brotherhood in the West. Case - Sweden

Studien har knappt 900 fotnoter till huvudsakligen primärkällor. I stor utsträckning har material hämtats från offentliga statliga arkiv. Många för rörelsen avslöjande länkar finns inte längre kvar, men författaren har sparat dem i digitala arkiv för framtiden, så att de finns tillgängliga för läsning. Senare ska också en nyskriven svensk studie i samma ämne presenteras av författaren, innehålland

The economic microgeography of diversity and specialization externalities – firm-level evidence from Swedish cities

We employ finely geo-coded firm-level panel data to assess the long-standing question whether agglomeration economies derive from specialization (within-industry), diversity (between-industry) or overall density. Rather than treating the city as a single unit, we focus our analysis on how the inner industry structures of cities influence firm-level productivity. Our results illustrate the co-exist

Analysis of Sharing Economy Services : Initial Findings from Sharing Cities Sweden

In this paper, we analyze different types of sharing economy services. The sharing economy is a wide concept where many types of activities and services can be included. Overall we aim to identify recurrent patterns but also similarities and differences between different types of sharing services. We discuss a multitude of different services, e.g. car pools, bike pools, sharing of tools and equipm

Seve terranes of the Kebnekaise Mts., Swedish Caledonides, and their amalgamation, accretion and affinity

A major allochthon of the Scandinavian Caledonides, the Seve belt has traditionally been considered to be derived from the rifted margin and continent-ocean transition (COT) of Baltica. However, geochronological results obtained from its inferred northern equivalent, the Kalak Nappe Complex (KNC), have been taken to indicate an exotic affinity of this complex and of also Seve terranes, an interpre
