The purpose of this thesis is to explore how differences in morality polarizes the debate of what the function of the university should be, and how that might indicate a potential organizational crisis for Lund University. The study is primarily based on the case concerning the removal of teacher Johan Grant, that took place at Lund University in the fall of 2019. The thesis intends to expand know

District heating and cooling systems have been undergoing continuous development and have now reached the fifth-generation. In this innovative technology, connected buildings share local excess energy that otherwise would be wasted, which consequently reduces primary energy demands and carbon emissions. To date, the issue of implementing fifth-generation district systems on existing buildings has

The Urban Systems and Dynamics group, led by Prof. Nik, advances the boundaries of Building Physics to explore the complex interactions between buildings, urban systems, and climate. Our research focuses on designing and optimizing strategies for buildings and urban systems (with a big focus on energy systems) that drive the sustainable urban transition and enhance the built environment's resilien

Increasing oil prices and growing environmental concerns in recent years have driven the development of renewable biofuels. Until now, most of the bioethanol production concepts are based on sugar and starch crops as feedstock, while research on second generation of bioethanol concepts is investigating the use of cellulosic biomass such as straw, wood, etc. as feedstock. The first part of the pape

People building their own houses have, at least theoretically, substantial autonomy when choosing, for example, a heating system and windows. In this article, focus is on the process of building new single-family houses and how energy efficiency and energy-efficient technology are incorporated into the building process. The conclusions emphasize energy as only one factor in housing purchase decisi

Recent technologies of district heating and cooling (DHC) systems integrate renewable energy sources and connect multiple heat producers and consumers to the same network. The resulting interactions may therefore cause the fluid in the pipe, or the energy carried by the system, to flow in both directions. This article presents a newly developed analytical method for evaluating the hydraulic states

Forskningsområdet studerar organiseringen av välfärdspraktiker och de aktörer som verkar där, som professionella, men också som klienter, brukare, volontärer, besökare och liknande. Fokus ligger på det sociala arbetet och dess organisationer. Forskningen bygger därmed vidare på en tradition vid Socialhögskolan i Lund att kritiskt granska institutioner och institutionalisering. Området studerar ockThe research area studies the organization of welfare practitioners and the actors who work there, as professionals, but also as clients, users, volunteers and visitors, with focus on social work and its organizations. The research is thus based on a tradition at the Lund University to critically examine institutions and institutionalization. The area also studies professions, professionalization,

In the coming renewables-based energy transition, global electricity consumption is expected to double by 2050, entailing widespread end-use electrification, with significant impacts on energy efficiency. We develop a long-run, worldwide societal exergy analysis focused on electricity. Our 1900–2017 electricity world database contains the energy carriers used in electricity production, final end-u

Det finns lösningar för att göra samhället oberoende av fossil energi. Men för att kunna tillämpa dem behövs tvärvetenskaplig forskning och samverkan inom områden som hållbara bränslen och termisk energi, systemstudier, samt elektrifiering och energilagring – där profilområdet har spetskunskap.There are solutions for making our society independent of fossil fuels. But to be able to apply these solutions, interdisciplinary research and collaboration are needed in areas such as sustainable fuels and thermal energy, system studies, electrification, and energy storage – which are fields of excellence of the profile area.
