  1. 1. Agonistic Peacebuilding Practices, in Practice? A Study of INGOs Programmatic and Advocacy Work With and For Yazidi Survivors in Northern Iraq

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Charlotta Johansson; [2024]
    Keywords : Agonistic peace; Thick recognition; Peacebuilding; Yazidi community; Iraq; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : After the 2014 invasion of contested areas in Iraq by the so-called Islamic State (IS), the Yazidi community has suffered dire consequences. Genocide, sexual enslavement, forced religious conversion and forced displacement were some of these horrendous acts committed by IS against the Yazidi community and other minorities in Iraq and Syria.

  3. 2. Towards a setup for narrowband terahertz generation through difference-frequency mixing of chirped ultrashort pulses

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Isa Clementsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Terahertz radiation is a useful tool for inducing lower-energy excitations in matter, where it can be used to cause structural changes through direct interaction with the crystal lattice. Sub-picosecond optical pulses can be used to generate intense broadband terahertz pulses through optical rectification in nonlinear crystals, reaching peak electric fields of several MV/m and conversion efficiencies as high as a few percent.

  4. 3. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  5. 4. Street Smarts: An examination of the nature of local media coverage of recent street conversion programs in New York City and Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

    Author : Regan Maureen Kassing; [2023]
    Keywords : streets; public participation; Covid-19; tactical urbanism; New York City; Stockholm; journalism; gator; allmänhetens deltagande; Covid-19; tactisk urbanism; New York City; Stockholm; journalistik;

    Abstract : The twin crises of the Covid pandemic and the climate emergency have led to a need to reconsider the way we use our cities. Many cities have implemented street conversion programs, aimed at shifting away from prioritization of cars in street usage. READ MORE

  6. 5. Explicit consideration of microbes in quantification of gross N rates based on N-tracing model

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Tsai-wei Tang; [2022-01-26]
    Keywords : N-tracing model; microbial biomass; gross N quantification; organic N; mineralization; immobilization;

    Abstract : When studying the nitrogen cycle in soils, the principle of 15N isotope dilution and enrichment is commonly used to measure gross N transformation rates. The measuring data of both organic and inorganic nitrogen substrates are therefore be analysed by Ntrace model. READ MORE
