1. 6. Hydraulic Modelling of Eurasian Beaver Structural Modifications: Implications for Evaluating their Contributions to Natural Flood Management in Scotland

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Maja Christina Pitcairn; [2023]
   Keywords : Beaver reintroduction; Scotland; Flood risk; Natural flood management; Hydraulic modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. READ MORE

3. 7. Economic development in a biodiversity hotspot: what is the jungle worth? : A case study of local understandings of forest use in North Sumatra

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Sydney Laewen; [2023]
   Keywords : Minor Field Study; Sustainable development; Economic development; Natural resource use; Biodiversity; Conservation; Discourse analysis;

   Abstract : Sustainable development as our joint global goal is consensus in the mainstream international arena, in the name of long-term well-being for all living creatures. However economic constraints often limit the choices available to local communities, forcing them to make trade-offs between immediate socioeconomic gains and the long-term sustainability of natural resources.

4. 8. Investigating the potential correlations between metal and metalloid concentrations and soil color : A Minor Field Study on the island province of Marinduque, Philippines

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Ivana Pia Saric Söderholm; Erik Readwin; [2023]
   Keywords : Marinduque; Metal and Metalloid; Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor; Philippines; Soil color; X-Ray Fluorescence XRF ; Filippinerna; Jordfärg; Marinduque; Metall och Metalloid; Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor; Röntgenfluorescens XRF ;

   Abstract : This study was carried out as a bachelor's thesis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology during the spring of 2023, investigating the correlation between the color with the concentration of various metal and metalloids (MMs) in the soil of Marinduque, The Philippines. With a history of mineral exploitation, notably copper and gold, the island has faced persistent environmental challenges, exemplified by the catastrophic waste spills in 1993 and 1996 that contaminated the Boac and Mogpog Rivers.

5. 9. Using Quality Diversity in Genetic Programming to Improve Automatic Learning of Behaviour Trees

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Alexander Willemsen; [2023]
   Keywords : Behaviour Trees; Genetic Programming; Quality Diversity; Gedragsbomen; Genetische Programmering; Kwaliteitsdiversiteit; Beteendeträd; Genetisk Programmering; Kvalitetsmångfald;

   Abstract : One of the main purposes of the fields of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is to develop solutions that can autonomously solve problems. An important part of this is synthesising behaviours of robots. Behaviour Trees are a tree structure that enables combining existing lower level behaviours into a high level behaviour through task switching. READ MORE

6. 10. Sustainable and affordable housing in Nairobi, Kenya : An analysis of challenges and opportunities from the perspective of key actors

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Toyah Eglin; [2023]
   Keywords : affordable housing; sustainable buildings; local implementations; bioclimatic adaptations;

   Abstract : The global urban population is projected to grow rapidly in the coming years, leading to an increase in housing demand that is not always met with adequate supply of quality housing. In the low-and middle-income context of Kenya, this gap has led to the proliferation of sub-standard housing implementations, with significant social and environmental impacts. READ MORE
