1. 1. A computational model of metapopulation dynamics and organism-mediated nutrient flow

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Amanda Hansson; [2023-08-07]
   Keywords : computational model; population dynamics; metapopulation dynamics; nutrient flow; simulation; spatially explicit; individual-based;

   Abstract : The aim of this project was to assess, using in-silico experiments, how different life history char-acteristics, such as age at maturity and dispersal ability of individuals, influence the dynamics of a metapopulation. To achieve this, a novel model of a spatially explicit metapopulation, with organ-ism-mediated nutrient flow between fragmented habitat patches, was implemented by means of computer simulations.

3. 2. Modelling Micropollutant Removal Through Ozonation in Wastewater

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Maximiliano Andrés Oportus Foster; [2023]
   Keywords : Micropollutants; water reuse; wastewater treatment models; ozonation; computer modeling; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Proper management of water resources is a key to climate change adaptation and resilience in modern societies. Adequate treatment of wastewater is essential for ensuring the sustainability of the water cycle and the health of the environment and the ecosystems that inhabit it. READ MORE

4. 3. The Municipal Equalization System and its Implications for Economic Growth and Efficiency

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Evelina Sundin; Evy Dufvenberg Ivarsson; [2023]
   Keywords : The Municipal Equalization System; Income Equalization; Cost Equalization; Sweden; Fiscal Federalism; Economic Efficiency; Marginal Effects; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : This paper investigates the correlation between Sweden's municipal equalization system and economic growth and efficiency for the years 2005 to 2022. This paper uses panel data for all 290 municipalities and a fixed effects model to study the two main parts of Sweden's municipal equalization system: the income equalization system and the cost equalization system.

5. 4. Optimization of an energy system in rural Thailand

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Axel Lund; Mattias Malmberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Rural energy; Thailand; Microgrid; Biomass; Solar PV; Sustainable development goals; Minor field study; stand-alone; HOMER pro; Landsbyggdens energi; Thailand; Microgrid; Biomassa; Solceller; Hållbara utvecklingsmål; Minor field study; fristående energi system; HOMER pro;

   Abstract : By 2020, Thailand ensured 100% electricity access to its 72 million inhabitants. This was partly done by promoting off-grid energy systems in rural areas instead of using costly grid extensions. READ MORE

6. 5. Effect of Mycorrhizal Inoculation on Growth and Nutrient Uptake by Leek (Allium porrum) fertilized with Inorganic N Combined with Saturated Polonite

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Emmanuel Owusu Boateng; [2023]
   Keywords : Phosphorus; Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi; Saturated polonite; Nitrogen; Allium porrum; Sustainability; circular economy;

   Abstract : The continuous rise in global population continues to increase the demand for food. Meeting this rise in demand requires an increase in agricultural input, such as applying fertilizers, including phosphorus (P). READ MORE
