1. 21. Värmestress i sen dräktighet och dess påverkan på mjölkproduktion, fertilitet och hälsa

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

   Author : Anna Karlstrand; [2022]
   Keywords : värmestress; mjölkkor; sen dräktighet; mjölkproduktion; mjölkavkastning; fertilitet; djurhälsa;

   Abstract : Klimatförändringarna resulterar i allt högre omgivningstemperaturer som i framtiden beräknas stiga ytterligare. Detta utgör en risk för livsmedelssektorn eftersom allt fler värmeböljor är beräknade, vilka kan komma att resultera i alltmer värmestress. READ MORE

3. 22. Ventilation systems in Low Energy Houses: augmentation of mixing in a small-scale water model by generating resonance

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Borja Chocarro de Erauso; [2022]
   Keywords : Stratification; buoyancy frequency; resonance; mixing; passive house; water model;

   Abstract : Some passive houses are provided a warm supply flow inlet coming from a mechanical ventilation system, creating issues of shortcut ventilation as a result of an originated density layer stratification, since the supplied warm air is confined to the ceiling level. In this way, there exist several complaints of thermal discomfort and poor indoor environmental quality in passive houses. READ MORE

   Abstract : Sommaren 2018 drabbades Sverige av den längsta värmebölja som uppmätts sedan 1941. Klimatförändringarna höjer den globala medeltemperaturen och värmeböljorna förväntas bli fler och längre för varje år. De urbana miljöerna växer och därav blir de hårdgjorda ytorna fler. READ MORE

6. 25. Exploring Urban Rainwater Harvesting in the city of Madrid applying GIS based MCDA expert tools

   University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

   Author : Silvia Börjesson Ballesteros; [2022]

   Abstract : Due to climate change, water resources’ scarcity and distribution variability have generated a growing interest in sustainable water management in recent years. In addition, the growing interest in implementing nature-based solutions for urban resilience leads to the development of decentralized water supply systems such as rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) as a complementary resource to conventional centralized water supply systems.
