  1. 1. Potential and Limitations of the Sketch Map Tool in the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Kimon Letzner; [2024]
    Keywords : Disaster risk reduction; Participatory action research; Community risk mapping; International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement; Colombia; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study.

  3. 2. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  4. 3. Modulating Depth Map Features to Estimate 3D Human Pose via Multi-Task Variational Autoencoders

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

    Author : Kobe Moerman; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D pose estimation; Joint landmarks; Variational autoencoder; Multi-task model; Loss discrimination; Latent-space modulation; Depth map; 3D-positionsuppskattning; Gemensamma landmärken; Variationell autoencoder; Multitask-modell; Förlustdiskriminering; Latent-space-modulering; Djupkarta;

    Abstract : Human pose estimation (HPE) constitutes a fundamental problem within the domain of computer vision, finding applications in diverse fields like motion analysis and human-computer interaction. This paper introduces innovative methodologies aimed at enhancing the accuracy and robustness of 3D joint estimation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Centering farmer perspectives on a dry-fertiliser made from human urine: a case study on Gotland, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Nicola Parfitt; [2023]
    Keywords : circular nutrient economy; human urine fertiliser; ecological sanitation; eutrophication; sustainability science; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : To reduce eutrophication and close the nutrient loop between sanitation and agriculture, innovations to recycle human waste are being further developed. As there is little research on Swedish farmer perspectives towards human urine fertilisers, this study investigates Gotlandic farmer perspectives on a dry-fertiliser derived from human urine, developed by Sanitation360.

  6. 5. Ecological risk assessment of pesticide use in rice farming in the Mekong Delta , Vietnam

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Bubaraye Ohiosimuan Dirikumo; [2023]
    Keywords : Pesticides; Ecological Risk Assessment ERA ; rice farming; Mekong Delta; PRIMET Model; Exposure Toxicity Ratio ETR ; species sensitivity distribution SSD ; predicted environmental concentrations PECs ;

    Abstract : Pesticide use in rice farming is a common practice in the Mekong Delta and poses ecological risks to aquatic organisms, the environment, and human health. This study focused on the ecological risk assessment of pesticide use in rice farming using the PRIMET model as a decision support tool to evaluate the risks of pesticide exposure, ecotoxicity, and risk characterization, as well as employing the species sensitivity distribution (SSD) assessment model to calculate the potentially affected fraction (PAF) of species based on the computed predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) from PRIMET.
