   Author : André Hansson; [2023]
   Keywords : vital societal function; VSF; critical entity; CE; vital societal entity; VSE; critical infrastructure; CI; critical flow; prolonged outage; electricity supply disruption; preparedness; total defence; civil defence; civil preparedness; crisis preparedness; grey zone; critical entities resilience; CER; hybrid warfare; energy security; societal resilience; cascading effect; dependencies; interdependencies; long-term disruption; power outage; power disruption; consequences; outage; samhällsviktig verksamhet; kritisk infrastruktur; totalförsvar; beredskap; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study investigates Swedish critical entities (CEs) ability to maintain function during up to three months of electricity supply disruptions. It also examines possible improvement measures, and how contextual cases (grey zone, heightened state of alert, war) influence CEs’ ability to maintain function during electricity supply disruptions.

3. 2. Investigation of different ventilation profiles to avoid stratification in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Alazne Irene Varela Santana; [2023]
   Keywords : stratification; water model; comfort; mixing; temperature; potential energy; net zero energy building;

   Abstract : This research paper examines possible solutions for the problems that warm air heating is suffering in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. These NZEBs are passive houses constructed to have high energy efficiency where the quantity of power used is equal to the power created annually, produced locally or in the surroundings by renewable energy sources.

4. 3. Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring using MODIS Time Series: A Case Study in California

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : Julia Edje; [2023]
   Keywords : vegetation recovery; MODIS; HRT; EVI; fire; burn severity; land cover; climate zone; California;

   Abstract : Human-caused forest fires have increased in magnitude and frequency, affecting global vegetation and requiring a re-evaluation of fire regimes. Changing fire regimes have led to reduced burned areas in fire- dependent ecosystems and increased areas in fire-independent ecosystems, resulting in changes in land cover and posing a threat to native plant communities.

5. 4. Moral Hazard and Banking Risk, a Euro Area Analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Emanuel Skeppås; [2023]
   Keywords : Moral Hazard; Capital regulation; Risk; Ownership Influence; Bank Charter; Profitability; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : The study investigates the effects of capital regulations on risk-taking within the Euro- zone banking sector from 2013 to 2019, specifically focusing on the impact of moral hazard stemming from bank charter value and ownership influence. Previous research suggests both bank charters and ownership influence can prompt different risk behaviours and po- tentially influence the effectiveness of capital regulations. READ MORE

6. 5. The climate impact of fishways : A life cycle assessment of Blyberg’s and Spjutmo’s up- and downstream fishways

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Author : Ellen Lundin; Lovisa Liljenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : LCA; life cycle analysis; life cycle assessment; fishways; fish; fish migration; climate impact; technical fishways; co2 equivalents; co2 eq; hydro power; HPP; Sweden; construction; concrete; reinforcement steel;

   Abstract : The Swedish national plan for reapproval of hydropower describes that hydropower plants (HPPs) are required to be reassessed to ensure that modern environmental conditions are set for the permits. Since dams and HPPs create barriers for migrating fish and consequently disfavor biological diversity, one consequence of the national plan is that fishways are being constructed. READ MORE
