1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

   Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

3. 2. Measuring copper abundances in the Galactic Bulge

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Nikolei Höglinger; [2024]
   Keywords : Copper; Galaxy: abundances; Galaxy: bulge; Chemical Evolution; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Context: The chemical evolution of Cu in the Galactic bulge have been studied in a few studies using red giant branch stars, but the ages of individual red giant stars are difficult to determine. In addition, the bulge has been a challenging region of the Milky Way galaxy to obtain high-resolution spectra of stars, except when observing through certain few small fields into the bulge that are known to have low extinction.

4. 3. Relationship between waste management in student accommodation and students' knowledge of waste management in relation to energy transition

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Yong Lin; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Energy Transition; Waste Management; Waste Sorting; Pearson’s correlation coefficient; Student Accommodation;

   Abstract : In the context of the current energy transition and sustainable development, the promotion of waste separation and waste management is a good means of promoting the energy transition. Waste, when recycled, can contribute to the energy transition in many ways, for example by generating electricity, heating, recycling into raw materials for reuse and producing biofuels. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. The Impact of a Digital Regime on Academic Knowledge Production : Implications of learning and practicing knowledge production through a digital regime in Work-integrated Political Studies (WIPS) 2019-2021

   University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ekonomi och it

   Author : Sarad Aryal; [2023]
   Keywords : WIL; WIPS; digital regime; Bernard Stiegler; autoethnography; digital pharmakon;

   Abstract : This autoethnographic case study explores the experience of the digital regime on learning and knowledge production brought about by merging university study and research practice within a single digital regime in Work Integrated Political Studies (WIPS) during 2019-2021. The study provides a detailed account of the nature of learning and producing knowledge through this common digital regime, and its political implications. READ MORE
