3. How Activist Claims Can Help Explain Intensity of Violence in Environmental Conflicts : Evidence from Colombia
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskningAbstract : Why do activists in some environmental incompatibilities experience a high intensity of violence, while protesters in other environmental conflicts do not? To answer the query, this thesis presents a novel theoretical argument where it is stated that the type of legal claim posed by activists impacts the intensity of violence that they receive.

5. Analysis and Simulation Study of Stochastic Time-To-Collision as a Severity Measure in Traffic Security
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : Traffic accidents are extremely rare, creating the need for surrogate methods for safety analysis that makes efficient use of the information provided by traffic conflicts, which also are limited in availability. The severity measure time-to-collision (TTC) in combination with extreme value theory have so far been one of the primary measures used to infer traffic safety levels, but it relies on unrealistic assumptions that results in severity measures that do not always agree well with observed danger.
