1. 1. The Role of Uni- and Multivariate Bias Adjustment Methods for Future Hydrological Projections and Subsequent Decision-Making

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Anna Merle Liebenehm-Axmann; [2024]
   Keywords : Bias adjustment methods; future hydrological climate projections; statistical analysis; future streamflow analysis; biasjusteringsmetoder; framtida hydrologiska projektioner; statistisk analys; framtida vattenförings analys;

   Abstract : Climate models are essential for generating future climate projections. However, due to simplifications, the models can produce systematic differences between output and reality, which is referred to as model bias. Bias adjustment methods aim to reduce this error, which is important for making future projections more reliable. READ MORE

3. 2. The Public, The Police, and The Puzzle of Information

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : William Duggan; Librain Natia Ellis; [2024]
   Keywords : Policing; Public Perception; Safety Science; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : When humans are involved, things can go wrong. This is a statement as factually true and yet dramatically undefined and dangerously ambiguous as any. No matter the industry or domain, where humans interact with other humans, perfect predictability is impossible and a focus on negative outcomes can seem natural. READ MORE

4. 3. If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Jonatan Uusitalo; [2023-08-17]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. This study stands among a few comprehensive dendrochemical investigations that utilized an extensive dataset and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique to reconstruct the contamination history of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, with a focus on Cu.

5. 4. On Systematically Exploring the State Space for Events with SFCs

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

   Author : Younis Akel; Gianmarco Iachella; [2023-08-07]
   Keywords : Autonomous driving systems; scenario-based testing; space-filling curve SFC ; characteristic stripe patterns CSP ; permutations; state-space; areas of interest AOI ;

   Abstract : In the process of developing autonomous driving systems (AD systems), ensuring safety remains a constant and continuous priority. Scenario-based testing is a popular approach to guarantee the safety of AD systems, which however meets challenges in terms of diversity and efficiency of generation, as well as evaluating existing test case datasets in terms of their coverage of the different variations of a particular maneuver.

6. 5. Staying Afloat - Examining the Resilience of the European Inland Waterway Transportation Industry in the Face of Climate Related Disruptions: A Policy and Resilience Analysis

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Linnea Ahlgren; Hibaakh Jamac; [2023-07-03]
   Keywords : Climate Change; Inland Waterway Transportation; Inland Barge Companies; Inland Ports; Policies and Initiatives; Adaptation; Extreme Weather;

   Abstract : Due to its lower emissions in comparison to other modes of transport, inland waterway transportation (IWT) has been increasingly considered a sustainable option by the European Union (EU), prompting a focus on transitioning towards it in recent years. However, the impact of climate change has led to a rise in extreme weather events, including floods and droughts, over the past few decades. READ MORE
