  1. 1. Planning neighbourhoods for local living. New Urbanism ideas in practice

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för ekonomi och samhälle

    Author : Vejuna Zalalyte; [2023-11-20]
    Keywords : neighbourhood; urban planning; density; mixed-use; walkability; access to services; local living; travel behaviour; behaviourism; New Urbanism;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the effect of New Urbanist planning theory on facilitating sustainable local living behaviours in inner city neighbourhoods. Drawing on the empirical evidence of two New Urbanist neighbourhoods in Lithuania and Sweden, the residents’ everyday lived experiences of the key guiding New Urbanist principles of density, mixed land use and walkability are explored.

  2. 2. Primary Drivers of Sea Level Variability in the North – Baltic Sea Transition Using Machine Learning

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : David Ek; [2023-01-09]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Global mean sea level is rising, however not uniformly. Regional deviations of sea surface height (SSH) are common due to local drivers, including surface winds, ocean density stratifications, vertical land- & crustal movements and more. READ MORE

  3. 3. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
    Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

    Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

  4. 4. A Geophysical Survey of Northern Utö

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : Nicole Flanders; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A geophysical investigation on the northern part of Utö was carried out between 2020 and 2021 to asses the extent of the iron ore (BIFs) and the iron bearing sulfides that have been surveyed and mined in the past. The survey using analog field equipment combined magnetometry, gravimetry, susceptibility, leveling, density, and thin-section microscopy. READ MORE

  5. 5. Population dynamics of the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in forest conservation areas and the interaction with biodiversity and natural enemies

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Evelina Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : spruce bark beetle; population dynamics; conservation areas; biodiversity; natural enemies; species richness; managed forests; woodland key-habitats; nature reserves;

    Abstract : Biodiversity is rapidly decreasing and in need of more conservation efforts. However, the tree-killing European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (L.), has made forest conservation controversial by affecting conservation areas and possibly adjoining managed forests, yet is still a keystone species leaving decaying wood promoting biodiversity.
