1. 6. Day or night? Testing thermal imaging technology for estimating ungulate population densities in southern Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Julia Nowak; [2023]
   Keywords : monitoring; ungulates; thermal imaging; population density; distance sampling; Dama dama;

   Abstract : To be able to make a proper judgement and choose the best management or conservation solution when working with populations of wild ungulates or any other wildlife, it is important to obtain good estimates of population densities. Inventing or improving wild animal monitoring methods is a key to protect what may be endangered or to avoid human-wildlife conflicts. READ MORE

3. 7. To be one step ahead: A survey of Swedish municipal food preparedness

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling

   Author : Robin Andersson; [2022]
   Keywords : Civil defence; food preparedness; governance; resilience; responsibility; sustainable development; Civilt försvar; livsmedelsberedskap; styrning; resiliens; ansvar; hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : Officials of varying backgrounds from a sample of nine municipalities in Sweden were interviewed in a semi-structured format regarding the state of their work on food preparedness, challenges and opportunities for working on said topic, as well as the relation between municipalities and national actors related to civil defence. A vast majority of Swedish municipalities were contacted, and the final interviewees were hand-picked from a group of candidates that accepted a request for an interview. READ MORE

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Jonathan Petersson; [2022]
   Keywords : shell galaxies; simulations; starbursts; quenching; mergers; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Galaxy interactions and mergers are natural recurring events in the current cosmological paradigm, events that often coincide with starbursts and enhanced star formation activity. To understand why that is, one can use idealised (non-cosmological) merger simulations, which provide freedom to recreate specific tidally distorted galaxies, and analysis of the time evolution and underlying physics of the star formation activity at a high spatial resolution.
