  1. 1. Declining Democracy, a Case of Democratic Backsliding or Careening?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Clara Feikes de Groot; [2024]
    Keywords : Democratic decline; Visegrád Four; Democratic backsliding; Democratic careening; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : Trends show a decline in democracy in the CEE region which has mostly been analyzed through the democratic backsliding paradigm. However, recent scholars have proposed another perspective for this trend, the careening paradigm. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluating Methodological Considerations and Quality Standards in People Analytics: A Scoping Review and Bibliographic Analysis

  5. 4. Examining the protective services of mangroves at a regional scale in Indonesia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Mikaela Gomez; [2022]
    Keywords : Mangroves; Nature-Based Solutions; Disaster Risk Reduction; Exposure; GIS; Remote Sensing; Science General;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves.

  6. 5. Vectorization of the Jacobi method with single- and multiple right-hand sides

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematikcentrum; Lunds universitet/Matematik (naturvetenskapliga fakulteten)

    Author : Patrik Paaso; [2022]
    Keywords : C ; Vectorization; SIMD; DUNE; VCL; Vc; Jacobi method; Jacobi iteration; discrete Poisson s equation; Stationary iterative methods; Computational science; Optimization; Numerical analysis; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Vectorization has been an important consideration for scientific com- puting performance for a long time. Early super computers were designed around vectorization, the so called ”vector computers”, but recent trends point toward favouring other computer architectures, and vector comput- ers are much more rare than they used to be.
