1. 16. Interdependence of resources

   University essay from KTH/Stadsbyggnad

   Author : Maria Andersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Sami community; resources; ecologies; nomad; exploited land; reindeer herding; commons;

   Abstract : The demand for natural resources is increasing, leading to more exploitations in northern Sweden. This project is situated in the region of Norrbotten, which is currently undergoing significant transformations due to continued mining activity, energy production, and forestry. READ MORE

3. 17. Cosmological Horizons and the Unruh Effect

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

   Author : Niklas Engelhardt Önne; [2023]
   Keywords : Unruh effect; quantum scalar fields; Bogoliubov transformations; accelerated observers; Minkowski spacetime; cosmological horizons; Rindler observers; special relativity; QFT; Unruh-effekten; skalära kvantfält; Bogoliubov-transformationer; accelererande referenssystem; Minkowski rumtid; kosmologiska horisonter; Rindlerobservatörer; speciell relativitetsteori; QFT;

   Abstract : The black hole information paradox, which states that the evaporation of black holes due to Hawking radiation results in a violation of the conservation of quantum information, is arguably one of the most fundamental problems in all of modern physics. Through the equivalence principle, the essence of the problem can be understood and studied in the context of much simpler flat spacetime (described by the theory of special relativity); in this context the Hawking radiation takes the form of the so-called Unruh effect, a thermal effect in the vacuum of a Minkowski quantum field theory that can be measured by accelerated observers.

4. 18. Influence from temperature variations in stacking fault energy on the mechanical properties of stainless steels

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Christopher Hallén; Marcus Johansson Storne; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This paper investigates the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of austenitic stainless steels and how they relate to the material property of stacking fault energy (SFE) and its relation to temperature and nickel content. Austenitic stainless steels are commonly used and well known for good mechanical properties and deformation characteristics. READ MORE

5. 19. “When you see me, weep” : The archaeology of the hunger stones of Europe.

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Arkeologi

   Author : Ivan Odbratt; [2023]
   Keywords : Hunger stones; Climate change; Memory; Archaeology;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the phenomenon of hunger stones and their resurgence due to climate change-induced droughts, shedding light on their evolving societal significance. The initial focus lies on understanding the origins of the term and exploring how humanity has historically adapted to and remembered climatic transformations. READ MORE

6. 20. Future of Sustainable Mobility in Nordic Winter Cities : An explorative study of sociotechnical imaginaries

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Moa Ribjer; [2023]
   Keywords : Winter Cities; Sustainable Mobility; Society Transformation; Sustainable Transition; Mobility Systems; Sociotechnical Imaginaries; vinterstäder; hållbar mobilitet; samhällsomställning; hållbar transformation; mobilitetssystem; sociotekniska föreställningar;

   Abstract : The thesis aims to explore future mobility system alternatives in the context of “winter cities” to achieve a more sustainable society. This is done by interviewing a broad range of mobility experts - encompassing those focused on cities in the northern regions and those with global expertise. READ MORE
