1. 1. Hydraulic Modelling of Eurasian Beaver Structural Modifications: Implications for Evaluating their Contributions to Natural Flood Management in Scotland

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Maja Christina Pitcairn; [2023]
   Keywords : Beaver reintroduction; Scotland; Flood risk; Natural flood management; Hydraulic modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. READ MORE

3. 2. Faradaic Reactions in Capacitive Deionization : A Comparison of Desalination Performance in Flow-through Cell Architectures

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : John Bradley; Miranda Carlström; [2023]
   Keywords : Capacitive deionization; Faradaic reactions; Flow-through CDI; Upstream anode; Downstream anode; Desalination Performance; pH fluctuations;

   Abstract : Capacitive Deionization (CDI) is an energy-efficient desalination technology that utilizes an electric field to extract ions from water. Flow-through CDI systems show potential for superior desalination performance compared to traditional flow-by CDI; however, they face the challenge of increased occurrence of Faradaic reactions, leading to undesired by-products and reduced energy efficiency.

4. 3. Resilient Horizons: Identifying and Overcoming Disruptions in the Semiconductor Supply Chain : From Chip Woes to Chip Wows: Establishing Resilience Strategies in a World of Semiconductors

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Logistik- och kvalitetsutveckling

   Author : Clara Hallin; Marcus Höök; [2023]
   Keywords : Resilience; Strategy; Disruption; Semiconductor; Supply Chain;

   Abstract : Disruptions such as pandemics, demand changes, and geopolitical tensions in the semiconductor supply chain are essential due to their significant impact on all industries and economies worldwide. The semiconductor industry is vital for modern technology, but disruptions can interfere with production and availability. READ MORE

5. 4. Vattenföroreningars påverkan på biologisk mångfald och abundans hos akvatiska evertebrater : en studie i södra Sverige

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Sandra Wiig; Sara Åsberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Abundans; akvatiska evertebrater; biodiversitet; reningsverk; vattenkvalitet;

   Abstract : Föroreningar i landskapets vatten kan spridas genom många olika faktorer, exempelvis via reningsverk, skogsbruk och jordbruk. De organismer som lever i vattenmiljöer kan vara mycket känsliga för de föroreningar som släpps ut, vilket kan leda till allvarliga konsekvenser som förlust av biologisk mångfald och andra förändringar inom dessa samhällen.

6. 5. Life Cycle Assessment as a decision-making tool within vaccine manufacturing – Potential and Limitations

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Simon Deklerck; [2023]
   Keywords : Decision-making; energy intensive industries; Life Cycle Assessment; Life Cycle Inventory; pharmaceutical; Product Footprint Calculator; value chain; vaccine manufacturing;

   Abstract : Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a widely used method for evaluating the environmental impacts of a product throughout its entire life cycle. As a decision-making tool, LCA allows decision-makers to identify the environmental hotspots in a product or process, and to explore opportunities for improvement. READ MORE
