1. 16. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea : A Marine Discourse

   University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för konst, kultur och kommunikation (K3)

   Author : Rasha Jazi; [2023]
   Keywords : ecolinguistics; critical discourse analysis; united nations; UNCLOS; marine discourse; oil pollution; high seas; IMO; GESAMP;

   Abstract : The marine environment’s evolving discourse on oil pollution in the High Seas since the 1958 Convention on the High Seas and the Convention on Fishing and Conservation of the Living Resources of the High Seas is of great significance. This research aims to investigate the changes and developments in this discourse, shedding light on the importance of addressing oil pollution and its impact on the marine environment. READ MORE

3. 17. Enabling a sustainable transition of a waterborne transport system : By identifying essential aspects and actors

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Julia Apelgren; Sara Kronvall; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable transition; Waterborne transport system; Transport system; Public transport system; Fossil free fuels; System theory; Passenger ferry; Commuter ferry; Electric ferry; Hållbar omställning; Vattenburet transport system; Transport system; Kollektivtrafik; Fossila bränslen; Systemteori; Passagerarfärja; Pendelbåt; Elektrisk färja;

   Abstract : In light of the emerging consequences of climate change, there is a need for a sustainable transition of the marine sector, including waterborne transport systems, towards implementation of fossil free fuels and technologies. The thesis limits its scope to solely include passenger ferries that are suitable for calm waters and often operates on shorter distances, which are often incorporated in a public transport system and/or archipelago traffic.

4. 18. Phase Unwrapping MRI Flow Measurements

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

   Author : Mio Liljeblad; [2023]
   Keywords : phase unwrapping; computer vision; cine MRI; NMR; flow measurements; velocity encoding; venc; energy minimization; magnetic resonance; cardiac MRI; sinotubuar junction; pulmonary artery; ascending descending aorta; laplacian algorithm; iterative graph cuts; IGC; sequential tree-reweighted message passing; TRW-S; velocity to noise ratio; VNR; retrospective wrapping; energy formulation;

   Abstract : Magnetic resonance images (MRI) are acquired by sampling the current of induced electromotiveforce (EMF). EMF is induced due to flux of the net magnetic field from coherent nuclear spins with intrinsic magnetic dipole moments. READ MORE

5. 19. Comparison of direct Fick's principle and thermodilution for calculating cardiac output in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.Does the assessment of cardiac index and pulmonary vascular resistance differ depending on which method is chosen?

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

   Author : Gabriella Persson; [2023]
   Keywords : Pulmonary arterial hypertension; cardiac output; direct Fick´s principle; thermodilution;

   Abstract : Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an uncommon but serious disease that causes increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which in turn leads to right heart failure. At diagnosis, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) must be >20 mmHg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15 mmHg and PVR >2 Wood units (WU). READ MORE

6. 20. Propulsion efficiency with energy saving devices for vessels

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

   Author : Samuel Östlund; [2023]
   Keywords : ESD; Energy saving device; Maritime; Kongsberg; Pre-swirl stator;

   Abstract : Due to global warming, all industries must do everything they can to prevent temperature increases. In this bachelor thesis, the reader will get a description of how the marine industry is tackling the environmental problem and more precisely what a vessel can be equipped with to reduce fuel consumption.
