  1. 1. Wells of Conflict : A Qualitative Study on How Groundwater Scarcity Affects Communal Conflict

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning

    Författare :Rebecca Ander; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Groundwater; Water Scarcity; Communal Conflict; Ethnic Conflict; Kenya;

    Sammanfattning : The topic of whether resource scarcity affects conflict has for long been debated in the field  of peace and conflict studies. This study aimed to understand if there is a correlation between groundwater scarcity and communal conflict by answering the research question ‘How does groundwater scarcity affect communal violence in the Arid and Semi-Arid Land of Kenya’.

  3. 2. The potential to use rhizobacteria within agricultural innovations instead of chemical inputs : taking quality and quantity of the crop into consideration

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Författare :Ida Quisth; Isabella Ulfsparre; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Biocontrol; Biofertilizer; Biopesticide; Biostimulant; Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria; PGPR; Quality; Rhizosphere Microbiome; Yield;

    Sammanfattning : Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil bacteria that occur naturally, colonize the roots of plants and can promote plant growth. PGPR isolated and used as inoculum to seed or plants is mostly marketed as a growth stimulant because it facilitates registration and reduces costs, even though PGPR may also serve as biocontrol products.

  4. 3. Managing Domestic Wells in Sweden. Investigating the role of domestic wells in ensuring a reliable drinking water supply and assessing their vulnerability to climate change

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Alice Stenfelt; [2023-08-28]
    Nyckelord :Domestic wells; Individual drinking water supply; Climate change; Sustainable development; Drinking water management; resilience water supply; Climate adaption; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Domestic wells provide drinking water for a significant proportion of the population in Sweden, especially in rural areas where public water supplies are not available (Drage, 2022; Hjerne et al., 2021). Domestic wells typically lack regulation (Gunnarsdottir et al., 2020; Stoll et al. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Författare :Simon Dahl; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Pyrolysis; Recycling; Integration; Modelling; Simulation; Techno-economic; Plastic; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. LÄS MER
