1. 1. HackerGraph : Creating a knowledge graph for security assessment of AWS systems

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Författare :Alexios Stournaras; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Cloud security; Knowledge graph; Attack graph; Vulnerability ssessment; Attack paths; Vulnerable-by-design systems; Cloudgoat; Molnsäkerhet; Kunskapsgraf; Attackgraf; Sårbarhetsanalysis; Sårbara miljöer; Cloudgoat;

   Sammanfattning : With the rapid adoption of cloud technologies, organizations have benefited from improved scalability, cost efficiency, and flexibility. However, this shift towards cloud computing has raised concerns about the safety and security of sensitive data and applications. LÄS MER

3. 2. Exploring the impact of Formica exsecta ants on soil properties above the tree line in northern Sweden

   Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Författare :Filip Pekkari Juto; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Formica exsecta; ant mounds; soil properties; organic matter content; tundra;

   Sammanfattning : Ants are considered ecosystem engineers due to their effect on the soil properties and their ability to alter the flow of energy and nutrients. Many studies have focused on ants in boreal forests,but few have focused on the ant’s effect on the tundra. LÄS MER

4. 3. Influence of surface water availability on the distribution of White Rhinoceros in central Greater Kruger

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :Julie Mauguiere; [2022]
   Nyckelord :White Rhinoceros; Ceratotherium simum; water provisioning; artificial water; ecological processes; habitat selection; spatial ecology; landscape use; KNP; APNR; SAWC;

   Sammanfattning : The population of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) is now declining in the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa due to the intense poaching crisis ongoing since the early 2000s. The need for an efficient conservation effort has never been greater and requires a better understanding of white rhinoceros distribution in the landscape. LÄS MER

5. 4. An Examination of Nature-based Solutions for Coastal Adaptation in Southern Sweden

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Författare :Elizabeth Fiertz; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Green Infrastructure; Resilience; Disaster Risk Reduction; Climate Change Adaptation; Coastal Flood Protection; Erosion Protection; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : While grey infrastructure, such as sea walls, have been the traditional method of mitigating coastal hazards there has been an increasing interest in adapting using natural processes, known as Nature-based Solutions (NbS). As with most places in the world, southern Sweden is facing an increase in coastal hazards due to climate change related sea level rise. LÄS MER

7. 5. Beavers and environmental flow : the contribution of beaver dams to flood and drought prevention

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :Wali Uz Zaman; [2019]
   Nyckelord :beaver dam; beaver pond; environmental flow; flood; drought; GIS;

   Sammanfattning : Before they were driven to near extinction, beavers populated the smaller rivers in Europe, Asia and North America. They are ecosystem engineers, since their dam building activities have a cascading effect on biogeochemistry, hydrology, ecosystem structure as well as biodiversity of the affected and surrounding area.
