  1. 1. An attempt to promote ground-nesting bees in an urban landscape. Investigating the use of sand beds as a conservation effort.

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Bodil Mattson; [2024-02-16]
    Nyckelord :ground-nesting bees - pollinator conservation - sand beds – conservation in urban parks;

    Sammanfattning : Pollinators provide crucial services for the ecosystems by pollinating around 80-90% of all plants. However, pollinating insects are declining worldwide which may cause a parallel decline in plant species leading to large biodiversity losses. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Data-Driven Reachability Analysis of Pedestrians Using Behavior Modes : Reducing the Conservativeness in Data-Driven Pedestrian Predictions by Incorporating Their Behavior

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

    Författare :August Söderlund; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Data-driven reachability analysis; Autonomous vehicles; Automated safety; Autonomous situational awareness; Datadriven nåbarhetsanalys; Autonoma fordon; Automatiserad säkerhet; Autonom situationsmedvetenhet;

    Sammanfattning : Predicting the future state occupancies of pedestrians in urban scenarios is a challenging task, especially considering that conventional methods need an explicit model of the system, hence introducing data-driven reachability analysis. Data-driven reachability analysis uses data, inherently produced by an unknown system, to perform future state predictions using sets, generally represented by zonotopes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Att förebygga översvämningar med hjälp av konceptet Sponge city : En fallstudie av Hemlingby i Gävle

    Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad

    Författare :Johan Kjell; Filip Nilsen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :climate change; flooding; cloudburst; GIS; city planning; Sponge city; klimatförändring; översvämning; skyfall; GIS; stadsplanering; Sponge city;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is predicted to cause an increase in cloudbursts and heavy precipitation, which makes urban flooding an issue that needs to be dealt with. The term Sponge city is a theory that intends to deal with urban flooding and worsening water quality in urban areas with absorption. LÄS MER

  5. 4. German coal exit : an argumentative discourse analysis of storylines and discourse coalitions

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Amelie Andresen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :German coal exit; coal phase-out act; energy transition; discourse analysis; storylines; discourse coalition;

    Sammanfattning : Germany passed a Coal Phase-out Act in 2020 to reduce carbon emissions and to achieve the objec-tives of the Paris Agreement, at a time when Germany was already phasing out nuclear energy. Thus, Germany faces a dual challenge: not only to break its dependence on coal as a resource, but also the overlap of the phase-outs of nuclear and coal energy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Defossilise Väster – Testing a fossil free urbanity for the debate

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Författare :August Grundtman; [2023]
    Nyckelord :urban design; public space; climate change; transport; walkability; neighbourhood; fossil free; proximity; car free; Arts and Architecture;

    Sammanfattning : Humanity is facing one of the greatest challenges ever. Climate change and global warming is a great risk and our consumption and dependency of fossil fuel are important causes of this accelerating issue. My thesis aims to design an entry for the professional debate about what urban areas in a fossil free future might be like. LÄS MER
