1. 1. Potential and Limitations of the Sketch Map Tool in the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement

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

   Författare :Kimon Letzner; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Disaster risk reduction; Participatory action research; Community risk mapping; International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement; Colombia; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study.

4. 3. Kyliga lösningar för varma städer

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

   Författare :JoAnna Persson; [2023]

   Sammanfattning : Against the backdrop of anticipated increases in both the frequency and severity of heatwaves, this study examines how the municipalities of Malmö and Trelleborg consider future temperature rises. Consequently, the aim of this study has been to explore how heat is perceived as a potential risk in the urban development projects of Nyhamnen and Sjöstaden, and to investigate how the municipalities’ interpretation of the risk concept influences their perception of heat as a risk.

5. 4. Assessment and evaluation of heterogeneity in data from immune infiltration spatial niches in lung cancer

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Författare :Mahta Keivani Najafabadi; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Mathematics and Statistics;

   Sammanfattning : The protein biomarker expressions in three types of sampled immune INFILTration spatial niches in lung cancer tissue were measured using the new technology Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The three types of immune INFILTration that were observed in lung tumors were STROMA identified as immune cells separate from tumor cells, Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) identified as dense structures of organized immune cells and finally Infiltraterate where immune cells dispersed among and in direct contact with tumor cells (INFILT).
