  1. 1. Feasibility of reintroduction of European Bison (Bison bonasus) to Sweden with focus on traffic accidents

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Författare :Michael Topszewski; [2023]
    Nyckelord :wildlife-vehicle collision; risk prediction; reintroduction feasibility; european bison; Bison bonasus; moose; Alces alces; Human-wildlife conflict;

    Sammanfattning : The historical occurrence of European bison (Bison bonasus) in Sweden during the early Holocene emphasizes the ecological significance for a potential reintroduction. The European bison, the largest herbivore on the European continent, is a keystone species with a significant influence on ecosystem dynamics. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Defect intention : the specific challenges faced by women in open source that may predict (or influence) their intention to leave an open source software project/community

    Magister-uppsats, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för industriell ekonomi

    Författare :Ivanna Altena; Georgi A. Markov; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Diversity; Equity; and Inclusion; Open source; Open source software; Women in Open Source; Defect intention; Intention to leave; Multiple regression.;

    Sammanfattning : Background Open source is largely accepted as an important innovation driver in the technology industry. Even though inclusion and diversity is beneficial for the success of technology projects (including open source software projects), many statistics are pointing out that diversity in open source is even worse than in the technology sector in general.

  4. 3. How Activist Claims Can Help Explain Intensity of Violence in Environmental Conflicts : Evidence from Colombia

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

    Författare :Tove Lexén; [2021]
    Nyckelord :natural resources; environmental conflict; civil war; ethnic identities; Colombia;

    Sammanfattning : Why do activists in some environmental incompatibilities experience a high intensity of violence, while protesters in other environmental conflicts do not? To answer the query, this thesis presents a novel theoretical argument where it is stated that the type of legal claim posed by activists impacts the intensity of violence that they receive. Due to a ‘relational citizenship’-mechanism, activist claims that are similar to secessionist demands are suggested to negatively provoke state elites’ security provision, with the consequence of a higher intensity of violence, ceteris paribus.

  5. 4. Towards the Use of Satellite Data in Security Policy-Related Prediction

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för visuell information och interaktion

    Författare :Mary Chrishani Jayaweera; [2021]
    Nyckelord :satellite imagery; earth observation; remote sensing; nighttime lights; conflict prediction; time series; intercalibration; big data; cloud computing; machine learning;

    Sammanfattning : Inadequate economic data makes it more difficult for its incorporation in security-policy related prediction and there is a need for alternative datasets. Satellite data, more specifically nighttime lights data, can be used as a proxy for the economy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Analysis and Simulation Study of Stochastic Time-To-Collision as a Severity Measure in Traffic Security

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Författare :Per Niklas Benzler Waaler; [2020]
    Nyckelord :time; collision; ttc; stochastic; probability; transform; transformation; traffic; data; under; estimation; post; encroachment; mixture; distribution; simulation; study; encounter; conflict; trajectory; prediction; road; user; safety; severity; surrogate; measure; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : Traffic accidents are extremely rare, creating the need for surrogate methods for safety analysis that makes efficient use of the information provided by traffic conflicts, which also are limited in availability. The severity measure time-to-collision (TTC) in combination with extreme value theory have so far been one of the primary measures used to infer traffic safety levels, but it relies on unrealistic assumptions that results in severity measures that do not always agree well with observed danger.
