1. HackerGraph : Creating a knowledge graph for security assessment of AWS systems
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)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
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 geovetenskapSammanfattning : 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
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 StudiesSammanfattning : 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
4. An Examination of Nature-based Solutions for Coastal Adaptation in Southern Sweden
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och SamhällssäkerhetSammanfattning : 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
5. Beavers and environmental flow : the contribution of beaver dams to flood and drought prevention
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : 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.
