  1. 11. Trophic transfer of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) by glacial relicts in Lake Vättern, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Malin Bergman; [2017]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim with the study was to assess if glacial relict amphipods constitute as vectors of transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the Arctic char food web in Lake Vättern, Sweden. Sediment, surface water and biota samples were analysed for PFASs using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and stable isotope analysis of δ 13C and δ15N was performed on sediments and biota samples.

  3. 12. Uniting Science and Democracy: A Comparison of Public Participation Models in Natural Resource Management

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :A. Chloe Begg; [2016]
    Nyckelord :Sustainable Development; Natural Resource Management; Public Participation; Democracy; Knowledge Production;

    Sammanfattning : Given current environmental crises, many citizens have taken personal concern towards the issues and seek to become involved in the solutions. The integration of democracy and knowledge production plays an important role in this situation, in order to include the values and interests of citizens in the traditionally scientifically driven world of natural resource management.

  4. 13. Disarming the 'silent killer' : reducing the vulnerability of Toronto's elderly to extreme heat

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Författare :Rosalind Pfaff; [2016]
    Nyckelord :sustainability science; vulnerability; Toronto; elderly; heat wave; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Global climate projections forecast more frequent, intense and longer heat waves in the decades ahead. Heat waves are considered the most dangerous extreme weather event for human health, with impacts most pronounced in cities because of the urban heat island effect. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Urban Renewal Investment: : A CASE STUDY OF HAMILTON, ONTARIO

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Fastigheter och byggande

    Författare :Tyler Wilson; [2016]
    Nyckelord :Urban Renewal; Investment; Development; Risk; Return;

    Sammanfattning : Urban Renewal activity can be attributed to the reuse and intensification of tertiary areas. Past research suggests areas of regeneration can perform at par and/or better then prime property sectors. Policy initiatives lowering perceived risk, attracting investment is conditional to the unique characteristics of renewal areas. LÄS MER

  7. 15. A new model and tests of the JEM-EUSO Balloon pathfinders Fresnel optics

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Författare :Abraham Neftali Díaz Damián; [2016]
    Nyckelord :Cosmic Rays; Fresnel Optics; Extensive Air Showers; Instrumentation;

    Sammanfattning : EUSO-Balloon and EUSO-SPB are balloon borne pathfinder projects designed to val- idate the techniques of the JEM-EUSO space observatory. They are nadir pointing UV telescopes that use experimental experimental Fresnel optics to detect the ultravi- olet emission of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) induced by Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) in the atmosphere.
