1. 16. Climate Change Effects on Rainfall and Management of Urban Flooding

   Författare :Arun Rana; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Climate Change; Extreme Events; Intensive Rainfall; Urban Drainage; Intensity-Duration-Frequency; Statistical analysis; Flood Management;

   Sammanfattning : Flooding in urban basins is intensifying due to increasing urbanization and climate change and variability. This thesis presents how the effects of climate change and high-intensive rainfall on the urban drainage system and management of flooding in urban areas of were studied in Mumbai, India and Southern Sweden, including Skåne and Gothenburg.

3. 17. Climate in the eastern Mediterranean during the Holocene and beyond – A Peloponnesian perspective

   Författare :Martin Finné; Karin Holmgren; Hanna S. Sundqvist; Georgia Destouni; Neil Roberts; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stable isotopes; U-Th dating; stalagmites; climate variability; flooding history; eastern Mediterranean; southern Greece; Holocene; Pleistocene; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes increased knowledge about climate variability during the late Quaternary in the eastern Mediterranean. Results from a paleoclimate review reveal that regional wetter conditions from 6000 to 5400 years BP were replaced by a less wet period from 5400 to 4600 years BP and to fully arid conditions around 4600 years BP.

5. 19. The effects of haemodialysis and metabolic acidosis on protein metabolism

   Författare :Erland Löfberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :haemodialysis; metabolic acidosis; skeletal muscle; protein metabolism; amino acids; branched-chain amino acids; flooding dose; ribosomes; glucocorticoids;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic renal failure and uraemia are characterised by gradual loss of renal function with an accumulation of metabolic and toxic waste products as well as disturbances in several organs and hormone functions. Two factors affect the catabolism in renal failure - i.e., the haemodialysis procedure and metabolic acidosis. LÄS MER

7. 20. Deltaic Dilemmas : Ecologies of Infrastructure in New Orleans

   Författare :Joshua Lewis; Henrik Ernstson; Nik Heynen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Infrastructure; New Orleans; resilience; historical ecology; urban ecology; disturbance; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the relationship between water infrastructure, ecological change, and the politics of planning in New Orleans and the Mississippi River Delta, USA. Complex assemblages of water control infrastructure have been embedded in the delta over the last several centuries in an effort to keep its cities protected from floodwaters and maintain its waterways as standardized conduits for maritime transportation.
