1. 11. Essays on climate policy and agriculture

   Författare :Abenezer Zeleke Aklilu; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is a compilation of four papers that study energy demand, climate policy, production, and carbon sequestration within transport, agriculture and forestry. The four papers study separate topics, but have in common that they address issues that are relevant to Sustainable Development Goals. LÄS MER

3. 12. Sustainable Urban and Regional Development and Related Ecosystem Services and Water-Climate Interactions

   Författare :Jessica Faye Page; Zahra Kalantari; Georgia Destouni; Bev Wilson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; urban planning; regional planning; sustainable cities; nature-based solutions; climate change; planning support systems; sustainable development; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

   Sammanfattning : To accommodate a growing global population while mitigating climate change, urban areas must grow while minimising environmental impacts. To achieve this, a city must be treated as a complex socio-ecological system in which many actors and subsystems act in unclear and unpredictable ways. LÄS MER

4. 13. Surface chemical behaviour

   Författare :Marie Wickman; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The objective of the investigations included in this thesisis to show how the properties of alkyd resins, used as bindersin offset printing inks, affect the ink in terms of pigmentdispersion, emulsification of fountain solution, and inksetting.The interactions between alkyd resins and aqueous solutionshave been investigated by interfacial tension measurementsusing the pendant drop technique and by measurement of dropletsize using light diffraction.

5. 14. Environmental compensation using Resource Equivalency Analysis (REA) and Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA): is it just for the birds? : determining whether society is better off following resource-based compensation

   Författare :Scott Cole; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Environmental compensation is the provision of natural resources through a restoration project, which is scaled to ensure the public is compensated for the environmental damage. The European Union (EU) recently implemented the Environmental Liability Directive (ELD), requiring that environmental damage be remediated (restored) so that the affected environment returns to (or toward) its baseline condition and the public is compensated for the initial damage and the losses during the time it takes for the environment to recover (interim losses).

7. 15. High-Pressure Microfluidics

   Författare :Sam Ogden; Klas Hjort; Greger Thornell; Wouter van der Wijngaart; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :phase change; actuator; valve; pump; supercritical fluid; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot mikrosystemteknik; Engineering Science with specialization in Microsystems Technology;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, some fundamentals and possible applications of high-pressure microfluidics have been explored. Furthermore, handling fluids at high pressures has been addressed, specifically by creating and characterizing strong microvalves and pumps.A variety of microstructuring techniques was used to realize these microfluidic devices, e.g. LÄS MER
