1. 6. Civil Resistance in the Shadow of War : Explaining popular mobilization against dams in Myanmar

   Författare :Kyungmee Kim; Ashok Swain; Jonathan Hall; Dan Banik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Civil resistance; social movement; mobilization; armed conflict; hydropower; dam; identity; indigenous communities; Myanmar; Kachin; Karen; Ta’ang; Statskunskap; Political Science;

   Sammanfattning : Why do some conflict-affected communities collectively resist dam-building while others do not? State-backed development projects such as hydropower dams have been the subject of societal resistance in countries around the world. In armed conflict areas, local populations who organize nonviolent resistance through collective action against these high-impact projects face additional challenges, such as being targeted for violence and coercion by the authorities.

3. 7. Internal Design of a Class of Self-Excited Synchronous Generators

   Författare :Mohamed Wadi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soft Magnetic Composites; Hydropower Plants; Brushless Excitation; Self-Excited Generators; Renewable Energy; Reluctance Generators; Synchronous Generators; Small Hydropower;

   Sammanfattning : INTERNAL DESIGN OF A CLASS OF SELF-EXCITEDABSTRACTWith the increasing trend of distributed generation and the need for alternative and renewable energy sources, self-excited induction and synchronous reluctance generators have attracted more attention for wind, tidal and hydropower applications. This thesis is concerned with the development of a class of self-excited synchronous reluctance generators (SRG). LÄS MER

4. 8. Assessing the sustainability of bioethanol production in different development contexts: A systems approach

   Författare :Dilip Khatiwada; Semida Silveira; Faaij André; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioenergy and biofuel; bioethanol industry; development trend; sustainability assessment; climate change mitigation; energy security; life cycle assessment; systems optimisation; bioenergi och biobränsle; bioetanolindustri; utvecklingstrender; hållbarhetsbedömning; motverka klimatförändringar; energisäkerhet; livscykelanalys; systemoptimering; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

   Sammanfattning : The continuous depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the global agenda on climate change and threats to energy security have led to increased global interest in the exploration, production and utilisation of bioenergy and biofuels. Access to modern bioenergy carriers derived from the efficient conversion of locally available biomass resources is indispensable for economic growth, rural development and sustainable development in developing countries.

5. 9. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics in hydropower applications : modeling of hydraulic jumps

   Författare :Patrick Jonsson; Gustaf Gustafsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

   Sammanfattning : In present thesis, the Lagrangian particle based method Smoothed ParticleHydrodynamics (SPH) is used to model two-dimensional problems associated with hydropower applications such as dam break evolution and hydraulic jumps. In the SPHmethod, the fluid domain is represented by a set of non-connected particles which possess individual material properties such as mass, density, velocity, position and pressure. LÄS MER

7. 10. The Shepherds of Þjórsárver. : Traditional Use and Hydropower Development in the Commons of the Icelandic Highland

   Författare :Helga Ögmundardóttir; Hugh Beach; Gísli Pálsson; Mark Nuttall; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Land use disputes; local peoples; sheep herding; damming; commons; identity; traditions; nationalism; Þjórsárver wetland reserve.; Cultural anthropology; Kulturantropologi; Kulturantropologi; Cultural Anthropology;

   Sammanfattning : This study explores a damming dispute that has been going on for over four decades in Iceland, about whether a dam, Norðlingaölduveita, should be built in the central highland, near the glacier Hofsjökull and the wetland reserve Þjórsárver, or not.  The study focuses on the local resistance against the dam, led by a group of people in the farming community Gnúpverjahreppur, which has its highland grazing commons in the Þjórsárver area.
