11. MobiLeak : Security and Privacy of Personal Data in Mobile Applications
Sammanfattning : Smartphones and mobile applications have become an essential part of our daily lives. People always carry their smartphones with them and rely on mobile applications for most of their tasks: from checking emails for personal or business purposes, to engaging in social interactions via social networks, from trading online or checking their bank accounts to communicating with families and friends through instant messaging applications.

12. The flux of extraterrestrial matter to Earth as recorded in Paleogene and Middle Ordovician marine sediments
Sammanfattning : This thesis aims at reconstructing events in the solar system, mainly collisional events in the asteroid belt, by searches for extraterrestrial minerals in Paleogene and Middle Ordovician marine sediments on Earth. Recent empirical evidence show that Earth has experienced a few brief periods during the Phanerozoic when the flux of extraterrestrial matter significantly increased. LÄS MER
13. Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions from modern and ancient plant DNA
Sammanfattning : Palaeoecological studies on lake sediments and peat archives have provided fundamental knowledge about past environments, nevertheless, a lot remains to be learned. In this thesis, I focussed on plant ancient DNA extracted from sedimentary archives (sedaDNA), in combination with DNA from living trees with the aims of: (1) investigating different extraction methods and levels of inhibition in sediments, (2) investigating postglacial recolonisation history of Norway spruce in Fennoscandia, (3) comparing different sequencing and bioinformatic approaches to investigate past flora changes using sedaDNA and investigating past flora change in contrasting environments (southern Italy versus southern Sweden), and (4) communicating my work more broadly using art.

14. Experimental Investigations of High Pressure Catalytic Combustion for Gas Turbine Applications
Sammanfattning : This work is devoted to generate knowledge and high quality experimental data of catalytic combustion at operational gas turbine conditions.The initial task of the thesis work was to design and construct a high pressure combustion test facility, where the catalytic combustion experiments can be performed at real gas turbine conditions.

15. Changes in Hydrological Risk Perception and Implications for Disaster Risk Reduction
Sammanfattning : Economic losses caused by hydrological extremes, such as floods and droughts, are exacerbating because of increased anthropogenic activities and global environmental changes. Understanding how individuals and communities interact with hydrological extremes thus becomes fundamental to develop effective strategies for disaster risk reduction. LÄS MER
