1. 1. Conceptual runoff models - fiction or representation of reality?

   Författare :Jan Seibert; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Validation; conceptual runoff models; calibration; uncertainty; TOPMODEL; HBVmodel; groundwater levels; spatial distribution; topography; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Hydrology; hydrologi;

   Sammanfattning : Available observations are often not sufficient as a basis for decision making in water management. Conceptual runoff models are frequently used as tools for a wide range of tasks to compensate the lack of measurements, e.g., to extend runoff series, compute design floods and predict the leakage of nutrients or the effects of a climatic change.

   Sammanfattning : Flooding is of great concern world-wide, causing damage to infrastructure, property and loss of life. Low-income countries, in particular, can be negatively affected by flood events due to their inherent vulnerabilities. Moreover, data to perform studies for flood risk management in low-income regions are often scarce or lacking sufficient quality. LÄS MER

4. 3. Authenticity and its Contemporary Challenges : On Techniques of Staging Bodies

   Författare :Franziska Bork-Petersen; Lena Hammergren; Gabriele Brandstetter; Ramsay Burt; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; techniques of the body; staging; self; authenticity; Menschenbilder; The Swan; Germany’s Next Topmodel; cosmetic surgery; Enlightenment; models of identity.; Theatre Studies; teatervetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis I investigate what ‘authenticity’ means in a contemporary popular context and how it is used in the staging of bodies. Furthermore, I analyse works of dance and fashion from the past fifteen years with a focus on their strategies of challenging the notion of ‘bodily authenticity’. LÄS MER

5. 4. Hydrological Modelling, Topographical Influence and Yield Mapping in Precision Agriculture

   Författare :Andreas Persson; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spatially distributed hydrological modelling; Precision Agriculture; Yield mapping; Topographical wetness index; Drainage area; Lantbrukshydrologi; marklära; agricultural hydrology; Soil Science;

   Sammanfattning : The use of topographical data in hydrological and agricultural applications has increased with GPS data availability and the concept of precision agriculture. This thesis investigates the relationships between topography and in one case simulated soil moisture and in the other case yield. LÄS MER
