1. Forest edges in boreal landscapes - factors affecting edge influence
Abstract : The boreal forest in Fennoscandia has been subjected to major loss and fragmentation of natural forests due to intensive forestry. This has resulted in that forest edges are now abundant and important landscape features. Edges have documented effects on the structure, function and biodiversity in forests. READ MORE

3. Designing the Edge : An Inquiry into the Psychospatial Nature of Meaning in the Architecture of the Urban Waterfront
Abstract : The initial goal of this effort is to develop a discussion on urban design process and thinking that acknowledges the needs of places with meaning in the design of the urban waterfront. The thesis addresses the fact that the problematic of the coastal formulation is intricate, comprising not only aspects related to the spatial organization and design of its domain but also shared properties originated by the presence and movement of the perceiving subject in the area.

4. Living on the edge : effectiveness of buffer strips in protecting biodiversity on boreal riparian forests
Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the ecological consequences of buffer strip retention on riparian and terrestrial biodiversity. Earlier studies on forest buffer strips have evaluated their effectiveness in relation to water quality and aquatic biota. However, forests along streams are species rich habitats for many organism groups. READ MORE

5. Edge orchestration for latency-sensitive applications
Abstract : The emerging edge computing infrastructure provides distributed and heterogeneous resources closer to where data is generated and where end-users are located, thereby significantly reducing latency. With the recent advances in telecommunication systems, software architecture, and machine learning, there is a noticeable increase in applications that require processing times within tight latency constraints, i.
