  2. 26. Neighborhood environment and physical activity

    Author : Ulf Eriksson; kardiovaskulär epidemiologi och levnadsvanor Allmänmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; walkability; land use; residential density; physical activity pattern; accelerometer; public health; walking; GIS; physical activity; Neighborhood;

    Abstract : Introduction Insufficient levels of physical activity are one of the top contributors to global mortality, and it is an important public health priority to increase the proportion of physically active people in the population. The interest in environmental determinants of physical activity has been rapidly increasing over the past few years. READ MORE

  4. 27. Assessment of crime and safety issues in parks

    Author : Asifa Iqbal; Vania Ceccato; Mats Wilhelmsson; Michael Landzelius; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Green spaces; perceived safety; GIS; hedonic modelling; crime mapping; CPTED; Real Estate and Construction Management; Fastigheter och byggande;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis is to obtain a better understanding of the importance of parks for urban quality, particularly for safety. This is achieved in two ways; first, by assessing parks’ impact on the perceived quality of the urban environment (whether it is incorporated into housing prices or not) in Stockholm. READ MORE

  5. 28. Geo-environmental considerations in transport infrastructure planning

    Author : Caroline Karlsson; Bo Olofsson; Ulla Mörtberg; Joanne Robison Fernlund; João Manuel Coutinho Rodrigues; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Roads; Railways; Geology; GIS; Decision support; Modelling; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Abstract : Transport infrastructure constitutes one of the key factors to a country’s economic growth. Investment in new transport infrastructure might cause potential environmental impacts, and if a project has several alternative corridors open for suggestion then each alternative corridor will have a different impact on the environment.

  6. 29. Writing and revising : Didactic and Methodological Implications of Keystroke Logging

    Author : Eva Lindgren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; English language; writing; revision; keystroke logging; GIS; stimulated recall; precontextual revision; writing development; Peer-based intervention; language awareness; noticing; EFL; L1 Swedish; reflection; Engelska; English language; Engelska språket; engelska; English;

    Abstract : Keystroke logging records keyboard activity during writing. Time and position of all keystrokes are stored in a log file, which facilitates detailed analysis of all pauses, revisions and movements undertaken during writing. READ MORE

  7. 30. Physical process effects on catchment-scale pollutant transport-attenuation, coastal loading and abatement efficiency

    Author : Georg Lindgren; Georgia Destouni; Roko Andricevic; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Efficient pollutant load abatement; groundwater-surface water interactions; biogeochemical cycles; nitrogen; Lagrangian stochastic travel time approach; GIS; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Abstract : Pollutants follow various subsurface and surface water pathways from sources within a catchment to its outlet and may cause detrimental effects on downstream water quality and ecosystems. Along their different transport pathways through a catchment, pollutants may be attenuated subject to different physical and biogeochemical processes. READ MORE
