2. 1. Blue-green stormwater systems for citywide flood mitigation : Monitoring, conceptualization, modeling, and evaluation

   Author : Salar Haghighatafshar; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; blue-green measures; drainage system; flooding; flood mitigation; hydrodynamic modeling; rainfall-runoff; stormwater;

   Abstract : Considering the growth in urbanization, leading to an increase in impervious surfaces, and the changing climate, enhancing the intensity and frequency of rainfall events, existing urban drainage networks—separate or combined sewer systems—are presumed to face substantially elevated hydraulic loads, causing pluvial floods in urban areas. There are several ways to address these challenges. READ MORE

4. 2. Urban, pluvial flooding : Blue-green infrastructure as a strategy for resilience

   Author : Johanna Sörensen; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; urbanhydrologi; pluviala översvämningar; resiliens; blå-grön infrastruktur; socio-teknisk förändring; Urban hydrology; Pluvial flooding; Resilience; Blue-green infrastructure; socio-technical transition;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates urban, pluvial flooding and if blue-green infrastructure, for handling of stormwater in urban green spaces, can be used as a strategy for resilient flood risk management. Spatial analyses of flood claims from insurance companies and the water utility company of Malmö are used to better understand the mechanisms and characteristics of pluvial flooding and how blue-green infrastructure impacts flood risk.

5. 3. Investigations of the influence of physical factors on some marine ecological systems

   Author : Jörgen Öberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecological systems; Modelling; Water exchange; Nutrients; Macroalgae; Cyanobacteria; Zoobenthos;

   Abstract : This thesis is about the conditions for life in the sea. The marine life forms may look disparate, but are joined by their common dependence of the fluid medium which they inhabit. The motion and the properties of the water in the sea largely determine the conditions with which all maritime organisms have to comply. READ MORE

6. 4. Sun exposure, prevalence and localization of common melanocytic naevi in Swedish children

   Author : Maria Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: The rapidly rising incidence rates of cutaneous malignant melanoma call for more effective prevention strategies. Melanoma susceptibility is associated with having many common melanocytic naevi. Having fair skin, blonde/ash-blonde hair and grey/blue/green eye colour are also joint risk factors for melanoma and naevi. READ MORE
