2. 1. Advancing Resilience Practice : Bridging social-ecological resilience theory and sustainable development practice

   Author : My M. Sellberg; Garry D. Peterson; Albert V. Norström; Sara Borgström; Dirk Roux; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Complex adaptive systems; Local and regional planning; Resilience thinking; Social-ecological systems; Transdisciplinarity; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the application of resilience thinking in different real-world settings and research-practice interfaces, for example in the context of natural resource management, local government planning and food systems. The number of cases of resilience practice are growing, including resilience assessments, planning and action, but there are still few scientific studies and even less synthesis across cases.

4. 2. Development and Resilience : Re-thinking poverty and intervention in biocultural landscapes

   Author : L. Jamila Haider; Maja Schlüter; Wiebren Boonstra; M. Jahi Chappell; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; biocultural diversity; coevolution; development; interdisciplinary; Pamir Mountains; poverty traps; resilience; social-ecological systems; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : The practices related to the growing, harvesting, preparation, and celebration of food over millennia have given rise to diverse biocultural landscapes the world over. These landscapes – rich in biological and cultural diversity – are often characterised by persistent poverty, and, as such, are often the target of development interventions. READ MORE

5. 3. Designing for Resilience : Navigating Change in Service Systems

   Author : Vanessa Rodrigues; Stefan Holmlid; Gaby Odekerken-Schröder; Bo Westerlund; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; service design; service systems; resilience; value creation; systemic design;

   Abstract : Services are prone to change in the form of expected and unexpected variations and disruptions, more so given the increasing interconnectedness and complexity of service systems today. These changes require service systems to be resilient and designed to adapt, to ensure that services continue to work smoothly. READ MORE

6. 4. Risk and resilience : An integrated approach for navigating a complex world

   Author : Emmy Wassénius; Beatrice Crona; Peter Søgaard Jørgensen; Avit Bhowmik; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : Risks are all around us, events or situations that could result in undesirable outcomes. Risk assessments are a way to understand and navigate the shocks and stressors we face and to avoid the undesirable outcomes that may come from them. READ MORE

7. 5. Opportunistic Networking : Congestion, Transfer Ordering and Resilience

   Author : Fredrik Bjurefors; Per Gunningberg; Christian Rohner; Mario Gerla; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; NATURVETENSKAP; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; NATURAL SCIENCES; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Opportunistic Networking; Congestion; Transfer Ordering; Resilience; Testbed; WISENET; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot datorkommunikation; Computer Science with specialization in Computer Communication;

   Abstract : Opportunistic networks are constructed by devices carried by people and vehicles. The devices use short range radio to communicate. Since the network is mobile and often sparse in terms of node contacts, nodes store messages in their buffers, carrying them, and forwarding them upon node encounters. READ MORE
