In the European human-dominated landscapes, large carnivores have recently experienced a return to many areas where they were previously extirpated. The degree of this recovery however varies importantly throughout the continent, and the factors causing this difference remain largely undocumented. I attempted to shed light on this pattern of recovery by developing models of the distribution of the
Plastic pollution is a severe global problem and every year approximately 368 million tons of plastic is produced. Both terrestrial and marine environments are impacted and hundreds of species affected. Marine plastic debris accounts for a weight of 268 940 tons and affects hundreds of marine species through habitat degradation, entanglement and ingestion. Microplastics (MPs) are a type of plastic

An ever-growing problem is the increasing amount of microplastics in the sea and how they affect marine organisms. Microplastics are small pieces of plastic that are between 0.1 - 500 micrometres. They are divided into primary and secondary microplastics. Primary microplastics are those plastics that are intentionally produced to be microplastics. Secondary microplastics are generated from larger
Climate change alterations in precipitation patterns, coupled with rapid urbanization are posing a great challenge for city planners and storm water engineers alike. The traditional approach for flood mitigation, with ever-larger pipes and barriers, are slowly being replaced by the implementation of natural elements, also called blue-green elements, in the urban environment. This thesis aimed to c
Distinguishing between people's voices is something the human brain does naturally, using only frequencies picked up by the inner ear. The field of speaker recognition is concerned with making machines do the same thing using digitally sampled speech and data processing. The processing extracts relevant information about the speech from the high dimensional acoustic data which can help the mac
Non-native trees are common in urban environments all over the world. From a conservation viewpoint, it is essential to understand how these trees are affecting urban breeding birds. Non-native trees house fewer and smaller invertebrates than native trees do and are considered a poor food source for insectivorous birds. Still, studies are lacking on exactly how non-native trees affect birds’ feedi

Neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons from neural stem cells, persists throughout life but with a rapid reduction during aging. With such a reduction, decline in cognitive abilities and the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases are imminent. It is, therefore, important to better understand the role of key factors involved in the reduction of neurogenesis during aging. Microglia, the brain-
Cost efficiency is important in the society and more or less relevant in most building projects. When designing fire safety in a building, cost/benefit analyzes can form a basis for decision-making, in order to provide proposals for the most cost-effective solution for the object. In this report a model for calculating cost/benefit is developed. The proposed model is an Excel-tool that can be used
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the ongoing refugee ‘crisis’ in the EU, arguing that the EU’s approach towards the refugee issue largely speaks for the establishment of a new phase of migration in Europe. As opposed to the previous phase in the aftermath of the Cold War where a common European refugee policy was evident, today, each of the Union’s member-states seems to emphasize on i
