Agnarson, Lars. "Estonia's health geography : West versus east - an ethnic approach." Thesis, Södertörn University College, School of Life Sciences, 2005. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-162.

The purpose with this essay is to explore the social changes in relation to changes in mortality for the two largest ethnic groups in Estonia; ethnic Estonians and the Russian minority. Since this is a geographical essay, my purpose is also to explore these changes in relation to the country’s internal geography. As these changes appear over time in space, the content is partly rooted in a time geographical point of view. It is also rooted in a regional geographical point of view, since I have been comparing the mentioned changes between different areas in Estonia (with considerations on developments abroad).

Two different development lines can be seen as a consequence of the social changes taking place in the 1990s. While the ethnic Estonians situation has improved, the Russian minority’s situation has instead declined regarding to social existence and health. As a result the mortality has increased enormously for the Russian minority. The ethnic Estonians had also a mortality increase in practically all studied causes of death in all studied areas, but this increase wasn’t as high as for the Russian minority. Nevertheless, when comparing two different counties with each other as well as with the country as whole, the pattern seems to be more complicated. The Russians living in the western county of Läänemaa, have been affected more favourably by the social change than those living in the north-eastern county of Ida-Virumaa. Except for mortality by alcohol poisoning, the Russians living in Läänemaa had a much lower mortality increase than those living in Ida-Viruma and even compared with the country as whole.

It seems as those Russians living in the western parts of Estonia have been affected more favourably than those living in the north-eastern parts. These structures are very much depending on the history, since most of the Russians living in the north-eastern area immigrated during the Soviet era, while the western parts had a much earlier immigration of Russians. Considering the time and place of the Russian immigration, one can divide the Russian minority in two groups; those in the west, and those in the east.

Gater, Thomas. "Pharmaceutical Security in South Africa: Law and Medical Geopolitics." Thesis, University of the Western Cape, 2008. http://etd.uwc.ac.za/index.php?module=etd&action=viewtitle&id=gen8Srv25Nme4_5273_1274376650.

The study focuses on the political and economic geographies of pharmaceutical delivery. In 1997 the South African government passed the Medicines and Related Substances Control Amendment Act, sparking outrage from both the local and international pharmaceutical industry, and resulting in court action in 2001. The industry believed that South Africa was in breach of its obligations under international intellectual property law. Those fighting for pharmaceutical security hoped the court case would be a &lsquo landmark&rsquo in the global campaign for equitable access to medicines. This investigation seeks to analyse the domestic and international legacy of the court action. The inquiry takes its significance from the high prevalence rates of treatable diseases and the need for pharmaceutical security in South Africa and its neighbouring African countries. The absence of a sustainable international medicines delivery system is a global political, economic and moral failure. A solution is required that balances the positive productive forces of the market with a philosophy of justice and equity.

Geography and the Environment: Theses and Dissertations

Introduction.

Theses and dissertations are documents that present an author's research findings, which are submitted to the University in support of their academic degree. They are very useful to consult when carrying out your own research because they:

  • provide a springboard to scope existing literature
  • provide inspiration for the finished product
  • show you the evolution of an author's ideas over time
  • provide relevant and up-to-date research (for recent theses and dissertations)

On this page you will find guidance on how to search for and access theses and dissertations in the Bodleian Libraries and beyond.

Definitions

Terms you may encounter in your research.

Thesis: In the UK, a thesis is normally a document that presents an author's research findings as part of a doctoral or research programme.

Dissertation: In the UK, a dissertation is normally a document that presents an author's research findings as part of an undergraduate or master's programme.

DPhil: An abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy, which is an advanced research qualification. You may also see it referred to as PhD.

ORA: The Oxford University Research Archive , an institutional repository for the University of Oxford's research output including digital theses.

Research Aim: This research aims to analyze the impact of natural catastrophes on economic growth and human development. It will assess the socioeconomic effects of the 2011 Fukushima Crisis in Japan. It will show how it affected Japan’s economic growth by affecting the population, production levels, employment, investments, etc.? Moreover, how did it affect the Human Development Index (HDI)? Lastly, it will show how Japan managed to recover from this catastrophe? And what lessons can other countries learn from Japan to mitigate the socioeconomic effects of natural disasters?

Topic 2: How Does Natural Disasters Affect the Geosphere? Calculating the Effects of Earthquakes, Floods, and Volcanic Eruptions on Geosphere in Asia

Research Aim: This study intends to calculate the effects of earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions on the geosphere in Asia. It will find whether there is an empirical relationship between geosphere disturbance and natural disasters? Or changes in the geosphere cause natural disasters in Asia? It will primarily test a causal relationship between natural disasters and geosphere disruption. Moreover, it will show whether there are ways to protect the geosphere or not?

Research Aim: This research assesses the role of geography in promoting/demoting climate change disasters in Sub-Saharan Africa. It will find ways through which geography saves or further exacerbate the climate change situation. It will analyze various natural disasters in Sub-Saharan Africa and see what geography’s role is in protecting or further hurting the population. Lastly, it will see the government’s efforts such as investment in eco-friendly projects, cutting down 〖CO〗_2 and increase in the number of trees to maintain their natural geography.

Research Aim: This study analyzes the role of geo-mapping, sensor data, and big data analytics in bringing land reforms to developing countries. It will review geo-mapping concepts and how sensor data gathered through geo-mapping can be used in big data analytics? Further, it will show how developing countries use geo-mapping and big data analytics to reform their rotten real estate sector. Moreover, comparing their efforts with advanced countries will recommend improving their geo-mapping and land reforms.

Research Aim: This research finds the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in predicting natural disasters and epidemics. It will assess various machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models and big data tools to show how they are used to predict natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, storms, etc. It will test the reliability and efficacy of these model to recommend best models to predict further catastrophes in the future.

Simone Arvid

What was your dissertation about?

My dissertation was investigating the sustainability of ecologically restoring The Dunvegan Estate and The Kinrara Estate in Scotland using a qualitative mixed-method approach. It explored how local context and levels of engagement within planning processes are shaping different stakeholder and local community perceptions. The findings highlighted how complex issues of scale, social constructions and political-historical structures impacts the perceptions and general sustainability of the projects. It also illustrated that potential barriers to inclusive processes included revenues associated with woodland restoration, a disconnection with localism and the impacts of COVID-19.

What skills did you develop (further) during your dissertation research?

Due to the impacts of COVID-19, I had no prior practical experience with conducting research. Furthermore, we were initially restricted to conducting research using online methods, which led me to choose a qualitative mixed methods approach (e.g. surveys and interviews). However, I struggled to collect sufficient data due to the remoteness of both projects and a bias in the design of my survey. It pushed me to re-adjust the design of my methodology, which included in-person fieldwork in October/November as the COVID-19 guidelines changed. Ultimately, the process developed my research skills, creativity and resilience, as I managed to gather substantial data after experiencing significant setbacks.

What was the highlight of your dissertation work?

Conducting fieldwork in-person and getting the opportunity to connect with the local stakeholders on a personal level was a very rewarding and inspiring experience. It allowed me to explore the local culture and project sites, which enhanced my understanding of the place-based contexts and issues. Contributing new knowledge to a contemporary academic and political debate also ensured that the dissertation process was engaging throughout and felt very meaningful to complete.

What was your dissertation about? My dissertation was undertaken to study the contribution of land reform to sustainable development in the Western Isles of Scotland. This was conducted in collaboration with the James Hutton Institute and compared survey data from the National Islands Plan across the different Scottish Island regions; as well as my own interviews in Na h-Eileanan Siar. In an attempt to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of the Community Land Organisations (Community Land Trusts) in the region. The findings were incorporated to provide policy recommendations related to land reform which were presented to representatives of the Scottish Government and Islands Team.

What skills did you develop (further) during your dissertation research? I developed my research skills, both in quantitative and qualitative analysis; and also increased my knowledge in a key area of interest for me; and an area of great importance for policy makers and land managers in Scotland.

What was the highlight of your dissertation work? I think the real highlight for me was getting to see the benefit of my work to the government and interacting with many important stakeholders in this area. It was also really amazing to study an area such as Na h-Eileanan Siar in depth. The culture, the people and their relationship with the land is really inspiring and is something which I think we all could learn from.

I chose to focus my dissertation on the role of urban green spaces in Aberdeen during the ongoing pandemic.

During the first lockdown it was clear to see that people being confined to their own homes led them to seek any opportunity to get outdoors so as to improve their physical and mental well-being. This was supported by Google's 2020 mobility data report which highlighted Aberdeen City as an example of a place showing a particularly large increase in park visitors during this period. I wanted to find out more about why people were deciding to visit green spaces or conversely maybe why there were now less inclined.

Access was a key aspect I focused on to identify the distribution of green spaces across Aberdeen city and find pockets that access could be improved for residents. I created online questionnaires to gather first hand responses of how people had been using green spaces and how maybe that had changed over the past year. The outcome of my dissertation made it clear to see how valuable these green spaces were to residents during the pandemic but also the new challenges which had arisen.

Emma Simpson

My dissertation mapped the groundwater vulnerability to the contamination through pesticides in the Ythan catchment. The river Ythan has a significant amount of baseflow which indicates a strong correlation between the groundwater and the river flow and is under a lot of agricultural pressure. Agriculture is the main identified reason for high pesticide values in the water which led to the area becoming a Nitrate vulnerability zone. Through creating two different models I visualised the most vulnerable zones of the catchment and with that data created a risk map for crops. This shows the areas that have intensive crops farming and are also vulnerable to groundwater pollution. Mapping two models allowed to show the distinctions when emphasising different parameters.

Throughout my research I developed skills in building hydrological models using ArcGIS as well as improved my data management skills. Especially from the data management I learned a lot for future research as I had to create 5 to 7 GIS layers per model and often further layers throughout the process. Another important learning was to extract the important information from the less important and to make choices for my final data set.

The highlight of my work was seeing the final maps and understanding the differences in the models. But also realising how abstract they are but then through creating risk maps can become relevant for stakeholders.

Fingal Summers

My dissertation used modelling to analyse the effect of forestation on reducing river flood peaks in a Scottish upland catchment area. The catchment in questions was the Linne nam Beathach river catchment, Argyll. I created the model using a commonly implemented hydrological modelling software called SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool), using a wide assortment of input data including measured discharge measurements, weather statistics, as well as soil and land use maps. After calibration and validation occurred, I used ArcGIS to manually update the land use map to extend forest boundaries to several different areas. Results showed that increasing forests on this catchment would decrease flood peak scenarios by a small margin.

I developed my skills in hydrological modelling, and in finding data sources for model creation. Furthermore, I had to get used to using a variety of new software and techniques, including the model software itself, and SWAT-CUP, which I used for the crucial step of calibration. More generally I increased my ability in finding creative solutions to difficult problems, and I further developed my Excel skills, such as using keyboard shortcuts to speed up handling of large amounts of data.

The highlight for me was seeing the calibrated model run for the first time and getting results. It had taken a lot of work to get to this point so it was a moment of great satisfaction. Another aspect I enjoyed was the analysis of the final simulated data, and using statistical techniques to compare it with original scenario of forest cover.

What was your dissertation about? My dissertation used data extracted from pollen diagrams to map patterns of tree spreading in the British Isles during the early Holocene. I created a series of isochrone maps – showing the direction and timing of species dispersal – using ArcGIS. This built upon research first conducted in the late 1980s (with hand-drawn maps), almost doubling the number of data points. Significant changes in patterns were observed in some instances, with the research ultimately adding to our body of knowledge regarding species distributions, rates of spread, and response to controlling factors such as climate and topography.

What skills did you develop (further) during your dissertation research? I learnt a number of new techniques, particularly how to use GIS software, and improved my statistical analysis skills and my ability to think critically when analysing data outputs. I also improved my ability to quickly find and filter potential data sources. In terms of personal development, working during the COVID lockdown helped me hone my time management skills, notably creating and keeping to my own deadlines whilst also remembering to take regular breaks.

What was the highlight of your dissertation work? Finding new and undiscovered patterns of tree spread, and being able to explore the possible causes for this. Completing my dissertation was a rewarding experience as I felt that I had contributed new knowledge to my subject field.
