Kartering av markföroreningar inom Skutskärs Bruk samt utvärdering av spridningsrisker enligt Naturvårdsverkets MIFO fas 2
With the prospect of future construction on the Skutskär Pulp Mill property, Stora Enso Fine Paper has initiated an investigation of soil contaminants and a risk assessment of these contaminants. A soil and groundwater investigation has therefore been conducted on an open area of about 16 000 square meters, situated between the current wood room and digester house. To be able to integrate this study into an investigation for the whole industrial property, the study has been carried out as a phase 2 study according to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency?s Methods of Inventories of Contaminated sites (MIFO).The site investigation has involved soil and groundwater sampling, together with the analysis of heavy metals and organic contaminants. The degree of hazard posed by the contaminants, the level of contamination, the potential for migration of the contaminants, as well as the degree to which protection of human health and the environment is required in the area, have been weighed together for an overall risk assessment of the area with regard to human health and the environment.The investigated area was built up by filling in the coastal waters.
Utvärdering av lufthalts- och nedfallsmätningar gjorda vid Korsnäsverken : Samband mellan miljöförbättrande arbete i pappers- och massaindustrin och föroreningar i närområdet
En nedgång har setts i Sverige och Europa när det gäller luftföroreningar de senast årtiondena. Nedgången beror bland annat på minskade emissioner från industrier, övergång från uppvärmning med olje- och kolpannor till fjärrvärme och förbättrad bränslekvalitet. Denna studie utvärderar lufthalts- och nedfallsmätningar gjorda i närheten av pappers- och massaindustrin Korsnäs i Gävle. Mätserierna startar vid sent 1970-tal och går fram till årsskiftet 2009/2010. Nedfall av stoft, sulfat, natrium, kalcium och lufthalter av svaveldioxid samt sot studerades.

Betesgångens inverkan på mjölkkors hälsa och produktion
Att uppfylla Sveriges lag om betesgång under sommarhalvåret är inte helt lätt för alla mjölkbönder. Särskilt i de större besättningarna krävs noggrann planering inför betessäsongen, exempelvis gällande drivgångar, kotrafik och tillhandahållande av betesareal. Inte alla gårdar släpper ut sina kor, och inte alla lantbrukare tycker att kor i lösdriftsbesättningar behöver komma ut på bete. Nio av tio svenska konsumenter anser dock att kor under sommarmånaderna ska ha rätt till bete.
I denna litteraturstudie undersöks betets påverkan på mjölkkor, betets fördelar samt nackdelar och hur de påverkar djurens hälsa och produktion.
Tjänar bönderna då på att släppa ut sina mjölkkor på bete eller kan de lika gärna fortsätta ha kvar dem inomhus även under sommarhalvåret? Självklart finns det risker med att släppa ut korna ? risken för stångningsskador, andra traumatiska skador och övriga olyckor ökar under betesperioden.
Kemisk stabilisering av gruvavfall från Ljusnarsbergsfältet med mesakalk och avloppsslam
Mine waste from Ljusnarsbergsfältet in Kopparberg, Sweden, is considered to constitute a great risk for human health and the surrounding environment. Some of the waste rock consists of sulphide minerals. When sulphide minerals come into contact with dissolved oxygen and precipitation, oxidation may occur resulting in acid mine drainage (AMD) and the release of heavy metals. The purpose of this study has been to characterise the waste material and try to chemically stabilize the waste rock with a mixture of sewage sludge and calcium carbonate. The drawback of using organic matter is the risk that dissolved organic matter can act as a complexing agent for heavy metals and in this way increase their mobility.
Handel med utsläppsrätter - hur företagsstrategier påverkas :
Climate change is one of the most difficult problems that humans have to deal with. Today, the evidence of human effects on the climate change and the rise of temperature on earth are strong. It is extremely important that all countries get together and cooperate in order to be able to solve the problem with climate change. One step in the work on climate changes is the Convention on Climate Change, which was agreed on in 1992. The Convention on Climate Change resulted in the Kyoto Protocol in 1997.
The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement between a number of industrialized countries to limit or reduce the green gas emissions.
BCAA-supplementering i samband med levercancerkirurgi
Sahlgrenska Academyat University of GothenburgDepartment of Internal Medicine and Clinical NutritionAbstractTitle: BCAA supplementation in patients undergoing resection for liver cancerAuthor: Mikael Semaan and Viktor SjölingSupervisor: Fredrik BertzExaminer: Frode SlindeProgramme: Dietician study programme, 180/240 ECTSType of paper: Examination paper, 15 hpDate: April 10, 2013BackgroundLiver cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the third largest to cause death. Protein-energy malnutrition is common in patients with liver disease and they often suffer from changes in the hepatic metabolism of nutrients and other substances. There is a basis for recommending BCAA supplementation in other certain liver diseases. Given the similar clinical picture of liver cancer surgery, it is possible that supplementation of BCAA can be beneficial for these patients as well.ObjectiveThe aim was to study the scientific basis for the effect of branched chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation in liver cancer patients. Can it improve their recovery in terms of nutritional status and albumin levels, and does it changes the duration of hospital stay, after surgery?Search strategyFive extensive searches were performed on PubMed and Cochrane after appropriate study material.
Metodutveckling för analys av PBDE och HBCD i sediment
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) has for many years been used in products to reduce their
flammability, mainly in electronic products, textiles and construction materials.
In 2003, Sweden imported 300 tons of brominated flame retardants.
Leakage of these compounds has polluted natural environments. Fishes has shown increased
contents of these substances, especially fat fish, since brominated flame retardants tends to
accumulate in fatty tissues.
They are also regarded as persistent and that gives them the ability to travel long distances.
What also is really scary is that increased levels of brominated flame retardants have been
detected in human breast milk.
The knowledge of the brominated flame retardants is limited and not so much research has been
done in this field. There are many reasons though, to keep the research going. Partly their
structural resemblance to well-known toxics as PCB, but also their ability to accumulate in
biological systems and enrich in food chains.
In which way they affect humans we really don?t know yet.
Förbehandlingstekniker och LCA för rötning av organiskt avfall : Modellkonstruktion och Utvärdering med ORWARE
The goal of this master thesis project was to develop computer models of some plausiblepretreatment techniques and to assess the potential benefits/costs of using pretreatment andanaerobic digestion for waste management of organic waste from a system perspective. Forthis purpose a computer program called ORWARE has been used. ORWARE (organic wasteresearch) is a program for making life cycle assessments of waste management. As the mainpart of the project work the ORWARE system has been provided with three new models ofpretreatment techniques. The additions consist of: One model of pretreatment with ultrasound,one model of thermal hydrolysis and one model of a screw press.

Geokemisk karakterisering av anrikningssand från magasin 1 och 1B, Kristineberg, med fuktkammarförsök
I närheten av gruvområden kan vittring av sulfidmineral producera surt lakvatten innehållande höga metallhalter vilket kan ge skadlig påverkan på omkringliggande natur. På grund av de stora avfallsmängderna som gruvindustrin producerar och dess potential för negativ miljöpåverkan är effektiva efterbehandlingar av gruvavfall viktiga. I Kristineberg, i norra Sverige, påbörjades brytning av zink och koppar 1940. Sulfidrik anrikningssand har deponerats i fem magasin inom gruvområdet fram till 1994. Magasin 1 och 1B efterbehandlades 1996.
Framtagning av ett nytt recept för clear-coat batter av pommes frites : En teknisk och sensorisk utvärdering
The requirements of good quality and appetizing fast food increases continuously as a consequence of a community where food is always available. The crispiness of French fries is an issue that must be considered in this context, since it tends to decrease and give the fries a soft surface not appreciated by the consumer. To prolong the crispiness, the fries can be coated by a batter, a mix of starches. The batters used often consists of modified starches, e.g. cross-linked, acetylated and dextrinizated to increase and prolong crispiness, flour to stabilize the batter and sodium bicarbonate to make the batter ?rise?.The cross-linked starch keeps the granules in a swelled state and prevents them from breaking when exposed to heat or processing: therefore, it delays the gelatinization and decreases the stickiness of the batter.
Pre-treatment of grain for ethanol production during storage
Ethanol for automotive purposes is an issue much debated and researchers disagree about the benefits of bioethanol. Converting energy-rich crops into ethanol suitable as motor fuel is a complex process and continuous development and improvements of processes and material used are important steps in the work of developing environmental friendly fuels. Grain is usually preserved by drying which consumes a lot of energy. Alternative storage of high-moisture grain in airtight storage systems reduce the energy required to produce bioethanol and studies have also shown that ethanol yields are increased more than 10% in ethanol fermentations of moist grain compared to dry. Airtight storage is often not perfectly airtight so biocontrol agents are necessary in order to preserve the grain.
Realtidsanalys av kiselsol
Traditionell mätteknik innebär att instrument monteras i rör eller på andra sätt förs in i processen. Detta kan vara problematiskt vid svårhanterliga processfluider och i vissa fall ge missvisande analysresultat. Tekniken Aktiv Akustisk Spektroskopi, som bygger på att mäta en utsänd ljudsignals dämpning genom processfluider, kan dock kringgå detta. Mätinstrumentet med denna teknik kallas för Acospector och marknadsförs av företaget Acosense. Instrumentet är helt beröringsfritt och kan installeras och underhållas utan processtopp.
Development of new food products with components active against Helicobacter pylori - with purpose to improve gastric health in humans
Gastric and intestinal disorders are common and costly human health problems worldwide. Helicobacter pylori are a gram-negative, pathogen bacteria and the most common cause of duodenal and gastric ulcer in the stomach the intestinal mucosa. Prolonged infection and colonization can lead to chronic gastritis and stomach cancer. H. pylori are present in the gastric and intestinal mucosa of half of the world population and a relation between infection and low socioeconomic status has been shown.
