Historically, the seals and harbour porpoises of the Baltic Sea and North Sea have been subjected to hunting, chemical pollutants and repeated mass mortalities, leading to significant population fluctuations. Despite the conservation implications and the zoonotic potential associated with viral disease outbreaks in wildlife, limited information is ...
A growing number of low sulphur fuel oils (LSFOs) are being marketed as a result of new international rules to reduce the sulphur content of ship fuels. This project aims to strengthen the knowledge base on environmental fate and behaviour of LSFO spills in cold seawater. The project includes laboratory experiments to investigate the effectiveness ...
Why? Society's need for knowledge about experiences, feelings, behaviours and abilities is increasing. It is important to know how people and society feel or how a product or service is perceived, and to be able to compare how these change over time and between different areas, for example when making decisions about priorities, efforts and effects...
Antalet undersökningar av magnetresonanstomografi har fördubblats de senaste åren. Detta delvis på grund av att tekniken inte använder joniserande strålning men även för att detaljrika bilder kan framställas. Magnetresonanstomografi betraktades i många år som en kontraindicerad undersökning för patienter med pacemaker eller implanterbar defibrillat...
Elektrokardiografi är en vanligt förekommande undersökning inom hälso- och sjukvården då undersökningen är icke-invasiv och ger en bra överblick över hjärtats elektrofysiologiska status. Ett vanligt fel vid EKG är elektrodplacering i andra respektive tredje intercostala utrymmet istället för i fjärde intercostala utrymmet (IC4), vilket bland annat ...
In this study, 16 wind power Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) from Brandenburg, Germany have been reviewed, looking especially at how well they address impacts on bats, as they might be the species most affected by wind turbines. On an annual basis, about 240 000 - 300 000 bats are estimated to die because of wind power impacts. Specifical...
Biologiundervisningen syftar i stora delar på att ge eleverna en förståelse samt kunskaper kring naturen och människan. Med människan som utgångspunkt syftar detta arbete till att skapa en produkt i form av en lärarhandledning i ämnet biologi, idrott och hälsa samt hemoch konsumentkunskap där ämnet hälsa står i fokus. Lärarhandledningen avser att m...
Air pollution has a negative impact on people that can lead to serious respiratory problems, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. These issues can result in a shortened lifespan and premature death. In Sweden there are approximately 7600 deaths each year due to air pollution and approximately four million deaths have been estimated to occur worldwid...
With genetic engineering desirable characteristics can be introduced or enhanced in organisms. Furthermore, transgenic trees have shown promising results in greenhouse and field trials. Results on transgenic trees in field trials have been published but international and detailed compilations of what has been carried out are limited. To get an over...
The Nordic Enforcement Group has checked the compliance level for e-commerce of consumer goods. We focused on three types of business models: marketplaces, dropshipping stores and web shops. A total of 412 products were analysed for restricted substances. 152 (37 %) of the products were non-compliant. The dropshipping stores had the highest non-com...
