How can environmental problems be assessed? How do companies and organisations work to prevent and solve environmental problems? How can different types of actors exert influence and control, and what policies and measures can we employ to drive positive change?If you are interested in questions like these, this programme is for you.

Gabery S, Murphy K, Schultz K, Loy CT, McCusker E, Kirik D, Halliday G and Petersén Å.Translational Neuroendocrine Research Unit, Department of Experimental Medical Sciences, Lund University, BMC D11, 221 84, Lund, Sweden.Acta Neuropathologica 120: 777-788 (2010)AbstractHuntington disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a CAG repeat in the HD gene. Degeneration co
Two approaches based on alkaline hydrolysis, in combination with either stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) or sonication, were developed for the determination of banned azo dyes in bovine leather. All dyes were determined indirectly by measuring their corresponding harmful amines, formed after chemical reduction. Quantification was performed by employing standard addition methodology to compensat
Atmospheric N deposition is known to severely impact forest ecosystem functioning by influencing soil biogeochemistry and nutrient balance, and consequently tree growth and overall forest health and biodiversity. Moreover, because climate greatly influences soil processes, climate change and atmospheric N deposition must both be taken into account when analysing the evolution of forest ecosystem s
A method to determine the internal stress state across the grain of glued laminated wood (glulam), as well as the experimental equipment for measuring released deformation are described in this paper. The internal stress state is calculated from measured released deformations, which are measured by a contact free method based on a digital camera technique. Nondestructive measurement of the modulus
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of hospital admissions due to unexplained syncope and orthostatic hypotension (OH) with subsequent cardiovascular events and mortality.METHODS: We analysed a population-based prospective cohort of 30 528 middle-aged individuals (age 58±8 years; males, 40%). Adjusted Cox regression models were applied to assess the impact of unexplained syncope/OH hospital
Gluconobacter oxydans (G. oxydans) cells together with an osmium redox polymer (ORP) [Osmium (2,2'-bipyridine)2(poly-vinylimidazole)10Cl]Cl were combined with a glassy carbon paste electrode (GCPE) to form a bioanode for a microbial fuel cell (MFC) based on G. oxydans. Although there are G.oxydans/ ORP combined bioanode in the literature, as far as it is known, this system is the first one where G
Semiconductor nanowires show a great deal of promise for applications in a widerange of important fields, including photovoltaics, biomedicine, and informationtechnology. Developing these exciting applications is strongly dependent onunderstanding the fundamental properties of nanowires, such as their opticalresonances and absorption spectra. In this thesis we explore optical absorption spectra of
The permselectivity of the parietal pleura was determined in spontaneously breathing anesthetized rabbits and dogs. In rabbits, we injected intrapleurally 5 ml of 1-g/dl albumin solution containing 100 microCi of 131I-labeled albumin plus 100 microCi of either lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) or alpha 2-125I-macroglobulin. Dogs received 100 ml of 1-g/dl albumin solution containing 100 microCi of 131I-a
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to provide answers concerning how leprosy affected the lives of individuals from the St. Jörgens hospital in Åhus, Scania. Another main topic of concern is how leprosy relates to factors such as other diseases, age and gender. Finally this thesis evaluates and discuses the problems and issues surrounding osteological diagnosis of leprosy. A total of 26 graves co
This master thesis studies a two-echelon distribution system for perishable items with two non identical retailers. Each location is managed following a standard continuous (R, Q) ordering policy. The demand occurs solely at the retailers and follows independent Poisson processes. Customers are backordered when the retailer is out of stock. The items are considered as fixed lifetime perishables. W
In knowledge based industries, how has the changing economic climate in the United States altered hiring and training programs? Technology related jobs have faced a shortage of educated workers in the past and this trend was expected to continue in the future (See Waiting for Superman). With this situation in mind, has this sector followed the stereotype of the recession by laying off workers and
Public procurement represents almost 17 % of the EUs gross domestic product (GDP) which is why it is important to understand what unsound strategic bidding (UNSB) is and what the consequences could be if not prevented. Furthermore, it is often bigger companies that are willing to take the risk that comes with utilizing UNSB. If such UNSB is not prevented it will probably distort competition in the
Wind actions on roof-mounted solar collectors dier from those on an open range-deployment, due to turbulence and wind stream deection induced by the underlying building. As of December 2010, no construction codes in eect describes the wind loads on such structures, with the exception of the preliminary standard NVN 7250 from the Netherlands, with the latest draft released in 2007. The roofs consid
Our understanding and quantification of global soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and the underlying processes remain largely uncertain. Here, we assessed the effects of multiple anthropogenic and natural factors, including nitrogen fertilizer (N) application, atmospheric N deposition, manure N application, land cover change, climate change, and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration, on global soil
In the course of my PhD work, I have been involved in the development and the construction of the Tagging System for the BGO-OD experiment at the ELSA accelerators of the University of Bonn.BGO-OD is a fixed target experiment for the investigation of the structure of the nucleon at low energies via the photoproduction of mesons. It consist of a central calorimeter and a forward spectrometer. The r
Alkaline ion-solvating membranes derived from a tetrazole functionalized poly(arylene alkylene) are prepared, characterized and evaluated as electrode separators in alkaline water electrolysis. The base polymer, poly[[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diyl(1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl)], is synthesized by superacid catalyzed polyhydroxyalkylation and subsequently functionalized with tetrazole pendants. After equi
One-stage method of polysulfone (PSf) membrane modification by the addition of polyacrylic acid (PAA, Mn = 250 kg·mol−1) to the coagulation bath during membrane preparation via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) was proposed. The effect of PAA concentration on the membrane structure, hydrophilicity, zeta potential, separation performance and antifouling stability in ultrafiltration of lys
