The practice of using quantitative risk assessments (QRAs) for managing risks in land-use planning varies between countries. Some regulatory regimes are highly prescriptive in terms of explicit requirements on methodology, assumptions, modelling tools, input data, risk criteria, etc. Others require risk analyses to support decision-making without regulating the details. The present study seeks to

Internationella Miljöinstitutet (IIIEE) är ett internationellt och tvärvetenskapligt centrum som bedriver forskning och utbildning vid Lunds universitet. Vi bidrar till hållbarhetslösningar åt myndigheter och näringsliv genom forskning inom styrningsprocesser, policyutvärdering och affärsmodeller såväl som utveckling av visioner och scenarier för en hållbar framtid.The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) is an international and interdisciplinary centre for research and education at Lund University. We promote sustainable solutions pursued by public authorities and businesses by assessing governance and management processes, evaluating policy interventions and business models, and exploring visions and scenarios for sustaina

An energy system that relies on fossil fuel is not sustainable. Emissions, such as carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and corpuscles, affect the climate and pollute the air. Furthermore, the supply of oil, coal and natural gas is located a few places worldwide, which can give provide incentive to geopolitical conflicts for access to these areas. This is not a local issue for Tjörn, nor even a national i

Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are shed during growth by the respiratory pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Haemophilus influenzae. Vesicles trigger release of antimicrobial compounds and proteins of the complement, which are partly regulated by vitronectin. We hypothesized that vitronectin is elevated in the lungs during pneumonia, that respiratory epithelial cells produce vitronectin u

Different strategies for reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide from the Swedish transportation sector are evaluated by making scenarios for the year 2015, using a bottom-up approach. Methods for reducing emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and sulphur dioxide are discussed more briefly. The scenarios are based on official forecasts of future passenger and goods transport

Lignins are a polymeric, renewable resource with remarkable structural diversity. Research is being conducted into the valorisation of lignins into value-added products. The absence of experimental libraries, in particular for process-modified oligomers, hampers analytical feedback to these valorisation efforts. Stochastic methods for generating libraries in-silico have been proposed, but were not

roduction of biomass for bioenergy on marginal land has been promoted to decrease the use of non-renewable energy without competing with food production. Previous estimates of marginal land and abandoned farmland in Sweden available for bioenergy production are based on general statistics and assumptions but lack in-depth analyses of potential alternative land-use values.
