Patienter som lider av alkoholmissbruk får inte alltid ett gott bemötande när

Tidstrender i unga mäns exponering för bekämpningsmedel via analys av urinprov Dagligen exponeras befolkningen för en mängd olika ämnen som visats ha egenskaper som kan ge negativa hälsoeffekter och öka risken för bland annat Parkinson’s sjukdom. Bekämpningsmedel som används inom jordbruk står för en del av dessa ämnen. Vissa ämnen har förbjudits för användning på livsmedel i Sverige och EU till The increased use of synthetic chemicals in society poses possible harmful risks for the environment and human health. Evaluating these risks are difficult when it comes to predicting short-term and long-term effects, determine causalities between exposure and synergistic effects from different compounds. Biomonitoring is one way to assess these problems and to observe the level of exposure in the

Klimatet på Jorden står inför en förändring. I Sverige bedrivs rennäringen av samerna sedan urminnes tid och är direkt beroende av väder och klimat. Det är därför osäkert hur näringen kan påverkas i och med en klimatförändring, där både väder och årstider kan förändras. Syftet med studien var att ta reda på hur rennäringen fungerar och vilka väderförändringar som renskötarna upplever redan idag In Sweden, reindeer husbandry is one of the most important traditions of the Sami people and is protected by the Reindeer Husbandry Act. The reindeer are semi-domesticated and migrate to different grazing lands depending on seasons. Reindeer husbandry is dependent on weather conditions for forage availability throughout the year, and this study examines potential effects of the predicted climate c

Tänk om vi hade kunnat se in i framtiden och redan nu börja planera för hur våra samhällen och städer kommer att se ut om 15-30 år. En viktig del i den framtida planeringen är hur den framtida avfallshanteringen kan komma att se ut, särskilt med tanke på att vi idag börjat inse att jordens resurser är ändliga och att vi därmed behöver reflektera över avfall som en råvara och tillgång istället för The purpose of this study was to examine how The Municipal Housing Company of Lund (LKF) could plan future waste management in the construction phase of new rental apartments.

Korallodling i olika klimatzoner Jordens yta består till 70% av vatten och i många av dessa vatten finns korallrev. Vi människor har sedan länge levt på jordens resurser, men nu lever vi över de resurser som finns att tillgå. En indikator på det är förstörelsen av korallreven runt om i världen. Tack vare klimatförändringar, fiske, illegal handel, turism etc. är reven nu hotade och behöver hjälp fThis study is a quantitative content analysis of the coral gardening in different climate zones and its limitations and possibilities. The purpose of the study is to highlight the different approaches to coral gardening and whether these could be implemented in other climate zones. I will also highlight why coral gardening is important from an environmental perspective. To conduct the study, I hav

In the current reinforcement steel supply chain the information transmission is often done with 2D-documents. This practice prevails even when structural engineers create complete building information models containing all reinforced concrete. In some cases, the contractor uses the rebar drawings to once again create a 3D model, containing the rebar, to provide views for rebar workers to be used d

This study uses qualitative research by documenting experiences of social workers work-related stress in a governmental organization.

This study analyze how the exploitation of agricultural land affects Sweden's ability to remain self-sufficient in grain, and the consequences that arise when agricultural land with the highest classification is disappearing the fastest. As the population increases the food production must also increase at the same pace. An important crops for Sweden's food supply is grain and it stands fo

Species extinction rates have during the last centuries reached levels leading scholars to proclaim a sixth mass extinction, even referred to as defining element of the Anthropocene. How humanity relates to nature and biodiversity has thus become part of how we delineate and describe the geological epoch we live in. Sustainability science has since its origins built on a research agenda calling fo
