3. 2. Managing high environmental performance? : Applying life cycle approaches and environmental certification tools in the building and real estate sectors

   Författare :Nils W. O. Brown; Tove Malmqvist; Peter Guthrie; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Buildings; operational energy use; life cycle assessment; environmental certification; environmental assessment; renovation; strategy; design process; value creation; embodied environmental impacts; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

   Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis is  to demonstrate and critically assess life cycle approaches’ and environmental certification (EC) tools’ potential for supporting decisions for improved environmental performance in the building and real estate sectors.Using life cycle approaches, the thesis shows that for new build and renovation cases aiming for low operational energy use that embodied global warming potential (GWP) due to material production can constitute a large portion of a building’s lifetime GWP.

4. 3. Development of Salt-Sensitive Hypertension in Hydronephrosis

   Författare :Mattias Carlström; Erik Persson; Nils Wåhlin; Russell Brown; Göran Bergström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Physiology; blood pressure; nephrectomy; nitric oxide; oxidative stress; renal function; renin angiotensin system; salt-sensitivity; telemetry; tubuloglomerular feedback; ureteral obstruction; Fysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Hydronephrosis, due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction, is a common condition in infants with an incidence of approximately 0.5-1%. During the last decade, the surgical management of non-symptomatic hydronephrosis has become more conservative, and the long-term physiological consequences of this new policy are unclear. LÄS MER

5. 4. Assessing and monitoring genetic patterns for conservation purposes with special emphasis on Scandinavia

   Författare :Anna Palmé; Nils Ryman; Linda Laikre; Kerry Naish; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biological diversity; conservation genetics; management unit; spatial genetic structure; sympatric populations; genetic monitoring; release of alien populations; northern pike; brown trout; harbour porpoise; Biology; Biologi; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : Genetic variation is essential for biological evolution, for maintaining viability of populations, and to ensure ecosystem resilience. Increased human exploitation and environmental change result in rapid loss of biological variation, including genetic diversity. LÄS MER

7. 5. Monitoring gene level biodiversity - aspects and considerations in the context of conservation

   Författare :Johan Charlier; Linda Laikre; Nils Ryman; Kjetil Hindar; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; brown trout; conservation genetics; genetic drift; genetic monitoring; effective population size; moose; one-sample approach; spatial genetic structure; statistical power; temporal data; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : The objectives of this thesis relate to questions needed to be addressed in the context of genetic monitoring for implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity for the gene level. Genetic monitoring is quantifying temporal changes in population genetic metrics. LÄS MER
