11. Use and Development of Diffusive Samplers to Analyse the Fate of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds, Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Pharmaceuticals in Wastewater Treatment Processes
Sammanfattning : The efficiency of wastewater treatment systems is commonly measured by the reductions of parameters such as biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) and/or reductions in levels of selected macro compounds (e.g. long-chained hydrocarbons and inorganic compounds).

12. Computational methods for assessing chemical risk : focusing on toxicokinetic modelling in zebrafish (danio rerio)
Sammanfattning : New chemicals are constantly produced and large data gaps exist on hazards of currently used industrial chemicals, stressing the need for rapid, ethically sound and cost-efficient hazard assessment methods. Traditional methods for effect assessment based on animal testing, do not meet these requirements and thus the toxicology field has been moving towards the development of new approach methodologies which include in vitro approaches but also computational methods.

13. Shaping urban environments through human selection for plant traits
Sammanfattning : Cities, as home to the majority of the world’s people, are significant sites for addressing challenges of achieving sustainability and securing human wellbeing. Urban environments are complex social-ecological systems, and meeting these challenges requires better understandings of the interactions of social and ecological elements. LÄS MER
14. Persistency, bioaccumulation and toxicity assessment of selected brominated flame retardants
Sammanfattning : Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are chemicals used in e.g. electronic equipment, textiles and plastics for the prevention of fire. Over recent decades, concern has been raised regarding some heavily used BFRs, since the levels in the environment have been increasing. LÄS MER
15. Intracellular Degradation of Insulin in Pancreatic Islets
Sammanfattning : There is a substantial intracellular degradation of insulin in pancreatic islets. This may be a physiological process, which, in correspondence with biosynthesis and secretion of insulin, would optimize the secretory granule content of the pancreatic β-cell. LÄS MER
