    Nyckelord :Medicine; epidemiology; asthma; respiratory symptoms; prevalence; incidence; indoor dampness; body mass index; gastroesophageal reflux; snoring; indoor allergens; house dust mites; moulds; bacteria; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aims of our studies were to identify risk factors for respiratory symptoms and asthma in indoor environment but even to look at some personal risk factors such as body mass index and gastroesophageal reflux. The study population is based on participants of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey I and II. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Biological growth on rendered façades

    Författare :Sanne Johansson; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; temperature; render; radiation; photosynthesis; moulds; mosses; mortar; moisture; lichens; Imaging-PAM; humidity; heat capacity; heat; ETICS; algae; biological growth; calorimetry; desiccation tolerance;

    Sammanfattning : Biological organisms have an incredible ability to adapt to almost any environment and the humans activities on earth have created many new habitats for different kinds of organisms. For example can certain organisms grow on rocks and vertical cliffs, and when humans started building houses with mineral based façades, some organisms found that these were new habitats to live on.

  4. 3. Biological growth on mineral façades

    Författare :Sanne Johansson; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; moisture transport; mortar; mosses; biodeterioration; lichens; moulds; mineral facades; building physics; thin rendering on thermal insulation; heat transfer; biological growth; algae; heat capacity;

    Sammanfattning : During the last years there has been reported considerable and rapid contamination on newly built rendered façades in Sweden due to biological growth. The problem is believed to occur mostly on façades of render applied on thermal insulation, but apart from this it is difficult to find clear relationships indication which façades might be infected.

  5. 4. Innovationsmiljöer i bronsålderns samhälle och idévärld : kring ny teknologi och begravningsritual i Västergötland

    Författare :Eva Weiler; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; megaliths; bronze; moulds; technology; innovation; communication; distribution; ideology; personified symbols; two-dimensional pictures; burial rites; Fornlämningar; Gravar; Bronsarbeten; Gravskick-- Sverige -- Västergötland; Sverige-- Västergötland -- Småland -- Skåne -- Halland;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to elucidate on the factors that lay behind general occurrences in society that diversely develop according to the variance in social and cultural backgrounds. The thesis encompasses the period between 2000-500 BC and concentrates on the effects of the introduction of a new technology (metal working) and new burial rites on the society in SW Sweden (Västergötland).

  7. 5. Fungal DNA, Mould, Dampness and Allergens in Schools and Day Care Centers and Respiratory Health

    Författare :Guihong Cai; Dan Norbäck; Christer Janson; Nils Åberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Day care centers; Quantitative PCR; Fungal DNA; Allergens; Indoor environment; Building dampness; Bacteria; Mycotoxins; Respiratory symptoms; Asthma; School environment; Viable moulds; School children; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Day care centers and schools are important environments for children, but few epidemiological studies exist from these environments. Mould, dampness, fungal DNA and allergens levels in these environments and respiratory health effects in school children were investigated in this thesis. LÄS MER
