  1. 1. Evaluating effects of low concentrations of oil in marine benthic communities

    Författare :Fredrik Lindgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PAHs; community response; microbial community; oil; meiofauna;

    Sammanfattning : Large anthropogenic discharges of oil annually enter the marine environment, in the magnitude from large scale discharges to minor leakage, caused by ship collision accidents or seepage from urban areas. Possible detrimental environmental effects from these discharges differ, from acute lethal to chronic sub-lethal. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Development and application of a proteomic approach to the assessment of pollution in the marine environment

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; proteomics; mussels; peroxisomes; two-dimensional electrophoresis 2-DE ; difference gel electrophoresis DIGE ; bisphenol A BPA ; diallyl phthalate DAP ; 2; 2′; 4; 4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether PBDE-47 ; fuel oil; Prestige oil spill; Environmental toxicology; Miljötoxikologi; Toxicology; Toxikologi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Today, assessment of the health of coastal waters is recognized as being important for both the conservation of nature and well-being of humans. Anthropogenic pollution has been the focus of extensive research for some time and a variety of programs for the monitoring and assessment of environmental pollution have been developed. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The monetary value of marine environmental change

    Författare :Linus Hasselström; Cecilia Håkansson; Göran Finnveden; Tore Söderqvist; Carl-Johan Lagerkvist; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Contingent valuation; choice experiment; benefits transfer; cost-benefit analysis; ecosystem services; eutrophication; oil spills; Baltic Sea; Arctic; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : The marine ecosystems are fundamental for human welfare. A number of current environmental pressures need attention, and the formulation of management strategies requires information from a variety of analytical dimensions. The linkage between environmental change and resulting implications for human welfare is one such dimension. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Valuing ecosystem services - linking ecology and policy

    Författare :Maria Noring; Göran Finnveden; Cecilia Håkansson; Sara Tyskeng; Berit Hasler; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Contingent valuation; Cost-benefit analysis; Ecosystem services; Ecotoxicity; External costs; Life cycle costing; Monetary weighting; Non-market valuation; Oil spill; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Ecosystem services constitute a precondition for human welfare and survival. This concept has also become increasingly popular among both scientists and policymakers. Several initiatives have been taken to identify and value ecosystem services. LÄS MER

  7. 5. ALPHA-LINOLENIC ACID Postprandial Lipid Metabolism and Enzymatic Interesterification of Triacylgylcerols

    Författare :Julia Svensson; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; alpha-linolenic acid; triacylglycerol; postprandial lipemia; Lipozyme TL IM; interesterification;

    Sammanfattning : An important indicator of the metabolic capacity of humans is the ability to regulate plasma triacylglycerol levels and to clear triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) from the circulation after a meal. This is crucial since most of the day is spent in the postprandial state. LÄS MER
