  1. 6. On the behaviour of tailings dams : Management in cold regions

    Författare :Roger Knutsson; Jan Laue; Andy Fourie; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Associated to mining activities there is mine waste generated. The residues left over from mineralextraction processes are referred to as tailings, normally stored in surface tailings facilities. Thefacilities are usually confined by embankment dams, so called tailings dams. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Remittances, regions and risk sharing

    Författare :Kristin Bernard Magnusson; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis in economics includes three self-contained papers united by a common theme: the importance of economic fluctuations within and between countries for capital flows and risk sharing inside and across national borders. The first two papers study the determinants of workers’ remittances, as well as the consequences for macroeconomic volatility for the countries that receive them, using econometric methods and a general equilibrium model.

  4. 8. Appropriate Technologies for Soil Remediation in Low Prioritized Region : Developing Countries and Sparsely Populated Regions

    Författare :Henrik Haller; Anders Jonsson; Morgan Fröling; Jaak Truu; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soil pollution; Bioremediation; Ecotechnology; Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development; Ecological Engineering; Industrial Ecology Developing Countries; Sparsely Populated Regions; Nicaragua;

    Sammanfattning : Contaminated sites in low prioritized regions demand remediation technologies that are cost- and energy-effective and locally adapted. Parameters such as the time frame during which bioremediation degradation needs to occur may not be as restraining as in urban environments. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Cluster Dynamics and Industrial Policy in Peripheral Regions : a study of cluster formation as a local development process

    Författare :Cali Nuur; Staffan Laestadius; David Jacobson; KTH; []

    Sammanfattning : The rapid growth of the global economy in the last two decades has created a new economic reality in many municipalities in peripheral regions of Sweden. Having earlier relied on traditional industry as the source of employment, today municipalities in peripheral regions are struggling to survive in a completely changed economic landscape, with new conditions for development.

    Sammanfattning : Coincident with human activity in recent decades, human-associated microorganisms have arrived to the Antarctic region, possibly linked to increasing presence of scientific bases and ship-borne tourists. In the Arctic, humans have been present for a very long time, and the few parts of the Arctic without human activities is decreasing with time. LÄS MER
