   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores health hazards for seafarers in the Swedish merchant fleet, and occupational risks for lung cancer, mesothelioma and hematologic malignancy (HM). A special focus has been exposure to benzene and biomarker levels for work on product or chemical tankers during the mid-1990’ies. LÄS MER

3. 17. Having a New Pair of Glasses : Applying Systemic Accident Models on Road Safety

   Författare :Yu-Hsing Huang; Erik Hollnagel; Pietro Carlo Cacciabue; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; accident model; road safety; accident prevention; accident analysis; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : The main purpose of the thesis is to discuss the accident models which underlie accident prevention in general and road safety in particular, and the consequences of relying on a particular model have for actual preventive work. The discussion centres on two main topics. LÄS MER

4. 18. Accelerator mass spectrometry of 129I and its applications in natural water systems

   Författare :Nadia Buraglio; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Ion Physics; jonfysik;

   Sammanfattning : During recent decades, huge amount of radioactive waste has been dumped into the earth's surface environments. 129I (T1/2 = 15.6 My) is one of the radioactive products that has been produced through a variety of processes, including atomic weapon testing, reprocessing of nuclear fuel and nuclear accidents.

5. 19. High Performance Fuels for Water-Cooled Reactor Systems

   Författare :Kyle D. Johnson; Janne Wallenius; James Tulenko; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nuclear fuel; accident tolerant fuel; uranium nitride; uranium silicide; Fysik; Physics;

   Sammanfattning : Investigation of nitride fuels and their properties has, for decades, been propelled on the basis of their desirable high metal densities and high thermal conductivities, both of which oer intrinsic advantages to performance, economy, and safety in fast and light water reactor systems. In this time several key obstacles have been identied as impeding the implementation of these fuels for commercial applications; namely chemical interactions with air and steam, the noted diculty in sintering of the material, and the high costs associated with the enrichment of 15N.

7. 20. Barns psykologiska reaktioner på användning av andningsskydd

   Författare :Eva Mauritzson-Sandberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Psychology; Teknisk psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Research on psychological reactions on wearing respiratory protective devices (RPDs) has been initiated only recently. Knowledge about children's psychological reactions is still lacking. The aim of the thesis was therefore to provide such knowledge in connection with the design of RPDs for use by children in chemical accidents and warfare. LÄS MER
