  1. 1. The Regulation of Global SOx Emissions from Ships: IMO proceedings 1988-2008

    Författare :Erik Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; IMO; SOx; global cap; Annex VI; MARPOL; air pollution; ships; sulphur oxides; policy-making; emissions;

    Sammanfattning : MARPOL Annex VI regulates air pollution from international shipping. Emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx) are regulated through a global limit for the sulphur content of bunker fuels (referred to as a global cap) as well as a stricter limit in particularly sensitive areas, referred to as SOx Emission Control Areas (SECAs).

  3. 2. Sulphur Regulations for Shipping – Why a Regional Approach?: Scientific and Economic Arguments in IMO Documents 1988-1997

    Författare :Erik Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; costs; framing; shipping; SECA; distribution; environmental; policy environment; international; MARPOL; conceptual lens; IMO; Annex VI; regional approach; economic interests; directional problem; benefits; policy-making; SOx; science;

    Sammanfattning : Some environmental issues for shipping are regulated globally with uniform standards and others with stricter regulations in specific areas. This thesis aims to provide an understanding of why a regional approach was chosen with SOx Emission Control Areas (SECAs) as the main form of control of sulphur oxide emissions from international shipping, with explanations based on documents from negotiations within the International Maritime Organization (IMO) during 1988-1997.

  4. 3. Meeting diversities in maritime education. A blend from World Maritime University

    Författare :Jan Horck; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Education; multi-cultural; culture; multi-language; language; IMO; WMU; maritime; pedagogy; Bronfenbrenner; MET;

    Sammanfattning : To address a diversified student complement in academic studies is becoming more and more frequent in maritime education and training. Diversity challenges are also the reality onboard ships that muster a multicultural crew complement. LÄS MER

  5. 4. NOx Abatement Technique for Marine Diesel Engines - Improved Marine SCR Systems

    Författare :Mathias Magnusson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Water; ECA compliance.; IMO Tier III; Marine applications; Human element; NOx reduction; Sulfur dioxide; urea-SCR; Human-Machine system;

    Sammanfattning : Growing awareness of the environmental implications of nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions, such as eutrophication and acidification on land and at sea, has contributed to the development of more stringent international NOX legislations within the framework of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The most stringent IMO legislation, i.e. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Targeting the hematopoietic stem cell to correct osteopetrosis

    Författare :Carmen Flores Bjurström; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hematopoietic stem cells; bone marrow transplantation; gene therapy; osteoclasts; infantile malignant osteopetrosis;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on developing stem cell targeted gene therapy for the severe hereditary disorder Infantile Malignant Osteopetrosis (IMO) as well as increasing the understanding of how the genetic defect present in IMO affects the hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoiesis in general. IMO is a rare congenital disorder associated with an increased number of non-functional osteoclasts and the absence of bone resorption results in accumulation of sclerotic bone leading to abnormal bone marrow cavity formation insufficient to support hematopoiesis.
