1. Ticks - ecology, new hazards, and relevance for public health
Sammanfattning : Ticks and tick-borne diseases are ranking second only to mosquitoes as vectors of pathogens responsible for diseases in both humans and domestic animals. In the countries around the Baltic Sea, two medically important tick species are increasing both in range and abundance, and the public health threat posed by tick-borne diseases in this area is steadily growing.

2. On Hazard Identification in the Automotive Domain
Sammanfattning : Electrical systems in vehicles are becoming more important with every new generation of cars since the functional growth in the automotive industry is mainly realized by electronics. The new functionalities can for instance be advanced safety improving systems or electronics replacing mechanical system solutions. LÄS MER
3. Organizational Lessons Learned : Natural Hazards Affecting Critical Infrastructure
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on an issue often presented as a solution – albeit a debated one – namely learning, specifically lessons learned from natural hazard events. Empirically, this thesis examines flooding and avalanches in a Swedish context, centering on systematic feedback mechanisms and learning from extreme events. LÄS MER
4. On Hazard Identification and Safety Cases In the Automotive Domain
Sammanfattning : Since electronics is the enabling factor for functional growth in many automotive engineering areas, the electrical system of a vehicle is becoming increasingly important for every new vehicle generation. Many new functions implemented in electronics are safety related, which raises new requirements on how to ensure the safety of automotive electronic systems. LÄS MER
5. Hazard screening of contaminated sites : bioavailable fractions and biological in vitro tools
Sammanfattning : The environmental bioavailability of contaminants, rather than their total concentrations in the soil compartment play a decisive role for the risks associated with contaminated sites. Various soil constituents and abiotic conditions have strong influence on bioavailability, which may vary substantially between different locations. LÄS MER
