  1. 16. Interaction of Xenobiotics with the Glucocorticoid Hormone System in vitro

    Författare :Maria Johansson; Helen Håkansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; DDT; PCB; tolylfluanid; adrenal; CYP11B1; glucocorticoid receptor; endocrine disrupter; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; Ecotoxicology; ekotoxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : Persistent environmental pollutants were examined for their interaction with the glucocorticoid hormone system. The focus was placed on interference with the glucocorticoid synthesis and the glucocorticoid-signalling pathway in various in vitro test systems. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Assessment of Environmental Pollutants in Humans from Four Continents : Exposure levels in Slovakia, Guinea-Bissau, Nicaragua and Bangladesh

    Författare :Linda Linderholm; Åke Bergman; Maria Athanasiadou; Kristina Jakobsson; Myrto Petreas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; POPs; PCB; DDT; PBDE; HCH; metabolites; human exposure; children s exposure; placental transfer; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Humans are continuously exposed to complex mixtures of anthropogenic chemicals. This thesis focus on human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs). POPs ability to bioaccumulate and biomagnify together with the extensive historical use of POPs in e.g. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Alternative electronic packaging concepts for high frequency electronics

    Författare :Wolfgang Peter Siebert; Sture Petersson; Shaofang Gong; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; Connector; cooling; electronic; elastomer interconnect; EMC; shielded enclosure; high frequency; PCB; PWB; reverberation chamber; seams; soldering; twisted pair cable; Elektroteknik; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the research work presented here, is to contribute to the adaptation of electronic packaging towards the needs of high frequency applications. As the field of electronic packaging stretches over several very different professional areas, it takes an interdisciplinary approach to optimize the technology of electronic packaging. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Role of sediment organic matter quality and benthic organisms for the fate of organic contaminants in marine systems

    Författare :Maria E. Granberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sediment; ecotoxicology; macrofauna; bacteria; PAH; PCB;

    Sammanfattning : Marine sediments constitute important contaminant sources within our environment. Organic matter input to marine sediments changes seasonally in terms of both quantity and quality, and has been profoundly altered in many coastal areas due to eutrophication. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Gill EROD Activity in Fish : A Biomarker for Waterborne Ah-receptor Agonists

    Författare :Alexandra Abrahamson; Ingvar Brandt; Björn Brunström; Janneche Utne Skaare; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biology; biomarker; fish; gill; CYP1A; EROD; environmental monitoring; induction; inhibition; PAH; PCB; produced water; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Induction of the cytochrome P450(CYP)1A protein and the connected increase in 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity are common biomarkers in fish. Enhanced activity of this protein signals exposure to Ah-receptor agonists such as chlorinated dioxins, co-planar polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
