1. 11. Environmental Modeling and Uncertainty

   Författare :Muhammad Sarfraz Iqbal; Dik van de Meent; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; QSAR; multimedia fate modeling; uncertainty analysis; probability bounds analysis; fuzzy arithmetic; chemical safety assessment; REACH;

   Sammanfattning : Environmental fate models are used to evaluate the fate and effects of chemicals for risk assessment. Fate models may be effective and low-cost substitutes for field measurements and are helpful to project future scenarios. LÄS MER

3. 12. Inclusion of sustainability aspects in product development at manufacturing companies

   Författare :Fredrik Paulson; Erik Sundin; Mats Björkman; Johan Ölvander (Andersson); Tobias Larsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Due to current consumption and production patterns of products, pressure on already constrained natural resources, an increasing global population, increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and reduced access to clean water globally, studying manufacturing companies’ inclusion of sustainability aspects in their product development becomes important.The aim of this thesis is to expand current knowledge on the inclusion of sustainability aspects in product development at manufacturing companies.

4. 13. Traits or species – space or environment : how to understand the spatial structure of springtail community composition

   Författare :Lina Ahlbäck Widenfalk; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : How communities are structured and the processes shaping species composition are among the basic questions in ecology. Knowledge about these processes is essential to predict changes in community composition in response to changes in for example climate or land use practices. LÄS MER

5. 14. Urban green networks : a socio-ecological framework for planning and design of green and blue spaces in Sweden and China

   Författare :Na Xiu; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Multi-disciplinary research is needed to address the issue of urban landscape fragmentation. Based on empirical and theoretical context analysis, a framework of network-based, socio-ecological methods and indicators that can be effectively applied by practitioners in different geographical locations was developed in this thesis.

7. 15. Exploring the potential of antiangiogenic strategies targeting the TGF-β family in the tumor microenvironment

   Författare :Sara Cunha; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β family exert their effect on virtually all cell types in the body, producing diverse and complex cellular responses. Additionally, TGF-β signaling is deregulated and hyperactive in many malignant conditions, making it an appealing target in the combat of cancer disease. LÄS MER
