3. 12. Arsenic in tubewell water of Bangladesh and approaches for sustainable mitigation

   Författare :Md. Jakariya; Prosun Bhattacharya; Jan Hoinkis; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tubewell; Arsenic; field test kit; groundwater; sediment colour; local drillers; safe aquifer; people’s initiatives; Participatory GIS PGIS ; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

   Sammanfattning : There is an urgent need for Bangladesh to identify the arsenic (As) contaminated tubewells (TWs) in order to assess the health risks and initiate appropriate mitigation measures. This involves testing water in millions of TWs and raising community awareness about the health problems related to chronic As exposure from drinking water, and providing alternative safe water option for the exposed population of the country.

4. 13. Adsorption behaviour of bottle-brush and block copolymers at solid-liquid interfaces

   Författare :Geoffrey Olanya; Per M. Claesson; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adsorption; Lubrication; Layer viscoelasticity; Protein repellency; Polymer architecture; Silica; Bottle-brush polymers; Poly ethylene oxide ; PEO; Block copolymer; Poly N-isopropylacrylamide ; QCM-D; AFM; Reflectometry; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis was spurred on by needs of current scientific and technological developments in the area of surface modification by use of adsorbed polymer layers. The importance of surface properties of polymer layers can be imparted in a broad spectrum of interfacial-related applications like lubrication, colloidal stability, detergency, and protein resistant surfaces, to just mention a few.

5. 14. Scaling up solar photovoltaic use : A system-oriented assessment of experiences gained in deployment

   Författare :Lars Strupeit; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Nyckelord :photovoltaic; deployment; soft costs; barriers; experience curve; innovation system; business model; network analysis; knowledge;

   Sammanfattning : The transition towards low-carbon energy systems undeniably requires a strong scale-up in the diffusion of renewable energy technologies globally. Given its theoretical and techno-economic potential, solar photovoltaics (PV) is considered an important option. LÄS MER

7. 15. Knowing in practice : a tool in the production of intensive care

   Författare :Ann-Charlott Wikström; Högskolan Väst; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; accounting practices; competence; ethnography; human-human-machine; interaction; intensive care; meaning; morality; technology; Caring sciences; Vårdvetenskap; Vårdvetenskap; Nursing science; accounting practices; competence; ethnography; human-human-machine; interaction; intensive care; meaning; morality; technology;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim with the the present thesisi was to find out how intensive care is produced by focusing on the ICU staffs interaction with each other and the technological tools they use. Theoretical perspective draws on socio cultural theory and the concepts accounting practices, moralöity in discourse and workplace research. LÄS MER
