  1. 31. Assessing the health consequences of deficiencies in water distribution networks: a basis for future network management

    Författare :Victor Vinas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; QMRA; risk management; distribution network; microbial risk; epidemiological studies;

    Sammanfattning : Drinking water distribution networks are susceptible to incidents that may contaminate the drinking water being served to the population. Five major risks that can impact negatively the health of consumers have been identified by a literature study: intrusion, cross-connections and backflows, unhygienic repairs or maintenance works, inadequate management of storage reservoirs and biofilms.

  3. 32. Economic Determinants and Consequences of Political Institutions

    Författare :Oana Borcan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; political institutions; state history; corruption; education; voting;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is comprised of four empirical essays on the economic determinants and consequences of political institutions. It opens with a broad perspective on the link between the state throughout history and the past and current economic performance of nations. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background. Familial Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited systemic amyloid disease. The disease is caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene, where close to 100 different amyloidogenic mutations have been identified. LÄS MER

  5. 34. Cutaneous leishmaniasis : treatment and genetic mechanisms affecting outcome

    Författare :Hedvig Glans; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Leishmaniasis is a neglected parasitic disease and a rare diagnosis in non-endemic countries in Europe. Migration, geopolitical conflicts and climate change have increased awareness of this infection in Europe, as more patients with leishmaniasis are admitted to health care. LÄS MER
