   Författare :Johannes Matschewsky; Mattias Lindahl; Tomohiko Sakao; Martin Kurdve; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Integrated Product Service Offerings; Engineering Design; Value Driven Design; Evaluation; Design Methods; Provider Value; Key Performance Indicators; PSS; ;

   Sammanfattning : Combining products and services into Product-Service Systems (PSS), which are often owned and even operated by the company offering them, is seen as an important element of conducting more sustainable business. The prospective environmental benefits of PSS lie mainly in the improved resource- and operational efficiency. LÄS MER

3. 17. Cross-scale mechanisms and adaptation strategies in Small-Scale Fisheries

   Författare :Blanca González-Mon; Maja Schlüter; Beth Fulton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Small-Scale fisheries; networks; agent-based modelling; trade; migration; mobility; diversification; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) are increasingly facing shocks and changes that affect their capacity to provide food and maintain the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on fishing activities. At the same time, SSF influence and are influenced by interactions across scales, where interdependencies between different places are increasingly evident. LÄS MER

4. 18. Microbial Ecosystem Functions Along the Steep Oxygen Gradient of the Landsort Deep, Baltic Sea

   Författare :Petter Thureborn; Sara Sjöling; Mats Grahn; Matthias Labrenz; Södertörns högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microbial ecology; ecosystem functions; microbial community; bacteria; archaea; metagenomics; metatranscriptomics; oxygen gradient; hypoxia; sediment; Baltic Sea; Environmental Studies; Miljövetenskapliga studier; Östersjö- och Östeuropaforskning; Baltic and East European studies;

   Sammanfattning : Through complex metabolic interactions aquatic microbial life is essential as a driver of ecosystem functions and hence a prerequisite for sustaining plant and animal life in the sea and on Earth. Despite its ecological importance, infor­mation on the complexity of microbial functions and how these are related to environmental conditions is limited. LÄS MER

5. 19. Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and trace elements

   Författare :Charlotte Marchand; Hogland William; Hijri Mohamed; Bramryd Torleif; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Petroleum Hydrocarbon; Trace Elements; Gentle Soil Remediation Options; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon; Respirometry; Ecopile; Bacteria; Fungi; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

   Sammanfattning : The rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase of disposal petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) and trace elements (TE) into the environment. These pollutants are considered as the most toxic contaminants in the world due to their persistence in the environment, and the long range of toxicological effects for living beings. LÄS MER

7. 20. Microbial Transformation of Organotin Compounds under Simulated Landfill Conditions

   Författare :Annika Björn; Bo Svensson; Jörgen Ejlertsson; Bo Mattiasson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organotin compounds; landfill simulation; PVC; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Sammanfattning : Mono- and di-alkyltins are used extensively as heat stabilizers for processing of poly vinyl chloride (PVC). Tin mercaptide stabilizers are some of the most effective PVC stabilizers available. The main applications for tin stabilizers are building/construction products, such as pipes, fittings, siding and profiles (windows etc. LÄS MER
