1. 31. Development of in silico methods to aid chemical risk assessment : focusing on kinetic interactions in mixtures

   Författare :Elena Golosovskaia; Patrik L. Andersson; Stefan Örn; Patrik Rydén; Ester Papa; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; QSAR; physiologically based kinetic; PBK; zebrafish; ADME; mixture; bisphenols; PFAS; toxicokinetics; environmental science; miljövetenskap; Toxicology; toxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : The environment and biota are constantly exposed to numerous chemicals through contaminated food, soil, water, and air. These chemicals can be taken up and distributed to reach sensitive tissues where they may cause various effects. Many of these chemicals lack data on their environmental and human health effects.

3. 32. A Nordic Perspective on Data Availability for Quantification of Losses due to Natural Hazards

   Författare :Tonje Grahn; Lars Nyberg; Magnus Johansson; Henrik Jaldell; Kurt Petersen; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Natural hazard; damage quantification; flood damage; landslide; loss of life; Risk- och Miljöstudier; Risk and Environmental Studies;

   Sammanfattning : Natural hazards cause enormous amounts of damage worldwide every year. Since 1994 more than 1.35 billion people have lost their lives and more than 116 million homes have been damaged. Understanding of disaster risk implies knowledge about vulnerability, capacity, exposure of persons and assets, hazard characteristics and the environment. LÄS MER

4. 33. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in Industrial Hygiene Applications : Assessment of Emissions from and Exposures in Wood Processing Industries

   Författare :Urban Svedberg; Christer Edling; Bo Galle; Hans-Erik Högberg; Nils Plato; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; FTIR; Exposure; Emission; Saw mills; Wood pellets; Tracer gas; Monoterpenes; Hexanal; Carbon monoxide; Open path FTIR; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis evaluates the use of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) as an approach to the increasingly difficult air sampling challenges within the field of occupational and environmental hygiene. The application of FTIR is exemplified by the assessment of emissions from and exposures in the sawmill and pellet industries. LÄS MER

5. 34. Health risk assessment of dioxin-like compounds in complex samples

   Författare :Mattias U L Öberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : There are several scientific as well as political and economic reasons why the risk assessment of dioxins in complex samples needs to be further refined. Today, there seems to be no margin of safety between doses that cause suspected effects and exposure. Therefore, uncertainties and gaps in the knowledge have to be minimized. LÄS MER

7. 35. Hip fracture prevention by screening and intervention of elderly women in primary health care

   Författare :Daniel M Albertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :hip fracture; fractures; mortality; women; aged; risk factors; risk assessment; accidental falls; questionnaires; accident prevention; house calls; exercise therapy; drug therapy; bone density; BMD; absorptiometry; intervention studies; primary health care; Sweden;

   Sammanfattning : Hip fracture prevention by screening and intervention of elderly women in Primary Health Care Daniel Albertsson Background – One in four Swedish women suffers a hip fracture (HF). In order to identify high-risk women we developed clinical 4-item scores as the FRAMO (Fracture and Mortality) Index, evaluated heel bone mineral density (BMD) and undertook interventions to improve mobility, reduce falls and HF.
