  1. 1. Organizational Lessons Learned : Natural Hazards Affecting Critical Infrastructure

    Författare :Monika Rydstedt Nyman; Lars Nyberg; Magnus Johansson; Eva Liljegren; Henrik Tehler; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; natural hazards; critical infrastructure; feedback; lessons learned; collective learning; memory building; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och Miljöstudier;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on an issue often presented as a solution – albeit a debated one ­– namely learning, specifically lessons learned from natural hazard events. Empirically, this thesis examines flooding and avalanches in a Swedish context, centering on systematic feedback mechanisms and learning from extreme events. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Environmental and health hazards of chemicals in plastic polymers and products

    Författare :Delilah Lithner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :plastics; plastic products; plastic polymers; consumer products; environmental hazards; environment; health hazards; human health; hazard ranking; hazard assessment; chemical ranking; hazard identification; hazard classifications; hazardous chemicals; hazardous substances; toxic substances; monomers; polymers; toxicity; acute toxicity; toxicity tests; Daphnia magna; Toxicity Identification Evaluation; TIE; leaching; leachates; product leachates; leaching tests; plastic materials; plastic;

    Sammanfattning : Plastics are extremely diverse in terms of chemical composition, properties and possible applications, and are widely distributed in the society and the environment. In the last 15 years the global annual production has doubled, reaching 245 million tons in 2008. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Viscous-brittle deformation of shallowly emplaced silicic magma : Implications for outgassing and volcanic hazards

    Författare :Taylor Witcher; Steffi Burchardt; Edward Llewellin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magma deformation; magmatic outgassing; magmatic intrusions; rhyolite; Sandfell laccolith; crystal mush; volcanic hazards; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot mineralogi; petrologi och tektonik; Earth Science with specialization in Mineral Chemistry; Petrology and Tectonics;

    Sammanfattning : Silicic magma in the shallow crust has the potential to violently erupt, depending on its ability to release overpressures caused by magmatic volatiles (outgassing). Deformation-induced outgassing is prevalent along volcanic conduit margins, where ascending magma is sheared at high rates. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Hazards of Drug Therapy : On the Management of Adverse Drug Reactions: From Signal Detection and Evaluation to Risk Minimization

    Författare :Karin Hedenmalm; Marja-Liisa Dahl; Gunnar Alvan; Ellen Vinge; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacology; adverse drug reactions; spontaneous reporting systems; drug regulation; pharmacovigilance; incidence; Farmakologi; Pharmacological research; Farmakologisk forskning;

    Sammanfattning : Spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) for adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have been developed as a result of the thalidomide disaster, whereby thousands of children world-wide were born with birth defects. The Swedish Adverse Drug Reactions Advisory Committee was established in 1965. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Caught in the Maelstrom, Catching the Tide : Micro-level Responses to Climate-Related Hazards and Conflict

    Författare :Kristina Petrova; Hanne Fjelde; Nina von Uexkull; Gabriele Spilker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; natural hazards; climate-related disasters; armed conflict; electoral violence; protests; riots; communal conflict; state institutions; disaster relief aid; climate mobilities; internal and international migration; Sub-Saharan Africa; Bangladesh; Pakistan.;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation contributes to the literature on the nexus between climate-related disaster and conflict. One of the main sources of uncertainty regarding the effects of climate change on conflict stems from limited understanding of the driving mechanisms and the political contexts under which these effects materialize.
