  2. 6. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling in risk assessment - Development of Bayesian population methods

    Author : Fredrik Jonsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; methyl chloride; dichloromethane; toluene; styrene; uncertainty; intra- individual variability; risk assessment; physiologically based modeling; Markov chain Monte Carlo; PBPK; Bayesian; population modeling; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; Biopharmaceutics; biofarmaci;

    Abstract : In risk assessment of risk chemicals, variability in susceptibility in the population is an important aspect. The health hazard of a pollutant is related to the internal exposure to the chemical, i.e. the target dose, rather than the external exposure. READ MORE

  4. 7. Valuing Reductions in the Risk of Traffic Accidents Based on Empirical Studies in Sweden

    Author : Ulf Persson; Trafik och väg; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Säkerhetsteknik; Safety technology; Vägtransportteknik; Road transport technology; Road Traffic; Risk Reduction; Value of Life; Cost of Accidents; Stated Preference; Contingent Valuation;

    Abstract : At the beginning of the 1990s the Swedish National Road Administration (SNRA) adopted the willingness to pay (WTP) approach for estimating the benefits of safety improvements. However, since then there have been discussions about how to find the most valid and reliable empirical methods to conduct WTP studies. READ MORE

    Abstract : Decision‐makers in organisations and businesses make numerous decisions every day, and these decisions are expected to be based on facts and carried out in a rational manner. However, most decisions are not based on precise information or careful analysis due to several reasons. People are, e.g. READ MORE

  6. 9. Minimally-invasive breast interventions : methods for high yield, low risk, precision biopsy and curative thermal ablation

    Author : Kai-Uwe Schässburger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Advances in medical imaging and the introduction of population-based screening programs have increased the detection rate and overall proportion of small breast tumors. In addition, progress in technology and medical science, in combination with efforts to minimize morbidity, have resulted in the emergence of minimally invasive image-guided interventional procedures for both diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

  7. 10. The influence of climate on ozone risk for vegetation

    Author : Jenny Klingberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : local climate; topography; nocturnal temperature inversions; ozone spring peak; passive diffusion sampler; AOT40; stomatal ozone flux; stomatal conductance; phytotoxic ozone dose; EMEP; MATCH; RCA3; climate change;

    Abstract : Ground-level ozone (O3) is a harmful air pollutant causing reduced crop yield and quality, reduced forest growth and negative effects on human health in large parts of the world. O3 is generally seen as a regional scale air pollution problem, but O3 concentration ([O3]) variation on a smaller geographical scale can be considerable. READ MORE
