  2. 1. Emissions from Fires Consequences for Human Safety and the Environment

    Author : Per Blomqvist; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kontroll av utsläpp; pollution control; Miljöteknik; Environmental technology; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; incapacitation; CFD; simulations; emissions; particles; dioxin; PAH; gases; quantitative analysis; fire effluents; chemical characterisation; large-scale experiments;

    Abstract : Accidental fires represent a risk for people from the heat and fire effluents produced. It is clear from fire statistics that it is, in fact, the toxic gases that kill and injure many fire victims. Further, there are a number of compounds that are readily produced in fires, which have important sublethal effects on humans. READ MORE

  4. 2. Antigenic variation and virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria : studies on the surface protein PfEMP1

    Author : Karin Blomqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Approximately 40% of the world’s population is at risk of contracting malaria, a disease caused by the intracellular protozoan Plasmodium. The species Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the majority of severe morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  5. 3. Oral health and behavior in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

    Author : My Blomqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ADHD ; adolescent; behavioral science ; child; cortisol; dental anxiety; dental caries; dentistry; health behavior; HPA axis;

    Abstract : Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common developmental disorder and has a substantial impact on many situations in the child s daily life. The present thesis investigates the behavior of children with ADHD in a dental setting that is, behavior management problems (BMP), interaction between child and dentist, dental anxiety, and stress and the oral health of these children compared to a control group.

  6. 4. Organic Phosphorus Compounds in Aquatic Sediments : Analysis, Abundance and Effects

    Author : Joakim Ahlgren; Emil Rydin; Monica Waldebäck; Lars Tranvik; Karin Markides; Sven Blomqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Organic phosphorus; aquatic sediment; eutrophication; NMR; internal loading; sample preparation; extraction; degradation; Miljökemi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : Phosphorus (P) is often the limiting nutrient in lacustrine and brackish eco-systems, and enhanced input of P into an aquatic system might therefore negatively impact the environment. Because modern waste water manage-ment have reduced external P input to surface waters, internal P loading from the sediment has become one of the main P sources to aquatic ecosys-tems, in which relatively unknown organic P compounds seem to be more active in P recycling than previously thought.

  7. 5. On benthic fluxes of phosphorus in the Baltic Sea proper – drivers and estimates

    Author : Nils Ekeroth; Sven Blomqvist; Per Hall; Volker Brüchert; Brita Sundelin; Jonas Gunnarsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : This Thesis focuses on the exchange of phosphorus (P) across the sediment–water interface in the Baltic Sea proper, with particular attention to the influence of bioturbating macrofauna and benthic redox conditions. Benthic P fluxes have major influence on P availability in the water column, which in turn regulates growth conditions for dinitrogen fixating cyanobacteria in the Baltic proper. READ MORE
