  2. 16. Epidemiological studies of congenital heart defects in the Southeast region of Sweden

    Author : Marie Cedergren; Elisabeth Robert-Gnansia; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : In the most recent analysis of Swedish data on congenital malformations, it appeared that in the county of Östergötland, the prevalence of infants with a diagnosed congenital malformation was higher than in the rest of the country. This observation initiated an effort to make a more complete identification of all infants born with a congenital malformation in that county and to compare it with the other two counties in the Southeast region of Sweden (Jönköping and Kalmar), utilising all the relevant Swedish medical health registers available.

  4. 17. Land Use Conflicts between Agriculture and Energy Production : Systems Approaches to Allocate Potentials for Bioenergy and Agrophotovoltaics

    Author : Daniel Ketzer; Peter Schlyter; Henrik Ny; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Renewable energies; Geographic Information Systems; Agrophotovoltaics; Participatory technology development; Responsible Research and Innovation; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : The developments towards a bio-based economy and a renewable energy-based power supply require thorough assessments of feedstocks and frameworks. In the past, political targets for increasing shares of renewable energies for combatting climate change have triggered direct land use changes (LUCs) and even indirect land use changes (iLUCs).

  7. 20. Linking water and permafrost dynamics

    Author : Ylva Sjöberg; Steve Lyon; Andrew Frampton; Britta Sannel; Georgia Destouni; Michelle Walvoord; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; permafrost; hydrology; arctic; modeling; streamflow; geophysical measurements; ground thermal dynamics; groundwater; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : The extent and dynamics of permafrost are tightly linked to the distribution and movement of water in arctic landscapes. As the Arctic warms more rapidly than the global average, profound changes are expected in both permafrost and hydrology; however, much is still not known about the interactions between these two systems.
