  2. 1. Essays on Human Capital Investments: Pharmaceuticals and Education

    Author : Sofie Gustafsson; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical utilization; Adherence; Human capital; Grossman model; Health; Education; Diabetes; Non-monotonic health investments; Steady-state and stable equilibria .;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four essays on individual health behaviour and investment in higher education. Three of them consider different aspects of pharmaceutical utilization and aim at explaining some of the observed individual variation in access and adherence to treatment regimens. READ MORE

  4. 2. Empirical Essays on Health and Human Capital

    Author : Thomas Fast; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Labor Economics; Health Economics; Education; Retirement; Pharmaceuticals; Econometric Analysis;

    Abstract : This thesis includes one introductory chapter and three independent papers. The first paper adds to the broad literature regarding the effect of alcohol consumption on educational attainment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analytical method development for ultra-trace determination of human pharmaceuticals in aqueous samples. Assessing the performance of a sewage treatment plant

    Author : Saioa Zorita; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction; Sample preparation; solid-phase extraction; membrane extraction; human pharmaceuticals; sewage treatment plant; steroid hormones;

    Abstract : Research focus in environmental pollution has recently been extended from more classical environmental pollutants such as PCBs or pesticides to pharmaceuticals and steroid hormones, which are designed to be biologically active and enter the environment primarily through regular domestic use. Consequently, it is important to monitor these substances concentrations in the effluents of sewage treatment plants (STPs) and in the environment in order to evaluate their associated risks.

  6. 4. Transcriptomics and bioconcentration studies in fish to identify pharmaceuticals of environmental concern

    Author : Filip Cuklev Stern; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fish; microarray; bioconcentration; pharmaceuticals; wastewater treatment; environment;

    Abstract : Pharmaceuticals are frequently found in the aquatic environment. As they are most often highly biologically active, quite persistent and may accumulate in aquatic organisms, i.e. bioconcentrate, they may pose a risk to non-target organisms. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sorption and transformation of polar pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment studied by hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction

    Author : Estelle Larsson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pharmaceuticals; wastewater treatment; sludge; hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the application of hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction as a simple, efficient and environmentally friendly tool to study the fate of four common anti-inflammatory drugs (ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ibuprofen) during wastewater treatment. Initial experiments verified that this technique is applicable on aqueous as well as suspensions of solid samples, thus greatly simplifying the sample preparation. READ MORE
