  1. 1. The Potential to Target Smaller Sized Baltic Herring to Decrease the Dietary Exposure - an Assessment Based on Dioxin Samples from the Southern Baltic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Sofie Gustafsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Dioxin; PCDD Fs; dl-PCBs; Herring; Baltic; Fishery; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, or more commonly referred to as dioxin and dioxin like substances are compounds present in our surrounding environment. As some congeners of these have been shown to be toxic, they are regulated under the Stockholm Convention. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hydraulic Modelling of Eurasian Beaver Structural Modifications: Implications for Evaluating their Contributions to Natural Flood Management in Scotland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Maja Christina Pitcairn; [2023]
    Keywords : Beaver reintroduction; Scotland; Flood risk; Natural flood management; Hydraulic modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. READ MORE

  4. 3. Formulation and characterisation of novel edible-packaging for fruits and vegetables

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Lola Sutton; Katerina Papa; [2023]
    Keywords : algae; edible packaging; carrageenan; cucumber; REL; oxidative stress; antioxidants; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. READ MORE

  5. 4. Constructed wetland for post-treatment of phosphorus in wastewater : An initial assessment of potential design and application to a small-scale water treatment plant in Åre municipality, Sweden

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

    Author : Johan Arnemo; [2023]
    Keywords : : cold climate; ecological engineering; free water surface wetland; horizontal subsurface wetland; phosphorus treatment;

    Abstract : In recent years, the treatment of phosphorus in Nyland's water treatment plant (located in Åre municipality) has been substandard. The problem has persisted despite attempts to lower the concentration to meet the emission requirements. READ MORE

  6. 5. Feasibility study of evaporative cooling and toilet flushing using rainwater in a public building

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Claudia Reig Moril; [2023]
    Keywords : Rainwater; Evaporative cooling; Toilet flushing; Energy; Water; Feasibility.; Regnvatten; Evaporativ kyla; Toalettspolning; Energi; Vatten; Genomförbarhet.;

    Abstract : The project "Feasibility of evaporative cooling and toilet flushing using rainwater in a public building" combines rainwater harvesting with the evaporative cooling technology and toilet flushing and explores the practicality and viability of implementing this innovative system in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. This study comprehensively investigates various aspects related to water and energy, and the entire system is computationally modelled using the Equation Engineering Solver (EES) software. READ MORE
