1. 11. Changes in lake-water organic carbon over recent centuries in northern Sweden, Västerbotten : Past and present mechanisms, and the potential implications on mercury

   Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Författare :Magnusson Petter; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Lake-water TOC; Summer forest farming; traditional agriculture; land-use; geochemistry; mercury;

   Sammanfattning : Due to the current increase in lake water total organic carbon (LW-TOC), many studies have investigated the long-term dynamics using lake sediments. However, these have mainly been focused on Sweden’s south and south-central parts. LÄS MER

3. 12. Improvement of a Vermicompost Sieving Machine for Smallholder Farmers in the Philippines : A study conducted in science city of Muñoz, Philippines

   Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Författare :Anokina Marcos Yousif; Felipe Vidal; Ioana Cosaceanu; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Philippines; Philippine Carabao Center; Sieve Machine; Smallholder farmer; Vermicompost; Filippinerna; maskkompostering; Philippine Carabao Center; siktmaskin; småskaliga bönder;

   Sammanfattning : The Philippines has a primarily agricultural economy, with many rural residents relying on farming for their livelihoods. The Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) was established in 1992 to support smallholder farmers in the country through research and technology development related to carabaos. LÄS MER

4. 13. The development of an acoustic insulation solution using mushroom mycelium as an alternative to synthetic foams

   Magister-uppsats, Jönköping University/JTH, Industridesign

   Författare :Adrián Brito Guerrero de Escalante; [2023]
   Nyckelord :mycelium composites; design thinking; design for emotion; sustainability; acoustic insulation; fungi; mushrooms.;

   Sammanfattning : In the past decades, humanity is facing the consequences of the irresponsible production of plastics and the expansion of industries such as industrial agriculture, Therefore, the development of new sustainable alternative materials has become increasingly popular as a science field. That is the case of mycelium composites, a biodegradable material made out of agricultural and the thread-like roots of mushrooms called mycelium. LÄS MER

5. 14. The carbon footprint of rye bread production in Sweden : a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the Fazer product Rågkusar

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

   Författare :Stella Hildersten; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; bread; rye bread; bread production; sustainable development; carbon footprint; global warming potential;

   Sammanfattning : The future will require sustainable food systems; systems that meets the present and the future with consideration of economic and social development, as well as environmental protection. In the current food system, two key drivers towards environmental pressure are agriculture and food consumption. LÄS MER

7. 15. The potential nitrous oxide emissions in a permanent grassland chronosequence

   Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Författare :Sandra Lillsjö Kronblad; [2023]
   Nyckelord :nitrous oxide emission; permanent grasslands; denitrification; nitrous; reen house gas; agriculture;

   Sammanfattning : As a part of a larger project (Belowground biodiversity of grasslands – conservation needs and potential to promote sustainable agriculture), this study aims to investigate potential nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and microbial gene abundances needed for the production (nirS and nirK) and reduction (nosZI and nosZII) of nitrous oxide in soil of permanent grasslands of various age. Thegrasslands have at different times been converted to permanent grasslands and are of interest because of the possibility to shed more light about the passage of time’s affects on the soil microbialcommunities and their activity.
