Master thesis in Sustainable Development at Uppsala University, No. 2020/04, 46 pp, 30 ECTS/hp Abstract: Collaboration is increasingly seen as an important aspect for sustainable development and sustainability, both within academia as well as among practitioners. The very nature of many sustainability issues requires collaboration and in the Swedish context collaboration on a county level is deemed necessary for the achievement of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. The divide between urban and rural is likewise an important topic for achieving sustainability, where neither exist in isolation but are rather dependent on each other. Ensuring that Sweden has a thriving countryside, where people want to live and work is therefore paramount for sustainable development. With this backdrop this thesis takes a closer look at Uppsala county, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of public actors’ ability to collaborate for sustainable rural development in

  • Perfluorerade Alkylsyror (PFAA) I Uppsalas Dricksvatten
    LIVSMEDELSVERKET RISKVÄRDERING 1 (9) Risk - och nyttovärderingsavdelningen A Glynn 2012-08-22 dnr 1192/2012 Perfluorerade alkylsyror (PFAA) i Uppsalas dricksvatten Sammanfattning Med anledning av en snabbt ökande exponering av konsumenterna i Uppsala kommun för en viss typ av PFAA, genomfördes en pilotundersökning av PFAA-halter i kranvatten från olika delar av Uppsala kommun. Resultaten pekar mot förhöjda halter av sulfonaterna perfluorohexansulfonat (PFHxS) och perfluorooktansulfonat (PFOS) i de två proverna som togs i Sunnersta (PFOS>20 ng/L; PFHxS>40 ng/L). I ett av de två proverna som togs i centrala staden var halten av PFHxS förhöjd (>15 ng/L). Ett prov från norra stan (Gränby) och ett prov från västra delen av Uppsala (Stabby) innehöll låga halter, liksom proverna från Björklinge och Storvreta. En preliminär intagsberäkning visar att dricksvattnet med de högsta uppmätta halterna av PFHxS ger ett intag som vida överstiger det intag som konsumenterna i medeltal får från livsmedel. Det finns idag inga gränsvärden för PFAA i dricksvatten. En preliminär riskvärdering antyder att de nu uppmätta halterna sannolikt inte innebär någon signifikant hälsorisk för Uppsalas dricksvattenkonsumenter. Ytterligare kartläggningar av dricksvattnet i Uppsala krävs dock för att mer säkra slutsatser ska kunna dras om eventuella hälsorisker förknippade med PFAA i dricksvattnet. Om dricksvattenhalterna av PFHxS långsiktigt är på väg upp i den takt som antyds i studien av konsumenter från Uppsala, så kan halterna i dricksvattnet i framtiden nå nivåer som innebär ökade hälsorisker för konsumenterna. Inledning PFAA är en grupp organiska syror som är mycket svårnedbrytbara och som är starkt ytaktiva. Ämnesgruppen delas in i sulfonsyror och karboxylsyror och de organiska syrorna har en kolkedja där alla väteatomer, som är bundna till kolatomerna, är utbytta mot fluoratomer (Figur 1, Tabell 1).

  • In the Landscape and Between Worlds
    In the Landscape and Between Worlds ronze age settlements and burials in the Swedish provinces around Lakes Mälaren and Hjälmaren yield few Bbronze objects and fewer of the era’s fine stone battle axes. Instead, these things were found by people working on wetland reclamation and stream dredging for about a century up to the Second World War. Then the finds stopped because of changed agricultural practices. The objects themselves have received much study. Not so with the sites where they were deposited. This book reports on a wide- ranging landscape-archaeological survey of Bronze Age deposition sites, with the aim to seek general rules in the placement of sites. How did a person choose the appropriate site to deposit a socketed axe in 800 bc? The author has investigated known sites on foot and from his desk, using a wide range of archive materials, maps and shoreline displacement data that have only recently come on-line. Over 140 sites are identified closely enough to allow characterisation of their Bronze Age landscape contexts. Numerous recurring traits emerge, forming a basic predictive or heuristic model. Bronze Age deposi- tion sites, the author argues, are a site category that could profitably be placed on contract archaeology’s agenda during infrastructure projects. Archaeology should seek these sites, not wait for others to report on finding them. martin rundkvist is an archaeologist who received his doctorate from Stockholm University in 2003. He has published research into all the major periods of Sweden’s post-glacial past. Rundkvist teaches prehistory at Umeå University, edits the journal Fornvännen and keeps the internationally popular Aardvarchaeology blog.

Final reports describing the results of the six feasibility studies in Östhammar, Nyköping, Oskarshamn, Tierp, Älv- karleby and Hultsfred were submitted during the autumn and winter of 2000/2001. With this as a basis, the siting work can now proceed to the next phase – site investigations. In this stage, investigations that include test drilling will be conducted on at least two sites. In December 2000, SKB published the report “Integrated account of method, site selec- tion and programme prior to the site investigation phase,” in which SKB stipulates where they want to conduct site investigations and how they will be carried out. The report is being reviewed by the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate during the first half of 2001. Before the site investigations can be initiated, the go-ahead is required from the national safety authorities, the Government, and concerned municipalities and landowners.
