Material consumption in the healthcare sector: Strategies to reduce its impact on climate change - The case of Region Scania in South Sweden

The healthcare sector constitutes a major part of the economy of developed nations and consumes significant quantities of consumables. The Region Scania commissioned IIIEE, Lund University, to develop a management tool for strategic decision-making in order to reduce the climate impact indirectly derived from material, consumption. The tool was streamlined to fit operational conditions at Region S

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in precipitation in Southern Sweden (Skane, Lund)

The presence of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants in total deposition (wet + dry) was assessed with the simultaneous use of three bulk samplers during a 2 week period. The particle associated and the 'dissolved' phase were separated during sampling. Volume weighted mean (VWM) concentrations of SigmaPBDE (9 congeners) in rain were 209 pg l(-1). Total deposition rates were 2 +/-

Construction waste management based on industrial management models: a Swedish case study

This paper describes a methodology for estimating the true internal costs of construction waste, aimed at promoting environmentally friendly waste management. The study employs cost-benefit analysis, contribution margin analysis, the polluter-pays principle and a mathematical model: the model for Efficient Use of Resources for Optimal Production Economy (EUROPE), which has been introduced previous

Hypertension and changes of cognitive function in 81-year-old men: a 13-year follow-up of the population study 'Men born in 1914', Sweden

Background The relationship between blood pressure levels and decline of cognition has been discussed previously, but little is known about the confounding effect of lifestyle factors, anti hypertensive treatment and disease in the elderly. Objective To examine the association between systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, changes of DBP and SBP and hypertension (HT) on cognitive funct

Evolution of paleostress fields and brittle deformation of the Tornquist Zone in Scania (Sweden) during Permo-Mesozoic and Cenozoic times

The NW-SE oriented Sorgenfrei–Tornquist Zone (STZ) has been thoroughly studied during the last 25 years, especially by means of well data and seismic profiles. We present the results of a first brittle tectonic analysis based on about 850 dykes, veins and minor fault-slip data measured in the field in Scania, including paleostress reconstruction. We discuss the relationships between normal and str

Hepatitis E virus infections in patients with acute hepatitis non-A-D in Sweden

A total of 12 patients previously treated for acute hepatitis of unknown aetiology were retrospectively found to be anti-hepatitis E virus (HEV) IgG-positive. Four patients were anti-HEV IgM- and IgG-positive consistent with an acute HEV infection. All 4 had travelled to or were immigrants from HEV-endemic countries. One anti-HEV IgM-negative patient seroconverted from anti-HEV IgG-negative to pos
