| Abu-Danso Emmanuel Kafui | Magnetic Nano-composites for Metals Removal and Recovery from Wastewater Read more | University of Eastern Finland | PhD project | 29175 | Magnetic Nano-composites for Metals Removal and Recovery from WastewaterThe goal of proposed research is to synthesize magnetic nano-composites (MNCs) and their application for the removal of toxic metals (e.g., arsenic, chromium, lead, cadmium, mercury etc.) from wastewater. Cellulose has been used as precursor, which is regarded as the most abundant and renewable biopolymer in nature. Cellulose-and its composites (using chitosan and clay) have been tuned and experimental factors are optimized such that MNCs are effective across a wide pH range, exhibit high metals? uptake capacities and fast kinetics. MNC will be recovered simply by applying the magnetic field. It will prevent the escape of nano-particles into the environment. Thus, this project addresses a sustainable solution for metals contaminated wastewater that safeguards precious water resources by removing and recovering metals from contaminated wastewaters. Based on the batch optimization studies, column and pilot studies are in progress for metals removal and recovery.Close summary |

Read more | Helsingin yliopisto | Post doc project | 74400 | Towards sustainable animal production ? How farming affects the environmental resistome?Antimicrobial drug resistance threatens the future of humankind, but the problem is environmental origin. Soils are known to harbor immense amount of microbes carrying intrinsic resistance features against antimicrobial drugs and genetic elements encoding these features are known as the environmental resistome. Antimicrobials are used in livestock production and animal manure is used as a fertilizer. Manure application affects the microbial communities in agroecosystems, causing selection for antimicrobial resistance, increasing the mobility of resistance genes and thus elevates the risk of resistance gene migration to bacteria capable of causing diseases.The aim of this project is to try to find a safe operating space for animal production by answering the following questions: Are the farm resistomes different if the use of antimicrobials is on different level? How much and how often manure can be land-applied to agricultural soils without increasing the genetic mobility? Close summary |

Lierot ovat tärkeitä maaperän hajottaja-eliöitä ja toimivat haitallisten aineiden kulkeutumisreittinä ravintoketjun ylemmille tasoille, koska ne ovat monien eläinten ravintoa. Tämä tutkimus tuo tärkeää tietoa ihmisen aiheuttamasta, mahdollisesti merkittävästä haitasta, josta ei vielä tiedetä juuri mitään. Tämän tiedon avulla pystytään tunnistamaan riskejä, joita muovien tuotantoon, käyttöön ja hävittämiseen sekä jätevesilietteen käyttöön liittyy ja kehittämään ratkaisuja näiden riskien hallitsemiseksi.Close summary |

Read more | Helsinki University | Post doc project | 32000 | Innovative approaches to assess the effectiveness of Finnish Protected Areas in conserving large carnivore populations.A sound evaluation of the effectiveness of Protected Areas (PA) in halting habitat loss and species decline is a global conservation priority. In this project, I will use an innovative counterfactual approach overcoming previous methodological weaknesses and assess for the first time the effectiveness of Finnish PAs in conserving large carnivores. By using the unique opportunity offered by track count data collected through the Wildlife Triangle Scheme I will be able to assess spatial variation in population trends for four large carnivore species across the national PA network and relate them to protection status, PA management and landscape connectivity. This project will be developed in close collaboration with Metsähallitus, LUKE, Riistakeskus, the University of Helsinki and the Ministry of the Environment in order to provide a first assessment of the role of PAs for large carnivore population recovery in the current context of increased pressure from illegal killing.Close summary |

Kaupunkirottatutkimusta on kuitenkin tehty vähän, erityisesti boreaalisella vyöhykkeellä. Tutkimuksen tavoite on kartoittaa Helsingin kaupunkirottakannan suuruus, rottapopulaation geneettinen rakenne sekä rottien kantamat tartunnanaiheuttajat ja loiset. Tutkimus suoritetaan osittain kansalaistiedelähtöisesti, sillä tämä mahdollistaa laajemman aineiston keräämisen rottien populaatiokoon arvioimiseen. Rotta on erityisen mielenkiintoinen tutkimuskohde, sillä se on biologisen tutkimuksen mallieläin laboratoriotutkimuksessa, mutta tiedämme harmillisen vähän rotan toiminnasta luonnollisissa ympäristöissään. Tutkimuksen tulokset parantavat käsitystä siitä, miten rotat elävät boreaalisen alueen kaupunkiympäristöissä ja muodostuuko rottien tautiyhteisöstä uhkaa ihmiselle.Close summary |

Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on myös selvittää pölyttäjien, kasvien ja parasiittien välisiä keskeisiä vuorovaikutuksia. Erityisesti selvitetään kimalaisten parasiitti- ja patogeenitilannetta sekä kimalaisissa esiintyviä tauteja, joita Suomessa ei ole aiemmin kattavasti tutkittu. Loiset ja patogeenit ovat paitsi keskeinen osa biologisia vuorovaikutuksia myös kasvava uhka pölyttäjille globalisoituvassa maailmassa, joten niiden parempi tuntemus sekä vaikutusten ymmärtäminen on tärkeää. Tällä hetkellä tiedon puute vaikeuttaa parasiitti- ja patogeenitilanteen arvioimista. Tutkimuksen tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää alkuperäisten pölyttäjien, kuten kimalaisten hyödyllisyydestä tiedottamisessa ja suojelutoimien kehittämisessä ja kohdentamisessa sekä mahdollisesti mehiläistarhauksen suuntaamisessa.Close summary |

| Koskue Veera | Nutrient recovery from wastewaters using bioelectrochemical methods Read more | TTY Tampere | PhD project | 72000 | Nutrient recovery from wastewaters using bioelectrochemical methodsRavinteet ovat kaikelle elämälle välttämättömiä, ja erityisen paljon niitä käytetään lannoitteina maataloudessa. Tämänhetkinen lannoitetuotanto ei ole kestävällä pohjalla, sillä mineraaliravinnevarat hupenevat ja energiankulutus on suurta. Tästä syystä ravinteiden tehokkaampaan kierrättämiseen tulisi panostaa. Suuri osa maataloudessa käytetyistä ravinteista päätyy yhdyskuntien jätevesiin, joista ne mahdollisesti luonnonvesistöihin päädyttyään aiheuttavat ympäristöongelmia, kuten rehevöitymistä. Ravinteiden talteenotto ja kierrättäminen jätevesistä on lupaava vaihtoehto, joka samalla vähentää ravinteiden luonnonvesistöille aiheuttamia ongelmia. Tässä väitöstyöprojektissa ravinteita otetaan talteen jätevesivirroista hyödyntämällä energiaa säästäviä bioelektrokemiallisia menetelmiä. Bioelektrokemiassa bakteerien luonnollista aineenvaihduntaa hyödynnetään sähkövirran tuottamiseen niin, että ulkoisen energian tarve pienenee. Ionimuotoiset ravinteet otetaan talteen membraanien avulla.Close summary |

Hyödyntää eri teollisuuden alojen jätebiomassavirtoja valmistamalla niistä tärkeää peruskemikaalia eli levuliinihappoa. Levuliinihappo on tärkeä kemikaali, koska siitä voidaan valmistaa useita muita yhdisteitä sekä tuotteita, joita perinteisesti valmistetaan fossiilisista polttoaineista. Ko. yhdisteitä ja tuotteita käytetään mm. lääkeaineina, lääkkeiden valmistuksessa ja biopolttoaineina. 2. Kehittää levuliinihapon valmistusprosessia siten, että saanto saadaan mahdollisimman korkeaksi. Tarkoituksena on saada valmistusprosessista teollisesti kannattavampi, jotta levuliinihappoa voidaan käyttää lähtöaineena yhä useamman tuotteen valmistuksessa ja sitä kautta vähentää riippuvuuttamme fossiilisista polttoaineista. 3. Hyödyntää levuliinihapon valmistusprosessissa muodostuvia sivutuotteita eli humiineja vedenpuhdistusmateriaaleina.

Algal hydrogenases have a very high theoretical efficiency, but it is strongly limited by their extreme O2 sensitivity.Recently, the groups of Dr. Allahverdiyeva-Rinne (University of Turku) and Dr. Szilvia Z. T¢th (BRC Szeged) independently developed two methods to prevent the inactivation of algal hydrogenases by O2, without imposing a severe stress effect on the algal cultures. In the frame of the project, Dr. Val‚ria Nagy will compare the two methods, and further improve them by testing various physiological conditions. In addition, photosynthetic mutants, affected in pathways competing with hydrogen production will be also studied. As an outcome, we expect a very significant improvement regarding the biohydrogen production of green algae. Close summary |

Ongelmana on kuitenkin tätä metsänhoidon vaihtoehtoa koskevan tutkimustiedon vähäisyys. Tässä väitöskirjassa tutkitaan metsien hoitoa jatkuvapeitteisenä soveltaen monitieteistä taloudellis-ekologista tutkimusotetta. Näin kyetään vastaamaan sekä teoreettisesti että poliittisesti keskeisiin kysymyksiin. Näitä ovat 1. jatkuvapeitteisen metsänhoidon soveltuvuuserot männyn ja kuusen välillä, 2. kuinka jatkuvapeitteinen metsänhoito soveltuisi Pohjois-Lappiin huomioiden metsien käytön vaihtoehdot porotaloudessa ja hiilensidonnassa, sekä 3. kuinka jatkuvapeitteinen metsänhoito soveltuu heikkokasvuisille, mutta paljon hiiltä sitoville männikkösuoalueille.Close summary |

Read more | Helsinki University | PhD project | 53500 | Mapping of future climate risks in Helsinki. The role of urban climate governance in climate risk formation and alleviation.Scientific community understands and models fairly well current climate risks, especially the biophysical part of it (IPCC 2014). However, literature suggests that the socio-economic factors play crucial role in climate risk formation (IPCC 2014, Räsänen et al. 2016). Additionally, our research has shown that little is known and little is being done in regards to future climate risk assessments (Jurgilevich et al. 2017). However, analyzing future climate risks, and particularly the future socio-economic factors, is crucial for current policy-making and urban planning.This research contributes to exploring the role of socio-economic factors in climate risk formation and alleviation. It also uses the identified conceptual and methodological approaches to map, assess and explore future climate risk drivers for Helsinki. Focus is on the dynamic changes in socio-economic and spatial drivers, such as city development, population structure, well-being, state of economy, infrastructure. Close summary |

Niitä pidetään arvokkaina, mutta syy sille on epäselvä, tai olemassa olevat selitykset ovat epätyydyttäviä.Objektiivisen arvon teoriat eivät pysty tyydyttävästi käsittelemään luonnossa esiintyvien koosteiden arvoa, koska sanotut koosteet ovat luonteeltaan epämääräisiä. Tutkimuksessa esitetään koosteiden arvon ja niiden määrittelyn olevan arvottajasta riippuvaa, subjektiivista. Tutkimuksen erityisenä tavoitteena on määritellä arvottaja mielelliseksi toimijaksi, joka suuntaa intentionsa arvottamaansa asiaan. Tällainen toimija on ensisijaisesti intentionaalinen mieli, riippumatta sen fyysisestä kantajasta. Eli arvottaja voi olla jokin muukin olio kuin ihminen. Close summary |

An inquiry into a creative knitting field and a standard-setting fieldWool is a renewable and biodegradable natural fibre but it is uncertain that the wool yarn that we knit or that factories use to weave our clothes is sustainable throughout the whole supply chain. Should we buy organic, ethical, or responsible wool, and how do these labels resonate with the values of farmers, yarn makers, garment producers, and creative users? This research project examines how actors negotiate the values and evaluative principles that constitute socially constructed notions of sustainability in a particular context and how these are used to produce societal resources that support sustainable production. It zooms in to focus on local solutions produced through political consumerism, creative participation and entrepreneuring. It zooms out to study global solutions constructed in standardisation and private regulation initiatives. The project contributes to a societal discussion on the sustainability of wool by engaging with local and global stakeholders.Close summary |

Yksittäiset moraaliarvostelmat, kuten ?yksityisautoilu on väärin? tai ?on väärin syödä lihaa? voivat tuntua kohtuuttomilta ja epäintuitiivisilta.
