description: Sediments underlying hypoxic or anoxic water bodies constitute a net source of phosphorus to the bottom water. This source has the potential to enhance eutrophication. Benthic fluxes of dissolved phosphorus, iron and manganese were measured from hypoxic, normoxic, and normoxic bioturbated by the invasive polychaete Marenzelleria arctia sediment in a mesocosm experiment. The highest benthic phosphorus efflux was detected in mesocosms with the hypoxic treatment. Normoxic, bioturbated sediments led to weaker retention of phosphorus compared to oxic, defaunated sediments. Both iron and manganese fluxes increased under bioturbated conditions compared to defaunated sediments. This study shows that re-oxygenation of previously anoxic coastal sediments enhance phosphorus retention in the sediments. Colonisation by M. arctia induce strong mobilisation of iron and manganese due to its intense bioirrigation, which facilitates organic matter degradation and decreases the phosphorus retention by metal oxides in sediment.

description: We address the accuracy of replication of wave properties of the Baltic Sea using two wave climate simulations for the period of 1970–2007. Both are based on the spectral wave model, WAM, with a resolution of 3 nautical miles in hypothetical ice-free conditions. One of them used adjusted geostrophic wind fields from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute database and the other applied high-resolution COSMO-CLM 4.8 winds. The outcome of both simulations is compared with available instrumentally measured wave heights. Simulations using geostrophic winds systematically underestimated wave heights, whereas the hindcast using COSMO winds tended to overestimate wave heights. The simulation with COSMO winds provides an acceptable match with measured data in the entire sea. The hindcast forced with geostrophic winds is only adequate at the latitudes of the Gulf of Finland.

description: Purpose: Scientific Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) literature provides some examples of LCA teaching in higher education, but not a structured overview of LCA teaching contents and related competencies. Hence this paper aims at assessing and highlighting trends in LCA learning outcomes, teaching approaches and developed content used to equip graduates for their future professional practices in sustainability.

Methods: Based on a literature review on teaching LCA in higher education and a collaborative consensus building approach through expert group panel discussions, an overview of LCA learning and competency levels with related teaching contents and corresponding workload is developed. The levels are built on the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) and Bloom’s taxonomy of learning.

Results and discussion: The paper frames five LCA learning and competency levels that differ in terms of study program integration, workload, cognitive domain categories, learning outcomes, and envisioned professional skills. It furthermore provides insights into teaching approaches and content, including software use, related to these levels.

Conclusions and recommendations: This paper encourages and supports higher educational bodies to implement a minimum of ‘life cycle literacy’ into students’ curriculum across various domains by increasing the availability, visibility and quality of their teaching on life cycle thinking and LCA.

description: We monitored NOx fluxes in an empty chamber and in chambers containing Scots pine shoots. Our aims were to observe how the chamber blank behaves in non-controlled field conditions and at low ambient NOx concentrations, to find ways of reducing deleterious wall effects, and to evolve a method for a blank correction. We found that solar ultraviolet radiation induced NOx emission from the chamber walls. Comparisons between blanks of several chambers showed that the chambers were not identical. We therefore recommend that a separate blank chamber will be monitored together with the branch chambers in long-term field measurements. At regular time intervals, all of the chambers should be measured simultaneously while empty and the regression between the UV irradiance and NOx flux determined for each chamber. In case the chambers differ from each other, the blank could be corrected with the UV-regression coefficients obtained.

description: This study aims to investigate sea level variability on the coasts of Finland and its changes over the past 100 years. The sea level probability distributions have apparently changed in shape. The annual maximum sea levels show a significant increasing trend, the increase being concentrated in the latter half of the 20th century. Annual variability shows an apparent increasing trend with the most pronounced increase occurring in the 1960s and 1970s. This was confirmed by examining the standard deviations as well as the spectra of the sea level. Short-period variability of the order of only a few days shows long-term changes that well exceed random variations, and it is therefore permissible to interpret these variations as reflecting the variations of short-term meteorological phenomena. The variations are not the same in different basins, but a minimum in the 1960s and a subsequent increase in the wintertime variability up to the 1980s can be seen in all of them. In the Gulf of Finland a 30 year cycle was found in the short term variability. On the other hand, the overall trend during the 20th century shows only a marginal increase that is not statistically significant. For all Finnish tide gauges, the annual mean sea level was found to be linked significantly with the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) air pressure index. The annual standard deviation of the sea level also correlates with the NAO, but the correlation is not statistically significant in every basin.

description: A new coupled photochemistry/aerosol model has been developed for studies of multicomponent aerosol dynamics. The photochemistry module, based on the reaction mechanisms of OSLO-CTM2 global model, has been extended with a simple oxidation scheme of volatile organic gases to produce condensable products. The aerosol module is a further development of UHMA (University of Helsinki Multicomponent Aerosol model) which incorporates all major aerosol dynamic processes with a special focus on new particle formation and growth. The new model explicitly incorporates production and loss terms from photochemistry into the calculation of condensation fluxes and nucleation rates, making the two models completely interactive. In this paper, we apply the new model to investigate the role of photochemistry and biogenic emissions in new aerosol formation and growth. Although using a simplified photochemistry scheme, the model allows for analysis of the evolution of chemical composition of an air mass simultaneously with the aerosol size distribution. The simulation results suggest a classification of air masses which goes beyond describing the air as \clean\ or \polluted\.

description: Meteorological parameters of windstorm Gudrun on 8–9 January 2005 and its hydrodynamic and environmental consequences are analysed on the basis of observational data and hydrodynamic modelling. The study focuses mainly on describing events and reception in Estonia. We estimate that in meteorological terms, the cyclone was among the five most powerful ones in recorded history. Considering also the new highest storm surge record (275 cm in Pärnu), extensive property damage and massive media coverage, it became the most influential natural disaster in Estonia. Using a shallow sea 2D hydrodynamic model with a 1-km grid step, a hindcast modelling study of the sea level was carried out. Hydrodynamic simulations suggest that an inflow of 24 km3 (5.4% of the Gulf's average volume) occurred in the Gulf of Riga. The sub-basin of the Väinameri was nearly entirely flushed through by more saline and nutrient-poorer water from the Baltic Proper. The simulated current velocities, sea levels and wave parameters indicate that prominent coastline changes and replacement of sediments could have occurred within a single day.

description: The coefficient of thermal expansion in the radial direction for wet fresh wood was determined for two coniferous species Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies and three broad-leaved species Acer platanoides, Betula pendula and Alnus incana. The diameter variation of 7–11 samples of each species was measured in a water heat bath with a linear variable displacement transducer (LVDT). The temperature range was 5–45 °C. The average values for the coefficient of thermal expansion varied between 7.9 x 10–6 and 17.5 x 10–6 °C–1. Heating and cooling gave similar results for all the species and no hysteresis was observed. The results show that the coefficient of thermal expansion for wet green wood is a positive number as for dry wood and timber, contrary to values mentioned in literature. The coefficient is lower than that of dry timber and of the same order of magnitude as the coefficient of many commonly used metals and alloys. In field measurements of tree stem diameter variations an LVDT is usually attached to a metal frame. The similar magnitude of the coefficients means that the accuracy of absolute values of tree stem diameter variations is dominated by the temperature difference between the stem and the surrounding air. However, if both the temperatures are measured, the error in stem diameter variation measurements resulting from the thermal expansion can be corrected.

description: The main chemical composition of PM1 (total organics, black carbon, sulphate, nitrate and ammonium), mass concentrations of PM2.5 and PM2.5–10 and concentration of specific trace gases were measured in a high temporal resolution from May 2013 to April 2015 in the city centre of Helsinki, Finland. On average, the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM2.5–10 were 9.1 µg m–3 and 16 µg m–3, respectively, during a two-year campaign. PM1 consisted mostly of organics (60%), followed by sulphate (12%), black carbon (11%), nitrate (9.8%) and ammonium (6.5%). The particle and gas data were combined with the meteorological data in order to obtain information on how local meteorology affects concentrations of air pollutants. Two meteorological parameters that mostly affected the pollutant concentrations were the wind speed and temperature, while sulphate and PM2.5–10 were also impacted by the relative humidity. The highest concentrations of the measured PM1 components were observed when the wind was calm or the temperature was either very cold or very warm. PM2.5–10 concentrations were at the highest during calm or very windy conditions, due to local street and construction dust. The seasonal- and diurnal-varying mixing height did not seem to affect markedly the concentrations of pollutants. Overall, air quality in terms of the aerosol mass was governed by three different main pollution sources in the Helsinki city centre: 1) local sources, of which traffic-related emissions were the most important; 2) long-range or regional transport of pollutants; and 3) local sources of organic aerosol.
Gulf of Bothnia receives high concentrations of potentially toxic metals from acid sulphate soils

Year: 2006

description: An estimated 460000 ha of acid sulphate soil (AS soil) occur within the river catchments bordering the Gulf of Bothnia in Finland and Sweden. This soil type exists because extensive areas of sulphide-bearing Holocene sediments have been drained for agricultural purposes, resulting in oxidation of metal sulphides to sulphuric acid and the concomitant formation of these acidic, environmentally-unfriendly soils. The aim of this study was to compare median values of metal concentrations in rivers discharging into the Gulf of Bothnia and obtain a uniform picture of to what extent these rivers are affected by AS-soil leaching. Dissolved element concentrations for arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) were determined in 47 rivers (catchment size > 500 km2) discharging into Gulf of Bothnia (a few into Gulf of Finland) along the coastline of Finland and Sweden. Water chemistry data was obtained from the Environmental Information System (HERTTA) database at the Finnish Environment Institute, the publicly available online database at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Environmental Assessment, and from a previous study of the authors. One area in central-western Finland proved to have highly elevated concentrations of Cd, Ni and Zn, and they all occurred with a similar spatial pattern and had the highest concentrations in rivers Teuvanjoki and Maalahdenjoki. This is caused by AS-soil leaching. The metalloid As and the metals Cr, Fe, Pb did not display this pattern and are, therefore, in line with previous studies, not leached abundantly from the AS soils, although they overall occur at somewhat higher concentrations in the Finnish as compared with those in the Swedish rivers. Thorough planning of land-use operations (e.g land reclamation through ditching, dredging of rivers and estuaries, etc.) in AS-soil landscapes should be necessary, which is currently not the case, to reduce the high concentrations of Cd, Ni and Zn in rivers.

description: We reported on the observation of extremely high-density ($>10^{14}$cm$^{-2}$) 2D electron gas in N-polar AlGaN/GaN heterostructures grown on sapphire substrates. Due to introducing the GaN/AlN superlattice (SL) back barrier between the GaN buffer layer and AlGaN barrier layer, we observed a giant enhancement of the 2D electron gas density at the GaN/AlGaN interface from $3\times10^{13}$cm$^{-2}$ (without SL) to $1.4\times10^{14}$cm$^{-2}$ (with SL back barrier) that is only one order of magnitude below the intrinsic crystal limit of $\approx10^{15}$cm$^{-2}$. We found that the changes of 2D electron gas density with SL correlated well with the changes of the wafer warp parameter which suggests that the strains are responsible for the 2D electron gas density enhancement (reduction of the piezoelectric polarization in the GaN channel). Nevertheless, this finding is probably insufficient to fully explain the observed high 2D electron gas density. Simultaneously, the room temperature electron mobility was 169 cm$^2$/Vs, which with the electron density of $1.4\times10^{14}$cm$^{-2}$ gives a low sheet resistance of 264 $Ω$/sq (one of the lowest reported so far for the N-polar 2D electron gas channel). Finally, the possibility of application of such high-density 2D electron gas with low sheet resistance to transistors, emitters and detectors was discussed.

description: Coastal fish monitoring with multi-mesh gill nets and gill net series is carried out in eleven areas around the Baltic Sea. The purpose of the monitoring is to reveal population status and elucidate long-term trends of fish population and community development. Time series cover 9–20 years of annual monitoring, the last year being 2002. Significant increasing trends of perch and roach catches were observed in the archipelago region of the Sea of Åland and Archipelago Sea. A possible reason for these trends was ongoing coastal eutrophication. Significant trends with opposite directions appeared in two areas in the Gulf of Bothnia and two areas at the Swedish coast of the Baltic Proper. The Curonian Lagoon is severely affected by anthropogenic impact, structuring the local fish community. Indications of decreased eutrophication were noted in the Gulf of Riga. High fishing pressure during the 1990s in the West-Estonian archipelago and the following collapse of coastal fish stocks was apparent in the monitoring catches.

description: Pressure-based approach, morphoedaphic index and historical data were used in deriving reference conditions and classification criteria for the Estonian large lakes: Peipsi and Võrtsjärv. The comparison of the measured total phosphorus with the reference level based on the morphoedaphic index, shows that the water quality could be estimated as 'moderate' in lake Peipsi and 'good' in Võrtsjärv despite that the measured TP values were higher in the latter. Comparing the changes observed in different quality elements with the normative definitions for quality classes given in the Water Framework Directive yielded quality estimates from 'high' to 'moderate' for both lakes. Applying the \one-out all-out\ principle according to which the ecological status is determined by the biological quality element, which shows the greatest anthropogenic disturbance, both lakes fall unequivocally into the 'moderate' category. Averaging the quality estimates for lakes Peipsi and Võrtsjärv no matter whether on a quality element level or a single parameter level would indicate good status in both lakes that is close to the subjective cognitive expert opinion of the authors.

Geochemical expressions of late- and post-glacial land–sea interactions in the southern Baltic Sea
Creators: name: Müller, A.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2002

description: The coastal region of the southern Baltic Sea has been extremely sensitive to sea-level changes during the Quaternary. The present environment is comprised of coastal lagoons and is characterized by Pleistocene islands connected by Holocene barrier islands. To determine the effects of late- and post-glacial coastal development on the lagoon sediments, 13 sediment cores from 6 lagoons were investigated. Organic carbon to nitrogen (Corg/N), and organic carbon to sulfur ratios (Corg/S), [delta]13C, [delta]15N, organic carbon, biogenic opal and calcium carbonate values were measured and linked to the late- and post-glacial biostratigraphy of the sediments. Although, with the exception of the Oder lagoon, the lagoons show similarities in their paleoenvironments derived from the Corg/S ratios in the sediment, it is possible to derive the influence of the Baltic Sea waters. Corg/N ratios, [delta]13C, [delta]15N, organic carbon, biogenic opal and calcium carbonate values all reflect changes in productivity over time and influence of river input, transgression and erosion. The results were used to derive the effects of sea-level changes, coastal development and related changes in hydrography and accompanying accumulation processes at the bottom of the lagoons. The results of this study show that, depending on its position to the Baltic Sea, each lagoon responded differently to sea-level changes that occurred during the development of the Baltic Sea and to regional coastal development.

description: It has been generally assumed that sediments in the deepest parts of the Gotland Basin have accumulated in a relatively calm depositional environment during the entire Holocene, thus representing a continuous sedimentary record. As part of the Baltic Sea System Study (BASYS) we have had access to several long cores from the Gotland Deep, which we have investigated in detail. The study, utilising sediment physical properties (e.g., magnetic susceptibility) and lithostratigraphic (core descriptions, photographs, stereo X-ray radiographs) data, has shown that even over very short horizontal distances the sedimentary records reflect considerable variations in sediment accumulation. Definable sedimentary units show marked variation in thickness, including clear hiatuses. These indicate that environmental conditions have been far more dynamic than has been previously assumed, and that the patchy nature of sediment deposition in the Baltic Sea is characteristic also to the Gotland Deep. This is true especially of the Litorina Sea, Post-Litorina Sea and Recent Baltic Sea stages of the Baltic Sea (~ past 7500–8000 cal years BP). Due to the fact that sediment stratigraphy can change a lot even over very short distances in this deep basin, correlation between different cores should be done with great care. To produce a stratigraphically continuous sequence for the Gotland Deep, we have spliced data together from several different cores.

description: From numerical model simulations, fluxes of volume, heat and salt have been calculated for different hydrographical sections in areas which are important for the deep water exchange in the Baltic Sea. The calculated deep water flow in the Arkona basin is in accordance with independent estimations obtained from profile data. Model results reveal strong seasonal and inter-annual variability in the calculated fluxes. The variability is governed by the prevailing atmospheric conditions. It is found that the strength of the upper layer low saline flow in the Arkona Basin which on average is directed to the west, opposite to the mean wind direction, is compensated by a high saline flow in deeper layers. The upper layer flow is a combination of a flow forced by the fresh water surplus directed to the west, and a wind-driven part. In dependence on the prevailing wind conditions the resulting flow is either increased or decreased. Furthermore, increasing upper layer flow results in an increased lower layer flow in opposite direction. The annual mean flow is weakly correlated with the annual mean runoff to the Baltic Sea. In accordance with the mean circulation, the flow through the Bornholm Channel is on average directed to the east, and south of Bornholm to the west indicating an import of heat and salt to the Bornholm Basin through the Bornholm Channel and an export south of Bornholm. Flux characteristics change further downstream in the Stolpe Channel. The volume flow in the upper layer shows a strong seasonal signal. During autumn to spring the flow is mainly directed to the east, in summer, the flow direction is reversed. Flow in westerly directions is related to increased lower layer flow in easterly directions. On average, the net flow through the Stolpe channel is directed to the east which is in accordance with the mean circulation. Calculated fluxes show high intra- and inter-annual variability with no obvious trend during the simulation period. The variability of the deep water stratification in the deep basins of the Baltic Sea is directly controlled by the changing flux characteristics.

description: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in first-year classes that satisfy the WR 1 requirement. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style.
This essay begins from a critique of ecosystem services -- the concept of protecting natural environments as long as they are economically fruitful -- to argue that economics and conservation actually are inextricably linked and that trying to make a conservation policy with no regard to economic effects would be just as disastrous as having an economic policy that ignored environmental effects.
Boreal chironomid communities and their relations to environmental factors — the impact of lake depth, size and acidity
Creators: name: Mousavi, S.K.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2002

description: The relationship between chironomid community composition and certain lake characteristics was investigated using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) on literature-retrieved data sets from 38 localities in North America and 43 in northern Europe. Three separate analyses were performed, classifying the chironomids to subfamily, genus or species level. The results demonstrate that the occurrence and abundance of chironomids are a function of lake depth, size and acidity. The subfamily Diamesinae-Prodiamesinae was a good indicator of large deep lakes with higher pH values. Subfamily Orthocladiinae was an indicator of relatively small lakes with low pH and conductivity, while Tanytarsini occurred in lakes with relatively high pH value. Tanypodinae and in particular Chironomini appeared less influenced by the analyzed environmental factors than other chironomids. At the genus level, Ablabesmyia and Zalutschia and subgenus Psectrocladius and Monopsectrocladius dominated in small shallow lakes with low values of pH and conductivity, whereas Prodiamesa, Cryptotendipes, Thienemaniella, Paratendipes, Stempellina and Cricotopus dominated in large deep lakes with high pH. The most common chironomids, the genera Procladius, Tanytarsus and Chironomus, were less correlated with the environmental factors in the boreal lakes, although some Chironomus species appeared to be indicative of acid lakes.

title: Calling for the super citizen: contemporary naturalisation procedures in the United Kingdom and Germany
Creators: name: Badenhoop, Sophie Elisabeth

description: Naturalisation procedures through which states symbolically and legally recognise noncitizens as citizens offer the most secure legal status for migrants and a means for them to evade global inequalities in the world system of nation-states. This study critically examines contemporary citizenship admission procedures in the UK and Germany following the introduction of citizenship tests, courses and ceremonies in the early 2000s. Based on a multi-sited state ethnography of both countries, this thesis argues that naturalisation does not simply separate citizens by discretionary application from citizens by automatic right of birth. Rather, citizenship admission procedures suggest a specific subjectivity, the Super Citizen, insofar as ‘new’ German and British citizens are expected to become a political, economic and cultural asset to the state. This study thus conceptualises naturalisation processes as a specific subject-formation regime created through particular problematisations, rationalities, authorities and techniques as institutionalised by the state. 

The analysis begins with a brief reconstruction of the genealogy of naturalisation in Britain and Germany, focussing on the emergence of the distinction between nationals and ‘aliens’ or ‘foreigners’, respectively, as well as on the legal mechanisms put in place to differentiate their access to full membership. Using a thematic analysis of qualitative interviews, observations and official documents, the study then tracks contemporary citizenship applications in four research locations in the two countries. It visits ceremony halls, classrooms and naturalisation offices and considers the perspective of a range of actors involved in citizenship admission procedures. This includes those who implement naturalisation on behalf of the state such as officials, legal advisers, teachers, politicians, and guest speakers, as well as the lived experience of the citizenship applicants themselves. The thesis concludes that naturalisation procedures in both the UK and in Germany produce the Super Citizen as a particular, neoliberal and neonational subjectivity that holds newly naturalized citizens responsible for developing a new nationalism.
title: Clusters as surrogate for explicit short-range correlations in relativistic mean-field models
Creators: name: Typel, Stefan
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2024

description: The formation of clusters at sub-saturation densities in nuclear matter can be seen as a result of many-body correlations. Various theoretical models have been developed to take this effect into account, mostly on a phenomenological level using energy density functionals. These models are constructed in such a way that clusters appear solely in dilute matter and dissolve when the density approaches the nuclear saturation density. At higher densities only nucleons survive as quasi-particles and no explicit correlations between the constituents of nuclear matter are considered. The possible description of correlations with cluster degrees of freedom at supra-saturation densities is explored using the example of a quasi-deuteron in a generalized relativistic density functional. The required change in the density dependence of the cluster mass shift, responsible for describing the cluster dissolution in the present model, is derived for nuclear matter at zero temperature.
Spatiotemporal Patterns in Active Four-State Potts Models

description: Many types of spatiotemporal patterns have been observed under nonequilibrium conditions. Cycling through four or more states can provide specific dynamics, such as the spatial coexistence of multiple phases. However, transient dynamics have only been studied by previous theoretical models, since absorbing transition into a uniform phase covered by a single state occurs in the long-time limit. Here, we reported steady long-term dynamics using cyclic Potts models, wherein nucleation and growth play essential roles. Under the cyclic symmetry of the four states, the cyclic changes in the dominant phases and the spatial coexistence of the four phases are obtained at low and high flipping energies, respectively. Under asymmetric conditions, the spatial coexistence of two diagonal phases appears in addition to non-cyclic one-phase modes. The circular domains of the diagonal state are formed by the nucleation of other states, and they slowly shrink to reduce the domain boundary. When three-state cycling is added, competition between the two cycling modes changes the spatiotemporal patterns.

Population and Community Problems in County Planning

description: Excerpts: The general purpose of county planning may be said to be that of securing a better life for farm people. In order to secure this better life, certain objectives are set up. These vary greatly according to local conditions and according to the views of those setting up the objectives. But whatever these objectives are they must be subscribed to by the people themselves, and the actual program must be carried out by the people living in the local neighborhoods and communities. To this end it is necessary that suitable arrangements be made through which these local people can and will function. This brings us immediately to the core of the subject, Population, and Community Problems in County Planning. With respect to population, the chief question to be answered by those interested in planning is, Who are the people by whom and for whom these plans are to be made? Without his information a suitable program could hardly be formulated. With respect to the community, chief question is, What are the natural groupings among these people by and through which a planning program can be carried forward?
