Nationell luftövervakning Sakrapport med data från övervakning inom Programområde Luft t.o.m 2019
- 2021

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Naturvårdsverket ansvarar för den nationella luftövervakningen i bakgrundsmiljö i Sverige. I rapporten redovisas resultat från verksamheten inom Programområde Luft avseende mätningar (genomförda av IVL, SU, SLU och SMHI) till och med 2019 och regionala modellberäkningar (utförda av SMHI) till och med 2018.För flertalet av de luftföroreningskomponenter som övervakas inom den nationella miljöövervakningen har det, sedan mätningarna startade för mellan 20 och 40 år sedan, generellt sett skett en avsevärd förbättring avseende såväl halter i luft som deposition i bakgrundsmiljö. Utvecklingen har dock varierat i något olika utsträckning beroende på komponenter och lokalisering i landet. Föroreningsbelastningen är oftast lägre ju längre norrut i landet man kommer.För de flesta ämnen som det finns miljökvalitetsnormer (MKN) respektive miljömål för ligger halterna i regional bakgrund avsevärt lägre än angivna gräns- och målvärden. Halterna av ozon överskrider dock i dagsläget (2019) MKN för hälsa.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An important aspect of precision medicine is to probe the stability in molecular profiles among healthy individuals over time. Here, we sample a longitudinal wellness cohort with 100 healthy individuals and analyze blood molecular profiles including proteomics, transcriptomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, autoantibodies andimmune cell profiling, complementedwith gut microbiota composition and routine clinical chemistry. Overall, our results show high variation between individuals across different molecular readouts, while the intra-individual baseline variation is low. The analyses show that each individual has a unique and stable plasma protein profile throughout the study period and that many individuals also show distinct profiles with regards to the other omics datasets, with strong underlying connections between the blood proteome and the clinical chemistry parameters. In conclusion, the results support an individual-based definition of health and show that comprehensive omics profiling in a longitudinal manner is a path forward for precision medicine.

- PURPOSE: This randomized multicenter, open-label, trial compared efficacy, acceptability, tolerability and compliance of NuvaRing with a combined oral contraceptive (COC), containing 30 mug of ethinyl estradiol (EE) and 3 mg of drospirenone. METHOD: In this 13-cycle study, 983 women were randomized and treated (intent-to-treat population) with NuvaRing or COC. RESULTS: One in-treatment pregnancy occurred with NuvaRing (Pearl Index=0.25) (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.006, 1.363) and four with the COC (Pearl Index=0.99) (95% CI: 0.269, 2.530). For both groups, compliance (89.2% NuvaRing, 85.5% COC) and satisfaction (84% NuvaRing; 87% COC) were high; the vast majority of women found NuvaRing easy to insert (96%) and remove (97%). Tolerability was similar; the most frequent adverse events with NuvaRing were related to ring use, whereas estrogen-related events were more common with the COC. CONCLUSION: NuvaRing has comparable efficacy and tolerability to a COC containing 30 mug of EE and 3 mg drospirenone. User acceptability of both methods was high.

Bannlys alla politiska beslut som ger mer klimatutsläpp

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Torftig valdebatt. Dagspolitiken klarar inte att hantera ödesfrågan om klimatet, vilket oroar oss. Vi föreslår därför ett ”utsläppsmoratorium”: inga beslut får tas som ökar utsläppen av växthusgaser. Principen måste kopplas till mål om exempelvis förnybar energi och grön infrastruktur, skriver 23 forskare och debattörer.

A Condition Monitoring Scheme for Semiconductor Devices in Modular Multilevel Converters with Cascaded H-Bridge Submodules

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, a novel online semiconductor device monitoring scheme is presented. The condition monitoring (CM) scheme is based on measuring the ON-state voltage drop of semiconductor devices, and tracking the changes in their ON-state resistance. The proposed solution measures the ON-state voltage of semiconductor devices at a controlled and readily measurable temperature. This allows for accurate CM of semiconductors as it decouples temperature related and degradation related changes in the ON-state voltage. The temperature decoupling is achieved using natural switching redundancies available to modular multilevel converter systems. Hence, the proposed CM scheme does not interfere with the output voltages and currents generated by the converter.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents an online condition monitoring (CM) scheme for semiconductors used in modular multilevel converters (MMCs) that comprise cascaded H-bridge submodules. The CM algorithm is based on detecting changes in the ON-state resistance of the semiconductors over time. The proposed method is shown to successfully perform a curve tracing of semiconductors in MMCs while the semiconductor junction remains at a temperature that is readily measurable and undergoes minute changes during the measurement process. The ON-state resistance value is estimated from the measured ON-state voltage drop of the semiconductors and the measured arm current. Measuring the ON-state resistance at known temperatures allows for separating temperature-dependent variations of the ON-state resistance from age-dependent variations of this parameter. Suitable methods for reducing the effect of noise on the curve-traced data are proposed, and a recursive least square estimator is used to extract the optimum ON-state resistance from the traced v(CE) - i

Online Health Monitoring of DC-Link Capacitors in Modular Multilevel Converters for FACTS and HVDC Applications

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents an online health monitoring scheme for dc capacitors in modular multilevel converters (MMCs). The health monitoring algorithm is based on detecting changes in the dc capacitance value over time. The proposed algorithm only utilizes measurements that are typically available in flexible alternating current transmission systems and high-voltage direct current applications. Hence, in the proposed estimation method, no additional sensors are used. The estimation scheme considers the presence of noise in voltage and current measurements, and utilizes a recursive least square estimator in conjunction with a special low-pass filter to minimize the estimation errors. Simulation results of a hardware replica, as well as experimental results on a low-power MMC prototype show that the proposed scheme can identify the dc-link capacitance value with a maximum error of 1%.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, the effect of temperature on online heath monitoring of dc capacitors in modular multilevel converters (MMCs) is studied. The submodule capacitance value is considered as the main indicator of health. Both self heating and ambient temperature are considered as sources of temperature variation. The study is conducted on a single phase MMC with full-bridge submodules. However, a similar analysis can be used for half-bridge MMCs and multiphase MMCs as well. The thermal behaviour of the capacitors is explained analytically and simulated using a simplified Cauer model. The effect of temperature on the estimated capacitance values is shown, and a method for reducing this effect is proposed. The results are verified using simulations in MATLAB/Simulink.
