The brick and pottery fabricator Ekeby bruk was situated in Uppsalas western parts. The factory was active from 1886 into the 1970s. Ekeby bruk was for a long time one of the most successful brick and ceramics manufacturers in Sweden. The clay used in the production was taken from the area where the factory was located. The pits from where the clay was taken is believed to have been used as landfill for the waste generated during production. Since there had been suspicion that the area could be contaminated, sampling of soil and groundwater where conducted. The samples have shown that the soil contains high levels of lead and barium. In order to examine what risks this poses to humans and the environment a risk classification of the area is performed. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has developed a method for examine contaminated sites, called MIFO. The risk of the contaminated object classified on the basis of parameters; pollution hazards, pollution level, conditions for spreading, and sensitivity and the protection value. The purpose of this independent work in geoscience is that to, with the use of a soil engineering survey made by company Tyréns performed in behalf of Uppsala kommun make an investigation in accordance with MIFO phase 2. The risk classification made in this study is then compared with the one Tyréns made in their reportThe object is assigned class 2 in this survey, which means high risk. / I Uppsalas västra del låg tegel- och keramikverkstaden Ekeby bruk. Från 1886 och in på 1970-talet var fabriken verksam. Ekeby bruk var länge en av Sveriges mest framgångsrika tegel- och keramiktillverkare. Den lera som användes i tillverkningen togs från området där fabriken låg. Lergroparna tros sedan ha används som deponier för det avfall som uppkom under tillverkningen.                      Eftersom att det funnits misstanke om att området skulle vara förorenat har provtagning av jord och grundvatten utförts. Provtagningen har visat att det bland annat finns höga halter av bly och barium i marken. För att undersöka vilka risker detta för med sig för människor och miljö utförs en riskklassning av området.Naturvårdsverket har utvecklat en metod för att invitera förorenade platser, kallad MIFO. Det förorenade objektet riskklassas  utifrån parametrarna; föroreningarnas farlighet, föroreningsnivå, spridningsförutsättningar, samt känslighet och skyddsvärde.                      Syften med detta självständiga arbete i geovetenskap är att utföra en undersökning av Ekeby bruk enligt MIFO fas 2. Detta kommer göras med hjälp av en markteknisk undersökning som företaget Tyréns utfört i uppdrag av Uppsala kommun. En jämförelse kommer göras mellan riskklassningen som satts i Tyréns rapport och den som sätts i den här undersökningen. Objektet, Ekeby bruk, tilldelas i denna undersökning riskklass 2, vilket innebär stor risk.

The ransom logion, as presented in Mark 10.45/Matthew 20.28, is the only place in the synoptic gospels outside the Eucharist where Jesus gives a beneficial interpretation of his upcoming death. This fact has generated much discussion about the authenticity and scriptural background of the ransom logion as found in Mark 10.45/Matthew 20.28. However, no one has examined the early reception of the ransom logion, nor has anyone explored the significance of that reception for the critical study of Mark 10.45/Matthew 20.28. The purpose of this study is to fill these lacunae in the literature. First, this study examines the reception of the ransom logion from the New Testament through the third century. Preceding this examination is a methodology for surveying traditions that stretch across the New Testament and into the Early Christian periods. Second, this study explores the potential significance of the reception of the ransom logion for the critical study of Mark 10.45/Matthew 20.28. The rationale for this exploration relies on the fact that there are observable patterns displayed in the reception of the ransom logion, which may reflect how the ransom logion functions in Mark 10.45/Matthew 20.28. Specifically, the study explores the significance of these patterns as they relate to the origin of the ransom logion in a Eucharistic setting, a pre-existent coming in Mark 10.45/Matthew 20.28, and the scriptural background of Mark 10.45/Matthew 20.28.

I Sverige har antalet förorenade områden kartlagts till omkring 80 000. Runtom i landet arbetar man med att kartlägga och sanera dessa föroreningar. Utifrån föroreningens karaktär väljs olika undersökningsmetoder. Traditionella undersökningsmetoder som tillämpas på förorenade områden är oftast jord- och grundvattenprovtagning. Dessa metoder kan innebära mycket arbete och höga kostnader eftersom föroreningar oftast sprider sig över stora ytor. På grund av dessa svårigheter som kan förekomma skulle det vara attraktivt att finna en metod som kan ge en översiktlig bedömning av hur föroreningssituationen ser ut innan eventuell borrning och grävning genomförs. En möjlig metod skulle kunna vara att använda sig av träd som en källa till insamling av prover istället för jord och vatten. Trädprovtagning kräver en tillväxtborr för att få ut trädkärnan. Utöver trädkärnor har projektet även inbegripit jord- och rotprover, detta för att avgöra ifall det finns något samband för var i trädet som upptaget sker. Studien inbegrep 45 träd varav två referensträd. Utav dessa fanns tre granar, två tallar och resterande fyrtio var björkar. Analyserna gällde metaller och studien har fokuserat på arsenik, bly, koppar och zink. Analysresultaten gällande den linjära regressionen visade inget tydligt samband mellan metallhalten i jorden och metallhalten i trädkärna respektive roten (maximalt R2-värde = 0,30). Däremot kunde man se ett tydligare samband mellan metallhalt för jord och rot jämfört med halterna i jord och trädkärna. Trädprovtagning skulle i framtiden kunna vara en lämplig metod men det krävs vidare försök och utveckling inom området. / The number of polluted areas in Sweden has been estimated to around 80 000. Therefore, during the last decade, a lot of time and effort have been spent to characterize the contaminants and assess the hazard at many of these sites. In some rare cases remedial action has already been completed. Traditionally survey methods such as groundwater and soil sampling are applied to determine the degree of pollution at contaminated site. These methods generally mean a lot of work and high costs as pollutants often are distributed unevenly at the site. These sampling techniques may also influence the surroundings. Because of the difficulties that may occur, it would be attractive to find an alternative sampling method that can provide an overall assessment of the pollution situation before any drilling and excavation is carried out. Tree sampling requires an increment borer to extract the tree-core. To see if there is any connection of where the tree uptake is made, this study also includes samples taken from soil and roots. One potential method is to use trees as a source of material for sampling instead of soil and water. Tree sampling requires only an increment borer to extract the tree-core. As the accumulation ability may vary with different plant organs samples in this study was taken from both roots and stems. To analyse the relationship between pollutants in soil and in tree organs soil samples were also included. The study material consisted of samples from 45 trees on site and two referential trees. There were three firs, two pines and the remainder forty was birches. The analysis made where on metals and the study focused on arsenic, lead, copper and zinc. Analyses of results by linear regression didn´t show any strong relationship between metal content in soil and metal content in the tree organs (max R2value = 0,30). However, it was possible to discern a stronger relationship between soil and roots than between soil and stems. There's a possibility that this study of tree samples might be a suitable method for the future, but still more tests needs to be done and more development needs in the field.
