The aquatic microbiota is known to be an important factor in the sustainability of the natural water ecosystems. However, the microbial community also might include pathogens, which result in very serious waterborne diseases in humans and animals. Faecal pollution is the major cause of these diseases. Therefore, it is of immense importance to assess the potential impact of faecal pollution, originating from both anthropogenic and zoogenic sources, on the profile of microbial communities in natural water environments. To this end, the microbial taxonomic diversity of lotic ecosystems in different regions of Norway, representing urban and rural areas, exposed to various levels of faecal pollution, was investigated over the course of a 1-year period. The highest microbial diversity was found in rural water that was the least faecally polluted, while the lowest was found in urban water with the highest faecal contamination. The overall diversity of the aquatic microbial community was significantly reduced in severely polluted water. In addition, the community compositions diverged between waters where the dominant pollution sources were of anthropogenic or zoogenic origin. The results provide new insight into the understanding of how faecal water contamination, specifically that of different origins, influences the microbial diversity of natural waters.

A grand societal challenge arises from an ageing population. Central governments respond by issuing an innovation imperative targeted at local municipalities as a major instrument to form a sustainable welfare sector policy. The presentation studies policies relating to one particular form of care innovation in the field of dementia care, in particular day care services provided by farmers – Farm Based Dementia Care – FBDC. The intention is to explore potential barriers to increased use of FBDC and the relevance of the current policy mix. Barriers are derived from innovation theory, theory of transaction costs, regulation and societal transformation. Observations from municipalities applying FBDC are used to understand the relevance of potential barriers. Relevant barriers are compared with the diversity of policies aiming to impact dementia care directly or indirectly, e.g. through general innovativeness at municipal level. Empirical observations are based on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with seven municipalities, complemented by contributions at workshops and previous analysis. When compared with the panel of policy measures and initiatives taken in order to make elderly care match future challenges from shifting demographics, we may identify strengths and weaknesses of policy aimed to manage the grand challenges arising from an ageing population.
