Long-term tall-tower eddy-covariance (EC) measurements have been recently established in three European pilot cities as part of the ICOS-Cities project. We conducted a comparison of EC software to ensure a reliable generation of interoperable flux estimates, which is the prerequisite for avoiding methodological biases and improving the comparability of the results. We analyzed datasets covering 5

Mice harbor ∼2800 intact copies of the retrotransposon Long Interspersed Element 1 (L1). The in vivo retrotransposition capacity of an L1 copy is defined by both its sequence integrity and epigenetic status, including DNA methylation of the monomeric units constituting young mouse L1 promoters. Locus-specific L1 methylation dynamics during development may therefore elucidate and explain spatiotemp

BACKGROUND: LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons are a notable endogenous source of mutagenesis in mammals. Notably, cancer cells can support unusual L1 retrotransposition and L1-associated sequence rearrangement mechanisms following DNA damage. Recent reports suggest that L1 is mobile in epithelial tumours and neural cells but, paradoxically, not in brain cancers.RESULTS: Here, using retrotransposon capt

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an environmentally harmful pollutant, is a byproduct of geothermal energy production. To reduce the H2S emissions, H2S-charged water is injected into the basaltic subsurface, where it mineralizes to iron sulfides. Here, we couple geophysical induced polarization (IP) measurements in H2S injection wells and geochemical reactive transport models (RTM) to monitor the H2S stora

β-lactam antibiotics represent a novel direction in the chemotherapy of tuberculosis that brings the peptidoglycan layer of the complex mycobacterial cell wall in focus as a therapeutic target. Peptidoglycan stability in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, especially during infection, relies on the nonconventional peptide cross-links formed by l,d-transpeptidases. These enzymes are known to be inhibited b

We investigated the role of phosphorus (P) impurities on the fracture toughness and underlying failure mechanisms by means of classical atomistic modeling for a set of ⟨110⟩ symmetric tilt tungsten grain boundaries (GBs). This entailed the utilization of a quasi-static mode I displacement-controlled setup with cohesive zone volume elements (CZVEs) to study failure mechanisms and evaluate the fract

This thesis examines Flatus lifir, a widely recognized phenomenon in Iceland’s rural public space. Located in Kollafjörður on the outskirts of Reykjavík, the work has existed in several different forms over time and has become embedded within Icelandic public memory and popular culture. It appeared as an anonymous graffiti tag decades ago and later evolved into three distinct mural iterations in t

The modern construction industry is heavily resource-intensive, generating billions of tons of waste annually and contributing significantly to global carbon emissions. While recycling initiatives have grown, low-grade demolition debris such as broken bricks are systematically downcycled rather than reintegrated into structural architectural components due to their inherent heterogeneity and irreg

In Chinese fan fiction communities, the reporting button was made for flagging inappropriate content, but it has become a weapon in community conflict. An anonymous report can trigger removal or suspension, and those affected receive little explanation of how the decision was made. This thesis names this phenomenon weaponised reporting and asks how it operates and how targets pursue remedies under

Smygehus havsbad, en stor konferens-, spa-och hotellanläggning som började byggas vid förra sekelskiftet. Anläggningen består av flera olika byggnader som har byggts och renoverats i olika etapper genom åren. I gamla byggnader finns det ofta, med dagens mått, en bristfällig energiprestanda. Med anledning av ökade energipriser och klimattänk i beaktande har detta blivit allt mer märkbart. Det är dä

Despite the growing importance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a key tool to assess the environmental impact of products and services, many companies struggle with its implementation, lacking internal structures and capabilities to incorporate it into their operations. This thesis aims to understand the factors influencing companies' implementation of LCA, examining both drivers and barriers

Around the world, hard-won feminist progress is facing an organised and severe backlash. This thesis examines how formal feminist organisations in Kenya construct, defend, and sustain gender-justice narratives on Facebook amid a challenging "post-truth" digital landscape. Drawing on Nancy Fraser’s theory of subaltern counterpublics and employing digital ethnography, the study investigate

This thesis examines how survival is articulated and practiced within two queer community choirs in Malmö and Berlin. Situated within a European context marked by increasing anti-gender politics and queer precarity, the study conceptualizes queer survival as a collective and political practice grounded in care, resilience and futurity. Drawing on queer theory and queer political sociology, it expl

Zinc-Manganese dioxide (MnO₂) batteries have garnered significant interest due to their high energy density, low cost and low toxicity. Crystalline MnO₂ has shown structural transformations during the intercalation and deintercalation of Zn, which influences the performance of the battery. Recent studies have demonstrated that amorphous MnO₂ shows better Zn storage capacity due to an increase in s
