When we refer to the countryside, we associate it with the city. In the path of urbanization, the countryside developed in the direction of eventually becoming a city. In 2017, China began to implement the rural revitalization policy to avoid the erasure of the characteristics of the Chinese countryside. The rural revitalization policy involves many aspects, such as politics, economy, and culture,
Forests and forest products are important, not just for timber production, the forest ecosystem plays several important roles, such as water purification, carbon sequestration for climate mitigation and recreational values. How the forests are managed varies throughout the globe, in Sweden the most used system is the clearcutting system (CF), however continuous cover forestry (CCF) is gaining popu
The Solar energy is playing a fundamental role in the transition to a low carbon electricity production system. Driven by rapidly decreasing prices for solar installations in the last years, the solar energy market in Europe is currently undergoing a transformation. Subsidies such as feed-in tariffs are being phased out and replaced with the possibility to self-consume solar energy, earning a prof
Vilken roll Hippocampus har i det episodiska minnessystemet är hett omdebatterat. En nylanserad teori, Competitive Trace Theory, stipulerar att strukturen ”kontextualiserar” minnen genom att skapa nya, multimodala minnesspår vid varje reaktivering av dem. Alla olika minnesspår har en gemensam, överlappande komponent samt en unik icke-överlappande komponent, och spåren konkurrerar om att slutligenThe role of the Hippocampus in episodic memory has been fervently discussed for a long time. A new model, titled ”Competitive Trace Theory”, holds that the role of this temporal lobe structure is to “contextualize” memory. This is achieved by the establishing of new, multi-modal memory traces every time the memory is reactivated. These distinct memory patterns all share a mutual component of the m
This thesis examines the impact of Guerrilla Gardening and Guerrilla Knitting (also known as Yarn Bombing) in and on the city. Examining definitions and distortions of the notions of ‘the vandal’, ‘the activist/craftivist’ and ‘guerillaisms’ that are made via these movements illustrates an expanding notion of the ‘urban dweller’. Tackled in terms of approaches, public and situationist theory, the
The versatile energy carrier hydrogen has the potential to reach otherwise hard-to-abate sectors and is of importance for the energy transition and the full decarbonisation of the energy systems. In the meantime, the offshore wind power is predicted to increase where large amounts of electricity can be produced. Using offshore wind power as an energy supply for water electrolysis enables a large-s
This thesis investigates how urban street design can be reimagined to increase livable public space and improve residents’ perceptions of safety in dense urban neighborhoods. Focusing on the districts of Högaborg, Eneborg, and Söder in Helsingborg, Sweden, the study examines how streetscape design interventions can address persistent negative perceptions of these areas, which residents often regar
Blue carbon, defined as carbon fixed by marine plants, has gained attention as a climate change mitigation strategy. Coastal ecosystems play an important role in blue carbon storage due to their high carbon burial rates. Although the dynamics of the partial pressure of CO2 in seawater (pCO2) are closely related to blue carbon processes, studies investigating pCO2 variability in coastal areas remai
This thesis examines contemporary heathland management in Western Jutland, Denmark, focusing on how diverse forms of knowledge – embodied, institutional, and scientific – shape management and conservation practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with shepherds and interviews with municipal staff, and Nature Agency officials, the study analyzes the negotiations that underpin the governance of the
Investigates memory initiatives in three of the world’s hardest to solve conflicts and how they can be invested with more constructive dynamics Agonistic memory work as a framework for conflict transformation In-depth case studies from Colombia, Israel-Palestine, and Northern Ireland Careful historical tracing of memory politics in zones of protracted conflict Agonistic memory dialogues a
Protein deletions are frequent among both disease-causing and tolerated variants. Several mechanisms at the DNA, RNA and protein levels can lead to deletions. Many deletions are misclassified in the literature and databases, especially when the mRNA is degraded by the cellular quality-control mechanism. We developed a novel predictor for sequence retaining protein deletions, i.e., variants that do
Ouagadougou is a city with three million inhabitants and an increasing demand for water of sufficient quality. New boreholes are drilled to match demand, but their protection from anthropogenic contamination is insufficient. To assess the quality of urban groundwater in Ouagadougou for the first time, a total of 32 borehole water samples were collected and assessed for bacteriological and physicoc
Neuroanatomical findings on youth anxiety disorders are notoriously difficult to replicate, small in effect size and have limited clinical relevance. These concerns have prompted a paradigm shift toward highly powered (that is, big data) individual-level inferences, which are data driven, transdiagnostic and neurobiologically informed. Here we built and validated supervised neuroanatomical machine
Fibrillarin (FBL), a core component of the C/D box small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) complex, catalyzes the 2′-O-methylation (Nm) of the ribose 2′-hydroxyl moiety in ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Distinct Nm patterns contribute to ribosome heterogeneity, which is linked to selective translation of oncogenes. FBL dysregulation generates an aberrant Nm signature in triple-negative breast cancer (TN
Transplantation of human fetal ventral mesencephalic tissue in individuals with Parkinson's disease has yielded clinical benefits but also side effects, such as graft-induced dyskinesias. The open-label TransEuro trial ( NCT01898390 ) was designed to determine whether this approach could be further developed into a clinically useful treatment. Owing to poor availability of human fetal ventral mese
