This chapter addressses the transformations within journalism that are engendered by the new digital technology. The basic claim is that in these circumstances journalists need to think about not only how to adapt the technology to their established ways of working, but also explore what new forms of professional practices can emerge. In particular the theme of interaction, invarious forms, with t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Malaria och tuberkulos är två av de mest dödliga infektionssjukdomarna i världen. Biologiskt är de två infektionerna mycket olika; malaria orsakas av en encellig parasit, en plasmodium, som sprids mellan personer med hjälp av myggbett, och tuberkulos av en bakterie som sprids via upphostade bakterier. Vidare drabbar malaria vanligtvis blodomloppet medan tuberkulos oftasMalaria and tuberculosis are two of the most deadly infectious diseases that exist. Both diseases predominantly affect the most vunerable parts of society. Additionally the treatment of both diseases are complicated by growing and spreading resistance against the drugs used to treat them. Chloroquine was once described as a wonder drug for its combination of efficacy, low price and tolerable side

This thesis contains a description of the Lund-Potsdam-Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (LPJ-DGVM) and its application to infer the role of vegetation dynamics on atmospheric CO2 content at different time-scales. The model combines vegetation dynamics and biogeochemistry in a modular framework. Individual modules describe ecosystems processes, including vegetation resource competition and prod

In many natural ecosystems, predation is well recognized as a strong evolutionary force, and predator-mediated selection has been demonstrated to induce changes in prey morphology, life history and behaviour. In my thesis, I have focused on behavioural responses in aquatic prey under the risk of predation. I have used two different species of prey, the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) from high and low

Popular Abstract in Swedish Materien strävar efter största möjliga oordning (entropi). Det krävs ett aktivt ingripande (energitillskott) för att ordna och separera saker. Har man väl hällt salt i teet är det svårt att ta bort, och byta ut det mot socker. Vid framställningen av olika ämnen får man ofta ut en blandning som även innehåller sådant man inte vill ha, och måste hitta sätt att skilja dem The purification of proteins from raw materials like fermentation broth and other biological sources usually involves several purification steps and is rather time consuming and expensive. This is a major concern in the production of many important protein products e.g. pharmaceuticals such as insulin and blood coagulation factors. One way to speed up the isolation of protein from particle-contai
