A generic system for adhering cells to supported lipid bilayers

One of the main contributors in the immune system are T cells. The exact molecular mechanisms behind T cell activation are not yet fully understood but it starts through the contact between the T cell and an infected cell. In order to study such interaction, supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are used to mimic cell membranes and to reduce its complexity but still retaining the fundamental property of

The EU Waste Shipment Proposal and Its Implications for the Secondary Route Steel Production - A scenario analysis considering energy use, CO2 emissions, and environmental costs

The steel industry is one of the most polluting industries globally. There exists an EU waste shipment proposal that aims to restrict the EU export of waste in order to raise safe, environmental standards and circularity within the EU. Under this proposal, steel scrap is defined as waste and since the EU is the largest exporter of steel scrap globally, this has implications for the EU steel indust

Glucanova AB developed an oat bran and barley-based product and investigated the daylong effect on glucose respo

THE BRIDGE BETWEEN PHOTOGRAPHY AND SCIENCE: CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY AS A TOOL TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT ECOLOGICAL CONCERNS

Motivated by bridging the dichotomy between photography and science, this thesis considers how the selected group of scholar-practitioners view the role of critical environmental photography. Particularly, it surveys whether they think it can be used as a tool for raising awareness of environmental issues and whether it’s significant enough to encourage collaboration between photography and scienc

The Role of Excessive Social Media Usage in Autobiographical Memory

The present study investigated the relationship between excessive social media usage in everyday life and autobiographical memory recollection.

Stellar kinematics in surveys and simulations

Vi studerar stjärnors rörelser i Vintergatan med N-body simuleringar och stora astrometriska dataset från ESAs rymdteleskop Gaia. Vi identifierar två kinematiska populationer för vita dvärgar i Solens kvarter. Vi undersöker även ansamlade halon och avslöjar två nya hastighetsstrukturer. Slutligen, våra simuleringar visar att radiell migrering som en funktion av vertical action beror på diskmassa.We study stellar motions in the Milky Way with N-body simulations and large astrometric samples from ESA's Gaia mission. We identify two kinematic populations for white dwarfs in the Solar neighbourhood. We also investigate the accreted halo and reveal two new structures. Finally, our simulations show that radial migration as a function of vertical action depends on disc mass.

Sustainability science has recently seen a growth of literature focused on individuals’ “inner dimensions” as a vehicle for transformative social change, an approach argued to be too individualistic. This thesis fits between both excessively structural and individualistic models of social transformation by framing inner dimensions into a theory of social change through collective action. Christian
