1. The political economy of adaptation pathways to climate change : An historical institutional approach
Sammanfattning : While there is a growing recognition of the need for societies to adapt to climate change, adaptation governance often falls short and can even worsen existing vulnerabilities. This problem is exacerbated by the deep connection between climate change and economic system governance. LÄS MER
2. Signalling pathways controlling bacterial adaptation
Sammanfattning : The conversion of environmental signals into cellular responses is a critically important process that occurs in all organisms. The ability to process information depends, in general, on complex signal transduction and regulatory networks that control genes required to cope with certain environmental conditions. LÄS MER
3. Functional genomics of diapause in two temperate butterflies
Sammanfattning : Natural selection will act on a given phenotype to maximize fitness in a particular environment, even if this would result in reduced fitness in other environments. In insects some of the strongest selection pressures act on timing life cycles to seasonal variation in environmental conditions, in order to maximize growth, reproduction, and to anticipate the onset of winter.

4. People, Climate, and Inclusive Infrastructure : A thesis on design and planning in underserved neighbourhoods
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the processes of design and planning of infrastructure in rapidly urbanising cities that can lead to a more just and sustainable trajectory of urban development in the context of a changing climate. The thesis draws on case studies, panel surveys, interviews, and participant-observation of both top-down and bottom-up planning processes for infrastructure development and flood risk management in the context of urban informal areas, with a particular focus on the large informal neighbourhood of Kibera in central Nairobi, Kenya.

5. Training-induced increase in mitochondrial biogenesis
Sammanfattning : Endurance training leads to an improved ability of muscle to utilize oxygen. This is related to an increased density and function of mitochondria. LÄS MER
