  1. 1. Examining Inequalities in Cycling Motility : A Pathway Towards Cycling Justice

    Författare :Zahra Hamidi; Christina Lindkvist; Karin Brundell-Freij; Vincent Kaufmann; Malmö universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Realizing the environmental and social benefits of cycling requires effective policies that deliver increased and inclusive cycling. This thesis aims to contribute to the development of such policies by providing insights into what could make cycling achievable for more diverse social groups through engaging with theoretical perspectives from transport geography, the mobilities paradigm and social justice.

  3. 2. Neighborhood Design and Travel : a Study of Residential Quality, Child Leisure Activity and Trips to School

    Författare :Pia Westford; Dick Urban Vestbro; Anders Hagson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :urban design; neighborhood; car use; child leisure activity; school trips; lifestyle; perceived environment;

    Sammanfattning : Sustainable urban mobility calls for well-informed design of neighborhoods. Although many studies have been conducted in the field, there is little evidence about the relationships between design elements, urban quality and behavior. Little is also known about residents’ valuation of design and urban quality in this context. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Urban Mobility Transitions : Governing through Experimentationin Bristol and New York City

    Författare :Emilia Smeds; Jenny McArthur; Helena Titheridge; Tim Schwanen; Yvonne Rydin; University College London Engineering and Public Policy Technology Department of Science; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; transport; transitions; urban governance; experimentation; mobility;

    Sammanfattning : Transitions away from car-dominance is one of the key debates in urban research, policy and practice today. Car-free public space, cycling and convenient public transport services are widely seen as desirable, yet the reconfiguration of our streets and transport networks has been incremental. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Candida albicans adaption to host microenvironments drives immune evasion

    Författare :José Pedro Lopes; Constantin F. Urban; Alistair Brown; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fungi; candida albicans; neutrophils; mast cells; immune evasion; mycoses; infectious diseases; immunologi; Immunology; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Immunosuppressed patients are frequently afflicted with severe mycoses caused by opportunistic fungal pathogens. Besides being a commensal colonizing predominantly skin and mucosal surfaces, Candida albicans is the most common human fungal pathogen. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modulation of neutrophil extracellular trap formation in health and disease

    Författare :Ava Hosseinzadeh; Constantin F. Urban; Carol Munro; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophils; Candida albicans; Adenosine; Tempol; Nicotine; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : The critical prompt innate immune response is highly built upon the influx of neutrophils from the blood stream to the site of infection. In the battlefield, neutrophils sense pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) through their pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) to launch a number of responses with the goal to defeat the invading pathogen.
