  1. 1. Causes and consequences of life-history variation : The effects of parasites, glucocorticoids, and environmental conditions in the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)

    Författare :Kevin Fletcher; Lars Gustafsson; Anders Pape Moller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Collard flycatcher; Haemosporidian blood parasite; glucocorticoid; life history;

    Sammanfattning : Life-history is the study of all the different stages of life that affect reproductive success and survival between the birth and death of an organism. The reproductive output of an organism is constrained by many things including time, resource, disease agents and environmental conditions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) disrupts vitamin A homeostasis in rodents : quantitative and mechanistic studies to support risk assessment

    Författare :Nick Fletcher; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) exposure is well-known to disrupt Vitamin A (retinoid) homeostasis in rats, resulting in decreased hepatic storage, as well as increased metabolism and excretion of retinoids. The aims of this thesis were (1) to clarify the species and strain sensitivity of TCDDinduced retinoid disruption and (2) to identify cellular targets of TCDD-induced retinoid disruption. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Antibody- and Peptide-based Immunotherapies : Proof-of-concept and safety considerations

    Författare :Erika Fletcher; Sara Mangsbo; Vivianne Malmström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immune complex; conjugat; vaccine; CD40; whole blood; cytokine release syndrome; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of cancer immunotherapy is to eradicate tumours by inducing a tumour-specific immune response. This thesis focuses on how antibodies and peptides can improve antigen presentation and the subsequent tumour-specific T cell response. Tumour recognition by the immune system can be promoted through delivery of antigen in the form of a vaccine. LÄS MER

  5. 4. High Arctic submarine glaciogenic landscapes : their formation and significance

    Författare :Francis Fletcher Freire; Richard Gyllencreutz; Martin Jakobsson; Haflidi Haflidason; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; High Arctic; GrIS; marine geophysics; glaciogenic landscapes; ice streams; submarine slides; Marine Geology; maringeologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on studies of glacial and slope morphology in the high Arctic of western Greenland shelf and the Molloy Hole seafloor spreading area, based on high-resolution acoustic methods and other geophysical data. The main purpose is to improve our understanding of glacial dynamics and associated processes in the marginal region of a large marine-terminating ice sheet. LÄS MER

  7. 5. WomenWeave Daily : "Artisan Fashion" as "Slow and Sustainable Fashion"

    Författare :David Goldsmith; Kate Fletcher; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Artisan Fashion; Artisan Textiles; Slow Fashion; Handloom; Heritage Craft; Artisan Economy; Social Enterprise; Khadi; Design Management; Fashion Management; Textile Management; Activity Theory; Business Model Canvas.; Handgjort mode; hantverkstillverkade textilier; långsamt mode; handvävning; kulturellt hantverk; hantverksekonomi; socialt företagande; khadi; Design Management; management inom modesektorn; management inom textiltillverkning; Aktivitetsteori; Business Model Canvas.; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

    Sammanfattning : As awareness has grown of the detrimental, often lethal, aspects of fashion production and use, so too has a global movement to diminish its environmental harms and mediate its social exploitation. In all types of commercial, academic, and popular discourse about fashion, words such as eco-friendly, green, ethical, fair, and slow -- the last being a catch-all term for all things “not fast fashion”-- are ubiquitous.
