  1. 11. Genmat i fokus : Analyser av fokusgruppssamtal om genförändrade livsmedel

    Författare :Victoria Wibeck; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; gene technology; genetically modified food; focus groups; dialogism; social representations; risk; trust; agency; genmodifierade livsmedel; risk; livsmedel; genteknik; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : This study focuses on social representations of genetically modified food (GMF). Drawing on data from eleven focus groups including lay people and decision-makers within the food industry, it aims to analyse how people talk about and try to comprehend and anchor the issue of GMF.

  3. 12. Managing Complex Environmental Risks for Sustainable Development

    Författare :Mikael Karlsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainable development; risk assessment; risk management; complexity; trust; scientific uncertainty; hazardous chemicals; genetically modified organisms; reflexive modernization; ecological modernization; environmental policy; polluter pays principle; pr; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis is concerned with the problematic question on how to manage complex environmental risks in a way that promotes sustainable development. While there are some positive signs on progressive and successful environmental policy, environmental change resulting from human activities still causes severe problems and risks worldwide. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Biopolitics and Reflexivity : A Study of GMO Policymaking in the European Union

    Författare :Anders Johansson; Thomas Achen; Sven Widmalm; Stellan Welin; Jacob Dahl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; GMO; genetically modified organism; precautionary principle; risk biopolitics; policy; European Union; EU; reflexivity; reflexive modernity; GMO; genetiskt modifierade organismer; försiktighetsprincipen; risk biopolitik; policy; Europeiska Unionen; EU; reflexivitet; reflexiv modernitet; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : The political discourse that has emerged as a consequence of establishing a European regulatory framework for GMOs has not been without problems. This dissertation addresses the political and regulatory challenges created by the development and use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the EU. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Effects of Environmental Factors on maternal Choice and Gene Dispersal in Plants

    Författare :Teklehaimanot Haileselassie; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; siring ability; Maternal effect; genetically modified crops; risk assessment; morphological markers; herbivory; Cucumis sativus; Växtekologi; pollen tube growth rate; Plant ecology; Nicotiana alata;

    Sammanfattning : Gene dispersal through pollen is affected by both abiotic and biotic environmental factors. In this study, I mainly investigated the effect of environmental factors: nutrient availability, simulated herbivory and floral morphology (flower colour), on the siring success of competing pollen donors and fitness of the resulting offspring.

  7. 15. Functions of Heparan Sulfate During Mouse Development : Studies of Mice with Genetically Altered Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis

    Författare :Maria Ringvall; Lena Kjellén; Erik Forsberg; Ulf Lindahl; Erika Gustafsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; embryonic development; gene targeting; lung development; ossification; heparan sulfate; heparin; N-deacetylase N-sulfaotransferase; NDST; proteoglycan; morphogen; biosynthesis; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Heparan sulfate (HS) is a ubiquitous polysaccharide on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. HS is an important actor in the regulation of cell signaling, especially in the developing embryo. LÄS MER
