1. 11. Chromosome-specific adaptations of RNA stability and the roles of the roX RNAs in dosage compensation

   Författare :Marie-Line Faucillion; Jan Larsson; Jean-Yves Roignant; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila melanogaster; dosage compensation; buffering; RNA stability; RNA decay; RNA half-life; RNA-seq; genome-wide; sex chromosomes; evolution; roX1; roX2; POF; MSL; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

   Sammanfattning : Sex chromosomes evolved from an ancient pair of autosomes and the Y chromosome lost most of its genetic information in the process. This created two kinds of genomic imbalances: the first one between males (XY) and females (XX) and the second one between the sex chromosomes and the autosomes (X:AA). LÄS MER

3. 12. A pathway for pleasant touch: linking peripheral receptors to central processing and hedonic experience

   Författare :Line Sofie Löken; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :pleasant; touch; microneurography; human; CT afferent; unmyelinated;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the mechanisms underpinning pleasant touch, describes a pathway from peripheral nerve endings in the skin to the insular cortex, and relates these findings to the subjective hedonic experience of touch. In Paper I, the relationship between primary afferent encoding and perception of pleasantness was investigated by combining microneurography recordings from human mechanoreceptors with psychophysical measurements during soft brush stroking at 6 different velocities between 0.

4. 13. Otherness and disease in Reunion : The politicisation of the 2005 to 2007 chikungunya epidemic

   Författare :Karine Aasgaard Jansen; Tove Ingebjørg Fjell; Astrid Blystad; Line Alice Ytrehus; Pamila Gupta; University of Bergen; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES;

   Sammanfattning : In this dissertation I investigate how decolonisation through inclusion instead of independence has affected processes of othering, and reactions to being othered. By othering I mean discursive colonial practices described by post-colonial theories, in which racial and cultural difference is produced as inferior vis-à-vis the “superior” West. LÄS MER

5. 14. Traps and transformations : Exploring the potential of water system innovations in dryland sub-Saharan Africa

   Författare :Elin Enfors; Line Gordon; Christian Valentin; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :smallholder farming; water system innovations; agricultural droughts; multi-functional landscapes; development trajectories; uncertainty; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Sammanfattning : In semi-arid and dry sub-humid sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), high poverty levels and a heavy reliance on small-scale rainfed agriculture make rural livelihoods difficult. Upgrading current farming systems, in a way that safeguards productivity beyond field-scale, is urgent. LÄS MER

7. 15. Shaping sustainable food systems : Local participation in addressing global challenges

   Författare :Aniek Hebinck; Line Gordon; Joost M. Vervoort; Stephan Barthel; Moya Kneafsey; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; food systems; sustainability; food governance; transformative change; participatory processes; participation; civil society; niche level; food policy; urban food; urban agriculture; food poverty; imagined futures; foresight; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : The current unsustainable trajectory of food systems puts the social and ecological processes and functions on which human flourishing depends at risk. This last decade has seen, on one hand, continued insistence on transformative action and on the other, uncertainty and instability with respect to traditional, established institutions, such as the state.
