  1. 11. Becoming Biofuels. The messy assembling of resources, sustainability, poverty, land use, and nation-states

    Författare :Marie Widengård; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; biofuels; jatropha; assemblages; governmentality; political ecology; political economy; ethnography; governance; materiality; authority; territory; sovereignty; resources; poverty; sustainability; land use change; states; standards; certification; Africa; Zambia; Mozambique; Tanzania; Kenya; Brazil; EU;

    Sammanfattning : Biofuels have come to represent the will to mitigate climate change by replacing fossil fuels with so-called climate-friendly and renewable plant sources, and to improve rural and poor conditions in the South through biofuel crop production, farm job creation, and smallholder cash cropping. The expansion of biofuels in countries in the South largely pivoted upon ‘the will to develop’, specifically through the oil shrub Jatropha curcas L. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Tracking single molecules in uncharted territory : A single-molecule method to study kinetics in live bacteria

    Författare :Javier Aguirre Rivera; Magnus Johansson; Dmitri N. Ermolenko; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; single-molecule; protein synthesis; fluorescence microscopy; antibiotics; aminoglycosides; macrolides; apramycin; gentamicin; paromomycin; S13; translation; bacteria; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The synthesis of proteins, also known as translation, is a fundamental process in every living organism. The steps in the translation of genetic information to functional proteins have been meticulously studied, mostly using in vitro techniques, yielding a detailed model of their mechanisms. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Through the eyes of a woodpecker: Understanding habitat selection, territory quality and reproductive decisions from individual behaviour

    Författare :Ola Olsson; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; reproductive success; territory quality; habitat selection; giving-up density; Bayesian processes; foraging; Picidae; lesser spotted woodpecker; Dendrocopos minor; conservation; Animal ecology; Djurekologi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I present some connections between foraging behaviour and reproductive success, time budget, tree species use, and habitat selection. The thesis is based upon both theoretical and empirical work. All empirical studies concern a south Swedish population of lesser spotted woodpeckers Dendrocopos minor, studied between 1990 and 1996.

  5. 14. Making motherhood safe in the West Bank, occupied Palestinian territory

    Författare :Nadim Al-Adili; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :West Bank; reproductive deaths; maternal mortality; avoidability; verbal autopsy; quality of care; women s status; violence against women; Orphans survival; gender; death notification and registration; Occupied Palestinian Territory.;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: To determine causes of death among women of reproductive age; to determine MMR; to review death notification and registration procedures, and to examine the fate and status of under-5 motherless orphans in the West Bank. Methods: All reported deaths (n= 431) of women 15-49 years old during 2000-2001 in the West Bank area of OPT were investigated. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Statistical methods for early discovery of diabetic neuropathy using epidermal nerve fiber data

    Författare :Claes Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Diabetic neuropathy; Epidermal nerve fibers; Hierarchical models; Point processes; Reactive territory; Diabetic neuropathy;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim with the work in this thesis is to increase the understanding of the effects diabetic neuropathy has on the epidermal nerve fibers and thereby find methods to detect the disorder at an earlier stage. Epidermal nerve fibers (ENFs) are small sensory nerve fibers in the skin, sensing heat and pain. LÄS MER
