1. 21. Design, processing and properties of lightweight foams from cellulose nanofibers

   Författare :Korneliya Gordeyeva; Lennart Bergström; Nathalie Lavoine; Monica Österberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cellulose nanofibers; lightweight foams; hybrid; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

   Sammanfattning : Foams are applied in many areas including thermal insulation of buildings, flotation devices, packaging, filters for water purification, CO2 sorbents and for biomedical devices. Today, the market is dominated by foams produced from synthetic, non-renewable polymers, which raises serious concerns for the sustainable and ecological development of our society. LÄS MER

3. 22. Abiotic stress and plant-microbe interactions in Norway spruce

   Författare :Julia Christa Haas; Vaughan Hurry; Nathaniel Street; Torgny Näsholm; Jennifer Baltzer; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Norway spruce; boreal forest; cold; drought; bacteria; fungi; plant-microbe interactions; climate change;

   Sammanfattning : Norway spruce (Picea abies) is a dominant tree species in boreal forests with extensive ecological and economic value. Climate change is threatening these ecosystems, with rising temperatures impacting cold hardening and increasing drought stress in regions experiencing lower precipitation. LÄS MER

4. 23. Safeguarding nature and people : Integrating economics, politics, and human rights to transform biodiversity policies and governance

   Författare :Niak Sian Koh; Thomas Hahn; Claudia Ituarte-Lima; Wiebren J. Boonstra; Grace Wong; Esther Turnhout; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global environmental governance; human rights review mechanisms; biodiversity offsets; commensurability; commodification; economic instruments; transformations; Convention on Biological Diversity; compliance; safeguards; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : None of the world’s biodiversity goals from the last decade were fully met, as biodiversity losses are occurring at an unprecedented rate. Policies are not always effective; their use may have adverse effects on people and nature. LÄS MER

5. 24. Microbial Biofilms in the Bioinformatics Era

   Författare :Kemal Sanli; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metagenomics; bioinformatics software; microbial biofilms; Next Generation Sequencing; pathway analysis; periphyton; marine biofilms; FANTOM; PACFM; PACFM;

   Sammanfattning : Adverse effects of anthropogenic impact on the environment have become conspicuous in the past century and among others include the gradual increase in the global CO2 levels, the contamination of air, soil and water by toxic chemicals, and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic microbial species. Microorganisms partake in an extreme diversity of activities in the environment, and hence, constitute the prime candidates to be investigated in understanding of the progression and effects of the aforementioned environmental hazard scenarios.

7. 25. Navigating towards the Safe Operating Space: Systems thinking and the SDGs

   Författare :David Collste; Sarah E Cornell; Birgit Kopainsky; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; 2030 Agenda; visioning; scenarios; Sustainable Development Goals; SDGs; Three horizons; transformation; The World In 2050; Planetary Boundaries; Safe Operating Space; Plural economics; Doughnut Economics; Human Needs; Capability approach; Easterlin paradox; Sustainability; System Dynamics; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Can the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals be reached within the Planetary Boundaries? This licentiate thesis aims to explore this question by navigating towards the safe operating space, as defined by the planetary boundaries, through integrating issues, disciplines, scales, models and stakeholders. The thesis is a milestone within the European Union financed project “Adaptation to a New Economic Reality (AdaptEconII)”. LÄS MER
