1. Ecologies of Practices and Thinking
Sammanfattning : How does a new materialist film practice look? To approach this question the practice-led material driven research explores dynamic ecological relations and processes of thinking and practicing. It employs an animist methodology which allows it to relate to the nonhuman as an active participant, rather than a passive object of inquiry. LÄS MER
2. Wastelands of difference? Urban nature and more-than-human difference in Berlin and Gothenburg
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores more-than-human entanglements of contemporary urban environments in order to develop a rearticulation of urban landscapes as spaces decidedly beyond the exclusively human. Taking its cue from the question “How do we live with urban difference today?,” such spaces, the thesis argues, emerge through, as well as change with, a variety of socio-ecological entwinements.

3. Mellan människa och häst : Djur-blivande i den pedagogiska relationens mellanrum
Sammanfattning : Pedagogy has been theorised as a process of becoming, throughout history, as well as in contemporary research.

4. Computational analyses of biological sequences -applications to antibody-based proteomics and gene family characterization
Sammanfattning : Following the completion of the human genome sequence, post-genomic efforts have shifted the focus towards the analysis of the encoded proteome. Several different systematic proteomics approaches have emerged, for instance, antibody-based proteomics initiatives, where antibodies are used to functionally explore the human proteome. LÄS MER
5. CELL REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR PARKINSON’S DISEASE: The importance of neuronal subtype, cell source and connectivity for functional recovery
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor deficits such as slowness in movement, difficulty in initiating movement and tremor at rest. The cause of these motor symptoms is the selective loss of mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons, located in the substantia nigra (SN). LÄS MER
