  1. 1. Spinoza on Ethical Cultivation : An Analysis of Vulnerability, Empowerment, and Early Modern Cultura Animi

    Author : Kasper Kristensen; Sharon Rider; Pauliina Remes; Justin Steinberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Benedict Spinoza; early modern philosophy; ethics; philosophical method; knowledge; cultura animi; spiritual exercises; virtue ethics; value theory; emotions; affects; moral motivation; Philosophy; with specialization in history of philosophy; Filosofi med filosofihistorisk inriktning;

    Abstract : This dissertation concerns Benedict Spinoza’s (1632–1677) account of ethical life, emphasising the role of techniques and exercises for achieving greater power to control one’s thoughts, emotions, and actions. The study aims to show that Spinoza offers a much more coherent and ambitious ethical theory than what is commonly acknowledged, involving both theoretical and practical considerations. READ MORE

  2. 2. Zygomycetes and cellulose residuals : hydrolysis, cultivation and applications

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; zygomycetes; fungi; lignocelluloses; ethanol; fish feed; animal feed; dimorphism; airlift; pretreatment; Biotechnology; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : Zygomycetes is a class of fungi living worldwide as saprobes, as part of mycorrhizae, and as parasites. Humans have used some zygomycetes for centuries in the production of traditional foods, e.g. Indonesian tempe. READ MORE

  3. 3. Year-round production of forest seedlings under LED lamps : Biological and energetic implications of indoor cultivation

    Author : Marco Hernandez Velasco; Uwe Zimmermann; Anders Mattsson; Frank Fiedler; Johanna Riikonen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Picea abies; Pinus sylvestris; year-round cultivation; forest seedlings; LED lamps; light quality; light quantity; daily light integral; adaptive lighting control; greenhouse integrated photovoltaics; agrivoltaics; seedling growth performance; short-day treatments; cold hardiness; light shock stress; Engineering Science; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : Year-round cultivation of forest seedlings under light emitting diodes (LED) is a technology receiving increased attention from nurseries in the boreal forest regions. In these areas, the climate is characterized by strong seasonal fluctuations, resulting in short vegetation periods with narrow time windows for seedling transplanting and outdoor growth. READ MORE
