2. 1. Transcalar Design : biological principles in architecture through computational design and additive fabrication

   Author : Ana Goidea; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; architecture; additive manufacturing 3D printing ; additive manufacturing; biotechnology; Biofabrication; biodesign; generative design;

   Abstract : Architecture is currently facing a period of transformational change which is driven by an increasing awareness of sustainability imperatives combined with technological advancements in the form of digitalisation of design and fabrication processes. These issues both introduce new layers of complexity and necessitate strategies to navigate them. READ MORE

4. 2. Urbanization as Socionatures' Reproduction: from Territories of Extraction

   Author : Berta Flaquer; Kristina L. Nilsson; Jennie Sjöholm; Andrea Luciani; Peter Sköld; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Arkitektur; Architecture;

   Abstract : Through an engagement with the strand of critical urban theory, this dissertation brings the reworkings of Henri Lefebvre’s notion of ‘planetary urbanisation’ into a new synthesis with further inputs from urban political ecology and feminism—towards developing an ecofeminist lens to urbanization. Guided by the hypothesis “urbanization has been historically sustained through the patriarchal domination of women and nature’s reproduction,” the thesis seeks to critically explore how urbanization processes have historically and multiscalarly recurrently transformed the spatial configurations of reproduction from territories of extraction.

5. 3. BEN-solo proteins in genome architecture and function

   Author : Malin Ueberschär; Qi Dai; Mattias Mannervik; Nicola Iovino; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gene regulation; transcription; insulators; genome architecture; Polymerase II pausing; chromatin; Drosophila development; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : Eukaryotic genomes are organized in a complex manner inside the nucleus of each cell. Chromatin insulators are DNA elements that help to fold the linear DNA fiber in three-dimensional space and partition regulatory gene units. READ MORE

6. 4. Evolution of cellular complexity and other remarkable features in Gemmataceae : Complex bacterial lineages defy prokaryotic trends

   Author : Mayank Mahajan; Siv G. E. Andersson; James O. McInerney; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular evolution; Planctomycetes; Gemmataceae; functional organization; signalling; protein interaction; peptidoglycan; membranes; cell division; radiation tolerance; Pfam; SCOP; comparative genomics; protein architecture; domain shuffling and orthologous clustering; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Bacteria of the family Gemmataceae belong the phylum Planctomycetes and are remarkable because of their complex cellular architectures, previously considered to be traits exclusive to eukaryotes. This thesis provides clues to the atypical cell envelope, the enhanced radiotolerance and the amazing cellular complexity of these bacteria. READ MORE

7. 5. Revealing the architecture and composition of the sperm flagellum tip

   Author : Davide Zabeo; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell biology; Structural biology; Microtubules; Electron microscopy; Cryo-electron microscopy; Cryo-electron tomography;

   Abstract : The eukaryotic flagellum is a membrane-bound protruding organelle with a cytoskeleton of microtubules. Flagella are found in unicellular as well as multicellular organisms, performing a variety of functions. READ MORE
