2. 1. More than Meets the Eye : Transmedial entertainment as a site of pleasure, resistance and exploitation

   Author : Karin Fast; André Jansson; Michael Karlsson; Jonathan Gray; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Transmedial; entertainment; world; brand; media convergence; producer; consumer; fandom; power; Media and Communication Studies; Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap;

   Abstract : Today’s converging entertainment industry creates ‘transmedial’ brand worlds in which consumers are expected to become immersed. Integrated marketing campaigns connected to these worlds encourage various kinds of consumer productivity and invite consumers to partake in brand-building processes. READ MORE

4. 2. Mitochondrial Evolution : Turning Bugs into Features

   Author : Olof Karlberg; Siv Andersson; Michael Gray; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

   Abstract : The bacterial origin of mitochondria from an ancient endosymbiosis is now widely accepted and the mitochondrial ancestor is generally believed to belong to the bacterial subdivision α-proteobacteria. The high fraction of mitochondrial proteins encoded in the nucleus has commonly been explained with a massive transfer of genes from the genome of the ancestral mitochondrion. READ MORE

5. 3. Sensory qualities and culinary utility of produce : a path towards sustainable gastronomy

   Author : Magnus Westling; Åsa Öström; Stefan Wennström; Michael Bom Frøst; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Culinary action; culinary arts; cultivated diversity; food design; food science; gastronomic potential; gastronomy; gray peas; meal science; sensory science;

   Abstract : The underlying assumption throughout this thesis is that the continuity of a cultivated diversity can be strengthened by investigating its sensory qualities and specifying particular culinary utilities of landraces and cultivars. How can a foodstuff’s sensory qualities and culinary utility be explored, tested, and refined together with the food industry and the public meal? This thesis aims to create a path toward sustainable gastronomy with greater sensory variation that originate from a cultivated diversity. READ MORE

6. 4. Comparative analysis of the thermogenic protein UCP1 across the mammalian phylogeny

   Author : Michael James Gaudry; Martin Jastroch; Tobias Wang; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Uncoupling protein 1; Evolution; Non-shivering thermogenesis; Brown adipose tissue; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) drives mitochondrial inefficiency to produce heat in mammalian brown adipose tissue (BAT). Many mammalian species rely on this form of adaptive non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) to defend high body temperatures in the cold. READ MORE

7. 5. Disordered Icosahedral Boron-Rich Solids : A Theoretical Study of Thermodynamic Stability and Properties

   Author : Annop Ektarawong; Björn Alling; Michael Widom; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Icosahedral boron-rich solids; Boron carbide; Configurational disorder; First-principles calculations; Thermodynamic stability; Superatom-special quasirandom structure;

   Abstract : This thesis is a theoretical study of configurational disorder in icosahedral boron-rich solids, in particular boron carbide, including also the development of a methodological framework for treating configurational disorder in such materials, namely superatom-special quasirandom structure (SA-SQS). In terms of its practical implementations, the SA-SQS method is demonstrated to be capable of efficiently modeling configurational disorder in icosahedral boron-rich solids, whiles the thermodynamic stability as well as the properties of the configurationally disordered icosahedral boron-rich solids, modeled from the SA-SQS method, can be directly investigated, using the density functional theory (DFT).
