  2. 6. Parasite on Crayfish : Characterisation of Their Pathogenesis, Host Interactions and Diversity

    Author : Eakaphun Bangyeekhun; Anders Tunlid; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Zoophysiology; Crayfish; Parasite; Oomycete; Prophenoloxidase; Peroxinectin; Aphanomyces astaci; Psorospermium haecheli; White spot syndrome virus; Zoofysiologi; Animal physiology; Zoofysiologi; biologisk beroendeforskning; Biological Research on Drug Dependence;

    Abstract : The crayfish plague refractory crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus, which can harbour the fungal parasite within melanotic sheath, are found to constitutively express the gene encoding for prophenoloxidase (proPO) after mimicking parasite attack. In contrast, the susceptible crayfish, Astacus astacus, responds to the parasite by increased levels of proPO transcript, particularly in the semigranular haemocytes. READ MORE

  4. 7. Participatory forest management for sustainable livelihoods in the Bale Mountains, Southern Ethiopia

    Author : Yemiru Tesfaye; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Preventing environmental degradation and alleviating poverty are the twin challenges of sustainable development. Participatory forest management (PFM) takes the challenge of preventing the degradation of forest resources while sustaining forest-based benefits to people's livelihoods. READ MORE

  5. 8. Lattice Boltzmann simulations of tracer diffusion in microswimmer suspensions

    Author : Henrik Nordanger; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lattice Boltzmann; microswimmers; active matter; enhanced diffusion;

    Abstract : Suspensions of microswimmers are a class of systems inherently out of equilibrium, due to the mechanical work continuously performed by a large number of active agents. Biological examples are plentiful, as many aquatic microorganisms have the ability to propel themselves. READ MORE

  6. 9. Catching the Bus in Old Age - Methodological Aspects of Accessibility Assessments in Public Transport

    Author : Gunilla Carlsson; Hållbar vardag och hälsa i ett livsperspektiv; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; revalidation; rehabilitation; kinesitherapy; cluster analysis; activity; functional limitation; crticial incident; Enabler; environment; elderly; focus group; model; occupational therapy; participant observation; planning; performance; travel; Physical medicine; Road transport technology; Vägtransportteknik;

    Abstract : Engagement in daily activities is central for people’s health and well-being. Today, our activity arenas mostly cover great geographical areas, and to reach different activities we must travel. However, people with functional limitations are sometimes restricted in their travelling. READ MORE

  7. 10. Electrification of the basic materials industry – Implications for the electricity system

    Author : Alla Toktarova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; renewables; electrification; storage; industry; hydrogen; flexibility; circular economy; electricity systems modeling;

    Abstract : The European energy-intensive basic materials industry must achieve deep reductions in CO2 emissions to meet the targets set out in the Paris Agreement. The rapid decline in the cost of renewable electricity makes expanded electrification an attractive option for eliminating the dependence of the industry on fossil fuels. READ MORE
