1. Heat exposure and health outcomes in Costa Rican sugarcane harvesters
University dissertation from Umeå : Umeå universitetAbstract : Background The remarkably efficient mechanisms of the human body to maintain its core temperature of 37°C can be inadequate when harsh climatic conditions and excessive muscle movement lead to heat stress, dehydration and potential heat illness, ranging from minor symptoms such as fatigue to a potentially fatal heat stroke. Agricultural workers in the tropics are at high risk, which is expected to increase with climate change. READ MORE

3. Coping with Stress Regulation of the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle in response to environmental cues
University dissertation from Stockholm : Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute, Stockholm UniversityAbstract : All organisms have to respond to environmental changes to maintain cellular and genome integrity. In particular, unicellular organisms like bacteria must be able to analyze their surroundings and rapidly adjust their growth mode and cell cycle program in response to environmental changes, such as changes in nutrient availability, temperature, osmolarity, or pH.
