This article investigates the relevant hands-on challenges creating a supportive learning environment when projects in the area of sustainable urban renewal are used for educational activities. The focus of this article is the Malmö Innovation Platform, which brings together municipal, business, academic and community actors to build a joint innovation capacity in the renovation of existing apartm
Visual abilities of the honey bee have been studied for more than 100 years, recently revealing unexpectedly sophisticated cognitive skills rivalling those of vertebrates. However, the physiological limits of the honey bee eye have been largely unaddressed and only studied in an unnatural, dark state. Using a bright display and intracellular recordings, we here systematically investigated the angu
Cross-sectional studies of growth in post-colonial Africa have overwhelmingly focussed on explaining the failure of growth in Africa. This prompting stylised fact has its qualifications and when these are taken into consideration the explanations of African economic growth appear incoherent. The notion of a chronic African growth failure has diverted attention from the process of economic growth a
Secondary metabolites from fungi have become a major source of chemical innovation in programs searching for lead molecules with bioactivities, especially over the last 50 years. In this review, we discuss the fundamental considerations in the discovery of molecules for agricultural and medicinal uses. This group of organisms possesses a strong potential for scientific and industrial communities.
This thesis is a study of social life, addressing issues concerning how and by what means people meet in urban public space. The main aim of this thesis is to is to investigate how certain artefacts and architectural features support the formation and temporal stabilisation of heterogeneous clusters and collectives, and thus, in order to the development of conceptual tools that can contribute to a
Pulmonary diseases are known to be largely inhomogeneous. To evaluate such inhomogeneities, we are testing an image-based method to measure gas flow in the lung regionally. Dynamic, spin-density-weighted hyperpolarized (3)He MR images performed during slow inhalation of this gas were analyzed to quantify regional inflation rate. This parameter was measured in regions of interest (ROIs) that were d
p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs) respond to various mitogen stimuli and comprise two distinct protein kinase domains. The C-terminal kinase domain (CTKD) receives signal from ERK1/2 and adopts an autoinhibitory mechanism. Here, the crystal structure of human RSK1 CTKD is reported at 2.7 Å resolution. The structure shows a standard kinase fold, with the catalytic residues in the ATP-binding cleft or
We can trace the beginnings of our knowledge of early Upper Paleolithic (Aurignacian) use of fire to the pioneering 1910–1911 excavations at Abri Blanchard undertaken by Louis Didon and Marcel Castanet. At Blanchard, the excavators recognized and described fire structures that correspond in many ways to features excavated more recently in Western and Central Europe. Here, we address the issue of h
The Just-in-Time production system, or lean production system, tries to achieve a continuous flow of production, thereby reducing the inventories of materials, works-in- process and finished products. As a result only minimum levels of inventories exist in the various layers of the supply chain. Under this situation, the major earthquake followed by the tsunami on March 11, 2011 in Eastern Japan,

This thesis focuses on how online activists react to online censorship imposed onto them by social media platforms and how the reactions shape the activists’ responses to the censorship. It does so by deploying a qualitative interview study design onto how Swedish individuals who advocate for Palestine online experience and respond to digital censorship on Meta’s social media platforms. In the st
The search for greener ways of producing plastic has been a very popular field for the last few years. One avenue of research focuses on separating plastic production from the fossil fuel industry by finding bio-based alternatives. This is the case of the research conducted by our collaborators at Biotechnology who are trying to use Escherichia coli to produce 1,4-butanediol, a precursor to many p
I takt med digitaliseringens frammarsch har allt fler delar av våra liv integrerats med digitala plattformar av diverse slag, genom vår användning av sociala medier, sökmotorer, prisjämförelseverktyg m.fl. Att detta påverkar vår vardag kan knappast låta häpnadsväckande – så pass vardagliga är dessa plattformar att vi kanske inte tänker något särskilt på vilka appar som är förinstallerade på våra tAs digitization advances, more and more parts of our lives have been integrated with digital platforms of various kinds, through our use of social media, search engines, price comparison tools, and various other services. That this affects our everyday life can hardly sound surprising – these platforms are so commonplace that we may not give much thought to which apps are pre-installed on our phon
The reassignment method is a technique for improving the concentration of signals in spectrograms and other time-frequency representations (TFR). It achieves this by displacing the points in a TFR according to the reassignment vector for every point. By doing so, the reassignment method gives perfect concentration of infinite constant frequency sinusoids, impulses and linear chirps. A downside to
There has been little empirical study of the relationship between remittance inflows and economic growth, especially with a focus in Asia and the Pacific (APAC) region. In this paper, this relationship for 23 APAC economies is examined. A panel data set of remittances and financial development indices for the period 1990 – 2017 is set up to explore the impact of financial development on remittance
