One of the characteristic features of Indian society is its complex caste system which ranks people into hereditary groups. Most importantly, the foundation of caste association was based on the occupation of each group. And the lowest group within this system have historically been excluded and exploited due to their assigned caste-based occupations. Despite implementing affirmative action polici
Gut microbiota play a central role in metabolism for example in blood glucose homeostasis and appetite regulation. This thesis provides a prospect of using the bacterium Prevotella copri as a probiotic to help maintain a healthy gut microbiota as many evidences points towards probiotics to have a great potential as preventative agents or therapeutics for type 2 diabetes. In the first part of the tAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly 8.5% of the global population is affected by metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity which are one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. This causes a huge financial burden on the healthcare system globally. Therefore, there is an urgent need to prevent, delay and treat these diseases and their debilitating com
This report aims at finding methods for reducing the errors in district heating load forecasts by suggesting a method for online correction of the base forecast. Online correction is generally carried out by utilizing patterns in the historic prediction errors. Traditionally the correction has been made using a correction method detailed by a few governing parameters. Values for these parameters a
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves. TheMangrove ecosystems have the potential to provide a host of ecosystem services to the communities surrounding them. Dense, healthy, networks of mangroves are able to provide a buffer to coastlines against the increasingly frequent and intense storms, expected under the influence of climate change. Additionally, healthy, mangrove ecosystem provide coastal communities with other benefits such as mor
Ashbya gossypii is a homothallic, flavinogenic, filamentous ascomycete that starts overproduction of riboflavin and fragments its mycelium quantitatively into spore producing sporangia at the end of a growth phase. Mating is not required for sporulation and the standard homothallic laboratory strain is a MATa strain. Here we show that ectopic expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MATα2 in A. gossAshbya gossypii is a homothallic, flavinogenic, filamentous ascomycete that starts overproduction of riboflavin and fragments its mycelium quantitatively into spore producing sporangia at the end of a growth phase.

Ornamental horticultural plants in domestic gardens can constitute a substantial dispersal pool of potentially invasive species. Understanding garden owners' preferences when selecting plants, their awareness of dispersal pathways and how they manage their gardens is critical for effective invasive species control.

The capacity to get rid of excess heat produced during hard work is a possible constraint on parental effort during reproduction [heat dissipation limit (HDL) theory].
