The concept of prefiguration is drawing increasing interest as a lens to study the collective dynamic and transformative potential of alternative organizing. We introduce an analytical distinction between two modes of prefiguration. Situated prefiguration emphasizes affective bonds and direct struggle taking place in bounded organizational spaces, while distributed prefiguration manifests in wider
The ratio of leaf carotenoid to chlorophyll (Car/Chl) is an indicator of vegetation photosynthesis, development and responses to stress. However, the correlation between Car and Chl, and their overlapping absorption in the visible spectral domain pose a challenge for optical remote sensing of their ratio. This study aims to investigate combinations of vegetation indices (VIs) to minimize the influ
Comprehensive but interpretable assessment of the environmental performance of diets involves choosing a set of appropriate indicators. Current knowledge and data gaps on the origin of dietary foodstuffs restrict use of indicators relying on site-specific information. This Personal View summarises commonly used indicators for assessing the environmental performance of diets, briefly outlines their
Popular science summary: How do bacteria divide? Cell division is an absolute requirement for proliferation of all bacteria and results in the bacterium being split into two by a septum. FtsZ is a protein that plays a key role in bacterial cell division. In this project, one part of the FtsZ protein was investigated with genetic methods to understand how it affects the division process. Previou
The dirt underneath your shoes might save your life In the soil the bacterium Streptomyces venezuelae can be found. It scavenges for nutrients just like filamentous fungi do, by building a large network of hyphae also known as mycelium. At the tips of the hyphae, S.venezuelae grow their cell wall in a polarized fashion. They grow their wall by using a protein complex called the polarisome, almos
This Master's thesis in Sustainable Urban Design investigates the critical transformation of urban peripheral areas. Framed by the concept of "Alchemy of the Edge," it focuses on Westraven, Utrecht—a historically industrial and fragmented site. The project explores how design can facilitate Westraven's "Genesis as a Vibrant Decentralized Node," contributing to a more re
This study critically examines how nature is mobilized in the urban planning discourse of Västra Hamnen, Malmö, and explores the implications for justice and the distribution of green infrastructure. Combining Urban Political Ecology (UPE) with Nesbitt et al.’s (2018) framework on Urban Green Equity, the analysis integrates thematic readings of planning documents, site observations, and an informa
This thesis was developed in partnership with SCM Group, a leading Italian manufacturer of material-cutting machinery operating an extensive international network of production sites and clients. Because of the magnitude of its operations, SCM’s technical support teams manage a large volume of support tickets-records submitted by clients on a daily bases: structured reports documenting machine fai
In this bachelor's thesis, we examine how consumers use masstige brands in their identity construction. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how consumers interact with masstige brands and how these interactions are used to express an identity associated with luxury. Through a qualitative approach, we conducted semi-structured interviews as well as go-along observations to gain insight
Do sick birds migrate at different times than healthy ones? The word migration comes from the Latin migratus that means “to change”, referring to how birds change their geographic locations seasonally. Birds migrate to escape from decreased food availability or harsh weather on their breeding grounds. They migrate to areas of high or increasing resources where they stay during the winter period b
Popular science summary The classification of the European Crow Species status is a highly discussed topic as species classification can be challenging. Several species concepts have been formulated to standardize classifications. These species concept help with taxonomy, however many species remain problematic to classify, especially if interbreeding occurs. The hooded crow (Corvus corone cor
Lagstiftarens försök till att manövrera ny teknik är en gammal företeelse. Den digitala utvecklingen resulterar i ständigt nya krav på lagstiftningen och rättstillämpningen och det måste ske en anpassning inom området hela tiden efter dagens teknik. På pappret så har Sverige aldrig haft en starkare upphovsrätt än den som finns i dagsläget. Upphovsrättslagstiftningen har anpassats till den digitalaThe legislator's attempt to maneuver the new technology is an old phenomenon. The digital development results in constantly changing requirements of the legislation and the judicial practice, and where the field must be adjusted constantly by today's technology. On paper, we have never had a stronger copyright law in Sweden than we have today. The Copyright law has been adapted to the digi
Dikade skogsmarker skapar stora växthusgasutsläpp - är återvätning en lösning? Skogen tar upp väsentliga mängder koldioxid vilket spelar en betydande roll för att mildra den pågående globala uppvärmningen. Dock har det visat sig att vissa skogsmarker kan ge upphov till stora växthusgasutsläpp - det finns ungefär 1 miljon hektar skogsmark på dikade torvmarker i Sverige som släpper ut 7-10 miljonePeatlands store substantial amounts of carbon. When drainage of these areas occurs in order to use for practices such as forestry, greenhouse gases (GHG) will be emitted which will enhance climate change. The aim of this study was to explore whether rewetting of drained forest covered peatlands can reduce its impact on climate and which conflicts with forestry this can lead to. As a case study, th
Accidents always get a lot of public attention. Journalists appear at the site of an accident, taking pictures and making interviews with professionals and eyewitnesses. With the emergence of smartphones, online-media, and social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. everyone became a journalist. It is no longer only accidents catching public attention but also near misses, sm
There is growing evidence of the importance of extramatrical mycelium (EMM) of mycorrhizal fungi in carbon (C) cycling in ecosystems. However, our understanding has until recently been mainly based on laboratory experiments, and knowledge of such basic parameters as variations in mycelial production, standing biomass and turnover as well as the regulatory mechanisms behind such variations in fores
Har du någonsin funderat på vad något är värt för dig? När du går i affären har du kanske jämfört kilopriser på olika livsmedel, visst är det hjälpsamt att kunna jämföra vilket som är ett bättre val för dig. Detta är vad en miljöekonomisk analys försöker göra med två olika skogsbruksmetoder. I den här kostnadsnyttoanalysen så jämförs hyggesfritt skogsbruk med det vanligare systemet, trakthyggesbruForests and forest products are important, not just for timber production, the forest ecosystem plays several important roles, such as water purification, carbon sequestration for climate mitigation and recreational values. How the forests are managed varies throughout the globe, in Sweden the most used system is the clearcutting system (CF), however continuous cover forestry (CCF) is gaining popu
What determines the seasonal and interannual variation of growth rates in trees in a tropical forest? We explore this question with a novel four-year high-temporal-resolution data set of carbon allocation from two forest plots in the Bolivian Amazon. The forests show strong seasonal variation in tree wood growth rates, which are largely explained by shifts in carbon allocation, and not by shifts i
Comparison between growth variability, based on ring-width (RW) analysis, and moisture-sensitive signals in tree-ring carbon and oxygen stable-isotope composition provides increased understanding of how climate and hydrology influenced bog pines (Pinus sylvestris L) at two sites in southern Sweden during the mid- and late Holocene. Tree-ring sequences from two subfossil trees collected at raised b
