  1. 16. Assessing the Transformative Potential of a Sociocracy-Informed Climate Change Adaptation Lab in Lund, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Rory Daniel Antoniuk; Spilios Iliopoulos; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Climate change; climate change adaptation; sociocracy; transformational change; transformative change; power; power cube; ladder of participation; complexity; systems; public participation; climate change adaptation lab; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Effective climate change adaptation necessitates enhanced public participation as there is a need for the voice of people to be meaningfully incorporated to facilitate transformational adaptation, contend with complexity, and avoid maladaptation. Despite this, widespread participation in climate change adaptation governance in Global North countries like Sweden is currently restricted by rigid power dynamics, even in spaces that purport to be transformationally participatory.

  2. 17. The future is green : How the greenium of corporate bonds evolve over time and what factors impact yield

    Master-uppsats, Jönköping University

    Författare :Daniel Witermark; Adam Neem Laahanen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Green bond; greenium; OLS regression; Sustainable finance;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The impact of climate change on people's health and lives is a growing concern, with viruses, malnutrition, and heat stress potentially causing up to 250,000 deaths per year between 2030-2050. To address this issue, organizations and institutions are taking action to create a more sustainable world. LÄS MER

  3. 18. Effect of a plant-derived nutraceutical on the tolerance of axenically-cultured Artemia towards abiotic or biotic stressor

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Författare :Ahumuza Allan Castro; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Artemia; Hsp70; Vibrio campbellii; plant extract; aquaculture; abiotic stressor;

    Sammanfattning : Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food-production industries worldwide accounting for almost half of fish used for human consumption. Super-intensive, intensive, and semi-intensive farming practices used to produce large farm fish are increasing the frequency of disease outbreaks which is a major problem affecting sustainable aquaculture growth.

  4. 19. Thermal tolerance of native vs. invasive marine species at the Northern coast of Portugal

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Sofie Michelsen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Biodiversity; Climate change; Marine ecosystems; Marine heat waves; Intertidal environment; Invasive species; Macroalgae; Mussels; Sustainable Development; Thermal tolerance;

    Sammanfattning : Two prominent factors posing a major threat to biodiversity in marine ecosystems are climate change and the establishment of invasive species, and the interaction between these two. Because of the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water, the coast of Portugal is a thermal refuge and distribution edge for cold-adapted species, making it a particularly important study area from a biodiversity point of view.

  5. 20. Computational Pipeline for Analyses of Genome-Wide Nascent Transcription from PRO-seq Data

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Genteknologi

    Författare :Serhat Aktay; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Transcription; functional genomic regions; heat shock response; computational pipeline development; automation.; Genavläsning; genomets funktionella regioner; värmechockrespons; dataanalysutveckling; automatisering;

    Sammanfattning : Celler har en rad olika sätt att försvara sig mot stress för att överleva, främst genom att reglera transkriptionen av gener. En metod för att undersöka hur cellens transkription förändras vid cellulär stress är precision run-on sequencing (PRO-seq). LÄS MER
