2. Shifting perspectives through Choreography : a study on bodily rights from an Indigenous perspective
Magister-uppsats, Stockholms konstnärliga högskola/Institutionen för scenkonstSammanfattning : In the current globalisation of the planet, Indigenous peoples are attempting to reclaim their lands from extraction and natural disruptions due to new sustainable energy projects and dam constructions. This study is exploring how choreography and dance are addressing the issue of exploitation of land and bodies, directly weaving together ideas of ancestry and indigeneity through gathered testimonies from three Indigenous choreographers.

3. Evolutionary History of Nickel-Dependent Enzymes : Implications for the Origins of Life.
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/PaleobiologiSammanfattning : Nickel enzymes have been suggested, through numerous phylogenetic studies, to have been among the very first catalytic compounds on the early Earth, possibly present in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) or prior to the onset of life. This is because of the type of reactions catalyzed by some of these enzymes, the nature of organisms that utilize them, their distribution in the tree of life, and their key roles in what is now thought of as possibly one of the oldest carbon fixation pathways, the Wood-Ljungdahl (WL) pathway.

4. Phylogenetic analysis of aquatic microbiomes : Evolution of the brackish microbiome
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Sammanfattning : Microorganisms play crucial roles in aquatic environments in determining ecosystemstability and driving the turnover of elements essential to life. Understanding thedistribution and evolution of aquatic microorganisms will help us predict how aquaticecosystems will respond to Global Change, and such understanding can be gained bystudying these processes of the past.

5. A phonological reconstruction of Proto-Omagua–Kokama–Tupinambá
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskapSammanfattning : Las lenguas omagua [omg] y kokama [cod] de la familia tupí–guaraní constituyen ejemplos interesantes de contacto lingüístico en Amazonia. Esto es evidente de su léxico que es mayormente tupí–guaraní, con un gran porcentaje de formas no-tupí–guaraní, y la gramática, que es muy distinta de otras lenguas tupí–guaraní. LÄS MER
