Landscape composition influences invertebrate herbivory on flowering forbs in semi-natural grasslands

Landscape-scale land use is important in driving species communities and interactions. However, despite increasing concerns regarding the ecological consequences of insect declines, our understanding of how the relative proportions of different land cover types influence insect herbivory in species-rich semi-natural habitats remains limited. This study assessed leaf, stem, and flower herbivory acr

Imagining the Impossible - Conflicting Norms and Values on Social Sustainability, Security, and Artificial Intelligence

This thesis explores the relationship between AI, security, and social sustainability as a sociotechnical system, analyzing the implications and perspectives that arise from this understanding. It represents a culmination of four articles that rely on both conceptual insights and empirical findings. The articles incorporate diverse perspectives to enhance the comprehension of AI’s effects on socia

Drawing the Infinite

The presentation brings together two of her recent film installations and a selection of her sculptural works from the past decade. It highlights Barba’s continuous engagement with the representational function of images and language as they are channeled through cinematic apparatuses.For Barba, cinema is a sovereign and speculative instrument that critically questions the singular properties of s

Exhibition Notes

The Exhibition Notes installation includes Blind Volumes (2016/2022), a work that uses steel frames as a support, a kind of stage on which films and kinetic sculptures are displayed. Eight further artworks are choreographed around the gallery, transforming it into a place for experimentation. The gallery thus becomes a space where the constitutive elements of film, celluloid, projector and sound a

Ethics as an enabler and a constraint : Narratives on technology development and artificial intelligence in military affairs through the case of Project Maven

Project Maven is an AI-induced information technology for military applications initiated by the United States Department of Defence (DoD) in 2017 and originally signed on to a civilian contractor, namely Google. However, this initiative raised massive resistance from a substantial amount of Google employees, eventually leading to the contract's annulation. This article uses narrative analysis to

Radiant Exposures

In Radiant Exposures the artist introduces an exhibition architecture with two angled walls that steers visitors through the space and also provides a structure in which Barba’s films are screened and the artist’s sculptural works installed in a carefully orchestrated setting. Yet, signaling the importance of both film and sound as major themes in Rosa Barba’s practice, visitors will encounter the

Forestation in CMIP6: wide model spread in tree cover and land carbon uptake

Forestation is expected to play an significant role as a terrestrial carbon dioxide removal technology in low-emission scenarios by storing carbon in the biosphere, thereby changing the physical properties of the land surface. To represent land use change, including afforestation and reforestation (AR), Earth system models (ESM) that contribute to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6

Weavers

This original proposal by the artist and filmmaker Rosa Barba is deployed in two spaces of the art center. In the nave, she conceives an in situ project, in connection with the research carried out during her recent residency at the Atelier Calder, located in Saché. The second part of the exhibition takes place in the black gallery and immerses us in a cinematographic space mixing images and sculp

Pillage of the Sea : permanent sculpture in the sea

In Ostend, Rosa Barba presents Pillage of the Sea, 2021, a permanent sculpture. Barba has anchored an outsized cairn on the beach, imitating stones by pouring concrete in textile. The textile makes one think of the form of sandbags, with which Barba creates a type of imaginary barrier against the future rise in the sea level. Each stone symbolizes a city, the fate of which is threatened by climate

Klimatanpassning av vägar i strandnära områden

I den här rapporten ges en sammanfattning av en del av resultaten och metoderna från projektet Klimatanpassning av väg och järnväg i strandnära områden. Projektet har finansierats av Trafikverket och syftar till att studera klimatrisker för kustnära vägar med avseende på översvämnings- och erosionsprocesser, samt hur den riskutsatta infrastrukturen kan skyddas genom hållbara och naturanpassade met

Structural characterization of an extracellular contractile injection system from Photorhabdus luminescens in extended and contracted states.

Contractile injection systems (CISs) are phage-tail-like nanosyringes that mediate bacterial interactions by puncturing target cell membranes. Within these systems, Photorhabdus Virulence Cassettes (PVCs) can translocate toxins across eukaryotic target cell membranes. The structure of a PVC has been described at atomic level and engineered to deliver diverse protein cargoes into non-natively-targe

Adult Hip Dysplasia - Prevalence and Consequence

Background: Adult hip dysplasia is one of the few potentially modifiable risk factors for hip osteoarthritis (OA). However, the prevalence of hip dysplasia and the strength of its association with OA are not fullyunderstood.Aims and methods:I. To determine the prevalence of hip dysplasia in a Swedish population and investigate whether the condition was mentioned in radiology reports. The center ed

Tolkning av upphandlade avtal

Avtal kan innehålla otydligheter som gör att det blir nödvändigt med en tolkning. De kan också vara ofullständiga på ett sätt som gör att de måste fyllas ut med lagbestämmelser. Det här gäller givetvis även avtal som slutits efter att beslut om kontraktstilldelning fattats efter en genomförd offentlig upphandling. Varken upphandlingsdirektiven eller den svenska lagstiftningen tar ställning i fråga

Platting

The works, which consist of wooden planks mounted on steel supports, at first look deceptively like found objects, like standard industrial pallets. Upon closer study they are obviously handcrafted, not manufactured. Fredrik Værslev’s Garden Paintings first appeared in 2011. The planks themselves may be industrially made, but they are mounted manually and subjected to a variety of painterly techni
