Explorations of interlinked energy and redox metabolism in two industrially applied microorganisms

Anaerobic fermentation, compared to aerobic processes, remains the most scalable method for bioproduction of compounds. This is due to that aerobic microbial processes require large amounts of energy and are unable to satisfy the oxygen demand of a high-density microbial biomass. Thus, anaerobic microbes are readily scalable to large volumes. It was found that most anaerobic microbes have evolved

Challenges and opportunities for increasing the use of low‑risk plant protection products in sustainable production. A review

Plant production systems worldwide are struggling to meet the diverse and increasing needs of humankind while also facing challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. This, combined with the desirable transition from the use of conventional pesticides to more sustainable plant protection solutions, has led to an urgent, and increasing, need for lowrisk plant protection products (PPPs)

Akkermansia muciniphila exoglycosidases target extended blood group antigens to generate ABO-universal blood

Matching donor and recipient blood groups based on red blood cell (RBC) surface ABO glycans and antibodies in plasma is crucial to avoid potentially fatal reactions during transfusions. Enzymatic conversion of RBC glycans to the universal group O is an attractive solution to simplify blood logistics and prevent ABO-mismatched transfusions. The gut symbiont Akkermansia muciniphila can degrade mucin

Singular potentials, rigidity and recurrence in low dimensional dynamics

In the first part of this thesis we study the behaviour of the equilibrium measure and the Birkhoff sums for a singular potential over the doubling map. A complete multifractal analysis for the the Birkhoff sums and the equilibrium measure (for the ’appropriate’ scaling) is given in Paper I. In Paper II we prove a parameter continuity property of the pressure function for a family of singular pote

Defensores ambientales trabajan para mantener el papel pacificador de la naturaleza en el Norte de Uganda : Hay tres maneras en que se puede pensar la naturaleza para iniciar procesos sostenibles de paz y desarrollo

En los últimos años, ha habido una “ofensiva” contra defensores ambientalistas en Uganda. Periodistas, estudiantes, campesinos y habitantes rurales están defendiendo su medioambiente, protestan y se movilizan contra el trato injusto y la migración forzada provocada por las infraestructuras para el combustible fósil, la agroindustria, energía hidráulica o la compensación de las emisiones de carbono

Very short sleep duration reveals a proteomic fingerprint that is selectively associated with incident diabetes mellitus but not with incident coronary heart disease : a cohort study

Background: The molecular pathways linking short and long sleep duration with incident diabetes mellitus (iDM) and incident coronary heart disease (iCHD) are not known. We aimed to identify circulating protein patterns associated with sleep duration and test their impact on incident cardiometabolic disease. Methods: We assessed sleep duration and measured 78 plasma proteins among 3336 participants

Study of the 7Be(d,3He)6Li* reaction at 5 MeV/u

The measurement of the 7Be(d,3He)6Li* transfer cross section at 5 MeV/u is carried out. The population of the 2.186 MeV excited state of 6Li in this reaction channel is observed for the first time. The experimental angular distributions have been analyzed in the finite range DWBA and coupled-channel frameworks. The effect of the 7Be(d,3He)6Li reaction on both the 6Li and 7Li abundances are investi

This document is part of a project that aims to design environmental strategies focused on addressing previously evaluated issues through primary and secondary information, as well as community surveys. This will be achieved through workshops and environmental education training primarily for students, administrators, teachers, cleaning staff, and maintenance personnel of the institution. The obje

Truth, humane treatment, and identity: perspectives on the legitimacy of the public and private health sectors during Covid in Zambia

Legitimacy is necessary for resilience and trust helps to legitimize health systems. Providing services during Covid has relied on both the private and public sectors but there is little information on differences in trust between these sectors during shocks like Covid and how it may impact the health system’s legitimacy. The purpose of this study was to explore community trust in the public and p

How dare we? The relation between language use, global identity, and climate activism

Identifying with and caring for people all over the world (i.e., a global identity) is positively related to pro-environmental behaviour. However, less is known how to foster such a global identity. Drawing on social identity theory, we investigated whether using inclusive (vs. exclusive) language in the context of demonstrations for climate protection increases people’s global identity. Moreover,

Climate Anxiety: Towards Understanding Its Structure and Correlates in a German-Speaking Quota Sample

The climate crisis is an unprecedented existential threat that causes disturbing emotions, such as anxiety. However, relatively little is known about how people cope with climate anxiety, how it influences mental health and well-being, and whether it is relevant for climate (in)action. Recently, Clayton and Karazsia measured climate anxiety as a “clinically significant anxious response to climate

The effect of traction force on eyelid blood perfusion during closure of defects

PurposeIn oculoplastic surgery the eyelid tissue is frequently stretched in order to repair defects after tumor surgery. However, there is a paucity of research regarding how stretching affects eyelids. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into how traction force affects eyelid stretch as well as tissue perfusion, using a laser-based in vivo monitoring technique.MethodLower-lid pentagonal

Evaluation of the SCAT 5 tool in the assessment of concussion in Para athletes : a Delphi study

OBJECTIVES: To investigate if the sport concussion assessment tool version 5 (SCAT5) could be suitable for application to Para athletes with a visual impairment, a spinal cord injury, or a limb deficiency.METHODS: A 16-member expert panel performed a Delphi technique protocol. The first round encompassed an open-ended questionnaire, with round 2 onwards being composed of a series of closed-ended s

Preliminary strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) baselines for the Bjäre Peninsula and Halland in southern Sweden

During the last decade, the application of strontium isotope analysis (87Sr/86Sr) has increased rapidly. The understanding of the strontium isoscape and the construction of a strontium isotope baseline in southern Scandinavia are biased toward Denmark and southwestern to eastern Scania. We report the results of new baseline samples in Halland and the Bjäre Peninsula, adding to the rich strontium i

Boosting app-based mobile financial services engagement in B2B subsistence marketplaces: : The roles of marketing strategy and app design

Subsistence marketplaces generate over US$4 trillion annual spend and host fifty million B2B subsistence micro-enterprises, globally. These enterprises are increasingly adopting technology-driven service innovations, including app-based mobile financial services, to boost retail supply value chain efficiency. However, fostering users' continued engagement post-adoption in these markets remains cha
