As no real determinants, except the physical, can differentiate competence between the two genders, this study aims to inv

Mikroplast i tumlare - Metodutveckling i sökandet efter mikroplaster i tarminnehåll från tumlare

Metodutveckling i sökandet efter mikroplaster i tarminnehåll från tumlare Ett allt växande problem är ökande mängden mikroplaster i havet och hur de påverkar havslevande organismer. Mikroplast är små plastbitar som är mellan 0,1 - 500 mikrometer. De är uppdelade i primära och sekundära mikroplaster. Det har visat sig att båda typerna ackumuleras och stannar kvar i vattenlevande ekosystem där plasAn ever-growing problem is the increasing amount of microplastics in the sea and how they affect marine organisms. Microplastics are small pieces of plastic that are between 0.1 - 500 micrometres. They are divided into primary and secondary microplastics. Primary microplastics are those plastics that are intentionally produced to be microplastics. Secondary microplastics are generated from larger

Microglia in the Aged Subventricular Zone Acquire a Disease Associated Transcriptome – Implications for Neurogenesis

Neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons from neural stem cells, persists throughout life but with a rapid reduction during aging. With such a reduction, decline in cognitive abilities and the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases are imminent. It is, therefore, important to better understand the role of key factors involved in the reduction of neurogenesis during aging. Microglia, the brain-

Climate change adaptation and urban development: a genealogy of flood risk management in Glasgow

As cities increasingly implement climate change adaptation (CCA) projects, it is important to assess the potential long-term consequences of urban climate adaptation on socio-economic inequalities. As CCA is still in its infancy, observing long-term impact can be challenging. In this context, the historical study of past flood risk management (FRM) measures provides a useful proxy. This study uses

Översvämningshotad bebyggelse i Skåne och Halland - Tröskelanalys som metod för att utreda samhällets sårbarhet vid en havsnivåhöjning.

Översvämningshotade byggnader är ett växande problem som uppkommer till följd av havsnivåhöjningen. Problemet är större i södra delar av landet, där många fastigheter riskerar att ta skada eller förstöras till följd av översvämningar. För att förbereda Skåne och Halland för framtiden behövs därför informationen hur havsnivåhöjningen kommer uttrycka sig. Detta projekt fokuserar på att samla, förvalBuildings threatened by folding is an ever-increasing problem due to sea level rise. The problem is greater in the southern parts of Sweden compared to the rest of the country, where a lot of properties are at risk of being destroyed or damaged as a consequence of floods. To prepare Scania and Halland for the future, information about the sea level rise is therefore needed. This project focuses on

Activating Amiralsgatan through Urban Regeneration

Amiralsgatan, Rosengård, is a highway area in Malmö. It consists of segregated streets with no connection between them with limited social activities. Rosengård’s population is mainly immigrants, living in the Million Housing Program, hence low-wage living, which makes them segregated from the rest of Malmö. The aim of this project is to integrate Rosengård into the rest of Malmö by achieving a he
