Ämnet Urban design och urbanism handlar om undervisning och forskning som rör stadsplanering och utformning av det offentliga rummet, där ämnet vill verka för en hållbar utveckling. Här ingår bland annat lärare från Masterprogram för hållbar stadsgestaltning (SUDes). Forskningen inom ämnet handlar framför allt om studier av stadsrummet och dess möjligheter. Vidare studeras frågor om social segreThe subject of Urban Design and Urbanism is concerned with teaching and research about city planning and the shaping of the public realm, with a focus on sustainable development. Members of staff from the Master's programme for Sustainable Urban Design are among those who teach on the subject. Research in the subject is primarily concerned with studies of urban spaces and their potential. Additi

Context: Estrogens regulate bone mass by binding to the estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha as well as ER-beta. The specific ER -cofactor retinoblastoma-interacting zinc finger protein (RIZ)-1 enhances ER alpha function in the presence of estrogen. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether a RIZ P704 insertion (+)/ deletion (-) (indel) polymorphism modulates the impact of estradiol o

The world's fisheries have been in decline for more than forty years. In Mexico, about 80% of the fishery resources are at maximum capacity levels or overexploited. Given the magnitude of the problem, there is a need for solutions that involve all actors in the fish supply chain. However, solutions and research on how actors in the middle of the supply chain such as restaurants can be integrat

The Chernobyl catastrophe is still referred to as the biggest radioactivity fallout problem in the history of the world. The cloud that was released from the broken reactor travelled across larger parts of the European continent and the after-effects of the radiation are said to be felt and faced throughout the impacted regions up to this day – and that this process is far from over. This thesis

We suggest that a renewed focus on integration (broadly conceived) would enablethe field to contemplate the ways in which crisis dynamics interconnect with and amplify three founding and (and unresolved) dilemmas of the European project. These can be summarized as (a) the constant tension between the goal of delivering an EU-wide market order versus the desire to ensure social solidarity, (b) the

To elucidate the etiology of type 1 diabetes, the affected pancreas needs to be thoroughly characterized. Pancreatic innervation has been suggested to be involved in the pathology of the disease and a reduction of sympathetic innervation of the islets was recently reported. In the present study, we hypothesized that parasympathetic innervation would be altered in the type 1 diabetes pancreas. Huma

Background: OSA is a common sleep-breathing disorder linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Intermittent upper airway obstruction and hypoxia, hallmarks of OSA, have been shown in animal models to induce substantial changes to the gut microbiota composition, and subsequent transplantation of fecal matter to other animals induced changes in BP and glucose metabolism. Research Question:

In Mycena sectio Calodontes with otherwise amyloid spores, the inamyloid spores of Mycena pearsoniana Dennis ex Singer were a distinguishing feature for this species and its subsection Violacella. Although the original concept of this species was European, Singer chose to typify it with material collected in Mexico. The name has since been applied to all European collections with inamyloid spores

Who benefits from the ignorance of others? We address this question from the point of view of a policy maker who can induce some ignorance into a system of agents competing for resources. Evolutionary game theory shows that when unconditional cooperators or ignorant agents compete with defectors in two-strategy settings, unconditional cooperators get exploited and are rendered extinct. In contrast

Background: Collider bias is often considered a potential explanation when the association between obesity and disease diagnosis differs from that with disease outcome, as seen in the “obesity paradox.” For prostate cancer (PCa), in particular localized PCa, an “inverse” obesity paradox has been observed, where body mass index (BMI) is negatively associated with diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR] ~0.9 p
