Master of Science in Development Studies Alumni portrait of Liton Roy, from the Master of Science in Development Studies. Interview was conducted in January 2024. Hi Liton! What have you been up to since graduating from Development Studies in 2012?Since graduating from Development Studies in 2012, I have been actively involved in the field of humanitarian service. Initially, I joined a research-ba

This thesis project is aimed to answer the questions: What could be done to design areas for making them flood resilient? How can sustainable urban design be adapted to provide flood resilience while transforming an area into a more livable space? Starting with these questions, the past of Hamburg and existing situation have been analyzed, a research has been done about the floods, climate change
Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur företag kommunicerat inom ramen för Rysslands invasion av Ukraina för att skapa sig legitimitet. Uppsatsens syfte är att djupdyka i hur företag, sedan invasionen bröt ut, agerat och kommunicerat sitt ställningstagande i invasionen. Forskningsfråga: Hur skapar företag legitimitet genom sin kommunikation under kriget mellan Ryssland och Ukraina? Meto
We have studied the geometry and singlet-triplet energy difference of two mono-nuclear Ni2+ models related to the active site in [NiFe] hydrogenase. Multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory based on a complete active-space wavefunction with an active space of 12 electrons in 12 orbitals, CASPT2(12,12), reproduces experimental bond lengths to within 1 pm. Calculated singlet-triplet ene
Studien syftar till att undersöka digital kriskommunikation i kontexten av förtroendekriser inom den svenska finansbranschen. I form av en kvalitativ fallstudie och med en socialkonstruktivistisk ansats undersöks det svenska pensionsbolaget Alectas digitala kriskommunikation i samband med en förtroendekris bestående av två olika krisperioder. Studien undersöker även hur Alectas kriskommunikation oThis study aims to explore digital crisis communication in the context of trust crises within the Swedish financial industry. Through a qualitative case study and a social constructivist approach, the digital crisis communication of the Swedish pension company Alecta is examined in connection to a trust crisis consisting of two separate crisis periods. The study further explores how Alecta's c
This thesis examines the preservation of social media user activity as digitala folkminnen (digital folk memories), using as a case the two Swedish platforms of LunarStorm and Bilddagboken (Dayviews), which were integral to the daily lives of young people in Sweden in the early 2000s. As these platforms face closure or data loss, there is a risk of losing users’ contributions forever. While govern
Age-related misfolding and aggregation of disease-linked proteins in selective brain regions is a characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Although neuropathological aggregates that characterize these various diseases are found at sites other than synapses, increasing evidence supports the idea that synapses are where the pathogenesis begins. Understanding these diseases is hampered by our la
Aim: To evaluate (1) whether three migratory nightjar species (Family Caprimulgidae) adhere to Bergmann's rule, (2) whether environmental factors on the breeding or wintering grounds determine body size, and (3) which mechanistic hypotheses best explain Bergmannian patterns in body size. Location: North and South America; Europe and Africa. Taxon: Eastern whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferus), Co
Here, we use carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (N2O) and radon (222Rn) data from the Saclay ICOS tall tower in France to estimate CO2, CH4 and CO fluxes within the station footprint from January 2017 to October 2024 and N2O fluxes from February 2019 to October 2024 using the Radon Tracer Method (RTM). We first performed a sensitivity study of this method appl
Background: Generating parasite genomes is challenging when little of the DNA in infected host tissue is from the parasite. We used selective whole genome amplification (SWGA) to generate genomic data from wildlife samples of the avian haemosporidian Haemoproteus majoris (lineage PARUS1) and its host, the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus). Methods: We used SWGA to amplify the parasite DNA in nine avi
β-Alanine synthase is the final enzyme of the reductive pyrimidine catabolic pathway, which is responsible for the breakdown of uracil and thymine in higher organisms. The fold of the homodimeric enzyme from the yeast Saccharomyces kluyveri identifies it as a member of the AcyI/M20 family of metallopeptidases. Its subunit consists of a catalytic domain harboring a di-zinc center and a smaller dime
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under den senaste tiden har problematiken med klimatförändringarna debatterats livligt. För att kunna förutspå den framtida omfattningen av klimatförändringarna och vilka konsekvenser dessa kommer att ha är det ytterst relevant att känna till utbytet av växthusgaser mellan atmosfär och jordens alla ekosystem. Arktiska ekosystem är ytterst känsliga för den globala uppvärArctic ecosystems play a key role in the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle, but spa-tially explicit data on the C exchange is scarce in these remote areas. The global warming is especially dominant in the Arctic, and these areas are vul-nerable to climate change. It is therefore important to quantify and understand the processes affecting the C dynamics in these regions. In this thesis, the land-atmosp
BACKGROUND: Cystatin C is a low molecular weight cysteine proteinase inhibitor whose plasma or serum concentrations have been shown to be better correlated with glomerular filtration rate than serum creatinine concentrations. Routine assays for cystatin C are based on use of polyclonal antibodies and immunoturbidimetric and nephelometric designs. This study aimed to develop a double-monoclonal imm
The nucleotide binding site-leucine-rich repeats (NBSLRR) belong to one of the largest known families of disease resistance genes that encode resistance proteins (R-protein) against the pathogens of plants. Various defence mechanisms have explained the regulation of plant immunity, but still, we have limited understanding about plant defence against different pathogens. Identification of R-protein
In scenarios coined Maxwell's demon, information on microscopic degrees of freedom is used to seemingly violate the second law of thermodynamics. This has been studied in the classical as well as the quantum domain. In this paper, we study an implementation of Maxwell's demon that can operate in both domains. In particular, we investigate information-to-work conversion over the quantum-to-classica
