This presentation discusses ways in which veganism can be conceptualized as political participation. What are the political aspects of the increasingly popular practice, which by some is understood as a personal dietary choice, by others a conscious lifestyle, and by still others a part of a broader emancipatory project of multispecies justice? The presentation argues that the rising vegan movemen

Om frågelistan LUF 236 Cykling
Frågelistor kan ha ha olika utgångspunkter, syften och användningsområden. Listan LUF 263 Tåg och järnvägar initierades i samband med arbetet med att strukturera ett forskningsprojekt. Svaren kom att få stor betydelse för projektets inriktning och utformning. Samtidigt kom de att användas i arbetet med en museiutställning, något som inte var planerat när listan formulerades. När, var och hur en fr
We built machine learning and image analysis tools in order to forecast winter wheat yield based on a rich multi dimensional tensor of agricultural information spanning different scales. This information consists of satellite multi-band images, local soil samples obtained from national databases, local weather as well as field data from 23 farms cultivating winter wheat in southern Sweden. This is
Inom civilrätten uppstår emellanåt behovet av att återställa ett förhållande så att det i möjligaste mån återspeglar de omständigheter som i ett specifikt skede tidigare gällde i relationen mellan de involverade. Sådant behov kan t.ex. uppstå vid ogiltighet alternativt hävning av kontrakt i avtalsrätten, vindikation i sakrätten eller återvinning i konkursrätten. Att rent faktiskt skruva tillbaka t
I denna anmälan av doktorsavhandlingen Värdeersättning vid återgång, författad av Marigó Oulis, Uppsala, väcks å ena sidan frågor rörande dels avhandlingens något otraditionella upplägg, dels en viss spretighet avseende vilka spörsmål som egentligen står i fokus för studien. Å andra sidan hyllas både det ambitiösa grundarbete som genomgående präglar verket samt flera av de utförliga resonemang som
Biomass is an environmentally friendly renewable energy source and carbon-neutral fuel alternative. Direct combustion/gasification of biomass in the dense particle-fluid system is an important pathway to biomass energy utilization. To efficiently utilize biomass for energy conversion, a full understanding of biomass thermal conversion in lab/industrial-scale equipment is essential. This thesis aim
Sunlight is a plentiful, continuously flowing source of energy, fuelling life on Earth as we know it. To use this potential, plants, cyanobacteria and photosynthetic bacteria evolved to absorb solar radiance and convert it into a chemically stable form by performing a process known as photosynthesis. Despite a wide variety of photosynthetic systems, the initial steps of photosynthesis are similar.
BACKGROUND: Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have an increased risk of developing epilepsy. Both ASD and epilepsy have been associated with increased levels of immune factors in the blood, including the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6). Mice lacking the synapsin 2 gene (Syn2 KO) exhibit ASD-like behavior and develop epileptic seizures. Their brains display neuroinflamma
During epileptic seizures, neuronal network activity is hyper synchronized whereby GABAergic parvalbumin-interneurons may have a key role. Previous studies have mostly utilized 4-aminopyridine to induce epileptiform discharges in brain slices from healthy animals. However, it is not clear if the seizure-triggering ability of parvalbumin-interneurons also holds true without the use of external conv
Significant collaborations with research partners in China are seen in many Western countries. With increasing geopolitical tensions governments, research institutions and individuals are increasingly called upon to address a proliferating array of risks and challenges associated with scientific collaboration with China. The situation is characterised by two parallel, intertwined processes. On the
The labour market consequences of early-onset or congenital disabilities have received little attention in the literature. In this paper, we study the consequences of cerebral palsy (CP), a lifelong early onset disability, and pathways through which it affects labour outcomes. We use data from multiple linked Swedish National Population Registers between 1990 and 2015 and apply both regression and
