Outdoor heat in urban areas - Model development and applications
(2022-05-10)Heat waves and high outdoor air temperature can lead to heat stress with negative implications for human health and wellbeing such as heat stroke, heat cramps, dehydration and in extreme cases death. The urban population ... -
Experimental Protein Dynamics and its Role in Predicting Protein Function
(2022-05-04)By studying proteins we learn about the processes that control life, such as important procedures in the body, diseases and eventually find more targeted cures for many diseases. Proteins are constantly being built up ... -
Cell Membrane Homeostasis in Mammals - The roles of ADIPOR2 and TLCD1 & 2
(2022-05-04)Ten nanometers. That is the approximate thickness of the plasma membrane that separates the extracellular space from the entire cellular machinery. An asymmetrical bilayer consisting of predominantly phospholipids in which ... -
Towards 3D Covalent Organic Framework Films
(2022-05-03)Porous materials are of great scientific interest because they are able to interact with guests, such as ions, atoms and molecules throughout their entire volume. One big subgroup of organic porous materials are covalent ... -
Smart microswimmers in complex flows
(2022)Zooplankton are playing a pivotal role in balancing the life on Earth. By grazing on phytoplankton and then serving as food source to larger aquatic animals, they pave the way of redistributing the Sun’s energy and ... -
Dekorativt 1700-talssmide: Att tolka formspråk genom hantverksanalys
(Hantverkslaboratoriet, Göteborgs universitet, 2022)Arbetet har genomförts som ett gästhantverkarprojekt vid Hantverkslaboratoriet, Göteborgs universitet. Det vidgar genom olika undersökande processer förståelsen av det svenska dekorativa smidet. Tre delundersökningar ingår: ... -
A landscape of values - a study of non-epistemic values in Swedish upper secondary science education
(2022-04-26)This thesis sets out to investigate the role of non-epistemic values in science education from three actors’ perspectives – the science student, the science teacher, and the science teacher educator. More specifically, the ... -
Ocean mixing and polynyas at Maud Rise, Weddell Sea
(2022-04-22)The Weddell Sea Polynya is an intermittent, ice free area in the marginal ice zone with an extent of up to 350 000 km². It was first observed by satellites in the winter seasons of 1974-1976. In 2016 and 2017, an open-ocean ... -
Crossing barriers: Genetic consequences of translocating wild cleaner fish for aquaculture
(2022-04-21)Several species of fish show a symbiotic cleaning behaviour, where they assist other species by feeding and removing dead skin or ectoparasites. Some of these cleaner fish species are used as a low-cost parasite control ... -
Mathematical Modelling of Cellular Ageing: a Multi-Scale Perspective
(2022-04-19)In a growing and increasingly older population, we are progressively challenged by the impact of ageing on individuals and society. The UN declared the years 2021-2030 as the Decade of Healthy Ageing, highlighting the ... -
Impact of climate variability on dynamic groundwater storage in mid- to high latitude countries
(2022-04-07)Climate change will alter the hydrological cycle, potentially changing dynamic groundwater storage and increasing groundwater drought risk. Climate influences groundwater storage directly via changes in groundwater ... -
Mutagenesis in wheat: An approach to make saline green!
(2022-04-01)The raising salinity in the soils around the world have been widely studied during the last decades due to the massive loss in agricultural land. Today, nearly 8% of the world’s arable land can no longer be used for crop ... -
Speech to celebrate the Department of Marine Sciences' 6th anniversary, 2021.

Nitrogen-containing products from atmospheric oxidation of volatile organic compounds
(2022-03-15)Atmospheric oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) produces a wide range of oxygenated organic products that lead to formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). SOA represents a significant fraction of the ... -
Laser Scanning Multiphoton Microscopy – Focusing on Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging for Biomedical Applications
(2022-03-02)Laser scanning multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is considered as a non-invasive technology for three-dimensional imaging of complex biological tissues. The quantitative potential of the MPM is not investigated as much as ... -
Excited state dynamics in the strong coupling regime
(2022-02-24)Strong exciton-photon coupling exhibits the possibility to modify photophysical and photochemical properties of organic molecules without changing their structure. This is due to the formation of hybrid light-matter states, ... -
Parasite host interaction between the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) – the impact from glochidia larvae on the host
(2022-02-17)Parasites can modulate the physiology and behavior of the hosts to enhance their chances to complete their life cycle. The numerous freshwater bivalves of the order Unionoida all have a parasitic larval stage, also known ... -
Electromagnetic Field Induced Out-of-Equilibrium Structural Dynamics in Protein Crystals: From Picoseconds to Milliseconds
(2022-02-04)Light-induced interactions in biomolecules are strongly varying over different model systems. Most amino acids and proteins absorb ultraviolet light, but only a few with specialised chromophores or fluorophores, are able ... -
Dynamics of particles in fluids: effects of correlations and interactions
(2022-01-24)Particles suspended in turbulent fluid flows are common in Nature and in technological applications. In some cases, the relative dynamics of spherical particles may be of interest. One example is small rain droplets in ...
