Pollutant emissions to the environment caused by human activity is a worldwide problem. This can occur due to residential fires which are often connected to loss of human lifes and belongings, as well as environmental damage. Residential fires canlead to emissions of pollutants that can be released to the air, water and soil. In this study, the level of soil contamination caused by residential fi
With climate change resulting from a history of uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions, all parts of society now need to take action - maybe most importantly the private sector. Since 2015 the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative has committed over 5000 companies worldwide to heavily reduce their total emissions at a pace that scientists deem necessary for average global temperature rise to stay
Biodiversity is declining all over the world due to human activities. This is alarming since human survival is dependent on biodiversity and the ecosystem services nature provides. In urban areas, private gardens have been pointed out as important agents for nature conservation, at the same time as they function as expressions of the owner’s identity and personal values. This study investigates wh
This study investigated how pollinators are affected by plant protection products (PPP), what type of PPPs strawberry farmers used and what knowledge they had about these products. To investigate this, a literature review and a survey was conducted. The questionnaire was sent to 70 Swedish strawberry farmers of which 11% participated in the study. The results of the survey shows that all (6) straw
Straw and nutrients retained in soil are crucial for priming effect (PE) and consequently for soil organic matter (SOM) turnover. However, the mechanisms by which carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) and their stoichiometric ratios impact microbial communities and regulate the PE intensity remain controversial, particularly in the flooded rice soils. In this work, the PE dynamics and micro
Abstract Thiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products. The first members were reported over 40?years ago, but total synthesis of a thiosilvatin has remained elusive. Here, we describe the first, collective, synthesis of the parent epidithiodiketopiperazine (?)-dithiosilvatin and ten related thiosilvatins. Several of the targets are structurally rThiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products.

Background: Dental resin composites' performance is intricately linked to their polymerisation shrinkage characteristics. This study compares polymerisation shrinkage using advanced 3D micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and traditional 2D linear assessments. It delves into the crucial role of filler content on shrinkage and the degree of conversion in dental resin composites, providing valuable
Differential growth is central to eukaryotic morphogenesis. We showed using cellular imaging, simulations, and perturbations that light-induced differential growth in a curved organ, the Arabidopsis thaliana apical hook, emerges from the longitudinal expansion of subepidermal cells, acting in parallel with a differential in the material properties of epidermal cell walls that resist expansion. The
With the amendment to the German Climate Change Act in 2021, the Federal Government of Germany has set the target to become greenhouse gas neutral by 2045. Reaching this ambitious target requires multisectoral efforts, which in turn calls for interdisciplinary collaboration: the Net-Zero-2050 project of the Helmholtz Climate Initiative serves as an example of successful, interdisciplinary collabor
Feedback loops are among the core notions in systems thinking – and the various fields of theory and practice that draw on it, including systemic design. We use these notions to develop methodological approaches, conceptualise processes, assess the adequacy of solutions, and anticipate how the design object may interact with its immediate surroundings and beyond. In my presentation, I discuss the
At a geological time-scale, seas rise aloft and mountains crumble. We are currently in the middle of a debate on whether—in order to acknowledge the pervasive and geologically significant traces of human action on the planet—our present era should be labelled the “Anthropocene”, and if so, what would be the cut-off date for the commencement of that era. At the same moment, we are already contempla
Ecosystem functioning depends on biodiversity at multiple trophic levels, yet relationships between multitrophic diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality have been poorly explored, with studies often focusing on individual trophic levels and functions and on specific ecosystem types. Here, we show that plant diversity can affect ecosystem functioning both directly and by affecting other trophic
The increasing global demand for energy and the need to reduce industrial emissions have made energy efficiency a central focus in process industries. Therefore, this thesis investigates system-level optimization strategies for a closed-loop cooling system utilizing seawater. A system commonly used in heavy process industries, with a focus on both design and operational improvements. The study eva
One third of the produced food for human consumption is wasted throughout the sup-ply chain. Given that 45% of the Earth's habitable land is classified as agricultural land, of which 16% is used for crop production, this situation is unsustainable. Food packaging could be one of the solutions to reduce food waste. Smart packaging, which includes active and intelligent packaging, is an innovati
