11. Temporal, climatic and spatial variation in the distribution and activity patterns of the raccoon (Procyon lotor) in Hainich National Park, Germany
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : The raccoon (Procyon lotor) has been a part of German fauna since the 1920s, following a number of releases and escapes from captivity. This study intends to investigate the distribution and activity patterns of this non-native mesopredator in Hainich National Park, which lies in Central Germany, in-between 3 core areas of established raccoon populations.

12. Knowledge dissemination from and knowledge production of a public review digital information source : A snapshot of visitors and active users’ activity in two language versions of Wikipedia
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper (KV)Abstract : During the last two decades, Wikipedia’s multiple language versions managed to become editable forms of knowledge source, publicly available, which deal both, with non-typical knowledge dissemination and knowledge production, thanks to visitors’ viewership and active users/Wikipedians visitation/viewership and voluntary contribution, respectively. This dissertation investigates the function of recent viewership and editing in Wikipedia in Greek (WiG) and Bulgarian Language (WiB), by visitors and active users/Wikipedians (G-Wiks and B-Wiks), respectively, with respect to the issue of knowledge production (including reproduction) in the broader spectrum of Epistemology.

13. Investigation of Chromatin Organization and mRNA Expression in Drug Treated Human Erythroleukemia Cells
University essay from KTH/ProteinvetenskapAbstract : Syftet med detta projekt var att undersöka hur vanligt använda cancerläkemedel påverkar mRNA-uttryck och kromatinorganisation i humana erytroleukemiceller. Som modell användes K562-celler från en patient i blastocystkris (2), för att utvärdera leukemicellernas svar på cancerläkemedel vinblastin och doxorubicin. READ MORE

14. How About Running on Mars ? Influence of Sensory Coherence on the Running Pattern and on Spatial Perception in Simulated Reduced Gravity
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Motor control, including locomotion, strongly depends on the gravitational field. Recent developments like lower-body positive pressure treadmills (LBPPTs) have enabled Earth- based studies on the effects of reduced body weight (BW) on walking and running. Yet, the observed adaptations to simulated hypogravity are not optimal. READ MORE

15. Analysis of DNA methylation changes and behavioural outcomes in adulthood induced by prenatal exposure to a mixture of endocrine disrupting chemicals
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDCs, are some of the most prevalent toxic chemicals found in the environment because of human activity and they have a variety of adverse effects on both humans and wildlife. A proposed mechanism through which EDCs can negatively affect an organism is via an epigenetic mechanism known as DNA methylation, which can affect the development of the organism with negative outcomes later in life.
