16. Evolutionary History of Nickel-Dependent Enzymes : Implications for the Origins of Life.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/PaleobiologiAbstract : Nickel enzymes have been suggested, through numerous phylogenetic studies, to have been among the very first catalytic compounds on the early Earth, possibly present in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) or prior to the onset of life. This is because of the type of reactions catalyzed by some of these enzymes, the nature of organisms that utilize them, their distribution in the tree of life, and their key roles in what is now thought of as possibly one of the oldest carbon fixation pathways, the Wood-Ljungdahl (WL) pathway.

18. Search for Preserved Methanogenic Organisms in Ophiolitic Rocks through Lipid Biomarker Analysis – Implications for Astrobiological Explorations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Serpentinization is a metamorphic low-temperature geological process, involving a series of chemical reactions that hydrate ultramafic rocks into serpentines and other minerals such as magnetite and brucite. Moreover, the process produces heavily reducing and highly alkaline fluids together with molecular hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), which have the capacity to support chemosynthetic microbial life.

19. When a natural disaster occurs during a conflict – Catalyst or obstacle for peace? : A comparative case study of the insurgency in Aceh, Indonesia and the Sri Lankan civil war in relation to the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teologiska institutionenAbstract : Superficial information of the civil wars in Aceh, Indonesia and Sri Lanka creates the idea that both conflicts were in similar situations when they were hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. It thus seems surprising that in the wake of the tsunami, the Free Aceh Movement and the Government of Indonesia signed a peace agreement, while the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the Government of Sri Lanka returned to war.
