This thesis explores the potential for collaboration between architecture students and children in the creative process of architectural design, emphasizing how such partnerships can transform spaces and enrich the built environment. Drawing on research that explores interactions between architecture students and children, as well as by connecting my own memories of this area with those of the chi

The Oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta is distributed throughout temperate regions and considered to be a pest in peach production and other high-value fruit crops in the rose family. Insecticide treatment has led to resistance development, but the use of sex pheromones in pest management has shown great promise. We investigated the pheromone biosynthesis pathway in G. molesta with the aim of

The world faces multiple water crises, including overextraction, flooding, ecosystem degradation and inequitable safe water access. Insufficient funding and ineffective implementation impede progress in water access, while, in part, a misdiagnosis of the causes has prioritized some responses over others (for example, hard over soft infrastructure). We reframe the responses to mitigating the world’

Accelerated biodiversity loss has destabilized functional links within and between ecosystems. Species that cross different ecosystems during migration between breeding and nonbreeding sites are particularly sensitive to global change because they are exposed to various, often ecosystem-specific, threats. Because these threats have lethal and nonlethal effects on populations, many migratory specie

Cubosomes are non-lamellar lipid nanoparticles that have drawn a significant attention in the field of nanomedicine due to their tunable properties. However, the formation of vesicles during the preparation of cubosomes, and the presence of mixed bicontinuous cubic phases, may lead to artifacts and lack of correlation between the physico-chemical and biological characterization. In this work, we h

BACKGROUND: The degree to which avian migrants revisit the same sites to replicate routes from previous years has received more and more attention as the possibilities of tracking small to medium-size birds over multiple annual cycles have improved. Repeated measurements of individuals with an appropriate sampling resolution can potentially inform about their navigation and migration strategies an

We have entered a 21st century where people, rather than uniting across borders and daring to feel an affinity with the other, bridging ethnic and national differences, are now increasingly vulnerable, exposed to fragmenting movements often set in motion by leaders driven by egocentric values and self-interests pursued at the expense of the well-being of minorities and those occupying a lower leve

Examensarbetet fokuserar på utformningen av ett boende för äldre och personer med demens, där naturens positiva inverkan på hälsa och välbefinnande har varit en central utgångspunkt. Projektet syftar till att skapa en miljö som främjar återhämtning, möjliggör utevistelse och social samvaro samt underlättar för både personal och anhöriga. Byggnaden är placerad i ett grönområde i Lund, i närhet til

This essay posits artistic and curatorial strategies as modes of social improvisation that operate in relation to social and political imaginaries. It considers compositional mechanisms of artistic work as models of intervention that bear the potential to produce critical instances of an ephemeral de-instituting. I seek to develop further the term “destituent spaces” as a model for current curator

Continuous experimentation (CE) is a software development approach where product decisions are data-driven. Large global internet-facing companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook apply the practice by leveraging their massive user bases to obtain high statistical significance in experimentation results. However, companies with smaller user bases, such as small- and medium-sized enterprises

Beginning What and Ending Away is Rosa Barba’s first solo exhibition in Korea. On view is a film installation, three kinetic sculptures using celluloid, a wax sculpture and works from her series entitled Weavers, panels of woven film.Rosa Barba’s practice merges films, sculptures, installations, live-performances, text pieces, and publications that are grounded in the material and conceptual quali

The internationally renowned, prize-winning filmmaker and sculptor, Rosa Barba (b. 1972) will be resident artist at the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden from September 2023 until February 2024. Together with researchers of TUD Dresden University of Technology, she will be conducting research on Artificial Intelligence (AI).The following question drives Rosa Barba: “How can we develop an alternative archiv

The Hidden Conference is a film in three parts. Each projection investigates the storage facilities of a European museum, where artworks are kept while not on display. About the Discontinuous History of Things We See and Don’t See, projected in the first room, was filmed at the stores of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin in 2010. About the Shelf and Mantel, shown in the following gallery, was sho

Mining Life: An Exploration in Three Acts into the Potential of Socially Engaged Art Practices to Instigate Social Change investigates the intersection of art, activism, and social change through three major artistic research projects. Emerging from a critical shift in my own artistic practice, this thesis questions the role of socially engaged art within post-colonial structures, challenging the
