  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 ...

• Mutagenesis in wheat: An approach to make saline green! 

  Lethin, Johanna (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 ...

• Parasite host interaction between the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) – the impact from glochidia larvae on the host 

  Wengström, Niklas (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 ...

• Effects of mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals – Thyroid disruption and behavioural effects in fish models 

  Birgersson, Lina (2022-01-07)

  Wildlife and humans are continuously exposed to thousands of man-made compounds, including chemicals that are able to act as endocrine disruptors (EDCs). These pollutants are able to affect vital processes including brain ...

• Cardiorespiratory function of euryhaline teleosts - Regulatory mechanisms, effects of warming and costs of osmoregulation 

  Daniel, Morgenroth (2021-11-26)

  Teleost fishes have colonized almost every aquatic habitat on earth and exhibit adaptations that allow them to thrive in environments with very diverse physico-chemical properties. One fundamental environmental variable ...

• Effects of carbon dioxide and ozone on wheat crop yield and grain quality 

  Malin, Broberg (2021-10-05)

  Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) have steadily increased since the industrial revolution. CO2 and O3 directly affect plant physiology, CO2 being an essential substrate for photosynthesis, ...
