In this article, we aim to identify and explore possibilities challenges of academic interdisciplinary capacities ethos. The objective is that knowledge could be used both in future research projects educational settings. We achieve through self-reflective learning processes among a group scholars from four distinctly different subjects. method an autoethnographic empirical approach data collection, analysis deconstruction professional processes. This also serves establish methodological...
Transdisciplinary research and collaboration is widely acknowledged as a critical success factor for solution-oriented approaches that can tackle complex sustainability challenges, such biodiversity loss, pollution, climate-related hazards. In this context, city governments' engagement in transdisciplinarity generally seen key condition societal transformation towards sustainability. However, empirical evidence rare. This paper presents self-assessment of joint project on ecosystem services...
A depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer would result in an increased UV‐B radiation, which could have harmful effects on marine organisms. The aim this study was to determine enhanced radiation (280–320 nin) motility and growth four Swedish phytoplanklon species. different plankton species were exposed doses during growth. motile dinoflagellates, Gyronidium aureolum Hulburt (Ba 6), Prorocentrum minimum (Pav.) P. Schiller 12), more sensitive than non‐motile diatoms Dityhim brightwellii...
While ecosystem-based planning approaches are increasingly promoted through international and national policies, municipalities still struggling with translating them into practice. Against this background, paper aims to increase the knowledge of current advances possible ways support implementation ecosystem services (ES) approach at municipal level. More specifically, we analyze how ES have been integrated comprehensive within municipality Malmö in Sweden over last 60 years, a declared...
Abstract The sub-Saharan cities are growing and changing due to immigration modernization. One of the consequences current urbanization is that an increasing number families residing in peri-urban areas small rural towns lack access basic municipal ecosystem services. purpose paper demonstrate impacts expansion on services provided by governments ecosystems through a case study town called Makhado Biaba Limpopo Province South Africa. has been experiencing incessant rapid physical over years....

DOI: 10.2216/08-45.1.Ecotypes of from the Norwegian Sea (34 psu, ecotype) Bothnian (5 have been compared with respect to ability withstand desiccation at different temperatures (0, 10, 20°C). The aim was also investigate importance light for availably energy reserves, osmotic adjustment, pigment content. maximum quantum yield...
Abstract Research to date on urban ecosystem services has mainly been conducted in large cities, particularly China, the USA and some European countries. This study examined provision of a Swedish municipality context, based interviews with municipal stakeholders strategic management planning from six municipalities review existing publications readily available practitioners. The analysis focused (1) explicitly covered, (2) whether multifunctionality was covered specific synergies...
The phototactic orientation in Gyrodinium dorsum and G. aureolum has been analyzed. Both species show only positive phototaxis with an optimum at about 300 W-m−2. mechanism of photoorientation does not seem to be based on a dichroic the photoreceptor pigments as flagellate Euglena gracilis. Photobleaching experiments have shown far higher resistance toward continuous irradiation even high fluence rates than other flagellates which is good agreement exclusive behavior phototaxis.
Higher education institutions (HEIs) have a pivotal role in fulfilling the social dimension of sustainability and contributing to complex changing society. To meet these challenges, Malmö University has interdisciplinary groups researched challenge-based learning (CBL) relation staff, students, disciplines, stakeholders. This position paper is based on that work. argues with CBL approach, HEIs will actively contribute building sustainable society through collaboration education, research,...
Abstract— From light‐induced changes in linear dichroism, we have calculated the rotation of long‐wavelength‐absorbing transition moment that occurs during phototransformation 124‐kilodalton Avena sativa phytochrome. Phytochrome was purified to homogeneity and immobilized onto Sepharose beads covalently coated with antibodies against A. Changes dichroism were induced by plane‐polarized red or far‐red light measured absorbance differences at 660 730 nm using a dual‐wavelength...
We investigated the effect of ultraviolet‐B radiation (280–320 nm) on growth and motility marine dinoflagellate Gyrodinium aureolum in presence humic substances. The specific rate after 7 d UV‐B BE (biologically effective radiation) exposure (2.15 kJ m −2 −1 ) decreased by 92% compared to control. for treated cells increased 18, 26, 10% when were cultured medium enriched with substances (1.7, 4.2, 8.3 mg liter ). However, was lower at highest substance than two concentrations. When used as a...
