Ingrid Ylva och tornet i Bjälbo
No full textThe article discusses the background to the erection of the huge church tower in Bjälbo, Östergötland, Sweden. It also focuses on medieval women as founders of churches. The author maintains that new dendrochronological dating of the tower could mean that founder of this building piece was not one of the male members of the important Bjälbo dynasty, but Ingrid Ylva the mother of Birger Jarl
Ingrid Winterbach: Novelist (Interview)

The translation of her fourth novel, Karolina Ferreira (1993) as The Elusive Moth (2005), and subsequently, Niggie as To Hell with Cronjé (2007) and Die boek van toeval en toeverlaat (2006) as The Book of Happenstance (2008), have brought this author to the attention of a wider South African readership
Unraveling aquaculture-related stress in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) - Molecular responses and methodological insights
No full textAquaculture is a cornerstone of Norway’s food industry and offers sustainable solutions to meet the rising global demand for protein. As the sector grows, there is an increasing emphasis on fish welfare, not only for ethical reasons but also because of its importance for production outcomes. Stress is a key factor influencing welfare, as high levels of stress can translate into reduced growth, poor health, and disease outbreaks. Addressing these challenges requires a deeper understanding of aquaculture-related stress, including its causes, methods for detection, and strategies to minimize or avoid it.
This doctoral thesis investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying stress responses in Atlantic salmon, Norway’s most important aquaculture species. It explores various approaches to studying responses and potential indicators associated with farming-related stressors. Both field and laboratory studies are conducted to examine stress biomarkers at the gene and protein levels. This includes studying stress induced by operational events in a commercial setting, i.e. sea transfer and net pen cleaning, as well as early responses to infectious salmon anemia virus infection in cultured salmon cells. The research also introduces a practical and cost-effective lab method for visualizing stress responses in fish cell lines.
The findings shed light on how certain stressors affect salmon at a molecular level, and demonstrate the value of using diverse methods to unravel aquaculture-related stress. The research contributes to the ongoing understanding of the complex stress responses in Atlantic salmon, paving the way for improved farming practices, enhanced welfare, and ultimately, healthier and happier fish.
Norge er verdens største eksportør av atlantisk laks og spiller dermed en nøkkelrolle i produksjonen av bærekraftig mat globalt. I takt med at næringen vokser, legges det stadig større vekt på fiskevelferd. Stress er en viktig faktor som påvirker velferden hos oppdrettsfisk, ettersom høye stressnivåer kan føre til dårlig helse, redusert vekst og økt risiko for sykdom. Derfor er det avgjørende å utvikle en dypere forståelse av stress i oppdrettssammenheng—hva som forårsaker det, hvordan det kan måles, og hvordan det kan reduseres eller unngås.
I denne doktorgradsavhandlingen har jeg studert hvordan stress påvirker atlantisk laks på molekylært nivå. Både felt- og laboratoriestudier har blitt brukt for å undersøke potensielle stressmarkører på gen- og proteinnivå. Dette inkluderer studier av stress knyttet til operasjoner i kommersiell fiskeoppdrett (sjøoverføring og rengjøring av nøter), i tillegg til hvordan kultiverte lakseceller reagerer på infeksjoner med infeksiøs lakseanemivirus. Forskningen presenterer også en praktisk og kostnadseffektiv metode for å visualisere stressresponser i laboratoriedyrkede celler.
Funnene gir innsikt i hvordan ulike stressfaktorer påvirker laksen, og viser verdien av å bruke flere tilnærminger for å forstå stress i havbruk. Arbeidet styrker kunnskapen om stressmekanismer i atlantisk laks, med mål om å bidra til bedre oppdrettspraksis, bedre fiskevelferd og til syvende og sist: ekte gladlaks

No full textGlobal climate change is causing more extreme droughts, as well as subtler chronic changes in precipitation patterns. Both chronic and extreme precipitation change can alter ecosystem structure and function, and these alterations may affect how systems respond to future extreme climatic events. Understanding how legacies of various past precipitation changes may alter the effects of future extreme droughts will be important for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change. We investigated how ecological legacies of experimentally-imposed chronic and extreme precipitation changes altered the impact of an extreme drought on an economically-important grassland ecosystem.Top Scholars for University-Wide Graduate Programs
