Silicon based device for smart assessment of cellular stiffness
No full textCellular stiffness plays an important role for several diseases such as atherosclerosis, malaria and cancer. Cellular stiffness can be derived by the velocity of a cell that is squeezed through a constriction channel. For example, a rigid cell will move slowly through the constriction channel and vice versa. In this research a microfluidic device with integrated electrodes was fabricated to detect the cell within the constriction channel. The velocity of the cell can be measured if the cell is detected at two different location. In this thesis the fabrication process of the device based on standard IC process is presented and electrically characterized.Electrical Engineering | Microelectronic
(re)framing the narrative: Storytelling otherwise for a just forest economy in Kampala's city region
No full textKampala is the heartbeat of Uganda’s economy and has driven rural-urban migration over the years as people travel in search of better opportunities (Namwanje, 2022). This has led to rapid urbanisation and unprecedented growth of the informal sector that extends beyond the geographical confines of the city. Rural areas, acting as spatial extensions of the city, have served as productive landscapes, supporting Kampala’s bustling informal economy and the livelihoods of city dwellers. Over the years, large expanses of uncultivated land in rural areas and natural forests in some cases, have been replaced with monocultural commercial forests causing socio-ecological degradation in Kampala’s city region. While studying past and current trends in Uganda’s forest governance, as well as the socio-cultural relations between people and forests, the study brings to light the social and epistemic injustices of past and current exclusionary forestry policies and practices. Storytelling is used not only as an investigative tool to understand the lives of the Batwa indigenous forest peoples, but also as an approach to document local knowledges and envision an alternative future outside the realm of western technocratic approaches. Counter-storytelling operates as activism, transcending oppression while fostering emanicipation and transformation of the Batwa people. In so doing, the project seeks to achieve self-determination for a just forest economy in Kampala’s city region.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Complex Citie
