Abstract:
Bioassay guided fractionation of a crude extract of the marine sponge Neopetrosia exigua resulted in the first reported isolation of exiguamines A and B. These pyrroloquinone alkaloids have an unprecedented hexacyclic skeleton that has not been previously encountered in natural products. Biological studies have identified exiguamine A as a potent in vitro inhibitor of the enzyme indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). IDO is an enzyme expressed by tumor cells to evade the immune system. Inhibitors against this enzyme may allow the immune system to attack cancer cells, making this enzyme a potential drug target for anti-cancer agents. Investigation of the crude extract of a Bacillus sp. collected in Dominica led to the isolation of the known diketopiperazine cyclo(S-Val-S-Phe) (3.9). In vitro biological studies revealed that cyclo(S-Val-S-Phe) is able to promote neurite outgrowth, even in the presence of physiological inhibitors. In vivo studies have shown that cyclo(S-VaI-S-Phe) is able promote sprouting in serotonergic and adrenergic axons. Synthesis of the other three diastereomers led to the discovery that cyclo(R-Val-R-Phe) is also an in vitro activator of axonal outgrowth. Inhibitors of the G2 checkpoint are able to increase the cytotoxicity of DNA damaging chemotherapeutics. Bioassay guided fractionation of an extract of the South American plant Duguetia odorata led to the isolation of the G2 checkpoint abrogator, oliveroline. This investigation also led to the isolation of the previously unreported alkaloid N-methylguatterine, and the known alkaloids dehydrodiscretine and pseudopalmatine. Chemical investigation of the marine sponge Myrmekioderma granulatum led to the isolation of the new compounds abolenone and myrmekioside C, as well as the known compounds curcudiol, curcuphenol, abolene and sesquiterpenoid. Biological studies of these compounds revealed that curcudiol is a ligand of the sex hormone-binding globulin. This protein is involved in transporting and regulating the concentration of steroids such as testosterone and estradiol. Many pathological conditions have a lower plasma concentration of these steroids. Ligands to SHBG can release steroids into the blood, so this protein is a potential drug target to treat conditions where a hormone insufficiency is present.

Abstract:
Els problemes de sostenibilitat ambiental, com el canvi climàtic, solen ser d'escala mundial però necessàriament locals i materials en les seves manifestacions. No obstant això, la literatura sobre sostenibilitat i gestió ha prestat poca atenció a com l'entorn natural afecta les organitzacions i les seves operacions. Un punt de vista emergent en la literatura sobre sostenibilitat retrata les organitzacions com incorporades a la natura i permet una mirada més profunda a les interrelacions locals entre les organitzacions i l'entorn natural que les envolta. Aquesta tesi doctoral adopta aquesta perspectiva per comprendre millor com les organitzacions i els seus membres entenen i interpreten l'entorn natural en què estan immerses, i com aquestes interpretacions donen forma a les pràctiques organitzatives. Per a això, s'apliquen metodologies d'investigació qualitatives i quantitatives per examinar fins a quin punt i com l'experiència directa dels fenòmens naturals, com els efectes del canvi climàtic o les catàstrofes naturals, afecta les respostes i resultats de les organitzacions. Un primer estudi de mètodes mixtes sobre productors de cacau al Brasil explora com els responsables de la presa de decisions en contextos vulnerables experimenten les conseqüències del canvi climàtic i com els seus diferents interpretacions donen forma a les respostes adaptatives organitzatives. Aquest estudi se centra en les respostes organitzatives immediates als fenòmens naturals adversos. Un segon estudi investiga empíricament els efectes a llarg termini de l'experiència dels fenòmens naturals en els resultats organitzatius. Basant-se en l'anàlisi de dades quantitatives sobre empreses japoneses en el context del Gran Terratrèmol de l'Est del Japó, aquest estudi proposa el concepte de creixement posttraumàtic organitzatiu per captar el canvi emergent en els valors organitzatius i la capacitat de resposta a les necessitats socials després del desastre natural. Aquests estudis se centren en les interrelacions locals entre les organitzacions i l'entorn natural en què estan immerses. Si bé aquest enfocament contribueix a la creixent literatura sobre les organitzacions i l'entorn natural, també implica el risc de perdre en la infinitat d'especificitats i interpretacions que caracteritzen a cada context i que s'han d'integrar amb l'escala global de les qüestions de sostenibilitat. Conciliar l'escala local i la global, necessàries per abordar aquests reptes de sostenibilitat, no és gens trivial. Per això, un tercer estudi pretén fer una contribució teòrica a les tensions que sorgeixen entre l'aplicació local de pràctiques sostenibles i la necessitat de coordinació global en el context de les normes voluntàries de sostenibilitat. En conjunt, els tres estudis d'aquesta tesi doctoral pretenen contribuir en la interrelació local entre les organitzacions i el sistema natural en què estan immerses, per entendre com les interpretacions organitzatives dels fenòmens naturals locals afecten les organitzacions i com poden abordar eficaçment les tensions entre els nivells local i global. Els principals arguments es basen tant en la teoria com en les proves empíriques, de manera que s'ofereix un enfocament metodològic global apte per a fer aportacions substancials a l'estudi de les organitzacions i la natura.
Los problemas de sostenibilidad ambiental, como el cambio climático, suelen ser de escala mundial pero necesariamente locales y materiales en sus manifestaciones. Sin embargo, la literatura sobre sostenibilidad y gestión ha prestado poca atención a cómo el entorno natural afecta a las organizaciones y sus operaciones. Un punto de vista emergente en la literatura sobre sostenibilidad retrata a las organizaciones como incorporadas a la naturaleza y permite una mirada más profunda a las interrelaciones locales entre las organizaciones y el entorno natural que las rodea. Esta tesis doctoral adopta esta perspectiva para comprender mejor cómo las organizaciones y sus miembros entienden e interpretan el entorno natural en el que están inmersas, y cómo estas interpretaciones dan forma a las prácticas organizativas. Para ello, se aplican metodologías de investigación cualitativas y cuantitativas para examinar hasta qué punto y cómo la experiencia directa de los fenómenos naturales, como los efectos del cambio climático o las catástrofes naturales, afecta a las respuestas y resultados de las organizaciones. Un primer estudio de métodos mixtos sobre productores de cacao en Brasil explora cómo los responsables de la toma de decisiones en contextos vulnerables experimentan las consecuencias del cambio climático y cómo sus diferentes interpretaciones dan forma a las respuestas adaptativas organizativas. Este estudio se centra en las respuestas organizativas inmediatas a los fenómenos naturales adversos. Un segundo estudio investiga empíricamente los efectos a largo plazo de la experiencia de los fenómenos naturales en los resultados organizativos. Basándose en el análisis de datos cuantitativos sobre empresas japonesas en el contexto del Gran Terremoto del Este de Japón, este estudio propone el concepto de crecimiento postraumático organizativo para captar el cambio emergente en los valores organizativos y la capacidad de respuesta a las necesidades sociales tras el desastre natural. Estos estudios se centran en las interrelaciones locales entre las organizaciones y el entorno natural en el que están inmersas. Si bien este enfoque contribuye a la creciente literatura sobre las organizaciones y el entorno natural, también implica el riesgo de perderse en la infinidad de especificidades e interpretaciones que caracterizan a cada contexto y que deben integrarse con la escala global de las cuestiones de sostenibilidad. Conciliar la escala local y la global, necesarias para abordar estos retos de sostenibilidad, no es nada trivial. Por ello, un tercer estudio pretende hacer una contribución teórica a las tensiones que surgen entre la aplicación local de prácticas sostenibles y la necesidad de coordinación global en el contexto de las normas voluntarias de sostenibilidad. En conjunto, los tres estudios de esta tesis doctoral pretenden contribuir en la interrelación local entre las organizaciones y el sistema natural en el que están inmersas, para entender cómo las interpretaciones organizativas de los fenómenos naturales locales afectan a las organizaciones y cómo pueden abordarse eficazmente las tensiones entre los niveles local y global. Los principales argumentos se basan tanto en la teoría como en las pruebas empíricas, con lo que se ofrece un enfoque metodológico global apto para realizar aportaciones sustanciales al estudio de las organizaciones y la natura.
Environmental sustainability issues, such as climate change, are often global in scale but necessarily local and material in their manifestations. Yet the sustainability and the management literature has paid little attention to how the natural environment affects organizations and their operations. A burgeoning view in the sustainability literature portrays organizations as embedded in nature and allows for a deeper look at the local interrelations between organizations and the surrounding natural environment. This Ph.D. thesis adopts this perspective to provide a better understanding of how organizations and their members understand and interpret the natural environment in which they are embedded, and how these interpretations shape organizational practices. To that purpose, qualitative and quantitative research methodologies are applied to examine to what extent and how the direct experience of natural phenomena, such as climate change effects or natural disasters, affects organizational responses and outcomes. A first mixed-methods study of cocoa producers in Brazil explores how decision makers in vulnerable contexts experience the consequences of climate change and how their different interpretations shape organizational adaptive responses. This study focuses on the immediate organizational responses to adverse natural phenomena. A second study empirically investigates the long-term effects of experiencing natural phenomena on the organizational outcomes. Based on analyzing quantitative data on Japanese companies in the context of the Great East Japan Earthquake, this study proposes the concept of organizational post-traumatic growth to capture the emerging change in organizational values and responsiveness to social needs following the natural disaster. These studies hone in on local interrelations between organizations and the natural environment in which they are embedded. While this approach contributes to the burgeoning literature on organizations and the natural environment, it also implies a risk to get lost in the myriad of specificities and interpretations that characterize each context and that need to be integrated with the global scale of sustainability issues. Reconciling the local and global scale that are both required to address these sustainability challenges is far from trivial. Therefore, a third study aims to make a theoretical contribution to the tensions emerging between the local implementation of sustainable practices and the need for global coordination in the context of voluntary sustainability standards. Together, the three studies of this Ph.D. thesis aim to delve into the local interrelation between organizations and the natural system in which they are embedded, to understand how organizational interpretations of local natural phenomena affect organizations and how tensions between local and the global levels can be effectively addressed. The main arguments are grounded in both theory and empirical evidence, thereby providing a comprehensive methodological approach apt to make substantial contributions to the study of organizations and the natural environment.

Abstract:
Mitt arbete blir från en eko filosofisk synvinkel, och den konsthantverkbaserade scenografin som kommer skapas är baserad på vår/min syn på relation mellan naturen och människan. Många har tankar om just detta, det känns angeläget att kunna skapa en miljö där detta finns som en underton och att skapa en subtil miljö där jag jobbar med det taktila arbete, - evighetsarbeten, baserade på mitt eget formspråk. Jag vill utforska minatankar och undersöka hur jag kan betrakta och visa detta från olika vinklar.Ett ställe där natur och av människan skapade objekt samspelar, men där naturenblir styrd av objektens väggar, blommor kan tränga sig igenom kompakta materialsom asfalt och nerbrytningsprocessen är en oändlig del av detta. Med dessa flaskor vill jag visa hur naturen fångas in i ett bestämt element och lever av det som serveras den.

Ce texte accompagne mon exposition finale, ma pratique, mon projet. Je l’ai conçu ainsi comme partie intégrante du tout, mais sa lecture seule sans accès au reste pourrait aussi être considérée dans le cas où l’un ou plusieurs des aspects particuliers de celui-ci intéressentle lecteur. Notons aussi l’importance des figures qui témoignent justement de ce qui ne sera pas décrit, mais qui vont naturellement dans le même sens que ce qui l’est. La méthodologie générale est de présenter l’universel duquel le mécanisme et l’existence du particulier peuvent être compris et interprétés.Il sera question ici de définir le champ et mode d’action de l’art et de la philosophiede ma pratique, depréciser la vie de l’artiste en tant que projet ainsi quede proposer l’art en tant que décor. L’ensemble vise à être reçucomme un questionnement, une recherche, une tentative de compréhension et d’expression de notre nature humaine.Celle-ciest interprétéede deux façons; premièrement comme ce qui fait la spécificité de l’humain et deuxièmement par le paradoxe de la création d’une nature qui serait proprement humaine.

Abstract:
While art can be an intensification of perception, this nature center recognizes the presence of nature through symbiotic connotations of its primordial elements as architectural form. Deepened experiences of both nature and architecture are to be achieved through a clarified ordering of architectonic elements and their relationship to each other, nature, and humanity.

Abstract:
During last decade, the nature has inspired researchers to develop new algorithms [1, 2, 3]. The largest collection of nature-inspired algorithms is biology-inspired: swarm intelligence (particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, cuckoo search, bees algorithm, bat algorithm, firefly algorithm etc.), genetic and evolutionary strategies, artificial immune systems etc. As well-known examples, the following have to be mentioned: aircraft wing design, wind turbine design, bionic car, bullet train, optimal decisions related to traffic, appropriate strategies to survive under a well-adapted immune system etc. Based on collective social behavior of organisms, researchers had developed optimization strategies taking into account not only the individuals, but also groups and environment [1]. However, learning from nature, new classes of approaches can be identified, tested and compared against already available algorithms. After a short introduction, this work review the most effective, according to their performance, nature-inspired algorithms, in the second section. The third section is dedicated to learning strategies based on nature oriented thinking. Examples and the benefits obtained from applying nature-inspired strategies in problem solving are given in the fourth section. Concluding remarks are given in the final section. References 1. G.
