Recruitment of new individuals is essential for a population to survive and flourish and bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is on the decline in some parts of the Baltic Sea. The causes being multitude and complex, culminating to the loss of light penetration being the main culprit. As society moves forward, artificial submerged structures may serve as new footholds for a waning population as well a
Looking At Tumour Suppressor Genes Of A Tumour Resistant Species Salamanders like Pleurodeles waltl are tailed amphibians capable of regenerating complex structures like entire organs and limbs. Therefore, they are great models to study the process of regeneration. Regeneration involves cells of the injured tissue going through a lot of growth, division, and migration to reconstruct the original
Cracking the Code: Why Cancer Cells Struggle to Transform into Antigen-Presenting Dendritic Cells Since cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, the possibility of converting cancer cells into other cell types represents an interesting approach to fighting cancer. Transforming cancer cells into immune cells by reprogramming their cell identity into immune cells could be a smart way
Detektering och igenkänning av hjärtslag med radar och maskininlärning. Att använda sitt egna hjärtslag för att kunna identifiera sig med kommer helt och hållet förändra sättet vi ser på biometrisk identifiering. Med hjälp av en radar med millimeter-stora vågor kan vi idag mäta otroligt små avståndsförändringar, och tillsammans med maskininlärning kan vi använda detta för att mäta hjärtslagets uniPresence detectors based on different technologies have been around for many years now, with a constant expansion of situation implementations. In this thesis, an overview of the capabilities of different types of presence detectors has been done and the radar technology have been further investigated. A 60 GHz pulsed coherent radar has been used to measure the limits of the radar sensor’s distanc
Authors: Therese Johansson, Moa Sundelin Title: “It’s just sex, man” - A qualitative study concerning personal experiences from those who sell sex through the Internet. [translated title] Supervisor: Lars B Ohlsson Advertisement on the Internet is getting more frequent and the prostitution business is no exception. Selling sex is a much-debated subject in Sweden and it is a very polarizing debate
I samband med att företag drabbas av arbetsbrist aktualiseras arbetsgivarens skyldighet att utreda möjligheterna att erbjuda den eller de berörda arbetstagarna omplaceringar till andra befattningar i enlighet med 7 § 2 st. LAS. Denna omplaceringsskyldighet är tvingande oavsett företagets storlek och syftar till att så långt det går undvika friställningar av arbetstagare. Av lagtexten framgår att eWhen companies are suffering from labor shortages, the employer’s obligation to investigate the possibility of offering the affected employee or employees other positions in accordance with section 7 second paragraph is raised. This relocation obligation is mandatory regardless of the size of the company and aims to avoid employee layoffs as far as possible. It is clear from the legal text that a
Sedan år 2000 har 52% av företagen på Fortune-500 gått i konkurs på grund av bland annat ökad konkurrens och nya krav från kunder. Detta ställer större krav på hur företag arbetar med innovation som sägs vara en av de viktigaste faktorerna för företags framtida överlevnad. Dock visar det sig att omsätta teorin i praktiken är utmanande och inom forskningen saknas en enhetlig definition om vad innovThe average life expectancy for large companies on the fortune 500 list has declined rapidly since the 1950s. One major reason is the growing competition from new actors on the market. Innovation has become one of the most important competencies for companies to get ahead of the competition. The growing demand for companies to be innovative and at the same time operate their core business have dee
För att lösa dagens bostadsbrist utan att det sker på bekostnad av värdefull mark, satsar en övervägande del av de svenska kommunerna på förtätning. Den främsta fördelen med att bygga tätt är att det optimerar förutsättningarna för variation i serviceutbudet och leder till ett effektivare utnyttjande av infrastrukturen. Dock påstår många att nya bostäder i samband med förtätning skulle ge värdesänIn order to solve housing shortage while preserving valuable land, a majority of the Swedish municipalities are implementing densification as a planning strategy. Denser development provides better support for a variety of services and optimizes public transportation. Despite the several benefits, infill development is commonly claimed to lower nearby housing prices. Studies on whether new residen
Yttemperatur och interspecifika interaktioner påverkar sympatriska arters närvaro runt en hajdykningsbåt i Gansbaai, Sydafrika Rock- och hajpopulationer (Elasmobranchii) minskar drastiskt i de flesta hav på planeten och arter riskerar utdöende på grund av kommersiellt fiske och bifångst som dödar 100 miljoner hajar årligen. Ekoturism såsom hajdykning i bur förlitar sig på hållbara och hälsosamma Elasmobranch populations are decreasing rapidly worldwide due to anthropogenic exploitation such as commercial fishing, where targeted shark fisheries and accidental bycatches harvest more than 100 million sharks yearly. Ecotourism operations such as shark-cage diving operators strongly rely on sustainable and functioning ecosystems and wildlife in order to utilize these for tourism and educationa
Det finns idag nationella målsättningar om att öka andelen resor som genomförs med cykel och arbetet sker bland annat genom förbättrad infrastruktur. En del av infrastrukturen som idag anses vara bristfällig är cykelparkering vid bostaden, vilket somliga kommuner börjat reglera genom att ställa krav vid nybyggnation. Men trots att arbetet med frågan blir vanligare finns bristfällig kunskap kring bThere are national goals in Sweden for increasing the proportion of trips made by bicycle. Many believe that this partly can be achieved by improving bicycle infrastructure and recently parking facilities have been gaining more attention in bicycle planning. Most bicycle trips start or end at home and this is also the location where many bikes are parked a majority of the time. However, there is a
Papillomavirus, the leading cause of cervical cancer Papillomaviruses are family of viruses that infect mammals and their uncured infection can lead to cancer. In humans, they can cause as much as 5% of all the cancers worldwide. Even though some papillomavirus types can also cause warts on hands and feet that will clear on its own, some types, regarded as high-risk by specialists, can infect the
Att världen idag kan te sig ganska liten är inget att ta miste på. Det är betydligt lättare och kostar mindre att resa i förhållande till förr, vilket har bidragit till att många av oss i mycket större omfattning reser på semester eller i arbetet, och då stöter på - för oss - främmande och ibland komplicerade problem. Huvudregeln enligt svensk rätt är att bevis skall upptas vid förhandling, enliToday the world does not seem as large as we probably once thought. Many years ago traveling was difficult and quite expensive. Today it’s completely the opposite. All this convenience we experience has some consequences. During our travels and business endeavours with different parts of the world it is not surprising that we encounter problems. Since these problems are unfamiliar to us the proble
Syftet med denna uppsats är att granska de mest omdiskuterade för- och nackdelarna med nämndemannasystemet och utreda om systemet kan garantera en rättssäker prövning vid brottmålsprocessen i tingsrätten. För att nå syftet är en av mina frågeställningar hur nämnden uppkom och systemet fungerar idag. Exakt hur länge den svenska nämnden har existerat vet vi inte, men fenomenet finns nedtecknat i vårIn this thesis, I will examine the most discussed advantages and disadvantages with the lay judge system to investigate if the system can ensure that the criminal trial procedure in the district court live up to the high requirements of the rule of law. To achieve this I will answer a few questions. The first question discusses how the lay judge system emerged and how the system works today. Exac
Abstract Agricultural intensification is causing a worldwide loss in biodiversity, and organic farming has been proposed as a valid method for preserving it. Studies have shown that organic farming increases species abundances, however the taxonomic breadth of communities may be an additional important biodiversity measure which is not affected by study intensity or sample size. The aim of this s
Given the increasing interest in the association between exposure to air pollution and adverse health outcomes, the development of models that provide accurate spatio-temporal predictions of air pollution concentrations at small spatial scales is of great importance when assessing potential health effects of air pollution. The methodology presented here has been developed as part of the Multi-Ethn
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens övergripande syfte är att kritiskt studera interorganisatoriska samverkansprocesser och sammanhängande konsekvenser, med ett särskilt fokus på rättens och maktens betydelse. Analysen av det empiriska materialet, som speglar samverkan i en kontext av barnahus på sex orter i Sverige (samverkan under ett tak kring utredningar av misstänkta brott mot barn), The overarching objective of the dissertation is to study inter-organisational collaboration processes and their associated consequences in a critical manner, with particular emphasis on the importance of law and power. The analysis of the empirical material, reflecting collaboration in the context of Barnahus on six locations in Sweden (collaboration under one roof regarding investigations of s
Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which water use efficiency (WUE) at leaf scale can be used to assess WUE at canopy scale, leaf WUE being assumed to be a constant function of vapor pressure deficit and to thus not be dependent upon other environmental factors or varying leaf properties. Leaf WUE and its variability and dependencies were assessed using lea
Isoprene emission from Sphagnum species naturally growing at different positions above the water table were measured in a subarctic peatland and at monoliths from a temperate bog. Our objectives were to investigate (1) whether emission rates were species and/or moisture dependent, and (2) whether short-term temperature history had an influence on emission capacity. We expected greater emission cap
Land-use change is a major driver of the global loss of biodiversity, but it is unclear to what extent this also results in a loss of ecological traits. Therefore, a better understanding of how land-use change affects ecological traits is crucial for efforts to sustain functional diversity. To this end we tested whether higher species richness or taxonomic distinctness generally leads to increased
Tracking migratory movement of small animals with variable migration patterns is difficult with standard mark-recapture methods or genetic analysis. We used stable hydrogen isotope (delta D) measurements of wings from European red admirals Vanessa atalanta to study several aspects of this species' migration. In the central part of southern Europe we found large differences in delta D values betwee
