Almost all species face some degree of predation risk, and, hence, evolution has produced a plethora of anti-predator defences. However, anti-predator strategies require resources, and the prevailing risk of becoming prey is influenced by many factors and rarely constant across time and space. Evolution has therefore favoured the development of phenotypic plasticity in anti-predator defences.

Biotechnology and genetic engineering raise a number of new ethical problems. Consequently, over the past 15 years, several European countries, including the Nordic countries, have passed new laws in an attempt to deal with the ethical problems posed by biotechnology. These developments raise the question of how to formulate legislation to regulate both the technical and ethical aspects of biotech

This paper investigates the challenges of gender mainstreaming in Swedish municipalities, with a focus on the initial implementation. Since the mid-1990s, gender mainstreaming has been the prevailing strategy within Swedish authorities and public administration to increase gender equality in society.

In the developing process of medical devices three perspectives have to be considered; the users, the producers and the regulatory, still the user perspective is of special importance for the success of a product. At the same time possibilities are gradually reduced for medical technology companies to obtain new external ideas, mainly caused by the increased technical content of today’s medical de

This thesis analyzes the workings of the natural resource curse in Bolivia through a comparison between two periods with different institutional conditions and under dependency on tin and natural gas respectively. First the conditions for handling the resource curse are analyzed and a hypothesis is presented, suggesting that both periods are likely to have suffered from the natural resource curse

An increasing number of disasters continue to affect urban populations and housing infrastructure. The overwhelming majority of them have been caused by climate-related events. This situation has made the creation of synergies between climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk management (DRM) urgent. Despite the recognised need to unite CCA and DRM efforts, the fields remain separate. Furt

There are different rules and laws which companies and industries in a society must follow. Steps to comply with one law or rule may reduce the ability to comply with another. A sector where such a conflict could occur is in aviation, where the reduction of environmental and safety risks may be in conflict with each other. To meet the security requirements of an airport during the winter season wh

The negative effects of transport in terms of pollution, congestion and climate change has urged the need for higher shares of cleaner and more efficient modes of transport, especially in urban settings. While new technologycan solve some of these issues, behaviour changes has also been identified as an important factor to achieve a modal shift from cars to walking, cycling or public transport. Th

Popular Abstract in English Nanotechnology is a quickly developing field, which applies objects of extremely small sizes to novel technological applications. These objects, so-called nanomaterials, have at least one dimension measured in nanometers, 10-9 meters. Nanoparticles are of interest to chemists due to their distinct properties, which differ significantly from the bulk material. This uniquTitanium dioxide and related oxide materials have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. Nanocrystalline particles were modelled by a finite cluster approach. The studies focus on the characterization of structural and electronic properties of TiO2 and related group-IV materials (SiO2, GeO2, SnO2), as well as, interactions on their surfaces. A set of bare cluster models o

The study investigates employees' perceptions of trust within the Swedish Police and the Swedish Armed Forces. Trust is critical for organisational success, yet there is a lack of research comparing different dimensions of trust within these public sectors. This topic is particularly relevant given the rising threats to Sweden's national security, resulting in military rearmament and incre

Imagine a house situated on 2 600 meters above sea level in the Himalayan mountain range. It is in the middle of January and – 2 degrees Celsius inside. The only source of additional heat you have access to is lighting an open fire or firing in the cooking stove, both of which you fuel with some kind of solid biomass such as wood or agricultural waste. The fire is intensifying, you begin to feel t

In the last years the use of information communication technologies (ICTs) has become a leading driver of OECD national health systems to improve healthcare quality and reduce healthcare costs (Oecd, 2010). In fact, the use of ICTs are a primary lever of OECD countries to enhance the efficiency and the effectiveness of health services delivered to the citizens. This has led the Italian government
