Comparison of nestling diet between first and second broods of great tits Parus major in urban and forest habitats. To understand why early broods tend to be more successful than late broods we investigated the nestling diet and reproductive success of great tit pairs that had both a first and a second brood in the same breeding season. We found that in forest habitats great tit parents delivered
Ensuring that the existing social inequalities of the current energy system are not transferred to the new system is crucial for the transition towards a low-carbon economy. This is the domain of energy justice—a normative and evaluative framework that has been applied extensively throughout the past decade for understanding the perspective of disadvantaged energy users. However, less attention ha
In this paper, we take a fresh look at the determination of the transition matrix for a homogeneous, biisotropic particle employing the Null-field approach. The condition for passivity of the material is discussed. In particular, we focus on some previously unproved properties of the Beltrami spherical vector waves, such as completeness, orthogonality, and linear independence, which are all instru
This thesis attempts to describe how Right-Wing Populist Parties (RWPPs) adapt their populist rhetoric after reaching power. This research takes the case of Italy, where two RWPPs – Fratelli d’Italia (FdI) and Lega – formed a coalition government with the mainstream party Forza Italia after their alliance won the 2022 legislative elections. Through the holistic grading (a form of content analysis)
The aim of this study is to investigate what causes the electoral success of different subtypes of populism through the ideational approach. Through a case study of Spain, the thesis examines the demand-side and supply-side factors that, together, favour the emergence of populist parties. In doing so, the thesis combines process-tracing method with quantitative data, providing a context-specific u
Research question: How do employees at call centres perceive algorithmic management? Purpose: This study aims to provide insights into how employees in a call centre perceive algorithmic management. Methodology: The study employed a qualitative research method, incorporating interviews with a relativist and social constructionist perspective, to fulfill its purpose and address the research questio
Entrepreneurship within Information and Communications Technology as a research area has been greatly researched in terms of access to society. Two examples are governance and accessibility. However, little research has been conducted about the perceptions of starting an enterprise within two different countries and how regulatory institutions influence entrepreneurs. This thesis aims for an under
The removal of micropollutants from municipal wastewater is challenged by the number of compounds with diverse physico-chemical properties. Ozonation is increasingly used to remove micropollutants from wastewater. However, ozonation does not necessarily result in complete mineralization of the organic micropollutants but rather transforms them into new compounds which could be persistent or have a
CERN operates one of the most complex particle accelerator facilities in the world. Several different hazards, including fires, are present and need to be investigated and reduced to a tolerable level. Toward this goal, CERN aims at developing a catalog containing detailed fire dynamics descriptions of combustible items present in its facilities. This paper contributes to this catalog in two ways.
(“Dissolved organic carbon leaching flux in a mixed agriculture and forest watershed in Rwanda” [1]). This article presents data of leached dissolved organic carbon (LDOC), stream water dissolved organic carbon), rainfall amount (Ra), rainfall intensity (Ri), rainfall soil storage (S), runoff (Q), and soil properties such as total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), cation exchange capacity
The mechanisms underlying M. fortuitum-induced pathogenesis remains elusive. Using headkidney macrophages (HKM) from Clarias gariepinus, we report that TLR-2-mediated internalization of M. fortuitum is imperative to the induction of pathogenic effects. Inhibiting TLR-2 signalling alleviated HKM apoptosis, thereby favouring bacterial survival. Additionally, TLR-2-mediated cytosolic calcium (Ca2+)c
Recent studies have revealed effects of various tree species on soil physical and chemical properties. However, effects of various tree species on composition and activity of soil microbiota and the relevant controls remain poorly understood. We evaluated the influence of tree species associated with two different mycorrhizal types, ectomycorrhiza (EcM) and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), on growth, b
BACKGROUND: A comprehensive overview of treatments of common fractures is missing, although it would be important for shared decision-making in clinical practice. The aim was to determine benefits and harms of surgical compared to non-surgical treatments for traumatic skeletal fractures. METHODS: We searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and CENTRAL until November 2018, for randomized t
To keep their functional properties, it is crucial that protein aggregates maintain their structure after spray drying and that the powders can be fully rehydrated. In this study, microgels and fractal aggregates were prepared by heating a mixture of milk serum protein concentrate and lactose (40/60; %, w/w) at 85 °C for 15 min by varying the pH. Various fractions of native proteins were added to
Currently, policy makers in Sweden are considering updating building regulations with respect to daylight provision. Given this context, the present paper aims to provide insight on the level of compliance of residential spaces when tested against five daylight performance criteria. These included the criterion currently in force in Sweden, the two performance criteria set by European Standard EN1
Background: Joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is usually evaluated by radiographs of both hands and feet, while the inflammatory status mostly is evaluated by DAS28 which, however, does not include the feet. Objectives: To investigate the distribution of erosions in hands and feet in early RA over 8 years and its potential clinical implications. Furthermore, the group of patients neve
Non proliferation is an issue of the utmost importance. It might seem that it is an issue more at home in the era of the cold war, however it is very much an issue of the 21th century. Countries like North Korea have not just pursued a policy of acquiring nuclear weapons but succeeded. How to best prevent countries from developing nuclear weapons is a question with no good answer. In the case of N
Denna studie undersöker hur syriska och ukrainska flyktingar är representerade i svensk media. Frågorna som ställs är hur medias representation av flyktingar 2015 och 2022 skiljer sig åt, och i vilken utsträckning de representeras som individer med mänskliga rättigheter. Studien använder sig av tryckta nyhetsartiklar publicerade av den svenska nyhetstidningen Aftonbladet under de två tidsperiodernThis study examines the ways Syrian and Ukrainian refugees are represented in Swedish media. The questions posed are how media’s representation of refugees in 2015 and 2022 differentiate, and to what extent they are represented as subjects of human rights. The study makes use of printed news articles published by the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet during the two time periods. The theoretical framew
This thesis examines the Technical and Vocational Education and Training(TVET) related contents (including legal instruments and other guidance) from human rights bodies,ILO and UNESCO these three international bodies and also from China this national context. It analyzes the related legal frameworks of TVET from those sources and assesses their impacts in the national level, finally concludes the
