Relationen mellan bytesdjur och rovdjur i forntida ekosystem kan rekonstrueras med hjälp av olika fossil som t.ex. kololiter, det vill säga förstenat mag- och tarminnehåll. Mosasaurier (familjen Mosasauridae) är en grupp marina ödlor med världsvid utbredning under sen krittid. De var generellt opportunistiska i sina födoval, men några arter som specialiserat sig på skalförsedda djur förekommer ockRelationships between prey and predator in ancient ecosystems can be reconstructed by interpreting fossil remains such as kololites (fossilized stomach and intestinal contents). They function as a direct evidence of food ingested and thus provide insights into the diet and digestive system of extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a cosmopolitan group of extinct marine lizards that e

Deep ecology and ecological modernisation are two theories with different views on environmental problems and different strategies to cope with environmental degradation. This thesis has examined standpoints presented by two of Sweden’s parliamentary parties, Miljöpartiet and Centerpartiet, to see whether their environmental policies best can be described through a deep ecology or ecological moder

This paper empirically investigates explanations to the gender wage gap in urban Nicaragua for 2005 and 2009. For this task, using data from the EMNV survey, we applied an Oaxaca-Blinder (1973) decomposition (standard and correcting for selection bias) of the mean wage and the novel Recentered Influence Function (RIF) regression method introduced by Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (2009) for the wage d

The focus lies specifically on parts of Charles Dickens’s literary production as several early as well as contemporary critics, such as G.K. Chesterton and Andrzej Diniejko, have ascribed his works a rather critical position in the representat

Abortion has long existed in our society and in our history. It has long been prohibited and it has been legal I Sweden since 1934 under the circumstances that the mother’s life was threatened. It took until 1975 to become legal under all circumstances until pregnancy week eighteen. Even if abortion today has been long legal there still exists a stigma around it. My purpose with this study is to

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Jonledning i Bränsleceller Jonkonduktivitet, eller jonledning, är viktigt i bl.a. bränsleceller. Bränsleceller använder sig av ett oxidationsmedel (oftast syrgas) och bränsle precis som andra förbränningskällor. Till skillnad från motorer som förbränner högenergetiskt bränsle med låg effektivitet och vanliga batterier som använder metaller med låg effektivitet kaIonic conductors have seen increased use over time. These are found in ion detectors, gas detectors and supercapacitors but finds special use in fuel cells and solar cells. Some ionic conductors are not only used as a conductor, but finds uses as insulators, ceramic blades or even as a diamond simulant. Most other works no ionic conductors concentrate on the general or macroscopic properties. Here

The purpose of this study was to examine the coverage of gender, environment and development (GED) issues in the Indian English-language newspapers.

The newsworthiness of GED has been examined by use of a frequency analysis. Some key concepts in the study of gender

After the fall of communism in Yugoslavia the ethnic resentment grew stronger and escalated in to interethnic civil conflict in 1992. After international intervention the General Framework Agreement for Peace (GFAP) installed peace in 1995. The treaty's aim was not only to establish peace but also to institute democracy in Bosnia. The OSCE were given the task to implement democracy within poli

Numerous post-conflict states in contemporary Africa are run by individuals who derive their origins from rebellion. Some take over or even improve existing state structures when seizing power, whereas others contribute to the fragmentation of the state. By comparing four insurgent movements that have managed to wrest state power; the NRA, the EPLF, the NPFL, and the USC, this study finds that soc

My study is about how parents talk to their children about alcohol. The purpose of my study was to study how young teenagers communicate with their parents about alcohol. I also wanted to find out if parents have any influence over their children's choice of drinking.

Vanessa Beasley, on the other hand, has argued that the constant references to the superiority of the American nation in the rhetoric of its presidents have been required in order to keep the extremely diversified nation together.
