Mikrobers snabba värmeanpassning Mikroorganismer i jorden reglerar kolcykeln genom att binda kol när de växer, samtidigt som de frigör kol under andra mikrobiella processer. Mikrobers aktivitet regleras till stor del av temperatur och ett föränderligt klimat kan mikrobers aktivitet påverkas. Tidigare studier har funnit att mikrobiella samhällen snabbt anpassar sig till högre temperaturer, samtidiSoil microorganisms sequester carbon through growth and release it into the atmosphere through respiration. Climate change predictions suggest that high latitude ecosystems will be particularly affected by rising temperatures, and temperature is one of the main environmental factors regulating microbial activity in soils. Thus, understanding how microbial activity will be affected in temperate eco

Från en cell till hel individ, protoplast regenerering. Växtförädling för att öka avkastningen av grödor har skett under lång tid. Numera används molekylära metoder för att påskynda processen av selektionen av gynnsamma egenskaper, så som resistans mot sjukdomar eller ohyra. Geneditering kan användas för att validera nya gener i tidigare framgångsrika kultivarer och möjligheten att regenerera en Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is a high value crop, grown mostly in temperate climate and is the source of 30% of the world’s sugar production. There is a high economic incentive to breed for better yielding crops, e.g genetic resistance against diseases. To investigate the effect of new genes in cultivar lines, genetically modified organisms (GMO) can be used but not commercially sold, according to

The introduction of the “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism” (CBAM) as part of the European Union Fit for 55 and Green Deal package, has evoked much political and academic debates. So far, these have mostly focused on its effectiveness in leveling the playing field for European industries and reducing the risk of carbon leakage. We contribute to this debate by analyzing the potential effects of a

Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. To conduct studies on the brain outside of the body, one can culture neural cells in the lab. However, to accura

Freshwater mussels play a crucial role as ecosystem engineers, contributing to various ecological functions, including nutrient recycling, biofiltration, and habitat modification. Both live mussels and their discarded shells also play integral roles in providing and enhancing habitats for other organisms by furnishing physical structure, stabilising sediments, and promoting bioturbation. This stud

Research on Anne Brontë’s novels, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, shows that she drew inspiration from various literary sources. Some reviewers and scholars have detected an affinity between Brontë’s and Jane Austen’s works but have not explored it in depth. I therefore close read Brontë’s novels and compare them to Austen’s, using Genette’s theory of transtextuality. Firstly, I discer

In 2023 an operator theoretic approach to the Prime Number Theorem was introduced by Olsen. In this thesis this approach is examined and applied to give a new, operator theoretic, proof of a different version of the Prime Number Theorem and of the Prime Number Theorem for arithmetic progressions. This approach is then expanded and rearranged to focus on the approximation error in the Prime Number

In recent years, the field of generating synthetic images from novel view points has seen some major improvements. Most importantly with the publication of Neural Radiance Fields allowing for extremely detailed and accurate 3D novel views. Usage of LiDAR products to collect actual depth data has also seen an increase as it is immensely useful for achieving high resolution 3D mapping of a space. Ho

This bachelor thesis is a delimitation criticism of part of the Eden Narrative, specifically Gen 2:18–3:21. The question explored is whether or not it is accurate to call Gen 2:23 and 3:14–19 poetic insertions in an otherwise prose text. It is argued that no, they cannot reasonably be argued as poetic exceptions – the text is poetic throughout. A recurring stylistic pattern tying large narrative u

De svenska kontorsmarknaderna i Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö har sett ökade vakansgrader under de senaste åren. En viktig faktor bakom detta är anställdas preferenser efter Covid-19-pandemin. Även om närvaron på kontoren har börjat öka igen, har utnyttjandegraden sjunkit i Sverige, och hyresgäster prioriterar nu sin hyresportfölj och ytoptimering för att spara kostnader. Vakans i kontorsbyggnaderThe Swedish office markets especially in the three major cities Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö have experienced increased vacancy rates in recent years. One key factor behind this is employees' preferences post the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite a gradual return to offices, the utilization rate has decreased in Sweden, prompting tenants to prioritize their lease portfolios and space optimization

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka kundresan på andrahandsmarknaden, där utbudet på hyllan i förväg är oklart för konsumenten. Var börjar den, hur går den till och vad händer efter ett köp av ett plagg - det ska denna studie undersöka. Frågeställning: Vad motiverar konsumenter att välja second-hand vid köp av klädesplagg? Metoden: Forskningen är baserad på en kvalitativ studie med Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the customer journey in the secondary market, where the supply on the shelf is unclear to the consumer in advance. Where does it start, how does it happen and what happens after a garment is purchased - this study will examine that. Thesis question: What motivates consumers to choose second-hand when buying clothing? Methodology: The research

Denna studie undersöker effekterna av social önskvärdhet på emotionell intelligens och dess implikationer för samband och prediktioner i relation till personlighetsfaktorerna i Big Five. Då båda konstrukten ofta uppskattas genom självskattningstest mottagliga för påverkan av social önskvärdhet, ämnar denna studie att undersöka huruvida mätinstrumenten för emotionell intelligens, TEIQue-SF och delaThis study investigates the effects of social desirability on emotional intelligence and its implications for the relationships and predictions regarding Big Five personality factors. Since both constructs are often estimated through self-report measures susceptible to social desirability, this research aimed to examine whether the TEIQue-SF and parts of the SSREIT measures of emotional intelligen

The geology of Vombsänkan is characterized by a complex sequence of Quaternary deposits overlying the Paleozoic sedimentary bedrock. The area is 759 km2 and has recorded several ice advances followed by glacial retreats and ice melting. The glacial history of Vombsänkan, which is controlled by sequential geological events such as active ice-margin and stagnant ice, formation of dead ice as well as

The newest Scottish government Biodiversity Strategy prioritises control of overabundant deer populations. Ecological theory and real-life instances suggest an unorthodox deer management solution: wolf reintroduction (WR). Theoretically, wolves would prey on deer, thus alleviate grazing pressure on Scottish vegetation and help landscapes thrive. A fenced, experimental WR (EWR) would verify whether

In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study. The research evaluated the SMT's applicability for c

This case study aims to answer how Swedish agriculture adapts to increased electricity prices, as well as the subsidy on electricity provided by the Swedish government in 2023. The study uses data from 10 interviews with firms in the sector and a microeconomic production theory for analysis. The results indicate that the total production of firms is not affected by the increased price. However, a

Frågeställning: Vilka krav på utdelning ställer aktieägarna på de kommunalt ägda energibolagen? Hur motiveras utdelning i kommunernas styrdokument? Hur transparent är informationen i styrdokumenten om motiven samt vad utdelningen används till? Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur kommuner motiverar utdelning inom kommunalt ägda energibolag samt hur transparent informationen är, för att bid

In 2023, the national care program for childhood obesity was published, which states that it is a complex disease and that obesity is a stigmatized condition in society. The aim of this study was therefore to explore and compare school counselors’ and school nurses’ perceptions of overweight and obesity within their professions in student health and to explore and compare both profession's con

The essay is an analysis of the intermediality of literature and music with an emphasis on music psychology and the poetic and cultural representations of the cello. The research is applied on Steven Galloway's ''The Cellist of Sarajevo'', in order to interpret the characters' experience of music and examine its therapeutic value.
