Detta är den sjätte årsrapporten från Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning, ett nationelltmiljöövervakningsprogram som koordineras av Lunds universitet på uppdrag avNaturvårdsverket sedan 2010. Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning är ett samarbete mellan Sveriges Entomologiska Förening, Naturvårdsverket, Lunds universitet, Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet och Länsstyrelserna. Verksamheten möjliggörs av frivilliga laThis is the sixth annual report of the Swedish Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, a national monitoring programme coordinated by Lund University for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency since 2010. The programme is a partnership between the Entomological Society of Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Lund University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Swedish

This thesis deals with epitaxial growth and optical properties of semiconductor nanowires with implications and insights about materials for solar cells. The chapters leading up to the papers give a broader background and an introduction to the field and include nanowires and their synthesis, semiconductor properties, solar cell operational principles, light interaction with a nanowire array, and

CONTEXT: Pharmacodynamic studies have shown that persistently high platelet reactivity is common in patients with diabetes in spite of clopidogrel treatment. Clinical trials have not convincingly demonstrated that clopidogrel benefits patients with diabetes as much patients without diabetes.OBJECTIVES: To estimate the clinical effectiveness associated with clopidogrel treatment after myocardial in

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are associated with genetic variations including point substitutions, copy number alterations, insertions and deletions. At present, a few genetic variation repositories for some individual NDDs have been created, however, these databases are needed to be integrated and expanded to all the NDDs for systems biological investigation. We here build a relational

From Jan 1989 to December 1991, 61 patients had modified Fontan procedures for a variety of lesions, including tricuspid atresia (18), mitral atresia (3), double inlet ventricle (14), isomeric hearts (4) and others (22). The hospital mortality was 1.6% (70% CL.0.2-5.3%). There were 2 late deaths. The median age at operation was 3.7 years (mean 5.6, range 1.5 to 20.3 years). There were two late fai

Influence of sintering temperature on both phase composition and structure of ceramic matrix composites based on cubic boron nitride with binders in a form of Al and the Ti, Cr, V carbides are investigated by methods of physical materials science. As the object of study, three cBN–TiC–Al, cBN–Cr3C2–Al, cBN–VC–Al compositions containing 60% vol. cBN are selected. The composites are obtained by high

An LTE-enabled smartphone is a software-defined radio system that must cover a large number of frequency bands with different duplex differences. A proposed adaptive wideband duplexer needs a circulator to create the required initial isolation. To replace this an LC-based tunable low-isolation device is presented in this paper, providing the required tuning range for LTE Band I, II, III and VII. T

In this paper, we present the (to our knowledge) first measurement results for ultra-wideband channels in industrial environments, i.e., a factory hall. The measurements are done with virtual arrays, which allows analysis of the small-scale fading statistics, as well as a directional analysis. We find that there is dense multipath scattering due to the abundance of metallic scatterers in the consi

In this theses I have focused on how the mechanisms of species interactions affect community structure. It is well known that certain species may have a particularly strong influence on the structure of a community. What is not fully understood is how to characterize these species that have such a strong impact on community structure. In my work, I have work tried to find out what makes such speci

BACKGROUND: An adequate amount of prepaid resources for health is important to ensure access to health services and for the pursuit of universal health coverage. Previous studies on global health financing have described the relationship between economic development and health financing. In this study, we further explore global health financing trends and examine how the sources of funds used, typ

Eugenics and race played significant roles in Ukrainian interwar nationalism, yet remain largely unstudied. The Ukrainian nationalists’ understanding of the racial makeup of their imagined community was contradictory as they struggled to reconcile their desire for racial “purity” with the realities of significant variations between the populations inhabiting the enormous territories which they sou

Popular Abstract in Swedish Analysen av källornas uppgifter om uppbyggnadsfasen av de väpnade styrkorna under Muhammad och hans efterföljare kaliferna fram till 680 ger vid handen, att vi här har att göra med en organisation som stod på en likvärdig nivå med sina fiender i ledningsmässigt, strategiskt och taktiskt hänseende. Angreppet på de östromerska provinserna Palestina I-III och Arabia visar In the present work I have studied how the armed forces under Muhammad and the first caliphs were built up and how they operated in the period 622-80. The perspective is that of the history of religion and strategic theory, and comparisons are made with both contemporary and more recent material. The concept of "Strategic surprise attack" formed an important part of the campains that the generals

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen ger en överblick över dagens status inom nanoimprintlitografi. Teknologin ger möjlighet att framställa nm-strukturer med en upplösning bättre än 10 nm och kan användas för massproduktion av hela wafers. Avhandlingen beskriver utvecklingen av reproducerbara imprintprocesser som t.ex. kan användas för framställning av nm-strukturerade fingerelektroder. DessaThis thesis gives an overview about the current status of nanoimprint lithography, a relatively new nanofabrication tool. The technology is capable for parallel mass production of nm-structured features having a resolution below 10 nm and is usable with high throughput on full wafer scale. The thesis is mainly divided into two parts dealing with nanoimprint lithography and electrochemistry. The w

In 2013, the Large Hadron Collider provided proton-lead and lead-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV. Van der Meer scans were performed for both configurations of colliding beams, and the cross section was measured for two reference processes, based on particle detection by the T0 and V0 detectors, with pseudo-rapidity coverage 4.6 < eta < 4.9, -3.

In this work, a picosecond-lidar system, using a Nd:YAG picosecond laser, a Newtonian telescope and a streak camera, was used for single-ended furnace diagnostics. The optical access of the furnace was obstructed by a sooty diffusion ethylene flame. It was demonstrated that, with proper optical arrangement, the elastic scattering of the flame can be mapped in one dimension simultaneously as temper
