Avian Malaria infects thousands of species of birds across the Aves class. The most widespread (geographically and phylogenetically)morphological species is Plasmodium relictum, and of that, the mitochondrial lineage of SGS1 is the most common and invasive. It infects146 bird species, with large differences in infection outcome, from low intensity chronic disease to shorter, highly virulent infect
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe pre-school children's learning during a learning study, and their teachers’ awareness of each child's learning possibilities in relation to what they actually learned. The paper's aims are twofold; first, to focus on how to design learning study in pre-school settings; and second, to study young children's (aged 4-5) learning. Design/methodology/ap
Motivation in simultaneous L2 learning situations is an area of research largely overlooked and studies from contexts where people are engaged in learning more than one L2 are rare. In their large-scale Hungarian research, Dornyei, Csizer and Nemeth found that pupils' positive attitudes to one L2 could cause interferences with attitudes to others, with English being the greatest source of such int
Plandokument är något som är vanligt i Sveriges stadsplanering, och skapandet av det görs med stor omsorg för ett långsiktigt perspektiv och ekonomisk utveckling. Inte i alla delar av världen har man denna fungerande struktur. Kosovo är ett av de nyaste länderna i världen, som förklarade sig självständigt den 17 februari 2008. Kosovo har sedan dess försökt bygga upp sin stat, till stor del med utrThis study aims to describe the structure of land management in Kosovo, and existing issues with the current urban planning strategy in the country. The land is currently utilized to the best extent when developing the urban area and the system seems to move toward more necessary controls. Two specific factors have been recognized as influencing the urban planning process. One is illegal buildings
The purpose of this thesis is to understand the contributions of dairy cooperative to the livelihoods of small hold farmers in the multi-ethnic rural areas of Nepal. In a case study from Lalitpur District, the thesis investigated the members of a cooperative from different social ranks, with the research question ‘To what extent is dairy cooperative contributing to the livelihoods of small hold fa
The M&A activity among companies worldwide increases every year, at the same time as much as 70 % of all M&A’s are being reviewed as failures. M&A’s are a fast mean of positioning for a company, which makes the strategy increasingly relevant for high-tech companies since the high tech industry can change in both quick and disruptive ways. This study aims to explore the most common moti
Researchers argue that micromanaging behaviour has now become a common trait of management and been perceived as negative. Furthermore, there is little research on the technical perspective of micromanagement and why and how it occurs in an engineering environment. While each research covers only a few segments of the origin, symptoms and reasons of micromanagement, our thesis tries to consolidate
One component in writing development is a more efficient use of syntactic tools. Later syntactic development, specifically that of the noun phrase, is an understudied area, notably so for Swedish. The demand for specified and concise information in an expository text, and the availability of more planning time in the written modality, are important factors contributing to more complex noun phrases
Gröna tak – en samhällsekonomiskt lönsam lösning för att bibehålla viktiga ekosystemtjänster i städer? Den växande urbaniseringen är en global trend och idag bor åtminstone 54 procent av världens befolkning i städer. År 2070 förväntas 70 procent av världens befolkning bo i städer och Sverige är idag det land med näst högst urbaniseringstakt. Precis som i flera andra länder används i Sverige förtäCity densification in Sweden has decreased the amount of green areas in Swedish cities. This undermines the existing ecosystem services that could for instance provide climate change mitigation and adaption. Green roofs are considered to be a product that can strengthen or substitute the urban ecosystem services produced by natural vegetation. This paper investigates whether retrofitting green roo
Syftet med mitt examensarbete är att undersöka i detalj hur gällande folkrätt förhåller sig till autonoma vapensystem. Bakgrunden till detta projekt är att internationell humanitär rätt förutsätter att aktörerna i kriget, soldater och officerare är människor. Krigföring har dock förändrats i allt högre grad sedan de första Genèvekonventionerna skrevs i augusti 1949. Krig kämpas numera med maskinerThe purpose of my Master Thesis is to examine, in detail, how current international law relates to autonomous weapon systems. The background for this project is that the requirement of current international humanitarian law presupposes that the characters of war, namely soldiers and military officers, are human beings. Warfare has, however, changed increasingly since the Geneva Conventions were wr
A growing number of environmental movements recognize the need for changing our spiritual approach to the environment, while we simultaneously witness a revival and development of ecotheologies and religiously motivated environmental initiatives. Islamic theological discourse on ecological issues is quite well studied, but less attention has been directed to how Islamic ecology has been translated
Purpose: (1) Determine whether there is an inconsistency between the disclosed WACC and the WACC applied in CGU’s for internal impairment tests, with respect to IAS 36. (2) Determine to what extent companies apply a company-wide WACC internally in all CGU’s, when conducting impairment tests in accordance with IAS 36. (3) Describe and analyse the incentives for companies to apply a company-wide WAC
The aim of this study is to investigate opportunities and obstacles for a small municipality (Perstorp) to replace a municipal car with an electric car. In the study environmental aspects such as greenhouse gases and energy efficiency are compared between a conventional car and an electric car. Furthermore, different kinds of charging stations are reviewed with the aim to find a suitable station f
Jordägande i Sverige idag är inte vad det en gång var. På 1600- och 1700-talen var den svenska jorden indelad i tre olika jordnaturer, skatte-, krono- och frälsejord. Dessa medförde olika rättigheter och skyldigheter för brukaren, och deras äganderättsliga struktur varierade. Dåtidens ägande var komplext och rätten till jord delades under 1600-talet in i två delar, bördsrätt och rätt till avkastniLand ownership in Sweden differs today from what it has been in the past. In the 17th and 18th centuries all cultivated soil was divided into three fiscal classes of land, associated with different land tenures (approx. Freeholds, crownland and bookland). The different land tenures came with varying rights and responsibilities as well as with varying degrees of possession. The property rights of
Has Sweden abandoned its traditions on what foundations military interventions are decided upon, such as a solid UN mandate, valid framework organizations and inviolable legal status of its personnel? In June 2015 Sweden decided to participate in Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq. Twelve days later a new defence-policy was decided, focusing on national capabilities. Furthermore, government was cr
The aim of this study was to investigate the social secretaries description of their discretion. The focus was how discretion is described in relation to the Offices of Social Services as an organization. And how the social secretaries professional identity could be understood in relation to the social secretaries descriptions of their discretion. The participants were invited through a goal-orien
Vad krävs för att människor ska säga att en individ har utsatts för diskriminering? Tidigare forskning har framhävt främst två sätt att förklara vad som påverkar människor när de säger att diskriminering skett. Dessa är att människor baserar sin attribution på sin förförståelse om situationen och de som drabbas s.k. prototyper (“kvinnor har historiskt sett blivit mer diskriminerade”), samt att mänWhat is required for people to say that an individual has been discriminated against? Previous research has primarily focused on two ways of explaining what factors are at play when someone says discrimination has occurred. These claim that people base their attribution on their perceptions about the situation and victim, so called prototypes ("women have historically been more discriminated
Lekmän som domare i rättssalen är ett gammalt fenomen på många håll i världen. Europa har en lång historia av personer utan juridisk utbildning som är med och dömer. I Sverige kallas sådana domare för nämndemän och dömer idag tillsammans med juridiskt utbildade domare i tingsrätt, hovrätt, förvaltningsrätt och kammarrätt. På senare år har dessa politiskt tillsatta nämndemän och deras system varit Lay judges is an old phenomenon in many parts of the world. There is a long history of people without a legal education that have been participating in court as judges in Europe. In Sweden, such judges are called nämndemän and they work together with legally trained judges in the low and high courts of Sweden. In recent years these politically appointed nämndemän and their system have been subject
En allmän lojalitetsprincip anses gälla i obligationsrätten men sättet som denna princip kommit att få fäste i den svenska rättsordningen avviker från hur rätten vanligtvis utvecklas. Principen har inget enhetligt eller fastställt innehåll och det är omdebatterat hur omfattande principen är och hur den kommer till uttryck i svensk rätt. Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att försöka utreda hur lojalA general principle of good faith is considered to be applicable in Swedish contract law, however, the means in which this principle has taken hold in Swedish law deviates from the customary development of the law. The principle has no unanimous or clearly determined definition and it is debated how extensive the principle is and how it is expressed in Swedish law. The overarching purpose of this
Do Russian Melitaea butterflies contain the symbiotic bacteria Wolbachia? Background Up to 60 percent of insect species in the world are infected with the intracellular, obligate symbiont called Wolbachia pipientis, making it one of the most common arthropod endosymbionts, and potentially one of the most successful organisms on Earth. The bacterium affects its host species in negative and/or posi
