This study aimed to quantify and compare zooplankton feeding interactions in terms of diet composition, ingestion rate, and food size selectivity of a copepod (Acartia tonsa) and a cladoceran (Evadne nordmanni). This was achieved by surveying the grazing impact of A. tonsa and E. nordmanni on the natural phytoplankton, microzooplankton and microbial community occurring in autumn in coastal Skagera
More and more findings have been published showing that sedentary behavior is causing health hazards that can be independent of the effects from physical activity. Even if you go to the gym every day you might still suffer health effects from your otherwise sedentary life. Sicknesses as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and back pain are strongly related to the sedentary lifestyle. To instead
Executive summary Problems During the last decades the society has undergone a major change. Only some years ago organizations’ most important assets were of financial character. Some years ago the conception intellectual capital were presented in order to further explain the difference between market value and book value. This difference is a major concern for many organizations, and to solve thi
Popular science summary Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is a common B cell lymphoma of the Western world and the therapies used to treat it have considerable side effects. Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection is associated with the pathogenesis of HL, though little is known about its contribution. B-lymphocyte undergoes two rounds of differentiation; first in the bone marrow where it becomes a Naïve B cell
Regler om budplikt infördes i NBK:s rekommendationer 1999. Efter en komplettering av takeover-direktivet blev det lag i LUA 2005. Företeelsen med budplikt på den svenska aktiemarknaden är således relativ ny, varför dess tillämpning och effekt är intressant att utreda. Budpliktsreglerna härstammar från Takeover Code i Storbritannien som uppstod efter att aktiemarknaden, under 1960-1970-talet, blev Mandatory bid rules were introduced in NBK´s recommendation in 1999, and then statutory in LUA in 2005, after an implementation of the takeoverdirective. The phenomenon with mandatory bid rules is therefore relatively new on the Swedish stock market why its application and impact is interesting to evaluate. Mandatory bid rules derives from the Takeover Code, from the UK, that emerged when the stoc
Strandskyddslagstiftningen och allemansrätten är unika globalt sett. Strandskyddets syfte är att bevara den goda livsmiljön för växter och djur samt att trygga förutsättningarna för allmänhetens tillgång till kusterna. 1 juli 2009 trädde den förändrade strandskyddslagstiftningen i kraft. De huvudsakliga målen med förändringen var enligt propositionen att främja utvecklingen i landsbygden med god tShoreline protection law and the right of commons are unique from a global perspective. The purpose of the shoreline protection law is to promote and maintain a good habitat for plants and animals and to secure the basis for the public's access to the coastline. On the 1st of July 2009 the new and changed shoreline protection law took effect. The main purpose of the change was to promote rura

Dagens TV-program bygger i de flesta fall på ett bakomliggande TV-format. Formaten har under de senaste åren blivit en allt viktigare del av TV-industrin och idag är de föremål för en handel som årligen omsätter miljardbelopp. I takt med att marknaden för format expanderat har ökande konkurrens inom mediebranschen gjort att striden om TV-tittarna hårdnat. TV-bolagen har tvingats fokusera allt mer The television programs of today are in most cases based on an underlying television format. The use of TV formats has in recent years become an increasingly important part of the television industry and today they are subject of a billion dollar trade. As a result of the format market's expansion and the increased competition within the media industry the battle for viewers has intensified. T
Greenhouses and nursery-gardens is an important business in Sweden, covering a land area of 3,0 million square meters in 2011. The downside of this otherwise blooming business is however the use of so called PPPs, plant protection products, which is connected to it. Historically the use of PPPs has been widespread and the handling has been conducted in an off-hand way. During the post-war time the
At the end of August 1999, the local government council of Malmö city decided that the area known as Kvarteret Bilen would be made available for the European Housing Exhibition 2001 (Bo01-mässan). Kvarteret Bilen extends over approximately 80 hectars and includes the western parts of the Western Harbour area (Västra hamnen) of Malmö. Kvarteret Bilen as a whole, but especially the western sections
The threat or use of force in international relations has been unlawful since the UN Charter entered into force in 1945. States still had the right, though, to protect themselves in self-defence. There has, from the start, been a discussion about the extent of this right to self-defence. In UN Charter article 51 it is stated that Members have an ''inherent right of individual or collective
The need of a European immigration policy within the EU appear to be evident. Until fairly recently, immigration and asylum policy was strictly the concern of every national state but since the mid-80s, a clear intensification of cooperation has taken place. The measures taken in this field the last 15 years have been concentrated on exclusion of foreigners. The Single European Act introduced an a
Title: The impact of environment on music students' commitment to music - a study of attitudes among music students and their parents. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the importance of environmental influence on childrens' musical interests and factors inspiring children to play instruments and sing. The parents' opinions, regarding the extent of the effect of the environmen
This study analyzed daily temperature data from 114 meteorological stations in the Qinling-Daba Mountains from 1980 to 2017, focusing on core zones (CE I ≥ 2274 m, CE II 1321–2274 m) and peripheral zones (PE I 668–1321 m, PE II < 668 m). Using 15 extreme temperature indices computed with RClimDex, we assessed the spatiotemporal patterns, trends, and response to climate warming of extreme temperatu
Background: Intra- and interfractional variations in anatomy can cause unplanned substantial alterations of the dose distribution of the target in proton therapy. Motion management methods might be used in order to minimize anatomical variations. In the proton therapy of lung cancer, a potential motion management technique is the use of the voluntary breath-hold approach. The aim of this study was
Stroke and anemia are both prevalent conditions with significant health burdens, yet their bidirectional relationship remains poorly understood. Anemia affects up to 29 % of stroke patients and is associated with increased worse outcomes. However, the causal nature of this association, particularly concerning different anemia subtypes, remains controversial, and there is a lack of clear targets an
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prostate cancer (PC) and dementia may commonly co-occur; yet, prior evidence for bidirectional associations is inconsistent. This study aims to determine the associations between PC and dementia in large population-based studies, which may further inform clinical care. METHODS: To assess the dementia risk in men with PC, a national cohort study was conducted in 178 746 me
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Human genetic studies support a key role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Still, there are only limited data from observational studies exploring circulating IL-6 levels as a risk factor for ischemic stroke. Here, we set out to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of aggregate data on cohort studies to determine the magnitude and s
Background and aims: PPARGC1A encodes PGC-1α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α), a central regulator of energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. A common polymorphism in PPARGC1A (rs8192678, C/T, Gly482Ser) has been associated with obesity and related metabolic disorders, but no published functional studies have investigated direct allele-specific effects in adipoc
