Museomics is a valuable approach that utilizes the diverse biobanks that are natural history museums. The ability to sequence genomes from old specimens has expanded not only the variety of interesting taxa available to study but also the scope of questions that can be investigated in order to further knowledge about biodiversity. Here, we present whole genome sequencing results from the enigmatic
Adolescent Cannabis exposure has been hypothesized to act as a gateway to opiate abuse. In order to investigate the role of genetic background in cannabinoid-opiate interactions, we studied the effect of Δ(9) -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exposure of adolescent Lewis and Fischer 344 rats on the responsiveness of accumbens shell and core dopamine (DA), as monitored by microdialysis, to THC and heroin
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe chronic inflammatory autoimmune connective tissue disease. Despite major efforts, SLE remains a poorly understood disease with unpredictable course, unknown etiology and complex pathogenesis. Apoptosis combined with deficiency in clearing apoptotic cells is an important etiopathogenic event in SLE, which could contribute to the increased load of poten
Sweden is a diverse and multilingual place. Today’s students represent a broad spectrum of cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Sweden is also a site for mobility as people flow in and out through processes of migration, tourism, international trade, and study abroad. It is in this context that English is taught in Swedish upper secondary schools. The subject of English in Sweden,
This study discusses subordination in Swedish from the perspective of three construction types that involve clauses that have traditionally been difficult to classify as unambiguous main or subordinate clauses: “embedded V2”-constructions, direct speech constructions, and exclamatives. A general hypothesis regarding subordination and "superordination” is proposed: The Highest Force Hypothesis. The
Objective. To follow the development of a class of pupils' tobacco habits for seven years, and to study differences in tobacco use between girls and boys. Setting. Kronoberg County in southern Sweden. Subjects. All the approximately 2000 pupils were followed from approximately age 12 to approximately age 18. Design. Yearly cross-sectional surveys from 1994 to 2000. Each year, the pupils filled in
När ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande avseende ett svenskt bolag framförs är det vanligtvis förhandlat med målbolagets styrelse och med dennes stöd. I de fallen så inte är fallet brukar budet benämnas fientligt, d.v.s. att det inte stöds av målbolagets styrelse. Frågan uppkommer då vilka åtgärder en bo-lagsledning kan vidta för att antingen minska risken att bolaget blir föremål för ett fientligt bWhen a public offer is presented regarding the shares of a Swedish listed company, it’s usually been negotiated with the target company’s board of directors and has its support. When an offer lacks the support of the target company’s board of directors, the offer is considered hostile. Thus, the question arises what kind of actions the target company’s management can take in order to either minimi
Denna studie handlar om den rättsliga prövningen av en europeisk arresteringsorder i Sverige och Irland. En arresteringsorder är ett rättsligt avgörande i syfte att begära överlämnande av en person för lagföring eller verkställighet av ett frihetsberövande straff. Den utfärdas i ett land och ska utan ingående prövning verkställas i ett annat. Samarbetet kring den europeiska arresteringsordern skilThis study is based on the judicial review of a European arrest warrant in Sweden and Ireland. An arrest warrant is a judicial decision to request the surrender of a person for prosecution or enforcement of a custodial sentence. It is issued in one country and shall be executed in another without thorough examination. The European arrest warrant differs from the traditional extradition procedure i
Negative environmental impacts generated by new buildings and the built environment needs to be reduced in order to contribute to mitigation of anthropogenic global warming. Sustainable building certifications such as Miljöbyggnad and DGNB was introduced as a measure to transition into more sustainable buildings. The research study explores the environmental impacts of cross-laminated timber and t
Transport planning has been in favour of and prioritised motorised transport for almost a century. During this time, cars have been given street space at the expense of more sustainable transport modes. The auto-normative paradigm thus created a spatial imbalance, an injustice, in the amount of space that are devoted to the different transport modes. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse
Under senare decennier har det förekommit frekventa politiska utspel såväl som lagändringar när det gäller socialbidragstagande. Dessa hänger samman med ett allmänt omfamnade av ”aktiveringspolitik” när det gäller arbetslöshet i stort. Vi har till följd av detta omfamnande sett en allt större sammanblandning mellan arbetsmarknads- och socialpolitik, vilket har lett till utökad samverkan mellan tilIn the last couple of decades in Sweden, there has been an adoption of “workfare”-oriented policy approaches to unemployment (as opposed to the former, less conditioned welfare-oriented ones). Consequently, labour market policies more and more have started to encompass the Social Services Department (in Swedish; “socialtjänsten”). In Scandinavia, active labour market policies are commonly referred
För att effektivare nå uppställda mål och för att skapa en snabbare projekteringsprocess så har ett antal forskare på CIFE (Center for Facility Engineering) tagit fram en mötesmetodik de har benämnt ICE. ICE kännetecknas av stora möten där fler teknikområden representeras för att driva projektet framåt. Sweco, det studerade företaget, har som första svenska konsultföretag inom anläggningsbranschenWith the aim to reach goals in a more efficient way and to create a faster process for projects scientists in CIFE (Center for Facility Engineerig) developed a method for meetings they call ICE. ICE is known as a bigger form of meeting where many technique-areas gather to make the project move forward. Sweco, the company where the study took place, is the first Swedish consulting company to certif
Från giftiga potatisar till användbara proteiner Potatis är en av världens mest odlade grödor. Den innehåller både kolhydrater och proteiner och har ett högt näringsvärde. Det talas ofta om att det är viktigt att få i sig proteiner, men sällan om proteinets emulgerande, konsistengivande och skummande egenskaper. Dessa egenskaper är högt värderade inom livsmedelsindustrin. Traditionell odling harPotato protein is an industrial side product with highly desirable properties which can be utilized if the toxic glycoalkaloids can be removed in a gentle way which doesn’t damage the protein. The challenge within this project is to find an extraction technique efficient enough to remove the toxic glycoalkaloids, but still mild enough to preserve the protein from denaturation. Supercritical CO2 ex
Purpose - The primary purpose of this thesis is to generate insights into the practical relevance and existing attempts of an aligned employer and corporate brand. The literature suggests that both employer branding and corporate branding are not aligned for a consistent brand, and each of the department responsible for the respective branding concept works in separate silos without cross-function

Further, we looked at existing pricing theories in order to assess their applicability on the market of special
Dagens samhälle står inför en stor klimatutmaning vilket ställer höga krav på alla branscher, inte minst bygg- och fastighetsbranschen. Byggnader och lokaler står idag för en tredjedel av Sveriges energianvändningen där 60 % går till uppvärmning. För att minska utsläppen från bostäder och lokaler har stort fokus lagts på byggnaders energianvändning under dess driftsfas. I takt med att byggnader bl
In order to study and evaluate the care provided at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an accurate model to assess severity of illness and predict patient mortality based on admission data is required. Since 1983, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) based on logistic regression (LR) has become one of the international standards for this purpose and is used in Sweden for adults. While being a
Den högsta ledningens kommunikation är av stor vikt i organisationer, då den utgör grunden för övergripande styrning och strategi, samt skapar förutsättningarna för en enad verksamhet. Trots vikten av ledningskommunikationen i organisationer saknas förståelse för fenomenet ur ett medarbetarperspektiv. Denna studie utgår från ett medarbetarperspektiv, med avgränsning till generation Y, samt ett komThe top management's communication is of great importance in organizations, as it forms the basis for overall governance and strategy, and creates the conditions for a unified business. This study is based on an employee perspective, with a limitation to generation Y, as well as a communicative perspective on leadership. With the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the conditions for organization
