Many breeding attempts in birds do not result in any fledged young due to predation on eggs or young. Consequently, the influence of time constraints on reproductive decisions are integrated parts of the reproductive behaviour of birds breeding within short, seasonal climate zones. In this study. I mimicked nest predation by removing blue tit (Parus caeruleus) clutches shortly after completion. Ar
Concerns about the environmental effects of the ‘throwaway society’ are increasingly influencing policy-making and regulatory action in the EU. The Seventh Environment Action Programme, which aims to guide European environmental policy, sets out a long-term vision for the EU that requires a major shift in the way economic activities are conducted: In 2050, we live well, within the planet’s ecologi

However, with increased complexity, manufacturingcost increased. The manufacturing cost includes the test
Purpose: To assess the performance of a 4-step algorithm for neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest recommended by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). Methods: Retrospective descriptive analysis with data from the Target Temperature Management (TTM) Trial. Associations between predicted and actual neurological outcome wer
BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that Tanzanian MSM might prefer consulting pharmacies and drugstores, rather than public healthcare services, when in need of STI medicines and treatment. Yet, few studies have explored the experiences of providing services to MSM clients among those working at pharmacies and drugstores and examined what challenges they encounter in providing these services.
BACKGROUND: The impact of hearing loss on the individual and his/her everyday life can be assessed using questionnaires with the purpose to improve rehabilitation quality. The Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) can be used to evaluate disability in everyday life associated with hearing loss. Previous studies have examined APHAB outcomes in sensorineural hearing loss and we do not k
Introduction: The treatment strategies for a 42-year-old female index patient with moderate Graves’ disease (GD) vary according to several international surveys. The important question whether surveys of treatment preferences in theoretical patient cases also match how real patients are treated has not yet been addressed. Materials and Methods: From a Swedish cohort of 1186 GD patients (TT-12 coho
BackgroundEvaluation of emergency department (ED) performance remains a difficult task due to the lack of consensus on performance measures that reflects high quality, efficiency, and sustainability.AimTo describe, map, and critically evaluate which performance measures that the published literature regard as being most relevant in assessing overall ED performance.MethodsFollowing the PRISMA guide
The problem of empty names derives from the fact that empty names fail to refer. The reference failure of empty names implies that sentences containing empty names lack truth-conditions. As a consequence those sentences are meaningless, according to many theories of meaning. The present dissertation addresses the problem of empty names and proposes a solution to the problem at hand. In brief, the
This report presents a project at Lund University Libraries (LUB) during the fall of 2012, with the object to identify areas where the present research support services ought to be developed and strengthened. The project is three folded and contains a) a literature review focusing on definitions and examples of research support services as well as researchers’ needs and experiences of support serv
NERICA is a new group of high-yielding and stress-tolerant upland rice varieties, developed by the Africa Rice Center to address the continent-wide rice challenge, poverty and food insecurity. Recognizing that African women farmers do not always benefit from the introduction of productivity-enhancing technology and higher-value crops, the aim of my thesis is to understand processes leading to NERI
Context. Hot subdwarfs experienced strong mass loss on the red giant branch (RGB) and are now hot and small He-burning objects. These stars constitute excellent opportunities for addressing the question of the evolution of exoplanetary systems directly after the RGB phase of evolution.Aims. In this project we aim to perform a transit survey in all available light curves of hot subdwarfs from space
The Forms of Self-criticizing/Attacking and Self-reassuring Scale (FSCRS) is a self-report questionnaire that assesses the forms of self-criticism and self-reassurance. The aim of this study was to explore the latent structure of the FSCRS in nonclinical and clinical samples. Data from 381 participants from the general population and from 304 participants from clinical settings were subjected to c
Artikel 16 i EU-stadgan reglerar näringsfriheten om fritt utövande av ekonomisk och kommersiell verksamhet.

Gender norms seem to affect social workers' evaluation of children in childcare investigations in Sweden. This essay aimed to determine whether social workers at a Swedish social service center write differently about boys and girls in child care investigation documents based on the children's gender. The sample consisted of nine randomized investigation documents on four boys and five gir
This study focuses on irregular migratory movements, and the mistreatment suffered by migrants, at the Southern Frontier of Europe, specifically at the Spanish-Moroccan border, from an international criminal law approach. The main question is whether the conduct of the security forces against migrants can be considered crimes against humanity and should therefore be investigated. The “problem” of
Digital 3D city models are used in many GIS applications, such as urban planning. Manual digitization of 3D buildings is rather tedious, hence automated approaches are much preferred. In this study, a pipeline for automated extraction and estimation of building roof facets from LIDAR data are devised based on available methods and ideas, which is part of the entire frame work of automatic creating
The Base of the Pyramid (BoP) refers to 4 - 4,5 billion people in the world, who are living on less than a few dollars per day. This majority of the world's population has a little resources and is usually considered as a group with no purchasing power and therefore is currently unserved and underserved by current products and services. However, more than any others, the low-income consumers a
Inom det som kallas projektfinansiering tillhandahåller långivare finansiering för utvecklingen av ett enskilt projekt. Ofta är sådan projektfinansiering kopplad till offentliga projekt. I Sverige har finansieringsmetoden projektfinansiering till exempel använts för att finansiera Arlandabanan. Själva idén med projektfinansiering är att det kassaflöde som projektet genererar ska användas och räckaUnder project finance lenders provide finance for the development of a single project. The method of project finance is often connected to major public initiatives. In Sweden project finance has for example been used to finance Arlandabanan. The point of using project finance is for the revenues generated by the finished project to serve as a monetary resource for the repayment of the loan. Thus,
