Popular Abstract in Swedish Om flyttningens betydelse för utbredningsmönster för arktiska fåglar Sara Henningsson Fågelflyttning är en anmärkningsvärt framgångsrik strategi som möjliggör att en större mängd individer kan försörjas genom rörelser mellan olika regioner. Inom dessa olika områden, som ofta ligger mycket långt ifrån varandra, kan fåglarna utnyttja stora säsongsmässigt tillgängliga resFlexibility as well as constraints to the evolution of migration routes has the possibility of affecting large-scale patterns of geographical ranges of animals both by facilitating, but sometimes restricting, accessibility to and colonization of new regions. This dissertation concerns the broad-scale effects migration has on the distributional patterns of birds in the Arctic. I studied the circu

Growing and eating food are cultural practices that simultaneously make physical bodies, shape landscapes, and produce racial (together with class/ethno/spatial) knowledge and identity. This chapter strives to complement the large body of work on race and racism in Brazil and elsewhere with an exploration of how some people in the Brazilian state of Bahia experience and communicate racialized iden

Anknytningsteorin har sedan länge varit fundamental för utvecklingspsykologin och beskriver hur ett barn har en medfödd förmåga att knyta an till sina vårdnadshavare för närhet och skydd. På senare tid har teorin om kognitiva script visat sig användbar i jakten på att förstå hur individers mentala representationer gestaltar sig. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka förekomsten och relationen

This thesis is an attempt to discuss the proposals to improve the statuses and rights of the legally resident third country nationals living in the European Union. As denizens, third country nationals have full civil and social rights but they do not have any political rights. This is believed to denote an anomaly, which can be corrected through the grant of political rights. However, political ri

Due to the world becoming increasingly more ambiguous and uncertain, some concepts may consequently become more relevant when evaluating ways to cope with this change. One such concept that has historical indications of being a significant factor in people’s ability to successfully cope with a changing environment is what is called the need for closure. Developed and researched by Arie W. Kruglans

The EU-US Privacy Shield Decision on data transfers between the EU and the US was found invalid by the CJEU Schrems II ruling on 16 July 2020. After Schrems II, discussions among scholars and practitioners on legal challenges of international data transfers resulting from the case has gained much tension during the past years. Given the significant amount of data that flows between organizations a

The sustainable production and consumption of foods is gaining traction and globally, it is believed that there is nutritional transitional taking place from animal-based protein to plant-based protein. Product requirements, supply chain conditions, and consumption patterns for animal-based proteins and plant-based proteins will vary. This ensures that the packaging of plant-based foods must now m

What level of influence should market actors be allowed to exert over consumers’ transactional decisions? While persuasive marketing is inherent to free markets and therefore uncontroversial, relatively recent research in the field of behavioural economics about systemic errors in human decision-making has shown just how susceptible consumers are to the will of market actors. Within a rapidly evol

Estimation of GPP in Sudan using the evaporative fraction as water stress factor The Gross Primary Production "GPP" quantifies the amount of carbon entering an ecosystem. It is an ecosystem service since it is a source of energy for all organisms and it is estimated to reduce atmospheric CO2 in about 123 Pg C per year at the global scale. Therefore, the improvement of estimation methods

This thesis presents a comparison between implementations of the inverse square root function, using two approximation algorithms; Harmonized Parabolic Synthesis and the Newton-Raphson Method. The input is a 15 bit fixed-point number, the range of which is selected so that the implementation is suitable for use as a block implementing the inverse square root for floating-point numbers, and the des

The Nuremberg Charter introduced the crime of aggression into international law. The American Chief Prosecutor Justice Robert Jackson gave a famous promise that offenders who commit acts of aggression shall be prosecuted and international criminal law would be applied against them. However, only at the first Review Conference of the ICC Statute in Kampala 2010, agreement on a universally accepted

The market uptake of solid-state lighting (SSL) is slow, even though it has many advantages and could deliver a variety of benefits to the society. The public sector is a large actor in the lighting market and could play an important role in accelerating SSL market penetration. Nevertheless, it faces many challenges to adopt SSL. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to provide a better

In line with current tendencies of 'new modes of governance', this essay introduces judicial tools which strike a balance between the respect for national autonomy in individual assessments and the effective implementation of Community law. The balance is struck through the demands of structural guarantees&semic administrative safeguards, which weeds out arbitrary national decision-mak

Psouni and Apetroaia (2010) have recently introduced the Secure Base Script Test,SBST, for middle childhood. Based on Waters and Rodrigues-Doolabh’s (2004)Narrative Script Assessment for assessing secure base script knowledge in adults,Psouni and Apetroaia’s method is a narrative task in which children create short narratives by making use of four prompt word outlines that loosely suggest prototyp

The paper analyzes the national judgment in the Laval case and argues that horizontal liability for damages is possible. Additionally, the paper shows that state liability is usually possible in the case of horizontal liability. It also touches upon the question of whether there are community rights to damages arising from the ECJ case law. At the same time, it argues that the state liability requ

The aim of this research paper is to explore how, and to what extent, the WIPO Marrakesh Treaty addresses the issue of restricted access to copyrighted materials by persons with visual impairments while securing legitimate interests and human rights of the central stakeholders; specifically, copyright rightholders and persons with visual impairments. In doing so, the focus centres on the compromis
