Sharks are an ecologically important group of fishes important to maintaining ecosystem structure and function, yet the additive effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities threaten their survival. Northwestern Atlantic populations of shortfin mako sharks and white sharks are considered threatened species, with populations in decline since the 1950s. Previous conservation efforts have a
Fram till 1 januari 2015 hade länsstyrelsen möjlighet att besluta om ”113-förordnande” enligt 6 kap. 5 § PBL. 113-förordnandet innebar att kommunen kunde ta mark i anspråk utan ersättning om det ansågs skäligt med hänsyn till den nytta som exploatören förväntades få av planens genomförande och till omständigheterna i övrigt. Hur mark för allmän plats ska värderas och ersättas regleras i 4 kap. 3a
In the central Himalayas, water dynamics are expected to change due to multiple factors like climate change, hydro power development and shifting land use practices. This thesis looks at possible changes in water dynamics in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal, as well as causes to those changes and how they are perceived locally. Grounded in critical physical geography, the study uses mixed methods an

This is a thesis project, analysing data from high-resolution imaging observations, specifically speckle imaging, as a follow up study of exoplanet host stars observed with K2, the second operational phase of the space telescope Kepler. The project was accomplished at NASA Ames research center under the guidance of Rachel A. Matson, during an internship in collaboration with the Swedish National S
Urban Sprawl is one of the challenges to urban development in many nations. Different aspects of the phenomenon have been researched with a view to providing solutions to myriad of ills attributed to it. For any meaningful intervention, however, assessment of development to ascertain sprawl is essential. Despite this, its quantification and monitoring in environment with paucity of data remains a
Background: Environmental exposures to industrial chemicals, including perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), may play a role in bone development and future risk of osteoporosis. However, as prospective evidence is limited, the role of developmental PFAS exposures in bone density changes in childhood is unclear. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between serum-PFAS concentrations
Background: This study aimed to evaluate whether an increasing grade of obesity is associated with inferior outcomes after lumbar disc herniation (LDH) surgery. Methods: We retrieved data from the Swedish register for spine surgery regarding patients aged 20–64 who underwent LDH surgery from 2006–2016 and had preoperative and one-year postoperative data. A total of 4156 patients were normal weight
Background. The urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) system is involved in tissue remodelling processes and is up-regulated in many types of malignancies. We investigated whether serum levels of different forms of soluble uPA receptor (suPAR) are associated with survival and in particular with prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease mortality. Methods. Using time-resolved fluorescence immunoas
Abstract The main influences on growing conditions in pastures and hayfields are grazing and mowing, which regulate the species struggle for space and resources. If the management ceases, this will contribute to a change of the vegetation. A succession starts where the plant cover gradually will change according to a specific pattern. After some time a few competitive species, previously disfavou
PURPOSE To estimate age-specific relative and absolute cancer risks of breast cancer and to estimate risks of ovarian, pancreatic, male breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers associated with germline PALB2 pathogenic variants (PVs) because these risks have not been extensively characterized. METHODS We analyzed data from 524 families with PALB2 PVs from 21 countries. Complex segregation analysis
Background: Wasting is a common complication of kidney failure that leads to weight loss and poor outcomes. Recent experimental data identified parathyroid hormone (PTH) as a driver of adipose tissue browning and wasting, but little is known about the relations among secondary hyperparathyroidism, weight loss, and risk of mortality in dialysis patients. Methods: We included 42,319 chronic in-centr
Objective: To assess whether inter-professional, bidirectional collaboration between general practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists has an impact on improving cardiovascular risk outcomes among patients in the primary care setting. It also aimed to understand the different types of collaborative care models used. Study design: Systematic review and Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman random effects meta-anal
The author analyzes the determinants of stock-based compensation in Chinese listed firms and subsequent performance within these firms. My study shows that non-tradable reforms changed the managerial objectives from accounting profit to market performance. The subsequent stock-based incentives in managers have induced measurable changes in behavior at the enterprise level. With regard to the subse
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning De båda polerna har naturliga variationer med istäckets utbredning. Arktis och Antarktis har väl anpassad biota som klarar av det stränga klimatet och som är beroende av isens säsongsvariationer med att frysa och smälta. Isen spelar även en stor roll vid klimatvariationer och förändringar. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vilken isbildning som är mest The polar areas have natural variations in the ice extent. The Arctic and Antarctic environment have well-adapted biota that can handle climate and that are dependent on the seasonal variations of freezing and melting of the ice. The ice also plays a major role in climate changes and climate variability. The aim of this report is to determine the type of ice formation that is most common for the p
Neoliberalism, as a loosely defined set of political beliefs, calls for more individual freedom and autonomy, resulting in increased responsibility for each person to address major societal issues. ‘Individualization’ is the process by which responsibility for addressing major environmental issues such as climate change is placed on individuals. In this thesis I investigate whether individualizati
A detailed sedimentological study was made on six section walls in the Tvärkroken gravel pit, Idre, west-central Sweden. Based on sediment characteristics, three sedimentary units, units 1-3, were identified. The lowest unit, unit 1, was formed by deposition from sediment-loaded underflows into a stagnant basin. A gradual decrease in water depth is indicated in the upper part of this unit. Post-de
