The literature on dalit women is limited and in particular knowledge on young dalit women who have completed a social mobility journey is inadequate. Redressing this, the study enquires into the role caste plays for well educated dalit women concerning being ‘cast(ed)’1 as dalits, their education, marriage and special opportunities. Moreover, this study seeks to understand how these perspectives a
Natural enemies exert selection pressure on their prey. Predators and parasitoids drive their prey into the evolution of novel traits to cope with this stress. When eggs and juveniles are the target of enemies, defense strategies may rely on adults. However, it is not easy to predict whether adults should actively protect unrelated offspring. Females of the golden egg bug (Phyllomorpha laciniata)
In the light of a world-wide shortage of helium-3 (3He) a development of novel neutron detector systems (NDS) is necessary. This requires mathematical descriptions of the neutron scattering process in thin films. In this bachelor thesis our aim is to make a probabilistic model of the scattering of a single neutron travelling through a thin film, with main focus on the first scatter occurrence. The
Fathers are expected to play an increasing part in the care of children, but fathers are not automatically included in studies of early childhood. In this paper we present Swedish fathers' experiences of child health care. In the study, a total of 237 out of 279 (85%) fathers of small children were telephone interviewed using a structured questionnaire. As many as 165 (70%) had visited the child h
This paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries. I find that switching to tacit consent-based legislation reduces fertility by about 4% relative to the mean. This effect is driven by a decrease in couple formation and an increase in abortion rates. Supporting evidence is consistent with a behavioralThis paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries.

The year 2015 marked a rupture in the post-war development of refugee reception and integration policies in Sweden. This rupture involved both a radical change in refugee policy and practice, and a rupture in the long-held collective self-image of Sweden as a country with generous reception and integration policies (Scarpa & Schierup 2018).

BackgroundFunctional MRI (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique for the study of brain function that utilizes changes in blood flow and volume accompanying brain activation. When neuronal activation occurs, local blood flow increases, leading to an increase in oxygenated blood. The different magnetic properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood yields signal changes in the MRI images. This effect i

This master’s degree project, carried out within 20 weeks of the spring term 2012 within Lund University’s School of Industrial Design was started with an unconventional topic of sexual health and design which quickly specified itself into Sexual health and Adolescence. The view point of the research was focused on Finnish society and its youth. Trough professional literature, interviews and discu
Aim: We investigated the association between levels of leisure-time physical activity and vascular stiffness in a longitudinal observational study from a representative Swedish population. Method: A total of 2816 randomly selected individuals were examined at visit 1 (2002–2005, Men = 1400). After a mean follow-up of 9.7 ± 1.4 years, a representative sample of 1327 of the original participants wer

Background. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in use of antenatal care in a multi-ethnic population in Malmo, Sweden, over a 4-year period. Age, parity, cohabiting status, use of an interpreter, and tobacco-use were examined to assess the potential effects of confounding factors. Methods. A 4-year (2000-2003) retrospective community-based register study was performed. Low-risk s
Recent years have seen many changes to the library field, not least when it comes to acquisitions. Internationally, the concept of letting library users take part in the acquisition process has developed over the past 30 years, from looking at inter-library loan applications as purchase requests to systems such as Patron-Driven Acquisitions (PDA). In a Swedish context, user influence has long been
Ashbya gossypii is a homothallic, flavinogenic, filamentous ascomycete that starts overproduction of riboflavin and fragments its mycelium quantitatively into spore producing sporangia at the end of a growth phase. Mating is not required for sporulation and the standard homothallic laboratory strain is a MATa strain. Here we show that ectopic expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MATα2 in A. gossAshbya gossypii is a homothallic, flavinogenic, filamentous ascomycete that starts overproduction of riboflavin and fragments its mycelium quantitatively into spore producing sporangia at the end of a growth phase.

Ongoing pollinator declines threaten the production of many entomophilous crops. Recent reports that yields of animal-pollinated crops in India are increasing less than pollinator-independent ones suggest the occurrence of pollen limitation. We experimentally evaluated if production of the common food crop chilli benefits from insect pollination and if crop production is constrained by lack of pol
