Popular Abstract in Swedish Nattfjärilshannars beteenden och doftupplevelser i feromonplymer Denna skrift avhandlar mekanismerna bakom så kallad förvirringsbekämpning av skadegörande nattfjärilar med hjälp av deras sexualferomon. Nattfjärilar är egentligen en lite felaktig benämning på de fjärilar som inte är dagfjärilar. I Sverige finns det 116 arter dagfjärilar och mer än 2400 arter ’nattfjäriBehaviour of male moths and electrophysiological responses of male pheromone-specific olfactory receptor neurones were studied in two model species, the oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta and the turnip moth Agrotis segetum. The studies were aimed at elucidating the relative importance of different mating disruption mechanisms. In a wind tunnel study of G. molesta, behavioural response to a r

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: När udda blir mainstream - om stress och likriktning i växtsamhället I skogen råder stress på många sätt, och precis som i det mänskliga samhället har stressen i växtsamhället ökat under de senaste decennierna. Dessa händelser har heller inte skett oberoende av varandra. Vårt allt snabbare tempo med krav på ökad tillväxt har inte baSoil acidification has become a source of serious concern in many parts of the world. In southern Sweden, the deposition of acidifying substances, such as nitrogen and sulphur compounds, has decreased the mean pH of forest soils by almost one unit since the 1950s. Apart from H+ ions themselves being harmful to plant roots, the potential toxicity of aluminium (Al) is increased when pH drops below 5

Aim: To describe the use of mobility devices among people ageing with spinal cord injury (SCI), with a specific focus on use of powered mobility devices (PMD) and housing accessibility. Method: Data on the use of walking aids (cane, crutch/es or rollator), manual wheelchair and powered wheelchair/scooter were utilized. To describe functional limitations, environmental barriers and the magnitude of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Urininkontinens utgör ett stort socialt problem, framför allt hos den äldre befolkningen. Kliniskt är urininkontinens iakttaget i större omfattning hos kvinnor än hos män, men studier antyder männen är mer drabbade än vad nuvarande statistik gör gällande. Grundat på symptombild kan urininkontinens indelas i trängningsinkontinens, ansträngningsinkontinens samt överrinninNormal urine storage and bladder emptying are controlled by the central (CNS) as well as the peripheral nervous system. Dysfunction of these mechanisms can lead to urinary incontinence. Urinary tract dysfunctions have symptomatically been treated mainly with drugs acting peripherally. However, in the CNS, drug targets for pharmacological intervention may be found. The present study deals with effe

We report on the results of our recent theoretical and experimental investigations of a novel, room temperature electrical property of three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs). For a symmetric TBJ device, it is found that when finite voltages V-1 and V-r are applied in push-pull fashion, with V-1 = V and V-r = - V. to the left and right branches, the voltage output V-c from the central branch wil

In this work a compact fluorosensor has been built for point-monitoring and imaging applications. The instrument has been applied in fluorescence studies on green vegetation and on malignant tissue. The instrument is based on a violet diode laser, an integrated spectrometer and optical fibers for light delivery and collection of the fluorescence signal. This combination makes the system very compa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Klassiska såväl som moderna sociologer har hävdat att moralen förlorat sin sammanhållande funktion i samhället. Medan det förmoderna samhället präglades av en betydligt mer entydig moral, som upprätthölls i ljuset av en religiös och rättslig auktoritet, har det sen- eller postmoderna samhället rört sig mot en uppluckring av det gemensamma goda. Denna förändrade samhällsVoices from within the victim movement express a need for morality to have fixed boundaries between good and evil, right and wrong. However, such a morality is not always easy to define and uphold. It is thought important to consider the victims particular experiences, through another logic and morality than the strictly legally defined. This dissertation studies victim support as a moral definiti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodcirkulationen fungerar i kroppen som ett transport system för proteiner, syre och andra metaboliter. Blodet har den svåra uppgiften att vara flytande och samtidigt kunna koagulera på ställen där kärlet går sönder. Störning i denna balans leder till sjukdomar som hjärtinfarkt och blodpropp eller motsatsen svåra blödningar. Det protein som jag har studerat ingår vid The subject of this thesis is the activated protein C (APC)-mediated inactivation of factor Va. The activated form of factor V (FVa) is a procoagulant cofactor for Factor Xa (FXa) in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. The procoagulant function of FVa is down regulated by APC through proteolytic cleavage at three sites, Arg306, Arg506 and Arg679. The cleavage at Arg506 is kinetically favore

This paper attempts to address the failings of a predominant paradigm in IS research and practice that emphasises technological determinism. This paradigm makes use of a false belief in the power of rationality in organizational decision-making, and a mythology in which organizational actors can be viewed as passive ‘users’ of technology. We wish to create a discussion of the nature and role of pr

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, identification of new biomarkers for early diagnosis and detection will improve the clinical outcome of breast cancer patients. In the present study, we determined serum levels of vitronectin (VN) in 93 breast cancer patients, 30 benign breast lesions, 9 precancerous lesions, and 30 healthy individuals by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Sammanfattning Syftet med detta arbete är att utreda kopplingarna mellan fastighetsbildningslagen, plan- och bygglagen och jordförvärvslagen. Detta med inriktning på juridiska personers möjlighet att få bundenhet till mark i ett tidigt skede i en markexploateringsprocess. Syftet är också att utreda möjligheterna och konsekvenserna i de olika situationer som uppstår beroende på vilken lagstiftninThe purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility for a juristic person to acquire whole or part of a property in an early stage in the land exploitation process in Sweden. The study takes a closer look at the different approaches that a juristic person have at their disposal, one of them being the law called the Land Acquisition Act. The juristic or physical person can apply for an acqu

Skatteflykt, skatteundandragande och aggressiv skatteplanering av företag underminerar staters förmåga att respektera, skydda och uppfylla mänskliga rättigheter eftersom stater berövas nödvändiga resurser för att förverkliga ekonomiska, sociala och kulturella såväl som medborgerliga och politiska rättigheter. Företags skattebeteenden har tidigare betraktats som en elefant i rummet inom Förenta natCorporate tax evasion, tax avoidance, and aggressive tax planning undermine states’ ability to protect, respect and fulfill human rights since states are deprived of necessary resources to realize economic, social and cultural rights as well as civil and political rights. Corporate tax has previously been called the elephant in the room within the United Nations’ (‘UN’) framework of Business and H

We used the nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database to analyze the risk for nervous system tumors in offspring through parental and sibling probands. Among 0-68-year-old offspring, close to 11000 patients with a nervous system tumor were identified in years 1961 to 2000, among whom 199 had a parent diagnosed with a nervous system tumor. Brain tumors constituted 86% of all tumors, and astrocytoma

Second cancers were studied among 68,104 cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. A total of 1,113 patients received a diagnosis of second CRC; 25 of them had a family history of CRC. Cases of second CRC with a family history were diagnosed up to 10 years before sporadic cases. The relative risk (RR) of all second CRCs was 2.21 compared with the first CRC. Familial
