The large-scale migration of birds has been studied extensively by recoveries of ringed birds. However, there is very little ringing data from the arctic breeding grounds of waders. Here, the migration pattern of the dunlin, Calidris alpina, is studied with population genetic markers, using haplotype frequencies to estimate the breeding origin of migrating and wintering populations. Polymerase cha
Våldtäkter i Sverige är ett fenomen som fått mycket belysning i media, men där det funnits ganska lite forskning om hur profilerna på de som begår brotten ser ut. Gärningsmannaprofilering har ett värde i att det kan hjälpa polisen avgränsa sökområdet, men profilering är också en disciplin inom forskningen där det funnits stora skillnader mellan olika länder. Därför är det viktigt att det bedrivs fRape is a criminal phenomenon that is widely recognized in Sweden, both journalistically and politically, but where research concerning the offenders' profiles is very sparse. Offender profiling is a valuable investigative tool which may help law enforcement limit their search parameters and prevent information overload. However, there are national disparities between crime scene actions and b
Since the early days of the transition process, the negative impact on the environment is very visible in Armenia. In this situation, there is an urgent need for coherent environmental policy, legislation, and institutional structure. It is particularly necessary for the municipal solid waste (MSW) management sector, which has been neglected for many years. In this context research has been carri
In the political world of today the discussion of Just wars are very present, since the international law and the UN Charter provides certain rules about when it is justified to go to war (jus ad bellum) and how a justified war should be conducted (jus im bello). The discussion about jus ad bellum and jus im bello derives from the theory of Just war. Both in international law and the Just war theo
Centre for Retail Research at Lund University ANNUAL REPORT | 2021 2 ANNUAL REPORT CENTRE FOR RETAIL RESEARCH AT LUND UNIVERSITY 2021 Introduction Centre for Retail Research – the eighth year For us, just as many others, 2021 was yet another special year. The coronavirus has challenged us in many ways. However, this year we were somewhat better prepared and well-versed in finding online solutions

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic constituted the largest global health crisis in recent generations. It may also have disrupted the pattern of antimicrobial use (AMU) and subsequently affected the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) – a grave human health concern. This study aimed to give an overview of existing AMR surveillance systems and evaluate the impact of
For many years, fascism in East Central and Southeastern Europe remained an overlooked aspect of the history of transnational and transatlantic fascism. This introduction provides a background on how this came to pass and why we should rethink this assumption. The introduction explains how the heterogeneity of East Central and Southeastern European fascism alters the general understanding of Europ
Current research offers very limited insights on the process of how the adoption and continued use of cloud sourcing might trigger and push the development of business model innovation and affect the competitive advantage of a firm. Applying an abductive approach, with two longitudinal case studies of cloud sourcing firms, and a theoretical framework based on stage-based models of business model i
Integrins are transmembrane receptors that activate signal transduction pathways upon extracellular matrix binding. The integrin-mediated adhesive complex (IMAC) mediates various cell physiological processes. Although the IMAC was thought to be specific to animals, in the past ten years these complexes were discovered in other lineages of Obazoa, the group containing animals, fungi, and several mi
Gene therapy approaches using viral vectors for the overexpression of target genes have been for several years the focus of gene therapy research against neurological disorders. These approaches deliver robust expression of therapeutic genes, but are typically limited to the delivery of single genes and often do not manipulate the expression of the endogenous locus. In the last years, the advent o
Background: To understand how the neuronal circuits in the brain process information there is a need for novelneuro-electronic interfaces that can interact chronically with brain tissue with minimal disturbance of thephysiological conditions in the tissue, in awake and freely moving animals. For this, there is a need for implantableneuro-electronic interfaces that are mechanically compliant with t
We report results from experiments where we characterize the surface properties of soot particlesinteracting with high-pressure methane. We find considerable differences in behavior of the soot materialbetween static and dynamic pressure conditions that can be explained by multiscale correlations inthe dynamics, from the micro to macro of the porous fractal-like carbon matrix. The measurements wer
Introduction Sierra Leone has the world's highest maternal mortality, partly due to low access to caesarean section. Limited data are available to guide improvement. In this study, we aimed to analyse the rate and mortality of caesarean sections in the country. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of all caesarean sections and all reported in-facility maternal deaths in Sierra Leone in 2016.
BACKGROUND Valid and reliable assessment of skills is essential for improved and evidence-based training concepts. In a recent study, we presented a novel tool to assess procedural skills in resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), REBOA-RATE, based on international expert consensus. Although expert consensus is a strong foundation, the performance of REBOA-RATE has not b
The present study was aimed at identifying genetic variants in susceptibility to childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) through replication and validation of polymorphisms selected from two genome wide association studies. The first part of the study was based on the replication of polymorphisms selected from a previously conducted genome wide scan using 50K DNA-SNP microarrays. 47 selected
Sepsis causes major morbidity and mortality worldwide. There is wide consensus that biomarkers have an important role in sepsis research and patient care. Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a neutrophil-derived, proinflammatory and vascular permeability-inducing protein and a promising novel sepsis biomarker. In this thesis, we investigate some aspects of the prognostic accuracy and added value of s
