This study aimed to quantify and compare zooplankton feeding interactions in terms of diet composition, ingestion rate, and food size selectivity of a copepod (Acartia tonsa) and a cladoceran (Evadne nordmanni). This was achieved by surveying the grazing impact of A. tonsa and E. nordmanni on the natural phytoplankton, microzooplankton and microbial community occurring in autumn in coastal Skagera
More and more findings have been published showing that sedentary behavior is causing health hazards that can be independent of the effects from physical activity. Even if you go to the gym every day you might still suffer health effects from your otherwise sedentary life. Sicknesses as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and back pain are strongly related to the sedentary lifestyle. To instead

The energy system in Sweden is currently under a great transformation, where the part of weather dependent energy sources, so called intermittent sources, like solar and wind power will get greater share in the total production of electricity while the production from stable energy sources like nuclear power is decreasing. For a long time, the nuclear power have been operating at baseload and the
Genom freden i Roskilde 1658 kunde Sverige tillskansa sig det tidigare danska Skåne. Fredsavtalet garanterade skåningarna rätten till, bland annat, dansk lag och tidigare danska privilegier. Statens arbete mot uniformitet i provinsen, genom att försvenska området, tog dock sakta men säkert vid, och 1683 var arbetet utfört och uniformiteten införd. Huvudsyftet med uppsatsen har varit att klargöra vIn 1658, the former Danish region of Scania was ceded to Sweden due to the Treaty of Roskilde. The treaty also guaranteed the Scanian population its right to maintain their Danish law and retain their former Danish privileges. Despite this, the state soon started to work towards uniformity between Scania and Sweden by a process known as Swedification, a process which was completed in 1683. The mai
Sialic acids are a large family of acidic sugars. One of the most abundant is N-acetylneuraminic acid. Sialic acids are found at the terminal position of glycan chains of all cell types. Their wide distribution makes them have a broad set of biological functions, for example cell to cell interaction and communication. Bacteria can utilize sialic acid for two purposes; 1) as a source of carbon, nit
Syfte: Arbetets syfte var att undersöka hur medarbetare upplever deras chefers ledarskap och användning av olika grupper av påverkanstaktiker. Vidare var vi intresserade om detta påverkades eller modulerades något av chefernas egen ålder eller kön.

Furthermore, we were interested in researching if this was affected or modulated by either the boss’s gender or age. We further wanted to generate a deeper understanding how the relation between follower and boss and
The aim of this thesis is to study the differences between cut marks made of stone and metal tools on animal bones. The focus will be on four sites in southern Sweden from the time period Late Bronze Age to Pre-Roman Iron Age. There have been previous studies about cut marks and the differences between them, but only a few focus on the same question as in this thesis; when do you start to see a di
Optiskt stimulerad luminiscens, OSL, är en dateringsmetod som går att tillämpa på geologiska material med en ålder på ca 1 år-200 000 år. Dateringsmetoden grundar sig i att mineralkorn påverkas av naturlig, radioaktiv bakgrundsstrålning och därför ackumulerar energi inom sig, en process som endast sker under mörka/ svala förhållanden. Denna energi kan sedan frigöras genom att mineralkornet utsättsOptically stimulated luminescence, OSL, is a dating method applicable to geological material with an age of ca. 1 year-200 000 years. The dating method is based on the mineral grains reaction to natural, radioactive background radiation, and their ability to accumulate energy within themselves, a process that takes place continuously during dark/cool conditions. This energy may be released by subj

Over recent decades, use of insecticides to protect plants from pests and harmful insects have increased manyfold. Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as Imidacloprid (IMI) acts as partial agonists on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are widely present in both the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Pollinators like Eristalis tenax are frequently exposed to these pesticides but h
