Pollination is a key ecosystem service for global agriculture but evidence of pollinator population declines is growing. Reliable spatial modelling of pollinator abundance is essential if we are to identify areas at risk of pollination service deficit and effectively target resources to support pollinator populations. Many models exist which predict pollinator abundance but few have been calibrate

The eighteenth century saw the slow but steady rise of the middling classes to their nineteenth century social and cultural prominence, reinforced by a changing political landscape and the steadily increasing importance of the market. As the social and cultural power of the city burghers making up the majority of the middling classes grew, so did they start to consume in a manner to reflect to the

PURPOSE: Perceived Threat of the Risk of Graft Rejection (PTRGR) is prominent in organ transplant recipients' lives. When asked about what they fear most, the commonest response is graft rejection. A reasonable assumption is that this perceived threat is also relevant for heart recipients and involves various psychological reactions, such as efforts to cope with the perceived threat. There are no

AbstractThe epidemiological association between diabetes and heart failure is well-established and the two entities areemerging as global threats, both individually and synergistically, to an aging population. The exploration of multipleproteins can shed light on pathophysiological pathways in both diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This canpossibly provide novel diagnostic, prognostic and hopef

1. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and peptide YY (PYY) act at receptors referred to as Y1 and Y2, while the Y3 receptor is specific to NPY and does not recognize PYY. The effects of NPY, its related peptides and a series of newly constructed chimeric NPY-PYY peptides were examined on excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic currents (e.p.s.cs and i.p.s.cs, respectively) in rat dorsomedial nucleus tractus soli

Vi spenderar en tredjedel av våra liv sovandes och sömn är en avgörande faktor för god hälsa och välbefinnande. Men det är även viktigt att erkänna sömnens komplexitet, eftersom det är flera faktorer som kan påverka sömnen. Både biologiska, kontextuella och psykosociala faktorer har inverkan på ungdomarnas sömn. Otillräcklig sömn, sömnproblem och symptom på insomni är vanligt hos ungdomar. SömnlösInsufficient sleep, sleep problems and insomnia are common in adolescents, and insomnia and insufficient sleep are public health concerns that can impact adolescents’ mental and physical health. There are several different treatments for sleep problems and insomnia, and there is a great focus on the problem when it has already arisen. However, since this is a public health problem, it is important

The glymphatic system is a brain-wide solute clearance system that has developed in the brain to clear metabolic waste during sleep. This clearance is mediated by advective fluxes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) along perivascular spaces (PVS) and through the brain. The movement of CSF from the PVS and through the brain is dependent on the polarised expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) at astrocyte endfe

The aim of this study has been to investigate the self-diffusion behaviour in polymer solutions and in surfactant solutions using the pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR technique. The NMR self-diffusion experiment was shown to provide detailed information in complex surfactant mixtures. In particular, the microemulsion phase and the hexagonal phase of Didodecyldimethylammoniumsulphate (DDAS) formed

Knowledge of animal diets is fundamental in ecology as it can provide insight into the structure, function and resilience of entire ecosystems. In this study we investigate the diet composition of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), a small marine top predator with great ecological importance, to provide updated dietary estimates for the species in Swedish waters. This is done by parallel us

Framgången och kostnaderna för infrastrukturprojekt beror till stor del på tillförlitlig karakterisering av undermarken. Speciellt är information om grundvattnet avgörande för att skydda grundvattenresurserna och för att undvika stabilitetsproblem. För att fastställa de hydrogeologiska egenskaperna genomförs borrningar följt av hydrauliska tester som är tillförlitliga men dyra, och det ger endast The success and costs of infrastructure projects largely depend on reliable characterization of the subsoil, where information on groundwater is essential to protect groundwater resources and to avoid stability problems. To determine the hydrogeological characteristics, drilling is carried out followed by hydraulic tests which are reliable but expensive and provide limited information which, in so

The oxygen content of ancient seawater has been hypothesized to be a major controlling factor for biodiversity throughout Earth's history. The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) represents one of the largest increases in biodiversity during the Phanerozoic, with peak rates of diversity occurring in the Middle–Late Ordovician. Multiple causal factors have resulted in this long-term ad

Aims: The role of resection remains debated in cases of metastatic gastric carcinoma (mGC). Some mGCs are technically resectable. At the population level, the real-world application of resection for mGC remains largely unclear in most Western countries. This large, population-based international investigation aimed to reveal the resection patterns and trends for mGC and the treatment-associated fa

It has at times been a debate among media and legislators about the Swedish police officers dis-cretionary application and great room for interpretation when dealing with the Swedish act: the Act (1976:511) on arrest of intoxicated people, etc. (our translation) which in Swedish is short-ened: LOB. It has also been comments on the law's primary care purpose, which is strongly em-phasized in th

Bentiska foraminiferer används i stor utsträckning för miljöövervakning, t ex i kontext med syrebrist i kustnära vatten, vilket är det snabbast växande och mest allvarliga hotet mot marina ekosystem. Ett flertal studier har visat att många foraminiferarter har förmåga till överlevnad, förökning och biomineralisering under förhållanden med syrebrist (hypoxi) och till och med under helt syrefria förBenthic foraminifer a are extensively used for environmental monitoring, for example in the context of oxygen depletion in coastal waters, which is the fastest growing and most serious threat to marine ecosystems. Several studies have demonstrated that many foraminiferal species are able to survive, reproduce and calcify under hypoxic (low dissolved oxygen) and even anoxic (no oxygen) conditions.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att kartlägga och studera förekomsten av föreslagna namnändringar och inofficiella namn inom detaljplanelagt område i kommunerna, hur dessa hanteras samt med stöd av de vunna kunskaperna och erfarenheterna försöka dra slutsatser som kan leda till en förbättrad urban namnhantering i framtiden. Metoderna som används i examensarbetet är: litteraturstudier (böcker, artiklaThe aim of this Master of Science thesis is to study the frequency of geographical renaming and unofficial names among Sweden’s urban place-names and to provide knowledge to those who work with urban place-names. The methods used: literature studies, case studies, interviews and a questionnaire directed at place name officials from a selection of Sweden’s municipalities. Conclusion: The official u

This thesis consists of the development of a concept for a new product, the primary purpose of which is to quickly and easily attach legally required tags to the ears of livestock pigs. The project was undertaken at Attention, a product development company based in Copenhagen. For reasons of food safety, EU regulation stipulates that all pigs that are moved from their place of birth must be tagged

Företagsförvärv är en stor del av vårt näringsliv och har varit det sedan sent 1800-tal efter industrialiseringen. Ett företag byter ägare, en sammanslagning sker eller en verksamhet läggs ner. Resultaten kan vara många och det påverkar samhället i stort likväl som individer. Företagsförvärv delas upp i olika kategorier, vilket möjliggör stor variation, varje förvärv är unikt. I denna uppsats beröM&A is a large part of our business sector and has been since the late 1800s after the industrialization. A company changes owners, a merger takes place or a business is closed. The results can be many and it affects society as a whole as well as individuals. M&A is divided into different categories, which allows for great variation and each acquisition being unique. This thesis focuses on
