Agricultural intensification has led to the homogenization of the landscape and the disappearance of diverse habitats with rich flower resources that are important for pollinating insects. The main insect pollinators, by far, are bees. And while honey bees (Apis mellifera) are the best known, there are also hundreds of other species of bees that contribute to pollination services. Due to their for
Syftet med denna uppsats är att kritiskt granska ändamålen med nämndemän för att ta reda på om dessa är välgrundade. Syftet är vidare att undersöka om några önskvärda förändringar kan göras för att uppnå ett mer ändamålsenligt system. Den rättsdogmatiska metoden har tillämpats för att klargöra för det nuvarande systemet med nämndemän samt om regleringen kring systemet borde förändras. Framförallt The aim of this essay is to critically examine the values of laymen in court to find out if these are justified. Furthermore, the purpose is to see if any desirable changes could be made to achieve a system more conform with the intentions of laymen. The essay has been written through a method that allows legally accepted sources to be used to clarify the Swedish system with laymen and whether the
Roots play a key role in terrestrial carbon and water cycles, and therefore for the global climate system. They mediate plant evapotranspiration, influence photosynthetic processes and are responsible for atmospheric carbon transport into the pedosphere. Fine roots, in particular, are chiefly regulating water and nutrient uptake. Recent research has suggested that the representation of fine roots
I en tid där den sino-europeiska handeln ökar snabbt, stiger även antalet juridiska tvister. Det finns få saker som är så skrämmande som att funktionera i en obekant miljö. Med anledning av detta undersöker och jämför denna uppsats varumärkeslagstiftningen och –skydden i EU och Kina, med särskild hänsyn till de problem som västerländska kommersiella aktörer förväntas bemöta i samband med inträde pIn an era where Sino-European trade is increasing rapidly, the number of legal disputes is on the rise. There are few things as frightening as operating in an unfamiliar environment. For this reason, this thesis examines and compares the systems of trademark law and protection in the EU and China, with special regard to problems commonly encountered by western commercial actors in their entrance o
Popular Abstract in Swedish Humana neutrofiler är vita blodkroppar med den kortaste livslängden. Varje dag frisätts det miljoner neutrofiler från benmärgen till blodet. Från blodbanan är neutrofiler de första celler som anländer och samlas i en infekterad vävnad. Neutrofiler är mest kända för deras anti-mikrobiella funktion. Dessa celler är rustade med olika proteiner för att kunna hitta och döda The human neutrophil is the most abundant granulocyte and the major type of cell involved in an acute inflammatory response. Neutrophils are armed with various systems of enzymes, that can find and kill pathogens, but unfortunately, these "weapons" cannot distinguish between the host tissues and the "invaders." Therefore, an extensive neutrophil reaction leads to continuous release of toxic metabo

Context. NGC 4815 is a populous similar to 500 Myr open cluster at R-gc similar to 7 kpc observed in the first six months of the Gaia-ESO Survey. Located in the inner Galactic disk, NGC 4815 is an important potential tracer of the abundance gradient, where relatively few intermediate age open clusters are found. Aims. The Gaia-ESO Survey data can provide an improved characterization of the cluster
Purpose: This study explores how people account for their translation, negotiation and shaping of environmentally relevant practices as information practices in their everyday life during the holidays and asks further how these narratives can be seen as accounting for situated information practices. It focuses on how summer guests holidaying in southern Sweden talk about how they connect different
När ett företag vill bedriva en miljöfarlig verksamhet krävs det att de beviljas ett tillstånd för verksamheten i enlighet med miljöbalken (1998:808). När systemet för tillståndsprocessen sattes i bruk var lagstiftaren tvungen att göra flera avvägningar, bland annat mellan nyttan för miljön och ekonomin. Tillståndsprocessen ger myndigheter och domstolar chansen att granska verksamheten. Den ger ocWhen a company wants to create a new business that can be regarded as harmful for the environment, the company in question must apply for a permit in accordance with the Swedish Environmental code (1998:808). The legislator, when creating this process of applying for a permit, had to balance multiple different interests. Some of these interests include the environment and the economic aspect. This
The expansion of biotechnology applied to agriculture has drastically changed traditional farming in recent decades. New plant varieties and techniques developed by life-science corporations guarantee more efficiency than traditional methods at relatively low costs. This feature resulted in many biotech creations (such as GM plants) being rapidly adopted by countries with agriculture-based economi
The world today faces many different environmental problems, which has a negative effect. These are both global, regional and local, which means that they affect all people. To be able to overcome this and be able to promote a long-term sustainability, it is essential that all contribute and take responsibility for it. An example of doing this is to get more people to commute rather than using the
Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiotracers such as [18F]PSMA-1007 used with positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is promising for initial staging and detection of recurrent disease in prostate cancer patients. The block-sequential regularization expectation maximization algorithm (BSREM) is a new PET reconstruction algorithm, which provides higher image
OBJECTIVES: There is highly suggestive evidence for an effect of air pollution exposure on dementia-related outcomes, but evidence is not yet present to clearly pinpoint which pollutants are the probable causal agents. The aims of this study was to assess the longitudinal association between exposures of fine ambient particulate matter (PM2.5) from residential wood burning, and vehicle exhaust, wi

Objective/background: Mycotic aortic aneurysms are rare, life threatening, and complex. This nationwide study aimed to assess outcome after repair of mycotic thoracic aortic aneurysms (MTAAs). Methods: Patients treated in Sweden for MTAAs between 2000 and 2016 were identified in the Swedish vascular registry (2010–16) and local patient registries (2000–09). Primary outcome was survival, and second
Long-term stability of endosseous implants depends on successful bone formation, ingrowth and adaptation to the implant. Specifically, it will define the mechanical properties of the newly formed bone-implant interface. 3D imaging during mechanical loading tests (in situ loading) can improve the understanding of the local processes leading to bone damage and failure. In this study, titanium screws
The present-day ocean-climate system configuration took shape during the Miocene Epoch. Toward the end of the epoch, in the late Tortonian at ca. 8.5 Ma, there was an exceptional event: collisional disruption of an >150-km-diameter asteroid, which created the Veritas family of asteroids in the asteroid belt. This event increased the flux of interplanetary dust particles rich in 3He to Earth and pr
Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread synthetic substances with various adverse health effects. A potential mechanism of toxicity for PFAS is via epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation. However, few studies have evaluated associations between PFAS exposure and DNA methylation among adults, and data is especially scarce for women. Furthermore, exposure to environmental po
Background: Activation delay in ischemic myocardium has been found to contribute to J-wave appearance and to predict ventricular fibrillation (VF) in experimental myocardial infarction. However, the role of ischemia-related repolarization abnormalities in J-wave generation remains unclear. Objectives: The objective of our study was to assess a contribution of myocardial repolarization changes to J
