Allochthonous arthropods can sustain a local food web on seemingly barren land, but are nevertheless often neglected in studies of community assembly. In the present study, we investigated primary food web assembly on nunataks (ice-free areas) in a retreating glacier in Iceland. Nunataks enable studies that take into account both the temporal factor of the assembly and the influx of allochthonous
Predicting click-through rates (CTR) is essential for optimizing the effectiveness of mobile advertising campaigns, where accurate prediction of user interactions can significantly enhance revenue generation and ad targeting strategies. This thesis investigates the efficacy of different predictive models, using a dataset composed of impressions and interactions with mobile ads. The models examined
The biologically important grasslands of today have due to last century’s major changes in land use often been reduced to small, geographically isolated fragments. The low level of habitat connectivity in fragmented landscapes, prevents dispersal of organisms and is considered to be a great threat to biodiversity. In this study the impact of connectivity on the abundance of 6 species of grassland
Nearly one third of the global food is wasted. Microbial spoilage is a major factor in food waste, and it can happen at any point along the supply chain. Greenhouse grown English long cucumbers, one of the most important vegetable crops grown in Europe, were studied for weight changes and the presence of microbiological populations during the shelf life in this project. The main methods used in th
Deep metabarcoding offers an efficient and reproducible approach to biodiversity monitoring, but noisy data and incomplete reference databases challenge accurate diversity estimation and taxonomic annotation. Here, we introduce a novel algorithm, NEEAT, for removing spurious operational taxonomic units (OTUs) originating from nuclear-embedded mitochondrial DNA sequences (NUMTs) or sequencing error
Objective— Atherosclerosis is associated with an immune response against oxidized LDL, which modulates the progression of the disease process. Methods and Results— Using a library of polypeptides covering the complete sequence of apoB-100, the only major protein of LDL, we have identified over 100 different human antibodies reacting against aldehyde-modified apoB-100 sequences. IgM antibody titer
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes är en grupp sjukdomar som alla kännetecknas av en förhöjd nivå av sockerarten glukos i blodet. Antalet individer som drabbas av diabetes ökar hela tiden, en utveckling som ses över hela världen. Bara i Sverige har drygt 5% av befolkningen diagnosen diabetes, motsvarande 484.400 personer i åldern 20-79 år. Typ 2 diabetes är den vanligaste formen av diabetes, ochThe incidence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, with the most prevalent form being type 2 diabetes. Two fundamental processes contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes: insulin resistance in target organs and insufficient insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cells. The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of DNA methylation and common genetic variation on glucose metabolism a
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has been associated with increased mRNA expression of FADS2 in the liver and estimated activity of delta-6 desaturase in serum, encoded by the FADS2 gene. Since DNA methylation in the FADS1/2/3 gene cluster has been previously linked with genetic variants and desaturase activities, we now aimed to discover factors regulating DNA methylation of the CpG
PowerPoint-presentation Lund university | sweden Why Sweden and Lund University? When applying for studies abroad, there are several costs you must consider. 1 From the mountains of the mighty north, to the white sandy beaches of the temperate south. So what do you know about Sweden, besides it not being Switzerland? There are not that many people in Sweden. Around 10 million. Likely some of you a

The binuclear title complex, [Zn2(C33H33N6O)(CH3COO2)(CH3OH)](ClO4)2, was synthesized by the reaction between 2,6-bis-({[bis-(pyridin-2-yl)meth-yl]amino}-meth-yl)-4-methyl-phenol (H-BPMP), Zn(OAc)2 and NaClO4. The two Zn(II) ions are bridged by the phenolate O atom of the octadentate ligand and the acetate group. An additional methanol ligand is terminally coordinated to one of the Zn(II) ions, re
This study uses Swedish accident data for the years 2004–2008 to analyze the relationship between injury severity for pedestrians struck by a vehicle and the speed environment at accident locations. It also makes use of a multinomial logit model and other statistical methods. Speed measurements have been performed at accident sites, and the results show that there was a relationship between the (1
(1) I explore the hypothesis that the water regime is one of the major determinants of the difference between bog and fen in Sphagnum mires because of its effects on the decay loss and the mass accretion rate. This article deals with the recent mass balance and water regime and the variation in mass accretion rate during the last millennium, studied at two mires in southern Sweden. (2) At one bog
Denna uppsats utgör undertecknads examensarbete vid juristprogrammet på Lunds universitet. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att utreda vad sekundosuccessorerna har för rätt och skydd genom den svenska lagstiftningen. Ur ett arvshistoriskt perspektiv har efterlevande make haft väldigt svaga rättigheter. Efterlevande makes och bröstarvingarnas intressen stod mot varandra. I början på 1900- talet ansThis essay represents the undersigned's master thesis at the Mastar of Law program at Lund University. The aim of the thesis is to investigate what legal rights and protection a secondary successor has under Swedish law. From an inheritance historical perspective, the surviving spouse had very weak legal rights. Surviving spouses and direct heirs had opposing interests. In the early 1900s th
The work in this thesis is meant to improve an existing algorithm described in Nystrup (2017). As the original model uses a normal distribution to approximate the daily logarithmic returns, the authors of this thesis aim to improve the approximation by using Student’s t-distribution which may be a better approximation of financial data. The algorithm uses a two state hidden Markov model to estimat
This thesis describes how software for automated bidding on for example auction sites could function. The thesis is divided into three parts. The elements are composed of: • Collecting bid data from the website that the auction is held on and pass the raw data to the main application for further processing. • A graphical presentation of the auction data is shown divided into individual auctions in
Uppsatsen behandlar lagen (2017:310) om framtidsfullmakter, dess bakgrund, innehåll och verkningar. Institutet framtidsfullmakt är tänkt att stärka den enskildes möjligheter att styra över sin framtid i fall av försämrad mental kapacitet. Upprättandet av en framtidsfullmakt ska ske då den enskilde har beslutskompetens men träder i kraft först efter att denna kapacitet har gått förlorad till följd This thesis revolves around the law (2017: 310) on continuing powers of attorney; its background, content and effects. The continuing power of attorney is intended to strengthen an individual's ability to control their future in cases of impaired mental capacity. In order to establish a continuing power of attorney, the individual must hold a decision-making competence. However, the act only c
Climate change is advancing the onset of phenological events, with the rate of advance varying among species and trophic levels. In addition, local populations of the same species may show genetic differences in their response to seasonal cues. If populations of interacting species differ in their response, then climate change may result in geographically varying shifts in the community-level dist
