Individual energy turnover rates can vary remarkably, even within a species. In this thesis I study the causes and consequences of this pronounced variation and show that individual energy turnover rates can be affected by a large number of factors. I here show that both the early conditions during the incubation period and prenatal levels of the hormone testosterone can have consequences on indiv
The removal and neglect of climate policies - a process known as climate policy dismantling (CPD) - both nationally and internationally, is a growing field of critical climate research that has significant implications for long-term climate adaptation globally. Climate activists on social media have the potential to be both influential and representative of wider CPD discourse, and so provide an i
This thesis examines how individuals form and enact political vegan identity through everyday practice, and the role digital media platforms play in mediating that process. Drawing on 12 semi-structured interviews with vegan participants across 4 groups defined by age and length of vegan practice – New Sprouts, Early Roots, Late Bloomers, and The Oakes – the study traces the specific processes thr
Abstract Title: When Thinking-Outside-The-Box becomes the Box - Deconstructing the Paradox of Creative Freedom and Organizational Control Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change Authors: Katharina Ljung, Ronja Gabriela Maier Supervisor: Stephan Schaefer (PhD) Purpose: This study examines whether the relationship between creative freedom and organizational contro
Introduction Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) mainly affects elderly men, grows slowly, and carries high mortality if left untreated, as rupture risk increases with larger diameters. AAA is well suited for screening due to its slow progression, long latent phase, reliable diagnostics, and established treatments. The primary aim of this thesis was to assess whether absolute infrarenal aortic diamete
Birds migrate across the globe on their wings, a behavioural adaptation that allows birds to exploit seasonal environments. Their migrations are ultimately influenced by their ability to fly, a costly but high energy-efficient mode of locomotion that enables birds to travel far distances in a short amount of time. This thesis investigates bird migration from a flight energetic perspective, focusin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Gastroesofageal refluxsjukdom är ett tillstånd som kännetecknas av att magsyra åker upp i matstrupen (reflux). Reflux är ett normalt fenomen som förekommer hos alla individer utan att orsaka symtom eller vävnadsskador. Hur detta normaltillstånd utvecklas till ett sjukdomstillstånd är ej helt klarlagt. Reflux förhindras normalt av en barriär vid övergången mellan matstruThere is a persisting controversy concerning the definition, etiology and pathogenesis of Barrett's esophagus. The dramatic and parallel increase in the incidence of esophageal and junctional adenocarcinoma over the past decades justifies an evaluation of the pathophysiology of premalignant metaplastic changes of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction. Patients were evaluated with upper G
In a recent paper,(1) we investigated how the interaction between two adsorbing surfaces in a polymer solution responds to changes of the intrinsic stiffness of the polymer chains. We demonstrated that as the chain rigidity is increased, starting from the fully flexible limit, a free energy barrier develops. In this work, we shall continue our studies of semiflexible polymers but focus on the othe
Background The aim of this review article is to examine the evidence in the literature with regard to the safety of exercise in pregnancy. Material and Methods A literature search revealed fourteen randomised controlled trials which were systematically reviewed. The outcome measures looked at were both short and long term consequences of training in healthy pregnant women. Results The methodo
A systematic review of radiation therapy trials in several tumour types was performed by The Swedish Council of Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). The procedures for evaluation of the scientific literature are described separately (Acta Oncol 2003; 42: 357-365). This synthesis of the literature on radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is based on data from 4 meta-analys
Environmental manipulation experiments showed that species respond individualistically to each environmental-change variable. The greatest responses of plants were generally to nutrient, particularly nitrogen, addition. Summer warming experiments showed that woody plant responses were dominant and that mosses and lichens became less abundant. Responses to warming were controlled by moisture availa
We present a new methodology, which we call Single Pair of Observations Technique with Eddy Covariance (SPOT-EC), to estimate regional-scale surface fluxes of 222Rn from tower-based observations of 222Rn activity concentration, CO2 mole fractions and direct CO2 flux measurements from eddy covariance. For specific events, the regional (222Rn) surface flux is calculated from short-term changes in am
Asthma patients who continue to experience symptoms despite taking regular inhaled corticosteroids represent a management challenge. Leukotrienes play a key role in asthma pathophysiology, and since pro-inflammatory leukotrienes are poorly suppressed by corticosteroids it seems rational to add a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) when a low to moderate dose of inhaled corticosteroids does not
Problem Definition The TV landscape is changing, with technological progress the industry is moving to become a more personalised experience, where the consumer can choose what to watch and when. The entrance of on-demand video services and piracy are rewriting the way people consume their favourite series and movies, which opens up a new market with new opportunities. This new market is one where
Popular science summary Is the European hake “shrinking” under the current fishing practices? Did you know that the current fishing practices have caused significant declines in body size of many exploited fishing stocks? This effect of fishing management has become one of the major threats for commercially exploited fish species and it can have severe negative consequences for the offspring of
År 2015 meddelades en dom från Högsta domstolen som medförde att sexualbrott inte längre ses som egenhändiga brott. Ett sexuellt övergrepp kan således begås på distans, där offret utför den sexuella handlingen på sig själv. Våren 2016 prövades i tingsrätt frågan om även våldtäkt mot barn kunde begås på distans. Övergreppen bedömdes dock istället som sexuellt övergrepp mot barn. Uppsatsen syftar tiIn 2015 the Supreme Court announced that a perpetrator of a sexual offence no longer has to perform the sexual act in person to be held accountable for the deed. Thus, sexual assault can be committed when a child is coerced into performing a sexual act on themselves. During the spring of 2016 the question whether a perpetrator, based on the statement from the Supreme Court, could be held responsib
