Abstract We studied the effects of UV-A radiation and predatory fish on mantle pigmentation of freshwater snails Radix balthica. The results showed that UV radiation and fish chemical cue induce larger ratios of pigmented area on mantle, respectively and when combined. UV radiation and predatory fish chemical cue seem to affect mantle pigmentation independently. The ratios (0~100%) of pigmented ma
Uppsatsen behandlar möjligheten att införa vinstbegränsande bestämmelser i samband med offentlig upphandling av hälso- och sjukvårdstjänster. I syfte att fastställa huruvida en sådan åtgärd är förenlig med EU-rätten, undersöks dels vilket utrymme den upphandlande myndigheten har att uppställa ett krav om avsaknad av vinstsyfte vid tilldelningen av ett enskilt kontrakt, dels huruvida det är tillåteThis thesis explores the possibility of reserving public contracts for social services to non- profit operators. In order to determine whether such a measure is in compliance with current EU legislation, the study firstly examines if contracting authorities are entitled to apply a non- profit requirement when it comes to awarding the contract, and secondly inquires whether there is a possibility f
Abstract: Background: Breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer among women in Sweden. While the short- to mid-term survival chances are good, the long-term survival chances are poor, and a large number of women are also likely being overtreated and thus suffer from unnecessary side effects. The South Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network - Breast (SCAN-B) Initiative aims at improving breast ca
Huvudansvaret för barns fostran och vårdnad ligger hos föräldrarna. Trots detta så har samhället en skyldighet att träda in då en förälder inte kan full-följa sin vårdnadsplikt. Detta ansvar återfinns i den sociala barnavården. Mycket har hänt inom den sociala barnavården det senaste århundradet, delvis på grund av en förändrad syn på barn och inte minst har Förenta nationernas konvention om barneThe main responsibility for the child's upbringing and custody lies in the hands of the parents. However, society has an obligation to step in when the parents can´t fulfill their duty of care. This responsibility is called the child welfare. Much has happened in the area of child welfare during the last century, partly because of a changed view of the child, but also because the United Nation
Evaluations of the other culture is a strong force, not only in cultural dialogue but, consequently, in a culture’s formation of itself. Cultures are formed, as it were, in encounters that include domination, conflict, and dismissal as much as appreciation and smooth exchange. In this paper, the construction of cultural identity is discussed, in a study of a Scandinavian Theme Park proposal that w
Purpose: This study aims to identify antecedents to noncompliance behavior influenced by decision contexts where investments in time, effort and resources are devoted to a task – referred to as a task unlikely to be completed without violating the organization’s information security policy (ISP). Design/methodology/approach: An empirical test of the suggested relationships in the proposed model wa
Pharmaceutical packaging is linked to important demographic changes. Aging ofpopulations is one of the demographic changes which has called for more attention, especially in well-developed countries. The increase in life expectancy represents a positive consequence of years of research, development of medications, and improvement in life habits. In spite of that, the growth in the number of people
Purpose: A degenerative meniscus lesion is a slowly developing process typically involving a horizontal cleavage in a middle-aged or older person. When the knee is symptomatic, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy has been practised for a long time with many case series reporting improved patient outcomes. Since 2002, several randomised clinical trials demonstrated no additional benefit of arthroscop
At the last glacial maximum, vast ice sheets covered many continental areas. The beds of some shallow seas were exposed thereby connecting previously separated landmasses. Although some areas were ice-free and supported a flora and fauna, mean annual temperatures were 10-13degreesC colder than during the Holocene. Within a few millennia of the glacial maximum, deglaciation started, characterized b
Popular Abstract in Swedish I en alltmer konkurrenskraftig omvärld är det av störst vikt att i ett högkostnadsland som Sverige att innovera och utveckla produkter så effektivt som möjligt. För att uppnå dessa mål finns det klara indikationer på att våra nuvarande produktutvecklings- och konstruktionstillvägagångssätt saknar väsentliga egenskaper för att uppnå önskvärd effektivitet. Den frekvent mIn an industrial context when the product development cycles are shortened and constraints on technical innovations are high, it is very important to provide a very efficient and effective engineering design activity. In the current engineering design literature, most methodologies are by and large based on the so-called systematic engineering design approach. This approach is characterized by an
This article investigates verb placement, especially verb second (V2), in post-puberty L2 learners of two closely related Germanic V2-languages, Swedish and German. Håkansson, Pienemann & Sayehli (2002) have adduced data from L1 Swedish-speaking learners of German in support of the claim that the syntactic property of V2 never transfers from the L1 to L2 interlanguage grammars. Regardless of L

Given a directed graph as input, we show how to efficiently find a shortest (directed, simple) cycle on an even number of vertices. As far as we know, no polynomial-time algorithm was previously known for this problem. In fact, finding any even cycle in a directed graph in polynomial time was open for more than two decades until Robertson, Seymour, and Thomas (Ann. of Math. (2) 1999) and, independ
Fuel cells are promising for future energy systems, since they are energy efficient and, when hydrogen is used as fuel, there are no emissions of greenhouse gases. Fuel cells have during recent years various improvements, however the technology is still in the early phases of development. This can be noted by the lack of a dominant design both for singe fuel cells, stacks and for entire fuel cell
The thesis is about how students can learn to use argumentation and the processes of giving responses in a web-based setting, as a tool for individual and collective learning. The thesis comprises three studies, which examine and describe how 70 distance students develop an individual and collective competence to provide feedback, critically evaluate and argue in the context of a web-based learnin
It is often a challenge for a child to communicate their pain, and their possibilities to do so should be strengthened in healthcare settings. Digital self-assessment provides a potential solution for person-centered care in pain management and promotes child participation when a child is ill. A child's perception of pain assessment differs when it is assessed using digital or analog formats. As w
BackgroundThe geometrical relationship between atrial and ventricular short‐axis cross‐sectional area determines the hydraulic forces acting on intracardiac blood. This is important for diastolic filling. In patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTx), the left atrium is often enlarged as a result of the standard surgical technique. We hypothesized that diastolic filling in HTx patients is aff
