Abstract Individuals within species often show a consistent differences in their risk-taking behavior. I investigated whether intra-specific variation in risk-taking behavior is adaptive, i.e. if it stems from the life history strategy differences between individuals. As a result of life history trade-offs, individuals vary in their investment into survival and reproduction, such that some indivi

Den svenska stiftelsen är av mycket gammalt ursprung, och idag ryms flera vitt skilda stiftelsetyper inom stiftelsebegreppet. Bland dessa utmärker sig den näringsdrivande stiftelsen. Trots att stiftelsen inte är en association kan den bedriva näringsverksamhet, antingen direkt genom stiftelsen, eller indirekt via näringsdrivande dotterbolag. Under det senaste halvseklet har den näringsdrivande stiThe Swedish foundation (Sw: stiftelse) is of old origin, and today the concept comprises several different types of foundations, among which the enterprise foundation stands out. Though the foundation is not a form of business entity, it can still carry out commercial activities, either directly through the foundation in its own name, or indirectly via subsidiary companies. During the last half-ce
Ett hatbrott är något utöver andra brottsliga gärningar. Hatbrott bygger på sociala kategoriseringar i negativ bemärkelse, där gärningspersonens upp-fattning om rättsskyddsubjektet som normbrytande leder till ett brottsligt angrepp. Sociala kategoriseringar speglar bakomliggande samhällsstrukturer, och gärningen drabbar indirekt hela den grupp som individen anses tillhöra. Den här uppsatsen syftarHate crimes are predicated on different motives than ‘other’ criminal offenses. Hate crimes are based on social categories in a negative sense, where the offense is committed due to the perpetrator’s prejudice or bias against a group of people. This type of prejudice reflects underlying social structures. This thesis aims primarily to investigate and review hate crime as a legal construction in a
Frågan om hur skuld ska bedömas då en person som varit tillfälligt sinnesförvirrad begår en straffbelagd handling är ett klassiskt straffrättsligt problem. I detta arbete undersöks hur den svenska rätten ser på när förvirringstillståndet beror på en berusning, närmare bestämt hur straffansvaret ser ut vid självförvållat rus. Här presenteras olika tolkningar som framförts i doktrinen både i de legeThe issue of how legal liability should be assessed when a temporarily insane person commits a punishable offense is a classical problem within criminal law. How the Swedish law regards a state of confusion caused by intoxication will be examined in this thesis. More specifically what is the criminal liability regarding self-induced intoxication? Different interpretations expressed both in de lege
Denna uppsats analyserar hur synen på straffets ändamål kommer till ut- tryck i Straffreformutredningen (SOU 2025:66 En straffreform). Syftet är att undersöka vilka straffteoretiska principer som får störst genomslag i utred- ningen och dess tillhörande direktiv, samt vad denna riktning reflekterar för grundläggande föreställningar om straffets funktion. Särskilt fokus ligger på hur straff, i synnThis thesis analyses how the purpose of punishment is articulated in ”Straff- reformutredningen”(the report for the proposed criminal law reform in Swe- den, SOU 2025:66). The aim is to examine which penal theories gain the greatest influence in the report and what this direction reflects in terms of underlying conceptions of the purpose of punishment. Particular attention is paid to how punishmen
China is an extraordinary country; in the last 30 years the economic development has moved forward in an almost impossibly high and even speed. The GDP has grown with an annual average of ten percent and placed the Chinese economy among the top three largest economies in the world. But while the economic development keep racing ahead, the democratic development has slowed down and is now standing
This thesis consists of five papers concerned with the modeling of stochastic signals, as well as deterministic signals in stochastic noise, exhibiting different kinds of structure. This structure is manifested as the existence of finite-dimensional parameterizations, and/or in the geometry of the signals' spectral representations. The two first papers of the thesis, Papers A and B, consider the m
Background: It is well known that women suffer from negative consequences following breast cancer (BC) treatment and that their largely varying needs for rehabilitation are often unmet. Up to 43% of these women are at risk of developing chronic distress requiring complex interventions; however, how to early identify and meet these women's needs is unknown, leaving them with suboptimal chances of r
The dynamical stability of tightly packed exoplanetary systems remains poorly understood. While a sharp stability boundary exists for a two-planet system, numerical simulations of three-planet systems and higher show that they can experience instability on timescales up to billions of years. Moreover, an exponential trend between the planet orbital separation measured in units of Hill radii and th
The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate and problematize the Swedish Teacher Unions’ use of the concept of professionalism within the political negotiation of how to ascribe meaning and content to the idea of teacher professionalism within contemporary Swedish education debates. Departing from two recent educational reforms – the certification of teachers and the reformation of teacher
Satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), a proxy of vegetation productivity, is known to be correlated with temperature in northern ecosystems. This relationship, however, may change over time following alternations in other environmental factors. Here we show that above 30°N, the strength of the relationship between the interannual variability of growing season NDVI and te
The dryer fabric influences the mass and heat transfer, separating the hot, moist paper from the ambient drying air. A dynamic model is presented describing this mass and heat transfer in a dryer fabric based on the fabric parameters: effective diffusivity, porosity, tortuosity, calliper, effective permeability, thermal conductivity and basis weight. The model predicts moisture, temperature and pr
Popular Abstract in Swedish None.This thesis presents numerical investigations and simulations of fixed bed combustion of wood, models for predicting thermal radiative properties of particles and gases related to the combustion of wood, and a review of heat load calculations in gas turbines. All subjects have a common factor in thermal radiation. One 2D and one 3D model were considered for the fixed bed combustion. The introducto
Multiple-quantum spin relaxation is a sensitive probe for correlated conformational exchange dynamics on microsecond to millisecond time scales in biomolecules. We measured differential H-1-N-15 multiple-quantum relaxation rates for the backbone amide groups of the E140Q mutant of the C-terminal domain of calmodulin at three static magnetic field strengths. The differential multiple-quantum relaxa
Protein dynamics on the microsecond-millisecond time scales often play a critical role in biological function. NMR relaxation dispersion experiments are powerful approaches for investigating biologically relevant dynamics with site-specific resolution, as shown by a growing number of publications on enzyme catalysis, protein folding, ligand binding, and allostery. To date, the majority of studies
This paper contains a joint ESHG/ASHG position document with recommendations regarding responsible innovation in prenatal screening with non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). By virtue of its greater accuracy and safety with respect to prenatal screening for common autosomal aneuploidies, NIPT has the potential of helping the practice better achieve its aim of facilitating autonomous reproductive
The effect of gamma irradiation (60Co) with doses of 5–30 kGy on the amylose–lipid complex transition and retrogradation occurring in gels containing ca. 50% and ca. 20% wheat starch was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) during heating–cooling–heating cycles (up to three cycles). Transition of the amylose–lipid complex occurs in all the irradiated samples at a lower temperature as
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förändring av kroppsprotein hos cancerpatienter under behandling Bakgrund Det är välkänt att patienter med cancer ofta drabbas av nedsatt aptit, viktminskning, orkeslöshet och ämnesomsättningsrubbningar under sin sjukdom. Denna samlade symptombild kallas kakexi. Detta tillstånd minskar toleransen för olika behandlingar, som cytostatika- och strålbehandling, försämrar The purpose of this study was to investigate how total body protein and its fraction of body weight (body protein fraction) change in cancer patients during different anti-tumor treatments, and to see if these changes have any clinical significance in the form of prognostic value or correlation with disease course and tumor response. In 84 patients, 28 with lung cancer, 24 with gastrointestinal t
