Popular Abstract in Swedish Växters artdiversitet i naturbetesmarker.Effekter av landskapsstruktur och habitathistoria. I min avhandling har jag undersökt växters artdiversitet i fragmenterade naturbetesmarker, av olika ålder och med olika historisk markanvändning. Jag har även undersökt betydelsen av habitatens isolerinsgrad i dagens och i det förflutna landskapet för dagens artdiversitet med häThe thesis examines the impact of present and past landscape structure, habitat history and management on different aspects of present-day plant species diversity in fragmented semi-natural grasslands in Sweden and in Estonia. Species diversity was significantly associated with present and/or past grassland connectivity in the majority of the studies in the thesis. However, relationships between d

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

Background: Women's fears and attitudes to childbirth may influence the maternity care they receive and the outcomes of birth. This study aimed to develop profiles of women according to their attitudes regarding birth and their levels of childbirth related fear. The association of these profiles with mode and outcomes of birth was explored.Methods: Prospective longitudinal cohort design with self

The global energy tendency leads to increasing attention on clean combustion technologies in order to eliminate adverse impacts on the environment. The utilization of oxyfuel combustion (CO2 acts as the only combustion dilution), flame diluents, and hydrogen fuel in gas turbine combustion provides a promising solution to reduce combustion pollutant emissions. However, alteration in chemical and ph

Background: Both bullying victimization and perpetration were associated with depression, social phobia, physical and psychological child abuse and Internet addiction in Lebanon. The prevalence of bullying in Lebanon is alarming, with 50% of school-aged children and adolescents reporting being bullied at some point. The high rate of both bullying victimization can be reflective of the inefficacy o

Mining, seen as a source of revenue in most developing countries, threatens seriously the environment. Mining impacts the water quality and one of the main problems of mining is acid mine drainage. Low pH and high concentration of heavy metals characterize acid mine drainage. When a stream is impacted by acid mine drainage both human activities and the ecological system are seriously affected. In

Non-bee pollinators (NBP) are a group of species with very diverse ecology. Indeed, they inhabitvarious habitats, using these as nesting sites, for shelter, as source of food and as huntingground for prey. Depending on the life stage of species, NBPs can inhabit different areas andtheir overall contribution to pollination can be diverse. For example, adult butterflies mainlyforage on nectar, where

Context. Until now, heavy interstellar extinction has meant that only a few studies of chemical abundances have been possible in the inner Galactic bulge. However, it is crucial to learn more about this structure in order to better understand the formation and evolution of the centre of the Galaxy and galaxies in general. Aims. In this paper, we aim to derive high-precision α-element abundances us

With the migration from traditional news media to social media, understanding how citizens learn about politics and current affairs from these sources has become increasingly important. The use of social networking sites has become fully integrated into the strategies of political parties. Visualizations of political communication are becoming increasingly available across a variety of platforms a

Hjärntumör inklusive glioblastom.Glioblastom är den vanligaste sortens hjärntumör bland vuxna och samtidigt den mest elakartade. Glioblastom drabbar cirka 550 personer årligen i Sverige. När tumören upptäcks är behandlingen först operation för exakt diagnos och med syfte att avlägsna så mycket som det går av tumören, utan att orsaka skada för patienten, annars görs en diagnostisk biopsi. StandardbAbstractBackground: Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor. Operation with maximal resection, if feasible, otherwise biopsy followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide is standard therapy. The prognosis remains poor, with median overall survival being 15 months despite therapy. Improved monitoring and treatment response assessment will be important when seeking to im

Water security offers to the local population an adequate quality and quantity of water for health, economy, livelihoods and ecosystems. Hence, achieving basic levels of water security should be a priority in areas where access to fresh water is scarce. The Punata alluvial fan (Bolivia) is a semiarid zone and an important agricultural zone, where the main source of water is groundwater. Therefore,

Aspects of labour market integration and employment strategies in relation to reasonable accommodation regulations and the individualised perspective of anti-discrimination legislation. In recent years an unquestionable shift towards disability anti-discrimination legislation can be observed in EC-law (see dir. 2000/78/EC) as well as in national legislations in many parts of the world. Disability

This paper explores monarchies through a corporate branding lens. It is based on extensive field interviewing of individuals with knowledge and experience in what we (not they) term “managing the Crown as a brand,” including senior members of the Swedish Royal Court and the Swedish Royal Family. It also draws from literature regarding monarchies across a range of disciplines beyond management; we

How useful are algorithms when studying the genetics of non-model organisms? Metamonada is a group of eukaryotic single-celled organisms called protists that live in different environments using varied metabolic pathways. One unifying characteristic of the supergroup is their incredibly functionally reduced mitochondria. This group of organisms is worth studying because they are a mixture of free

Att ta reda på hur och varför reaktioner sker molekyler emellan är ingen lätt uppgift. Ingen kamera är tillräckligt liten eller känslig (än) för att filma det som händer på molekylnivå. Istället behöver forskare genomföra experiment och samla stora mängder data för att få en bild av hur en reaktion går till, den så kallade reaktionsmekanismen. Att ta reda på reaktionsmekansimer ökar förståelsen föN-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is the most common form of sialic acid, a nine-carbon sugar often situated at the ends of glycoconjugates. Its unique reactivity makes it a complex substrate to work on, but new methods are continuously developed. In 2007, Ye et.al. reported a regioselective substitution by morpholine on position 4 of fully acetylated Neu5Ac, with retained stereochemistry. The anom

Utmärkande för aktiebolaget som associationsform är att varken aktieägare eller bolagsledning bär ett personligt ansvar för bolagets förpliktelser. Enbart bolagets egna tillgångar kan därför tas i anspråk för dess skulder. För att balansera det begränsade personliga ansvaret mot borgenärernas intresse av att få betalt för sina fordringar innehåller aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (ABL) bestämmelser soA characteristic feature of the limited liability company as a form of association is that neither shareholders nor directors of the board are personally liable for the company’s obligations. Only the company’s own assets can therefore be used to pay its debts. In order to balance the limited personal liability against creditors’ interest in receiving payment for their claims, Chapter 17 of the Sw

Lagrådet har en central roll i lagstiftningsprocessen. Granskningsinstansen utgör en viktig funktion i att bistå regering och riksdag med värdefulla juridisk tekniska kunskaper, så att god lagstiftning av hög kvalitet kan skapas. För att lagstiftningen ska anses som god bör den fullgöra sina övergripande funktioner, vilka kan sammanfattas som tillförsäkrande av en grundläggande trygghet i samhälle

Djurrätt är ett växande ämne som engagerar många. Denna uppsats handlar om djurrätt och specifikt om djurvälfärd i den svenska djurskyddslagen. Den 1 april nästa år träder en ny, historisk, djurskyddslag i kraft. Den nya djurskyddslagen är historisk eftersom lagstiftaren för första gången uttryckligen erkänner att djur har ett egenvärde samt understryker att god djurvälfärd är av relevans. UppsatAnimal rights law is a growing academic field that engages many people all over the world. This thesis deals with animal rights law and specifically with the Swedish legislation on the field. On the 1st of April 2019, a historic animal protection law will enter into force. The new animal protection law is historic since the legislator, for the very first time, specifically states that animals do

Huvudregeln för bestämmandet av hyran i svensk rätt är att hyran ska vara till beloppet bestämd av parterna i avtalet. Bestämmelsen återfinns i 12 kap. 19 § Jordabalken (1970:994). Som undantag till detta kan hyran för lokal antingen bestämmas genom en omsättningsklausul, genom klausuler för el, värme och vatten eller genom annan beräkningsgrund. Vid avtal som strider mot paragrafen framgår enligtThe main rule for determining the rent in Swedish rental law is that the rent shall be for the amount determined. The provision is found in the 12 chapter 19 § Jordabalken (1970: 994). As exceptions, the rent for a local can either be determined by a turnover clause, by electricity, heat and water clauses or by other calculation basis. In the event of an agreement that goes against the paragraph,

Svenska myndigheter betalar årligen ut ett stort antal ersättningar till enskilda runt om i landet. Det är oundvikligt att inte någon utbetalning blir felaktig. När så sker kan en beslutande myndighet meddela ett återkravsbeslut som förpliktigar en enskild att återbetala en utgiven ersättning. Att meddela ett återkravsbeslut är inte helt oproblematiskt utan kan bli föremål för domstolsprövning. EnA large number of Swedish citizens annually receive allowance by various Swedish authorities. It is inevitable that no such payment is inaccurate. If that would happen, a decision-making authority may issue a repayment decision that obliges an individual to repay the issued compensation. For various reasons such a decision can come under a court’s trial. An individual may consider the repayment de
