Scatter-hoarding passerine birds have become a model system for research on spatial memory capacity. This research has focussed on two families, the Corvidae (crows, jays, nutcrackers, etc.) and the Paridae (titmice and chickadees). Corvids are considered to have highly developed cognitive skills that sometimes have been compared with the great apes. Even though pilfering, or stealing of caches ma

In this study, we demonstrate that an integrated approach, combining palaeolimnological records and limnological monitoring data, can increase our understanding of changing ecological patterns and processes in shallow lakes. We focused on recent regime shifts in shallow Lake Krankesjon, southern Sweden, including the collapse of the clear-water state in 1975 and its subsequent recovery in the late

This thesis aims to investigate the water balance, seasonality, and to speculate about the future of Great Salt Lake, Utah, and more specifically the south part of Great Salt Lake, during a study period ranging from 2004 to 2024. The reason this is important is because the lake is a keystone in the western United States and serves as an important food source for millions of migratory birds as well

Widespread vegetation changes have been evidenced by satellite-observed long-term trends over decades in vegetation indices (VIs). However, many issues can affect the derived VIs trends, among which the inherent difference between VIs calculated from the same input reflectance has not been investigated. Here, we compared global long-term trends in six widely used RED-NIR (near-infrared)-based VIs

Boreal forests emit terpenoid biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) that significantly affect atmospheric chemistry. Our understanding of the variation of BVOC species emitted from boreal ecosystems is based on relatively few datasets, especially at the ecosystem-level. We conducted measurements to obtain BVOC flux observations above the boreal forest at the ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observati

This study investigates isoprene emissions in a high-latitude Alpine tundra ecosystem, focusing on using near-field remote sensing of surface temperatures, the photochemical reflectance index (PRI) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and meteorological measurements to model these emissions. Isoprene is a key biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emitted by select plants, which c

10Be deposition in ice cores is widely used for solar reconstructions, but its interpretation is complicated by volcanic influences. Using the state-of-the-art aerosol-climate model ECHAM6.3-HAM2.3-SALSA2.0: 10Be, we assess the impacts of three major volcanic eruptions: Agung (1963), El Chichón (1982) and Pinatubo (1991). All eruptions enhance stratospheric 10Be sedimentation, increasing atmospher

Sharia har blivit ett hett ämne i debatten om huruvida Islam är förenligt med den moderna värld vi idag säger oss leva i eller ej. De samhällen där Islam är den dominerande religionen uppmanas att lägga Sharian bakom sig om de vill bli accepterade medlemmar i det internationella samfundet. Sharialagarna är till stor del baserade på Koranen men också på sunna – dvs. profeten Muhammeds vanor och relOver the last decade, Sharia has become an intense subject of discussion. Especially considering the laws compatibility with the modern society we now are claiming to live in. Countries, where Islam is the dominating religion, are encouraged to look past Sharia in order to become worthy members of the international congregation. Sharia is derived from two primary sources, the divine revelations se

This research aims to give a thorough look at the incidence, and evolution of occupational mismatch in the Spanish labor market from the 1990s till 2013. This is done by examining which parts of the labor market have been exhibiting this feature, and what the odds are of being mismatched, given individual characteristics. Two, large micro-data surveys were used; the Wage Structure Survey (WSS) and

I vårt mångkulturella samhälle tilldelas religionsfriheten stor betydelse. En fråga som förefaller aktuell inom detta område är huruvida skolavslutningar får anordnas i kyrkan eller inte. Ett flertal intressen kan bli aktuella när frågan behandlas och en avvägning mellan dessa måste ske. Tänkvärda aspekter att se till är förhållandet mellan religion och tradition samt intresseavvägningen mellan deFreedom of religion is a democratic value of great importance in our multicultural society. A question that is perceived to be important within this subject is whether or not graduation ceremonies are allowed to be held in churches. A number of interests may be of importance when this question is discussed and a levelling between the different interests is not uncommon. Important factors to look a

In the spring of 2018 a study by Stefan Sellbjer at Linnaeus University showed on one hand that several professors did not believe they could meet the school's knowledge requirements in their own subjects. Parents, on the other hand, thought that the knowledge requirements were so abstract and complex that they could no longer question their children about the homewor

Background: Gaming disorder (GD) is a new official diagnosis in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision, and with its recognition, the need to offer treatment for the condition has become apparent. More knowledge is needed about the type of treatment needed for this group of patients. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of a novel module-b

Purpose/Objective(s): To report the efficacy and utility of PSMA-based molecular targeted imaging in localized prostate cancer using 111In-J591 SPECT and 89Zr-J591 immuno-PET.Materials/Methods: Initiated in 2010, two sequential phase 0 prospective studies were performed on a total of 19 patients evaluating the roles of 111In-J591 SPECT and 89Zr-J591 immuno-PET. All patients had a baseline MRI foll
