Premise: Flower color, a key trait influencing plant–pollinator interactions, may be influenced by abiotic factors such as soil. We investigated association between pollinators, soil characteristics, and flower color variations in Digitalis purpurea across native populations in Sweden and introduced populations in Bolivia. Methods: We measured floral traits, reflectance of petals and nectar-guide
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
3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object discovered to date, following 1I/‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Its unusually high excess velocity and active cometary nature make it a key probe of the Galactic population of icy planetesimals. Understanding its origin requires its past trajectory through the Galaxy to be traced and the possible role of stellar encounters to be assessed, both as a potential or
Reconstructions and simulations disagree on whether the Holocene exhibited a long-term cooling or warming signal. Anthropogenic land-use could be an important forcing regionally, but available population-based estimates differ widely. We examine transient Holocene climate model simulations forced with three population-based disturbed-land reconstructions and compare this with a fourth scenario der
Incorporating time as a unit of analysis can enrich the study of agency by showing the specific ways in which actors are temporally constrained when responding to economic disturbances. In this paper, this is done by examining how the behavior of actors is affected by timing norms such as term limits that may be associated with an actor's position, as for example, an elected mayor or university vi
Vad hände med innebörden av ordet "otrygghet", ett ord med gamla svenska rötter och en tidigare etablerad innebörd, när det amerikanska forskningsfältet "Fear of Crime" introducerade i Sverige och översattes till "Otrygghet"? Syftet med denna avhandling är att beskriva trygghetsforskningens uppkomst, etablering och expansion i Sverige, i syfte att besvara frågor om forskningsdiskursens funktion, sThe purpose of this dissertation is to construct an historical account of the emergence, establishment, and expansion of fear of crime research in Sweden. This dissertation aims to answer questions about the function, spread, and high level of institutional engagement of fear of crime research by analyzing the literature and examining the methodological, theoretical, and epistemological origins of
Sweden has the largest forest cover in the European Union, and for decades, Sweden's forest industry has pursued intensive forest management through tree plantations and clear-cutting in order to maximize wood production. The Swedish forestry sector is increasingly under pressure to transition away from intensive clear-cut forest management, but other forest management models are still a niche in
Parser generators are an indispensable tool for rapid language devel- opment. However, they often fall short of the finesse of a hand-crafted parser, built with the language semantics in mind. One area where generated parsers have pro- vided unsatisfactory results is that of error recovery. Good error recovery is both natural, giving recovery suggestions in line with the intention of the programme
Rationale & Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem with increasing prevalence. Several sex-specific differences have been reported for disease progression and mortality. Selection and survival bias might have influenced the results of previous cohort studies. The objective of this study was to investigate sex-specific differences of CKD progression and mortality amo
In cold region, conceptual models assigned precipitation phase, liquid (rain) or solid (snow), cause vastly different atmospheric, hydrological, and ecological responses, along with significant differences in evaporation, runoff, and infiltration fates for measured precipitation mass. A set air temperature threshold (ATT) applied to the over 30% annual precipitation events occurring with surface a
Proteins evolve under a myriad of biophysical selection pressures that collectively control the patterns of amino acid substitutions. These evolutionary pressures are sufficiently consistent over time and across protein families to produce substitution patterns, summarized in global amino acid substitution matrices such as BLOSUM, JTT, WAG, and LG, which can be used to successfully detect homologs
I takt med digitaliseringen har det skett ett kommunikativt skifte som kräver de auktoritära myndigheterna att tänka om kring deras kommunikation. Idag har sociala medier öppnat upp möjligheten för myndigheter att skapa en lekfull och kreativ dialog med sina medborgare. Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att öka förståelsen för myndigheters kommunikation på sociala medier i relation till värdeskAs a result of the digitalization, there has been a communicative change that requires authorities to rethink their communication. Today, social media has allowed authorities the opportunity to converse in creative and playful dialogues with their citizens. This qualitative study aims to increase the understanding of government communication on social media in relation to value creation. A semioti
Examensarbetet jämför tre olika metoder för dimensionering av en spont. Syftet med arbetet är att utreda hur de valda beräkningsmetoderna inverkar på dimensionerande snittmoment och dimensionerande förankringskrafter samt att undersöka hur resultaten från de olika beräkningsmetoderna varierar vid ändring av ingående parametrar. De tre beräkningsmetoder som jämförs är den analytiska metoden från SThis master thesis compares three different methods for dimensioning a sheet pile wall. The purpose is to investigate how the chosen calculation methods affect dimensioning moments and anchoring forces in a sheet pile wall and to investigate how the results from the different calculation methods vary when changing the input parameters. The three calculation methods that are compared are the analy
The Mesopotamian Marshlands form one of the first landscapes where people started to transform and manipulate the natural environment in order to sustain human habitation. For thousands of years people transformed natural ecosystems into agricultural fields, residential clusters and other agglomerated environments to sustain long term settlement. Moreover, the Mesopotamian Marshlands, located in o

The right- left dimension is stronger in Sweden than in in most European countries, demonstrated by the distinct bloc division in Swedish politics. However, the political landscape is changing and new tendencies has been pointed out for Swedish municipalities. The amount of municipal executive committees with parties from both political blocs has steadily increased during the last legislative term
Regleringen av det yttrandefrihetsrättsliga ansvarssystemet har gett och fortsätter att ge upphov till komplicerade intresseavvägningar mellan å ena sidan friheten att yttra sig, och å andra sidan möjligheterna att beivra yttrandefrihetsbrott. Efter att det tidigare rättsläget beträffande en utgivares ansvar för databaspubliceringar uppmärksammats som olämpligt genomfördes en grundlagsändring somThe regulation of the freedom of expression liability system has given and continues to give rise to complex balances of interests between the freedom of expression on the one hand, and the possibilities of proving freedom of expression on the other hand. After the previous legal situation regarding a publisher's responsibility for database publications was recognized as inappropriate, a con
The gallium abundance in HgMn stars has been reported to be different for analyses conducted from spectral lines in the optical versus those from the ultraviolet. We pursue this ultraviolet-optical discrepancy from a line-blending perspective by investigating the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) spectrum of the sharp-lined HgMn binary star chi Lup. Its galli
