We compared the Q10 relationship for root-derived respiration (including respiration due to the root, external mycorrhizal mycelium and rhizosphere microorganisms) with that of mainly external ectomycorrhizal mycelium and that of bulk soil microorganisms without any roots present. This was studied in a microcosm consisting of an ectomycorrhizal Pinus muricata seedling growing in a sandy soil, and
The available knowledge on the mechanisms of a bioprocess system is central to process analytical technology. In this respect, mechanistic modeling has gained renewed attention, since a mechanistic model can provide an excellent summary of available process knowledge. Such a model therefore incorporates process-relevant input (critical process variables)-output (product concentration and product q
This study is the first to present evidence of the return to leisure sports in the job hiring process by sending fictitious applications to real job openings in the Swedish labor market. In the field experiment job applicants were randomly given different information about their type and level of leisure sports. Applicants who signaled sports skills had a significantly higher callback rate of abou
Problem discussion: The process of paper production includes numerous steps from that a customer order is received to that a finished product is delivered to the customer. A desire exists at Holmen Paper to be able to ease and improve the complex operational methods through the use of computer-aided simulation. Based on the reasoning above the problem to solve in this master thesis is to resolve w
Remittances are getting wider attention in recent years because of the enormous increase in amounts. Remittances have already outshined the inflow of FDI, official development assistance, and portfolio flows for many developing countries. However there is no clear-cut understanding of its macro level importance to economic growth which arises because of shortage of study in the area. This study tr
Bilateral Investment Treaties (BIT) are entered into by two state signatories wishing to promote, protect and liberalize investments. A BIT protects a private party, that is an investor having made an investment, by allowing for such a private party to address judicial recourse against a state signatory under the Washington Convention (the Convention). The Convention provides jurisdiction for the
Popular science summary Comparison of ectoparasite load on barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) in arctic and temperate regions Some birds winter in warm regions, but breed in the arctic. This long migration takes up a lot of energy, which leaves scientists wonder why birds undertake this journey. One of the many hypotheses to explain it, is that there are fewer parasites in the arctic. Therefore,
Sammanfattning De institutionella investerarna utgör en viktig roll på aktiemarknaden, eftersom de står för majoriteten av aktieinnehav på den svenska aktiemarknaden. Det har framkommit att de institutionella investerarna har en restriktiv syn på incitamentsprogram som idag är ett vanligt förekommande fenomen i aktiemarknadsbolag. Med tanke på de institutionella investerarnas omfattande innehav pSummary Institutional investors account for the majority of shareholding on the Swedish stock market; therefore they also have an important role to play in this market. It has emerged that the institutional investors have a restrictive view of incentive programs, which today is a common phenomenon in listed companies. Given the institutional investors' extensive holdings on the stock market,
Mervärdesskatt och Transfer Pricing är två av de stora områdena inom internationell skatterätt, då det förra är en indirekt skatt och baseras på det subjektiva priset och det senare området tillhör direkt beskattning och använder ett objektivt, fiktivt pris för beräkning kan de vid första anblick sakna anknytning. Det finns dock en risk att justeringar av det pris som använts för Transfer Pricing-Value added tax and Transfer Pricing are two of the major areas of international tax law, as the former one uses a subjective price for the calculation of taxation and the latter one uses an objective price the two regimes seemingly lack interaction. There is however a possibility that an adjustment of the price used for Transfer Pricing purposes might have an effect on the VAT due. VAT is a har
The theoretical focus in this master is information retrieval (IR), and especially the part of IR that includes interactivity. This research is by some researchers called IIR. Our principal aim was to examine if search engines on the WWW are taking advantage of research results from IIR research. A way to do this is to look at the application of special features, in this case query expansion (QE)
In this study, the initial aim was to combine the roles as teacher and researcher in a project called “The Inner Teacher”. The teacher-researcher wanted to study if, and in that case how, organ students on an academic level had access to an inner teacher when approaching a written piece of organ music. The study was interrupted by the fact that the teacher-researcher failed to act as planned when
The aim of this study was to compare interstitial laser thermotherapy with excision of a liver tumour. A dimethylhydrazine-induced adenocarcinoma was transplanted (implanted if not stated otherwise) into the left lateral lobe of the rat liver, and treatment was performed 8 days later. In the main experiment, rats were treated with resection of the tumour-bearing robe or underwent interstitial lase
Introduction: Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) is a new lifestyle intervention for mental health services users, developed to support meaningful engagement in daily activities and a balanced lifestyle. This study aimed at exploring the BEL participants’ process of making lifestyle changes. Methods: This constructivist grounded theory study took place in Sweden from 2013–2017 and explored the processe
ObjectivesTo describe the process and results of the updated Swedish practice guidelines for monotherapy in epilepsy.Materials and MethodsThe Swedish Medical Products Agency led the process together with medical experts. Evidence rating in accordance with the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) template was linked to the Cochrane group's GRADE system. Evidence from recently published tria
Activated transcription factor (TF) farnesoid X receptor (FXR) represses glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion in enteroendocrine L cells. This, in turn, reduces insulin secretion, which is triggered when β cells bind GLP-1. Preventing FXR activation could boost GLP-1 production and insulin secretion. Yet, FXR's broader role in L cell biology still lacks understanding. Here, we show that FXR i
Infectious diseases that can be transmitted via air often spread rapidly, sometimes causing large epidemic and pandemic outbreaks. As an increasing number of people live in crowded urban environments, and with frequent and long-distance traveling across the world, infectious diseases can spread even faster. Yet, our knowledge of how much airborne transmission (here defined as aerosol particles <10
Evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) aims to improve research utilization in practice. It relies on systematic methods (like systematic literature reviews, systematic mapping studies, and rapid reviews) to identify, appraise, and synthesize existing research findings to answer questions of interest. However, the lack of practitioners' involvement in the design, execution, and reporting of th
