In polyandrous species, fathers benefit from attracting greater maternal investment toward their offspring at the expense of the offspring of other males, while mothers should usually allocate resources equally among offspring. This conflict can lead to an evolutionary arms race between the sexes, manifested through antagonistic genes whose expression in offspring depends upon the parent of origin

Multigene expression signatures provide a molecular subdivision of early breast cancer associated with patient outcome. A gap remains in the validation of such signatures in clinical treatment groups of patients within population-based cohorts of unselected primary breast cancer representing contemporary disease stages and current treatments. A cohort of 3520 resectable breast cancers with RNA seq

The historical evolution of languages has been more than once influenced by the sheer influence of scholars who re-channeled some linguistic phenomena or simply consecrated aspects of colloquial usage. This happened in the history of Romanian language when the Latinist scholars cleansed the lexicon and parts of morphology of various non-Latin borrowings and derivations whereas they revived or inse

For many years, blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease seemed unattainable, but recent results have shown that they could become a reality. Convincing data generated with new high-sensitivity assays have emerged with remarkable consistency across different cohorts, but also independent of the precise analytical method used. Concentrations in blood of amyloid and phosphorylated tau proteins

Biologisk mångfald, varför ska vi bry oss? I nyheter och media blir vi alltmer uppmärksammade på begreppet ’biologisk mångfald’ som ofta presenteras med en negativ klang kopplad till förlust av naturmiljöer. Naturen som utgör grunden för mänsklig välfärd håller på att försvinna, bland annat på grund av mänskliga aktiviteter som urbanisering och moderna jord- och skogsbruksmetoder. Med den ökade urSpending time outdoors during childhood can improve learning, promote pro- environmental behavior, and improve physical and mental health. However, most of our everyday lives are spent indoors and thus a disassociation from nature is created. Paradoxically, a positive relationship between humans and nature is vital for its preservation, and our survival. Through outdoor education in elementary sch

De historiska typologier som förekommit i svensk byggnadshistoria ligger till grund för var bostaden befinner sig idag. Jag anser att uppkomsten, utformningen och utforskningen av densamma är central för förståelsen för samtidens bostäder och dess enskilda rum. I detta arbete försöker jag presentera, funktionellt katalogisera, och analysera de rumstypologier som förekommit, och fortfarande förekomMy work surrounds the dwelling, more specifically the respective typological characteristics that it consists of. The research focuses on their execution, development and transformation, from the 19th century to today. To further understand the homes of today, and perhaps their implications tomorrow, I aim to catalog and study the connections and parameters surrounding these rooms. The chapters ar

Agencies obligation to report according to the Swedish Social Service Law (2001:453) 14 chapter 1 § is an important obligation to uphold children’s rights. When children are maltreated due to the conditions at home, agencies have a responsibility to help. Constantly we hear from the media about children who live with anomaly. Therefore it is highly current to examine the obligation to report. Chil

Antennas are fundamental components in the evolution of wireless communication systems, including current 5G networks and emerging 6G technologies. This thesis presents the design, simulation, and experimental validation of two antennas specifically developed for integration into repeater-assisted MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. These systems aim to enhance spatial multiplexing and

The aim of this study was to examine how a budget-led practice affects middle managers with budget responsibility in the Swedish public social services to do their jobs. Based on five interviews, using middle managers in five different social fields, the main results show that the financial aspect in the public social services becomes an issue in the middle mangers work-tasks. Three main tasks wer

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) from grain legumes is of significant importance in global agricultural ecosystems. Crops with BNF capability are expected to support the need to increase food production while reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer input for agricultural sustainability, but quantification of N fixing rates and BNF crop yields remains inadequate on a global scale. Here we incorporate tw

This essay is primarily focused on the ambiguity surrounding Morpheus’ death in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. There is a divide in the character that is not reconciled within the comic: whether or not Morpheus is in control of the events that shape his death. Shakespeare scholars who have examined the series will have Morpheus in complete control of the narrative because of the similarities he shares

En återkommande fråga i svensk skadeståndsrätt har varit vilket ansvar föräldrar ska tillskrivas då deras barn vållar skada. Genom en lagreform år 2010 infördes ett principalansvar, med innebörden att en förälder som har vårdnaden om ett barn ska ersätta skada som barnet orsakar genom brott. Anknytningen till brottslighet hänger samman med lagstiftningens syfte. Den bakomliggande tanken var att prA frequent question in Swedish tort law has been what liability parents should have when their children cause damage. Through an amendment of law in 2010 a vicarious liability was introduced. A parent who has the custody of a child shall compensate damage caused by the child through crime. The connection to crime is related to the aim of the legislation. The underlying thought was that the vicario

En ökad användning av flergångsartiklar kan minska sjukvårdens miljöpåverkan Inom sjukvården har användningen av engångsartiklar ökat under de senaste decennierna, vilket leder till en ökad användning av jordens resurser. Detta har en negativ miljöpåverkan och åtgärder behöver vidtas för att minska resursanvändningen och arbeta mot en hållbar utveckling inom denna sektor. Att övergå till en ökad The increasing awareness of resource depletion has led to a growing interest in adapting a more efficient use of resources within multiple sectors to support a more sustainable development. One sector that uses large amounts of resources, with the high use of consumables, is the healthcare sector. The purpose of this study is to perform a life cycle assessment of three possible alternatives of ce

The purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent intuition affects executive

The prevalence of ageing population and growing old-age consumption per capita has raised concern about the fiscal burden of state and family. As individuals age, they have increasing need for assistance in activities of daily living (ADL). Therefore, long-term care makes up the most in the consumption of elderly. State and family are responsible to meet this demand and the care distribution depen

Abstract This thesis investigates the impacts pre-merger characteristics play in long-term post-merger performance from a sample of small and medium sized enterprises whom conducted M&A activity within the European Union between the time period of 2011-2013. Using data collected, a quantitative analysis was performed to measure the impact of six separate factors on post-merger performance anal

At the core of the sustainable solid waste management challenge lies increasing rates of consumption which contribute directly to problems of resource extraction and degradation. Recycling is a tool designed in part to address this problem of scarcity, however on its own it is not enough to solve the problem, particularly in relation to plastics, which are challenging to manage and often are not r
