Stabiliserings- och associeringsprocessen är EU:s politiska ramverk för länderna på västra Balkan. EU anser att regionen har en framtid inom unionen och sju av länderna i regionen anses vara potentiella kandidater för EU-medlemskap. Det mest centrala instrumentet är ett så kallat associerings- och stabiliseringsavtal, vilket EU och dess medlemsstater har upprättat med samtliga av de berörda länderThe Stabilisation and Association Process is the pre-accession policy of the EU which applies to its relations with the Western Balkans. The EU considers that the future of the region is within the Union, and seven countries have been given the prospect of full accession, i.e. EU membership. The most prominent feature in this regard is the establishment of contractual relations in the form of a St

Media är en del av vår vardag som genom sina framställningar skapar förebilder. Dessa förebilder påverkar och inspirerar oss för hur vi bör vara och bete oss och därför är det viktigt att studera framställningarna. I uppsatsen har jag granskat de två amerikanska Tv-serierna The big bang theory och Entourage, som sänts i både svensk och utländsk Tv. Båda serierna handlar om manliga kompisgäng, med

Label-free chemical imaging of living and functioning systems is the holy grail of biochemical research. However, existing techniques often require extensive sample preparation to remove interfering molecules such as water, rendering many molecular imaging techniques unsuitable for in situ structural studies. Here, we examined freshly extracted tissue biopsies and living small vertebrates at submi

Aim: Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to make predictions on how species distributions may change as a response to climatic change. To assess the reliability of those predictions, they need to be critically validated with respect to what they are used for. While ecologists are typically interested in how and where distributions will change, we argue that SDMs have seldom been eva

BACKGROUND: Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) from diffusion MRI (dMRI) have been associated with cell density and tissue anisotropy across tumors, but it is unknown whether these associations persist at the microscopic level.PURPOSE: To quantify the degree to which cell density and anisotropy, as determined from histology, account for the intra-tumor variability of MD and FA in

Around fifteen thousand fieldworkers annually count breeding birds using standardized protocols in 28 European countries. The observations are collected by using country-specific and standardized protocols, validated, summarized and finally used for the production of continent-wide annual and long-term indices of population size changes of 170 species. Here, we present the database and provide a d

We present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2019 include data from: 575 winter point counts in 2018/2019 (44th winter), of which 285 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 210 summer point count routes (45th year) an

Knee joint functional deficits are common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, but different assessment methods of joint function seem to provide contradicting information complicating recovery monitoring. We previously reported improved perceived knee function and functional performance (forward lunge ground contact time) in patients with an ACL injury from pre to 10 months post ACL rec

Climate change is an important driver of range shifts and community composition changes. Still, little is known about how the responses are influenced by the combination of land use, species interactions and species traits. We integrate climate and distributional data for 131 butterfly species in Sweden and Finland and show that cumulative species richness has increased with increasing temperature

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are rare cells on top of the differentiation hierarchy of hematopoiesis. HSCs are unique in their combined capacity to differentiate into all mature blood lineages and self-renew to maintain the HSC pool. Based on classical models of hematopoiesis in mouse, the self-renewal potential of HSCs is gradually and step-wise lost during the transition from long term (LT)-H

Den boghistoriske afhandling »Den skandinaviske encyklopædi. Udgivelse og udformning af Nordisk familjebok og Salmonsens Konversationsleksikon« undersøger for første gang encyklopædiens historie og udvikling i Skandinavien. Fokus er frem for alt på de to standardsættende udgivelser Salmonsens Konversationsleksikon og Nordisk familjebok. Gennem deres position som Danmarks og Sveriges første nationa

Optical mapping relies on the preparation of fluorescent DNA. DNA must be imaged with good signal to noise and therefore the background of unwanted DNA fragments, fluorescent dyes and other reagents need to be removed. We use deterministic lateral displacement to separate 48.5 kbp DNA from < 10 kbp DNA. We also show the removal of 48.5 kbp DNA fragments from a background of fluorescent ATTO647N mo
