Cross-linking of polyelectrolytes such as DNA gives gels that are osmotically highly swollen but contract upon addition of electrolytes and, in particular, upon association of oppositely charged cosolutes with the polyelectrolyte chain. The deswelling behavior of cross-linked DNA gels thus reflects the DNA-cosolute interactions and provides a basis for the development of responsive DNA formulation
Recently, several polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods for detection and genetic identification of haemosporidian parasites in avian blood have been developed. Most of these have considerably higher sensitivity compared with traditional microscope-based examinations of blood smears. These new methods have already had a strong impact on several aspects of research on avian blood parasites.
Background: Hosts are often simultaneously infected with several parasite species. These co-infections can lead to within-host interactions of parasites, including mutualism and competition, which may affect both virulence and transmission. Birds are frequently co-infected with different haemosporidian parasites, but very little is known about if and how these parasites interact in natural host po
Engaging students in active participation and collaborative learning is an important pedagogical component of teaching and learning in higher education. Teachers use a variety of activities to engage students, such as interactive lectures, presentations, group activities, and projects. A metaphorical understanding of the teaching-learning process may help in the implementation of innovative and gr
This text discusses the transformations of the Katyn memorial site near Smolensk in western Russia, where, in 1940, the mass murder of more than 4,000 Polish military officers who were prisoners of war occurred. After the Soviet Union’s admission of guilt in 1990, it seemed for two decades that Katyn could also serve as a place for mutual reconciliation between post-communist Poland and post-Sovie
Hannah Persson’s essay looks at the early reception in England of Denmark’s most famous writer Hans Christian Andersen, showing how Andersen was (mis)represented in England as a result of the particular inflection given to his work by his translator, Mary Howitt. Examining Howitt’s praxis as a translator, Persson concludes that her (mis)understanding of Andersen’s tales as primarily intended for c
In upholstery applications, it is common to use polyurethane (PUR) foam when flexibility is desired. However, as PUR is a carbon-based material produced using toxic isocyanates, it is environmentally beneficial to replace PUR with bio-based alternatives. The challenge, however, lies in finding suitable bio-based replacement materials, capable of mimicking the foam-like functionality of PUR since m

Following the continual degradation of climate, the issue of climate change has increasingly been integrated in world politics. The European Union has itself implemented climate policies to adverse the tendency. However, the union has also given rise to the principle of free movement, a concept tightly connected to the EU’s carbon intensive transport sector. Research has shown the need for the EU
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka ockupationsrätten enligt internationell humanitär rätt, med särskilt fokus på inledandet och avslutandet av en ockupation. Vidare kommer uppsatsen att analysera de utmaningar som är förknippade med ett sådant avslutande. I granskningen av komplexiteten som omger avslutandet av en ockupation kommer 2005 års tillbakadragande från Gaza, samt ockupationen av Irak meThis thesis aims to investigate the law of occupation under international humanitarian law, specifically focusing on the beginning and ending of an occupation. The thesis will also explore the challenges associated with its termination. By examining the complexity regarding the ending of an occupation, the 2005 “disengagement” from Gaza and the occupation of Iraq 2003-2005, will be used. The thesi
Stakeholder engagement is viewed as crucial for environmental governance, especially in regard to common-pool resources (CPRs), such as river basins. This study investigates the conceptualisation of stakeholder engagement in Ireland’s third cycle River Basin Management Plan (RBMP). The study examines the underlying presumptions and representations of stakeholder engagement in governmental discours
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda och analysera hur införandet av the Principal Purpose Test(PPT-klausulen) i svenska skatteavtal kommer påverka den svenska hanteringen av missbruk av skatteavtalsbestämmelser. Eftersom PPT-klausulen, genom den Mulitlaterala konventionen för att motverka skat-teflykt, har införlivats i skatteavtalet mellan Sverige och Storbritannien, kommer analysen göras med The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyse how the introduction of the Principal Purpose Test (the PPT clause) in Swedish tax treaties will affect the Swedish handling of abuse of tax treaty provisions. Since the PPT clause, through the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures, has been incorporated into the tax treaty between Sweden and the United Kingdom, the ana
The aim of this study is to investigate how John Marsden’s Tomorrow, when the war began (1993) could be used for reading-between-the-lines practice in the English language classroom. It answers questions relating to how reading between the lines can be understood in relation to Grice’s cooperative principle, the effects of implicature in the text and how teachers can use this information to facili
This study investigates how EPU affects stock returns and volatility for Sweden’s four largest banks: Swedbank, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Svenska Handelsbanken, and Nordea. As a small open economy with a concentrated and globally exposed banking sector, Sweden is particularly vulnerable to both domestic and international uncertainty shocks. Using monthly data from 2000 to 2024, we apply a GAR
This thesis investigates the rhetoric of populist leaders during the Covid-19 pandemic. By examining statements from three different presidents, Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, Mexico´s Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Nicaragua´s Daniel Ortega and explores whether they used rhetoric that downplayed the threat of COVID-19. Through a qualitative content analysis, the rhetoric of these presidents is ex
As populism becomes increasingly prominent in global politics, the academic literature presents socioeconomic factors as an underlying reason. This paper aims to find whether such factors can explain the increase in Republican support in Michigan during the time period of 2012 to 2024, with particular recognition of the role of Donald Trump as a populist candidate. Michigan has experienced notable
