The diffusion of digital technologies has strongly affected the way scholars and researchers use and perceive the archaeological information detected during the field investigation process. Archaeologists are still only beginning to realize the full potential of these applications beyond the attraction of providing visually engaging documentation and focus on the analytical and interpretive power.
The present study aimed to investigate how the impact of several factors linked to geography would shape life-history traits in a gregarious species, using the pine processionary moth (PPM) Thaumetopoea pityocampa as a model system. PPM has a wide geographical distribution over the Mediterranean Basin, and it is a strictly gregarious species throughout larval development, where the total reproduct
The article uses conceptual metaphor theory in order to analyse how the concept of “copy” in copyright law is expanding in a digital society to cover more phenomena than it originally did. For this purpose, the legally accepted model for valuing media files in the case against The Pirate Bay (TPB) is used in the analysis. When four men behind TPB was convicted in District Court of Stockholm, Swede
Species’ range shifts and local extinctions caused by climate change lead to community composition changes. At large spatial scales, ecological barriers, such as biome boundaries, coastlines, and elevation, can influence a community's ability to shift in response to climate change. Yet, ecological barriers are rarely considered in climate change studies, potentially hindering predictions of biodiv
Women immigrating with their children are a vulnerable group often exposed to ill health and a bad environment. In Europe, women from the Middle East have a complex situation, but immigrant women from low socioeconomic status backgrounds are at highest risk, also with regard to the perinatal period in life. In Sweden, all women independent of their immigrant status are offered free high-quality pe
CONTEXT: Type 2 diabetes is a growing global concern with serious complications, including kidney damage and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Monitoring albuminuria, which is associated with these complications, is crucial in optimal diabetes management. Gut microbiota composition has been suggested to impact albuminuria, but large studies with granular data are lacking.METHODS: We investig
An unusually direct warning from Japanese authorities offers a rare opportunity to confront the deeper systems at work.
Research on business models for sustainability (BMfS) has primarily focused on the conceptual aspects and sustainability potential of BMfS rather than their actual impact. There is a need to understand whether BMfS have less environmental impact on society than conventional business models and in what context and conditions they can reduce impact. This research conducted a systematic literature re
Purpose: The purpose and aim with this research was to understand how brands successfully can co-opt a social movement; specifically feminism, as part of their brand building-strategies. The phenomenon was explored by comparing one successful case, Libresse’s ‘RedFit’ campaign, with a relatively the less successful case; that is, H&M’s ‘Ladylike’ campaign. Methodology: This study takes a rela
The aim of this thesis is to shed some light on the emerging mainstream news discourses connected to marijuana’s legalization in parts of the United States by asking who is most involved in these discourses, what connections involvement may have to social status and social factors, most significantly gender, as well as what a few discursive themes in marijuana-related coverage might be, and what f
När politikerna själva har ordet Denna studie undersöker vad som händer när den politiska kommunikationen förflyttas från de traditionella nyhetsmedierna till den politiska organisationen, och därmed inte är beroende av journalister och gatekeepers längre. Samt om en politisk organisation, genom sin Youtube-kanal, i själva verket kan göra anspråk på att likställas med traditionell journalistik. UtWhen the politicians have the floor This study examines what happens when political communication is shifted from the traditional news media to the political organization itself, and thus is no longer dependent on journalists and gatekeepers. As well as whether a political organization, through its YouTube channel, can in fact claim to be equivalent to traditional journalism. Based on previous res
The student group is an emerging target with high potential for both the service industry and municipalities. However, previous studies scrutinizing this segment have been limited despite its significance. The aim of this study is to provide a deeper understanding of how domestic and international students perceive Helsingborg city and to offer insight into the key factors influencing students’ pe
A survey on household waste sorting and disposal habits was conducted in Sweden to investigate behavioral patterns of recycling in a context in which wide measures are taken to promote and encourage pro-environmental behavior by making it easy and convenient. 207 residents of three cities in southern Sweden, Lund, Malmö and Helsingborg, responded to an online questionnaire survey. Relations betwee
The chapter reviews evidence for the bodily mimesis hypothesis, which states that the evolution of language was preceded by an adaptation for improved volitional control of the body, giving our ancestors advantages in the domains of imitation, empathy, and gestural communication. Much of this evidence is also shared by other gesture-first theories of language origins, but they face the problem of
Strained nanowires with varying InAs/InP core/shell thicknesses were grown using Chemical Beam Epitaxy. Microphotoluminescence spectroscopy, performed at low temperature, was then used to study the optical properties of single wires. Emission from the InAs core was observed and its dependence on the shell thickness/core diameter ratio was investigated. We found that it is possible to tune the emis
