While recent cognitive science research shows a renewed interest in understanding intelligence, there is still little consensus on what constitutes intelligent behaviour and how it should be assessed. Here we propose a refined approach to biological intelligence as accurate prediction, according to which intelligent behaviour should be understood as adaptive control driven by the minimisation of u
Embryo implantation involves a sterile inflammatory reaction that is required for the invasion of the blastocyst into the decidua. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) released from stressed or injured cells acts as an important signaling molecule to regulate many key physiological events, including sterile inflammation. We found that the amount of ATP in the uterine luminal fluid of mice increased during

The road haulage industry is a fundamental part of today’s society. The companies of haulage stand before a challenge, as the environmental and economic sustainability demands are increasing. The automotive industry tries to meet these demands by developing intelligent systems that will decrease the fuel consumption. The two systems, predictive controller and platooning, are two intelligent solut
In this thesis, the relationship between people and places is investigated through examining how migrants in Vienna create place attachment to food markets in the city. A place attachment is understood as the emotional bond that forms between an individual and a specific space, the theoretical foundation of this thesis lies within emotional geography, a sub-field of human geography which examines
Cross-border investment protection and dispute settlement mechanisms have sustained significant transformations, both within (intra-EU) and outside (extra-EU) of the European Union (EU). This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the legal frameworks safeguarding EU-based investors and their investments. It delves into the interplay between EU law and international investment agree
Tightly knit to the debate about a democratic deficit to the European Union (EU) is that of a communication deficit, meaning that the legitimacy a political entity gain through the communicative processes that ensure insight into politics is flawed. Ideas on how to overcome the communication deficit often revolve around transnationalizing communication between Member States or improving the commun
This paper focuses on Bronze Age melting crucibles in southern Scandinavia. The shape and purpose of the crucibles have long been known, but the process of making one has not been studied thoroughly. The crucibles have in some cases been reconstructed in order to replicate the casting process or the finished product, but have rarely been the main subject of research. In this paper crucibles found
The values we see in society are reflected in the built environment we produce. Although an open and democratic society is something that we want, it is not obvious that this openness should be transferred directly to our built environments. What social life takes place when courtyards become part of the public sphere instead of the private one? Well-designed courtyards functions as a complement
Stories of desire and grief in Swedish forests Climate change and its impacts on biodiversity challenges the ways in which we envision future forests. We experience emotions of both desire and grief as a reaction to how the changing climate affects what we want the forest to be and what we fear to lose. Woodworlds studies stories about Swedish forests with the aim to explore the tensions that are

Bakgrund: UNFPA är en underorganisation till Förenta Nationerna (FN). UNFPA fokuserar på populations- och utvecklingsstrategier och jämlikhet mellan könen. I mars 2005 bestämdes det i UNDP/UNFPAs styrelse att UNFPAs inköpsavdelning (PSB) skulle behöva förbättras om de skulle nå upp till sina mål.

Biotechnological tools have never been stronger than today and the data they provide is absolutely fascinating. As we get a clearer picture of the intricate workings of living systems eective mathematical and statistical tools become a necessity in order to reach a comprehensive understanding of said systems. The purpose of this thesis is to statistically explore cutting edge biomedical data taken
