The DNA ploidy level of 673 accessions belonging to 238 species of Hieracium have been analyzed by flow cytometry. 222 of the species were of Scandinavian origin as members of the exclusively apomictic H. sectt. Bifida, Hieracium, Oreadea, Tridentata and Vulgata. For the overwhelming majority of the species, the ploidy level (or chromosme number) has never been investigated before. Approximately 5
OBJECTIVES: Inhibitors of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-degrading enzyme, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), are being explored in the treatment of diabetes. We examined the long-term influence of a selective, orally active inhibitor of DPPIV (NVP DPP728), in normal female C57BL/6J mice and such mice rendered glucose-intolerant and insulin-resistant by feeding a high-fat diet. DESIGN: In mice
Denna rapport är skriven inom kursen ”VBRN70 - Brandteknisk riskvärdering” vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Rapporten omfattar en brand- och utrymningsanalys av Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern i Stockholm med fokus på personsäkerhet. Analysen inleddes med ett platsbesök för att få bättre kännedom om objektet. Utifrån observationer från platsbesöket och tillgänglig statistik identifierades därefter flerta
Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed
Det kommunala planmonopolet tillåter våra kommuner att reglera mark- och vattenanvändningen samt hur bebyggelsen ska se ut. Detta innebär en stor frihet för kommunens sida men även ett stort ansvar att hantera bygglovsansökningar på ett ansvarsfullt sätt. Det är viktigt att kommunen på ett korrekt och legitimt sätt tar hänsyn till de lagar och regler som en bygglovsprövning innefattar. Åtgärden soMunicipalities have a planning monopoly that allows them to regulate land and water use. With this follows a responsibility to handle building permits in a responsible manner. The building measure must abide by the detailed development plan. Sometimes the building measure deviates from the plan, in such cases the Building committee of the municipality can grant a building permit with a minor devia
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to contribute to logistics research arena in management practices using qualitative methods. Because previous research paradigm has been dominated by quantitative methods, where managerial work practices have been neglected or understated. Hence, by using the qualitative method the study can enrich the importance of manager work practice in logistics and br
Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. Climate change, however, might weaken this carbon sink and possibly result in tropical fo
Today cities are the result of centuries of history and human development, accelerated during the past 100 years. Post-industrialization, modernism’s top-down city planning approach, and the prioritisation of motor vehicle design over humans resulted in more people moving to cities, more space needed to allocate new vehicles, expansion over rural areas, and exponential pollution growth. Thus, huma
The demand for cheaper and more efficient solar cells is high. One way to decrease cost of material, while maintaining a high degree of efficiency, is to take advantage of nanomaterials. A thin film containing pn-junction nanowires can convert light with an efficiency comparable to traditional planar cells, while using a fraction of the material, and thus reduce costs.

Title: Multi-Sided Platforms: Understanding their strengths and weaknesses Seminar date: 2014-05-22 Course: FEKN90 Företagsekonomi: Examensarbete på Civilekonomprogrammet (30 ECTS) Authors: Lucas Ehrenstråhle and Elin Mathies Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Five keywords: MSP, activities, resources, differentiation and platforms The purpose: is to investigate why small actors use multi-sided pl
This study investigates how lead content and bioavailability in soil affects growth and root/shoot ratio in three commonly cultivated species: wheat (Triticum turgidum), clover (Trifolium) and radish (Raphanus sativus). The study investigates the levels at which soil lead content contribute to toxic effects in plants, and when it may pose a risk to consumers. In addition, lead accumulation and the
Communication today is not something merely taking place face to face, technology such as the internet and social media channels have opened up for endless interactions taking place in the online world. User generated content in the form of online travel reviews come with many challenges and opportunities for organizations. User generated content has been shown to impact a travelers decision in al
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Syftet med arbetet är att rekonstruera när, under slutet av och strax efter den senaste istiden, olika trädslag började uppträda och expandera på en lokal i nordvästra Rumänien. Detta kan bidra med kunskap till den paleoekologiska forskningen om var dagens nordeuropeiska trädflora har kunnat överleva de perioder då Nordeuropa varit täckt av inlandsis. Det har föA sedimentary sequence retrieved from Preluca Tiganului, an overgrown crater lake at 840 m.a.s.l. in the northwest Romanian Carpathian mountains, was investigated by applying pollen analysis, mineral magnetic analysis, loss on ignition and 14C measurements. The purpose of the study was to reconstruct the establishment and expansion of broad-leaved trees during the Late-Glacial and early Holocene a
This study constitutes a preliminary survey within the project "Lake and groundwater paleohydrology of the Vomb plain, southern Sweden, for quantitative paleoclimatic calibration". The aim of the study is to describe the Holocene sediment stratigraphy of the former lakes Fönesjön and Kalvsjön (Kalvs mosse), and furthermore to describe and date stratgraphical indications of climatically c
This study is about Wikipedia which defines itself as a free online encyclopaedia. Our chief interest lies in the debate and the controversy which has arisen around Wikipedia. After reading critical articles concerning Wikipedia we found that the debate for most parts had one identifiable theme namely the question whether Wikipedia is an encyclo-paedia or not. Encyclopaedia as a term and a phenom
Today, "the digital library" is the common way of describing a managed collection of information, with associated services, stored in digital formats and accessible over a network. Digital libraries have mainly been developed at research libraries, but during the last few years public libraries have started to offer similar services. The aim of this Master's thesis is to study how t
The present study investigated second language (L2) learners’ processing of filler-gap dependencies and tested the implications of Clahsen and Felser’s (2006) shallow structure hypothesis according to which L2 learners underuse syntactic information during the processing of these sentence types. Advanced L2 learners of English (native Swedish speakers) listened to English sentences with object-rel
