Predictors of natal dispersal in great reed warblers: results from small and large census areas

For most species, it is currently not known whether individual characteristics and population parameters affecting dispersal distances within the local population are also affecting dispersal of individuals emigrating longer distances. We evaluated this in the great reed warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus by analysing data of natal dispersal distances within (1) the local hatching area in southern

Karl XII:s bibel och den svenska stavningens standardisering

Ideas on orthographic standardization at the end of the 17the century and a few decades afterwards. The principal actors: Swedberg and Hiärne. The most interesting problem: gemination of vowels and consonants. The new translation of the bible did change the orthography but the spelling was still too conservative and irregular in many respects.

Does a CSR focus create innovations among established firms?

However, literature in the area remains scarce. This chapter describes and discusses innovation as a consequence of a firm's CSR activities. Methodology/approach – The empirical part of the chapter is based on the content analysis

The influence of geocoding level and definition of geographic context variables on historical demographic analyses

The quality of spatial analysis is highly dependent on the geo-referencing quality and the definition of the geographic context variables used. However, such information is seldom considered in historical demographic and epidemiological research that includes the geographic context. We investigate a suitable geographic level for geocoding of the population and definition of geographic context vari

Making headway in climate policy mainstreaming and ecosystem-based adaptation : two pioneering countries, different pathways, one goal

Ecosystem-based adaptation (i.e. the use of ecosystem services to adapt to climate change) and its mainstreaming into municipal planning to foster sustainable transformation is receiving increasing interest from both academic and governmental bodies. However, little is known about the pathways for its systematic implementation, or the extent to which it is already mainstreamed in municipal plannin

Prevalence and genetics of immotile-cilia syndrome and left-handedness

Immotile-cilia syndrome is characterized by severe respiratory distress from early infancy, and also often by situs inversus. The first description of the disease was based on just four persons, but reasons were given to suggest that the disorder may not be exceedingly rare. The purpose of the present study was to estimate just how rare or how common it is and to evaluate its association with situ
