Some animals including mussels mistake microplastic for food and ingest the microplastic, a big problem which can le

The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the arguments that a number of professionals in equine-assisted therapy had for having the horse as part of the treatment of people with mental and physical disabilities. The analysis was based on two theories: Antonovsky's theory of salutogenesis, including the concept of sense of coherence, and Bowlbys attachment theory. The study was based o

The integration of an ecosystem service (ES) approach when conducting environmental impact assessments (EIA) is a fairly new process. Earlier studies show that an integration of ES in EIA might be beneficial to the identification and evaluation of environmental impacts from a plan or a project, but that there is a need for more hands-on methods for doing so. The aim of this study was to identify p

The objective with this master thesis is to analyze how the service life of wood in ground contact, with regard to decay, varies between different test fields. Different factors are evaluated whether it is possible to estimate the service life of a specimen in a specific test field. Also the influence of the climate on the service life in different test fields is investigated by calculated climate

Det är ett välkänt fenomen att människor generellt sett minns ansikten från sin egen etniska grupp bättre än ansikten från andra grupper, något som kan kallas etnicitetseffekten. Igenkänningsminne brukas beskrivas utifrån två typer av processer, familiarity som kännetecknas av en bekanthetskänsla utan framplockning av detaljer och recollection där detaljer kopplade till inlärningstillfället kan erThe fact that people in general tend to remember faces from their own ethnic group better than faces from other groups is a well-known phenomenon, called the otherethnicity effect. Recognition memory is commonly described as based on two processes, familiarity characterised by a sense of knowing without remembering details, and recollection, where details related to the original learning event can

Den geologiska signifikansen av onkoider, mikrobialiter uppbyggda av calcifierande mikroorganismer, är varken lika studerad eller vedertagen som för de likartade stromatoliterna. I samband med de större fanerozoiska utdöenderna är ett uppsving av dessa mikrobialiter ett accepterat bevis för en krisfauna vilken utgör ett anarchronistiskt facies. Desto mer omdebatterad är möjligheten att applicera dThe geological significance of the microbial-formed oncoid is not as well understood as the recognized, analogous stromatolite but can, as well be used as an environmental indicator. In association with the larger Phanerozoic mass extinctions, a resurgence of microbialites as a disaster fauna is at present an accepted view. The same model, however, is under debate concerning whether or not it can
