The pine sawfly Neodiprion sertifer (Geoffroy) uses the acetate or propionate of (2S,3S,7S)-3,7-dimethyl-2-pentadecanol (diprionol) as pheromone components, with the (2S,3R,7R)-isomer being antagonistic, synergistic, or inactive according to the population tested. In this study, we tested the attraction of males to the acetates of three analogs of diprionol, each missing one methyl group, viz. (2S

Discrepancies between the information that patients have received and the patients' awareness of their condition have frequently been observed in literature and given a number of different explanations. The chief contribution of this study is that by following patients over time it is possible not only to notice any changes in the patients' knowledge or awareness of their disease, but also to inve

The aim of this article is to propose a method for creating a more coherent concept of norms – and to deliver a tentative and open suggestion on how to define norms in a way that might fit into the context of Sociology of Law (further on shortened, SoL). The idea is that the norm concept can be chiselled out through ontological analysis, and that this analysis can be conducted in a way that allow

With climate change being one of the largest worldwide challenges of our time, it is important to prevent the loss of natural ecosystems that can act to mitigate climate change. Moreover, ensuring that urban areas are designed for human needs in conjunction with climate change adaptation/mitigation for a sustainable environment is crucial. University campus environments serve as places for study b

This thesis has attempted to map and explain the vaiation in implementation of social requirements in public procurement. The objects of study are the municipalities of Sweden from which both policy documents and procurement requirement specifications were collected. The thesis developed two models to explain the variation in two implementation types, the implementation into municipal strategic gu

Förr i tiden existerade närmare 90 % fler våtmarker på Öland än vad som finns idag. Innan ut-dikningen hade ägt rum fungerade Ölands strandvallar som en barriär för vattnet så det förhindrades att strömma ut mot Östersjön. I huvudsak lutar topografin på Öland österut vilket bidrar till att vattnet automatiskt transporteras från väst mot öst. Genom att dika ut och ta bort delar av de naturliga hindIn the past the need to enhance land use for agricultural purposes resulted in ditching of land and existing beach deposits to reduce wetlands. The ditching resulted in a 90% decrease of wetlands on Öland together with a decrease in groundwater. Before the drainage had started the beach deposits on Öland worked as a barrier that pre-vented the water to run off towards the Baltic Sea. The topograph

This bachelor thesis shows how a mobile application can be designed to have the potential to induce its users to change their energy consumption and how the application can be designed to induce the users to return to the application. The project was carried out on behalf of- and in cooperation with Öresundskraft AB. The goal of the project was to create an application that would be used by the cu

Oxytocin (OT) is a small neuropeptide, which is present in human plasma at extremely low endogenous levels of only a few pg/ml. It is mainly involved during labour and lactation but it has recently also been found that OT is involved in social behaviours like bonding and feeling empathy. During the last couple of years, the interest in OT has been raised and due to the matrix complexity, it is ver

This paper presents an overview of how the United States and the European Union use their sanctions and Bilateral Investment Treaty policies to protect intellectual property rights overseas from expropriation. Both territories’ policies vary, with American rightsholders more capable of protecting their overseas intellectual property through the United States’ sanctions policy; European Union inves

Electric vehicle (EV) charging may be used in aggregation as virtual batteries to provide a frequency regulating service to the power grid. The service is sold on the Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) markets, and is traded one and two days ahead. Forecasts of charging patterns are essential to reliably provide this ancillary service. The thesis aims to build a generalized model for forecasting

Our investigation and analysis of public technology procurement has demonstrated that, as argued in Chapter 1 of this book, it is a concept with salient features. These distinguish it from other types of public procurement. With this particular type of procurement, policy makers are faced with new challenges. The reasons pursuing for public technology procurement, and consequently its processes an

Estuarine sediments are key sites for removal of phosphorus (P) from rivers and the open sea. Vivianite, an Fe(II)-P mineral, can act as a major sink for P in Fe-rich coastal sediments. In this study, we investigate the burial of P in the Öre Estuary in the northern Baltic Sea. We find much higher rates of P burial at our five study sites (up to ĝ1/4 0.145 molĝ€†mĝ'2ĝ€†yrĝ'1) when compa

Context: The current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union includes three greening measures, which are partly intended to benefit farmland biodiversity. However, the relative biodiversity effects of the greening measures, including joint effects of landscape context, are not well understood. Objectives: We studied the effects of increasing crop diversity, proportions of production

Thermal cameras can be used in building fires, for example, to locate people or find concealed fires. In this report, the result from a questionnaire study, on the use of thermal cameras in the fire service, is presented. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions and it was answered by a total of 88 people from fire services in Sweden. The questions can be divided into the following three areas:
