Bumblebees are essential pollinators, sustaining ecosystem balance and aiding crop pollination. A comprehensive understanding of their foraging ecology is therefore crucial. We studied the influence of life-history traits of individual Bombus terrestris on wing wear and its foraging patterns. Wing wear is clearly a widespread phenomenon observed in all flying insects. Wing integrity has consequenc

Background: Whether dairy intake is related to type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear, as does potential metabolic mechanisms for this association. Objectives: We aimed to examine the association between high dairy intake and risk of T2D and identify plasma metabolites reflecting dairy intake. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 26,461 Swedish individuals recruited between 1991 and 1996

An additional upsurge in bacterial STIs has been observed in Sweden following HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) implementation. From a prevention perspective, it is of relevance to optimize testing strategies within PrEP programmes to identify those most at risk. An open retrospective longitudinal observational cohort study was performed at three STI clinics in Uppsala, Gothenburg, and Malmö. A

This study scans six decades of film history in search for video images, the imaginaries within which they are framed, and (taking cues from the archaeological methods of Friedrich Kittler and Michel Foucault) their technical, historical, and institutional conditions of existence. The British experimental science fiction film Anti-Clock (Jane Arden and Jack Bond, 1979) revolves around a video devi

Objects smuggled out of Nazi concentration camps and brought to Sweden by liberated prisoners have been valued museum objects in Sweden for almost 60 years. They and the written testimonies given by survivors represent not only the suffering experienced by the Nazis’ victims and their resistance against dehumanization but also how these aspects of the Second World War and the Holocaust were cultur

In 1957, A Face in the Crowd incorporated live video images to warn about the future of broadcast TV. In 2015, Kung Fury was infused with analogue noise to evoke the nostalgic feeling of watching an old VHS tape. Between the two films, numerous ones would incorporate video images to imagine the implications of video practices. Drawing on media archaeology, Videographic Cinema shows how such images

This paper will be a study of the burial mounds from the Scandinavian bronze age. The purpose of this is to examine the phenomenon of repeatedly reusing these monuments for burial practices, even centuries after they were constructed. By comparing different burial mounds and how their graves are related to each other through practice theory, the aim is to explain the significance of these monument

The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine whether, to what degree and in what pattern physical activity differed between medieval men of differing social status. An overall purpose of this was to test whether, and to what degree the purported warrior culture of the medieval nobility had on its manual physical activity. This was tested by examining the patterns of humeral midshaft bone geomet

Fragmentation from the extraction of bone marrow for consumption is a common phenomenon in archaeological assemblages, because of the high fat content of bone marrow, it was an important source of sustenance in prehistory. From the perspective of marrow fracturing, analysis of these fragmented refuse materials gives insight into the general strategies for harvesting bone marrow. The fragmentation

Gladan i med-och motvind Den röda glada (Milvus milvus) är en rovfågel vars öde sedan länge varit tätt sammanflätat med människan. En kungarnas fågel, kallad Milvus regalis och milan royal, samtidigt ansedd som en smutsig asätare och avskydd kycklingtjuv. Människlig förföljelse drev den närapå till utrotningens rand, varifrån ihärdigt bevarandearbete bringat den åter. Idag är dess karakteristiskaIn a world of rapid biodiversity loss, raptors are vulnerable due to their longevity and low reproductive rates. The red kite (Milvus milvus) is one of few migratory raptors breeding exclusively in Europe. It has previously experienced steep population declines caused mainly by persecution but mostly recovered, no longer classified as globally endangered. However, negative population trends persis

The article examines Jewish ‘self-images’ in Swedish post-war film. Before World War II, antisemitic caricatures were prevalent in Swedish film and visual culture. Following the Holocaust, Jews as such were virtually erased from Swedish screens. Written by and starring Marie-Louise Ekman, Hallo Baby (Bergenstråhle 1976) was a rare exception, the first Swedish post-war film to explore Swedish-Jewis

Karakterisering av ert-c mutanter i sädesslaget korn För att säkra vår mattillgång behöver vi bättre grödor. I modern tid har det blivit vanligare med kraftiga regn kombinerat med starka vindar. Detta ökar risken att grödor trycks ner på market, vilket minskar skörden och påverkar skördens kvalitet. Kortare växter som ert-c mutanter är mer tåliga mot sådant väder och i mitt arbete hoppades jag kuThe barley erectoides (ert) mutants are characterized by an erect growth habit, a short and compact spike and often a short culm length. The ert-c mutant group consists of 40 allelic mutants and is thus one of the largest groups. The aim of this study was to identify the ert-c gene. The genomes of eight ert-c mutants have been sequenced and a set of candidate genes were identified. In the present

Rosé wine popularity is mostly due to its pink colour which results from grape pigments. Varying from a pale salmon to a deeper pink colour, its stability and intensity are not as good as the those of red wines, it’s therefore crucial to improve them. Yeasts, responsible for alcoholic fermentation, have been shown to influence wine colour, in particular when nonSaccharomyces (NS) yeasts are inocul
