Kampen mellan dyngbaggens solkompass och vindkompassen Att kunna orientera utifrån sin omgivning är viktigt för många djur över hela djurriket, inte minst för insekter. Hos dyngbaggar, vars föda är dynga, utförs en typ av orientering för att undvika konkurrens om mat; bibehållande av en rak kurs. När en dyngbagge har hittat en färsk dynghög formar den en boll av avföringen och rullar sedan iväg mThe ability to orient requires reliable cue information, and the primary cue used in straight-line orientation by the diurnal dung beetle Kheper lamarcki is the sun. It is previously known that the orientation precision of the dung beetle decreases at high solar elevations compared to lower elevations. In this study, the reliability of the sun compass was investigated in detail by testing the orie

The Holdings database was used to collect detailed ownership data on a sample of 266 listed Swedish firms corresponding to 1 781 firm-year while finan
Given a discrete dynamical system T, one can ask what the time average of the system will be, that is, what is the average position of T^n(x) for large n? Birkhoff’s ergodic theorem, one of the most important results in ergodic theory, says that for an ergodic system on a finite measure space, the time average will in the limit as n -> infinity be equal to the space average for almost all initial
Under 1990-talet bröt den före detta socialistiska federala republiken Jugoslavien upp längs sina republikers gränser, till stor del på grund av en ekonomisk och politisk kris, liksom en ökning av nationalism och etniska spänningar. Där olika nationaliteter och etniska grupper kämpade för att samexistera, och olösta etniska, nationalistiska och religiösa problem steg upp till ytan - försökte en seDuring the 1990s, The Former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia broke up along its republics' borders, largely due to an economic and political crisis, as well as a rise in nationalism and ethnic tensions. Where different nationalities and ethnic groups struggled to coexist, and unresolved ethnic, nationalistic and religious troubles were rising to the surface - a Serbian politician by t
In this thesis, I investigate change and continuity within the food industry in Sweden, building on seven interviews with workers in different factories and locations in Sweden. Through a feminist-Marxist understanding of productive and reproductive work, and an analysis of how gender and class are produced and reproduced in organizations, this study examines production work and its impact on the
This paper studies the impact of green bond external reviews and their influence on bond pricing within the secondary green bond market. Various types of external reviews are examined to paint a more accurate picture of the external review landscape. We find opposing results for corporate and municipal green bonds. While we could not identify significant external review premia for municipal green

This study aimed to investigate whether social work students assess the need for compulsory care under the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (1990:52) (LVU) differently based on differences in gender, sexually abusive behavior, and age. The aim was to find out if social work students find that sexually abusive behavior is enough for LVU to the same extent for young girls and boys. The
This study examines the effect of credit rating downgrades and negative changes in outlook on stock returns for companies in the London Stock Exchange from 2000 to 2018. Measuring the abnormal returns, we verify if the observed stock returns are significantly different from the expected returns calculated through an event study. A market model with the FTSE All-Share Index as a benchmark is used.
Karaktärisering av polymermaterial för produktion av säkra och hållbara vaginala ringar Vaginala ringar är en läkemedelsformulering som är väldigt användarvänlig och som kan vara ett alternativ till traditionella preventivmedel som ofta kan anses vara tabu i U-länder. Därför är det av största intresse och vikt att få kunskap om hur man producerar säkra och hållbara vaginala ringar för att kunna The aim of this thesis was to characterize the mechanical and thermal properties of three different ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymers with varying vinyl acetate (VAc) content and to investigate the influential parameters when welding the polymer into intravaginal rings. A second purpose in this study was to compare two different produced EVA polymers with the same VAc content to find thermal a

Vart fjärde år, i valtider, uppstår en viss typ av kommunikation då och enbart då. Valaffischer trycks än idag i stora upplagor och sätts upp vid valda platser i hela Sverige, vilket leder till en stor exponering hos invånarna. Denna stora uppvisning har dock inte lett till någon större forskningsinsats på valaffischer, utan det finns ett mycket smalt utbud av studier av svenska valaffischer. ForEvery fourth year at, during elections, a certain type of communication appears. Election posters are still today printed in large quantities and placed at locations all throughout Sweden, which entails a large exposure to the inhabitants. Yet, this display has not lead to a great amount of research on election posters, but there is a small number of studies of Swedish election posters. Research
