Sex-limited morphs can provide profound insights into the evolution and genomic architecture of complex phenotypes. Inter-sexual mimicry is one particular type of sex-limited polymorphism in which a novel morph resembles the opposite sex. While inter-sexual mimics are known in both sexes and a diverse range of animals, their evolutionary origin is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the genom
The XUV beams generated via high order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases have spatial properties evolving with the harmonic order. It leads to chromatic aberrations when the harmonics are focussed so that, locally, the spectral content can change significantly during propagation [1-3] especially near focus.
We show acoustic separation of 7.8 µm from 5 µm fluorescent polystyrene particles at an unprecedented sample flowrate of almost 1000 µL/min.
BACKGROUND: The sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera) is a key pest on sugarcane and other grasses in the Americas. Biological control as well as insecticide treatments are used for pest management, but economic losses are still significant. The use of female sex pheromones for mating disruption or mass trapping in pest management could be established for this species, provided that e
People consistently act in ways that harm the environment, even when believing their actions are environmentally friendly. A case in point is a biased judgment termed the negative footprint illusion, which arises when people believe that the addition of “eco-friendly” items (e.g., environmentally certified houses) to conventional items (e.g., standard houses), reduces the total carbon footprint of
One of the today’s greatest challenges is to adjust our behavior so that we can avoid a major climate disaster. To do so, we must make sacrifices for the sake of the environment. The study reported here investigates how anchors (extrinsic motivational-free information) and normative messages (extrinsic motivational information) influence people’s tradeoffs between travel time and carbon dioxide (C
The concept of importance of criteria is used as a central element in several decision making contexts, specifically in value aggregation, e.g. as an input to decision support tools. For example, in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) decision makers are asked to estimate how much more important one criterion is than another. However, it is not clear how people understand aggregation models based
Syftet med studien var att belysa arbetsterapeuters tankar kring användandet av tv-spel inom Barn- och ungdomshabiliteringen i Region Skåne. Studien inspirerades ifrån projektet SpelTid och medarbetarna på de tio habiliteringsenheter som ingick i det projektet. Totalt deltog 12 arbetsterapeuter i studien. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ enkätintervju och data analyserades med innehållsanalys
A case study on the phenomenological obstacles for adjusting lifestyle to ecological awareness. The data is obtained mainly through deep interview, backed by preparatory research including chiefly participant observation, informal and semi structured interviews. The findings have been connected to relevant concepts and theories in a process of grounded theory. The fatigue, fears and doubts felt by
Stroke är en av våra vanligaste folksjukdomar och påverkar hela individens livssituation, däribland livskvalitet och livstillfredsställelse. Livskvalitet är individens subjektiva upplevelse av sin position i livet samt möjligheter att utföra de aktiviteter som önskas. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur personer som drabbats av stroke skattade sin livskvalitet och livstillfredsställelse i det
Skiftarbete blir allt vanligare i Sverige och en femtedel av alla anställda har idag någon form av skiftarbete. Tidigare forskning visar att skiftarbetare löper större risk för att drabbas av vissa sjukdomar. Skiftarbete påverkar människans biologiska dygnsrytm och inte ens personer som ständigt arbetar skift kan ställa om kroppen rent fysiologiskt efter de oregelbundna arbetstiderna. Inom arbetst
The aim of this essay is to treat regional identities in Scania during the late Iron Age. I will present means and ways used by archaeologists in order to map regional identity through archaeological material. I will then present the material in Scania. How has the Scanian material been interpreted by previous scientists, and can regional identities be discerned in late Iron Age Scania? To answer
I avtalsrätten utgörs en central princip av pacta sunt servanda – löften ska hållas. Denna princip, som på ytan kanske inte ser ut att innebära några svårigheter, kan leda till bekymmer sett inom ramen för användandet av letter of intent respektive letter of comfort. I det moderna näringslivet har ett flertal sätt att sluta kommersiella avtal vuxit fram och lett till att avtalslagens anbud-accepOne fundamental principle within the field of contract law is pacta sunt servanda - agreements must be kept. This principle, which on the surface might not seem very complicated, may cause problems when applied on the use of letter of intent and letter of comfort. In the modern business world several ways of entering commercial contracts have arisen, causing the offer-and-acceptance-model provide
The recent events of piracy, especially in the Gulf of Aden raised the concerns of the international community, shipping businesses as well as the marine insurance industries. The drastic increase in piratical incidents and the costs associated with them started a discussion as to the piracy coverage under modern marine insurance policies. Piracy has oscillated through history between being treate
Sustainable development “which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” (WCED 1987) is a global development objective of paramount importance. However, on the ground, ‘sustainable development’ is – in my experience – often little more than a buzzword for securing grants. From a strong sus-tainability standpoint, this thesis doc
The question was asked whether or not it was possible to discern a connection between architecture, house functions and household activities among three-aisled longhouses at Lockarp, Malmö. Traces of postholes, along with the findings of artefacts and burnt herb seeds, constituted the major material culture left for revision by this study. The data used was based on reports from the excavation pro
This paper is a study of Vitruvius and the lifting devices he describes in his work De Architecura. The aim of this paper is to figure out how truthful Vitruvius' statement about the rarity of cranes is. I also explore what sort of education Vitruvius expected an architect to have; thereby stating that a certain level of competence was expected of the people who constructed and handled such li
The year 1645, the Danish county 'Halland' became a province under the Swedish state. In this essay i study which cultural impact this change in nationality meant for the local population in Halland. I also look at other cultural patterns expressed by people in the 17th century. The studied material consists of so called 'suppliker', a kind of petitions which people could use to as
This paper takes a critical look at current methodologies used by business for assessing impacts on indigenous communities dependent upon natural resources for the maintenance of their traditional way of life. It argues that new human-centered, holistic and bottom-up approaches can contribute to a greater understanding of direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of resource development on indigenou
This study is an attempt to determine to what extent the friezes on the columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius depict actual military practices with respect to the equipment worn by legionaries and soldiers of the regular auxilia. Both columns display a very strict separation between citizen soldiers and auxiliary troops in terms of armor and weaponry, but the specific components that comprise the
