The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is affected by anthropogenic activities in Swedish waters, and the individuals found in the Öresund belong to the Belt Sea population, which is classified as ´vulnerable´. Boat traffic is known to have a negative impact on porpoises. Behavioural responses to such disturbances are context-dependent, and locally specific knowledge is needed for effective mana

The 19th century in Europe was marked by major changes in the clothing supply of households. The availability of new textile materials changed the conditions for consumption and possession of clothing. Much more garments came to be made from purchased and imported fabrics, people’s wardrobes grew in volume, and cotton became an increasingly common and everyday commodity. Though it is well known th

As many arthropods, telecoprid dung beetles are deeply affected by anthropogenic pressures, including the extensive use of pesticides. Ivermectin, the main endectocide employed to treat livestock nowadays, drives population and species loss, and causes locomotion and sensory disorders in dung beetles. Imidacloprid, the major insecticide used to combat crop pests, is highly toxic towards pollinator

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
