The spread of multiuse landscape worldwide has drastically increased humanwildlife interactions and especially negative impacts of wildlife on human assets. Human-wildlife interactions threaten both biodiversity conservation and farmers’ livelihood, especially in low-income areas where farming practices are their main source of income. In Zimbabwe, wildlife damage to crops and livestock creates te

Given the severe land-use and land-cover change pressure on tropical forests and the high demand for field observations of ecosystem characteristics, it is crucial to collect such data both in pristine tropical forests and in the converted deforested land-cover classes. To gain insight into the ecosystem characteristics of pristine tropical forests (EFs), regrowth forests (RFs), and cashew plantat

Amphetamine has widespread effects on multiple neurotransmitter systems, potentially altering the physiological connectivity and network dynamics across various regions of the brain. In this study, we investigated the effects of D-amphetamine using our previously published approach where electrocorticogram (ECoG) recordings from eight cortical areas provided a coarse estimation of the global activ

Background: Gut dysbiosis and gut-brain-axis involvement in people with Parkinson's disease (PwP) support the use of gut-microbiota-modulating interventions. Probiotics may help manage constipation in PwP; however, mechanisms underpinning additional beneficial properties are unknown. Objective: The aim was evaluating the effects of a probiotic (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophil

In May 2024 with a subsequent update in June 2025, the Swedish Medical Products Agency’s expert group revised guidelines on the management and treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. This is an abridged version and commentary on the full recommendation including specific recommendations for the RSV-season 2025/2026. Key points are: (i) RSV is a seasonal, highly contagious infecti

The production, consumption and disposal of plastics in today’s economies simultaneously contribute to climate change and pollution. With expected production growth for plastics, these problems will only exacerbate. To address the plastic crisis, we need a reduction of its production, as well as a fundamental rethinking of our relationship with this material. Reorganising economies to be less reli

CONTEXT: Statin use is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and mild hyperglycemia. The underlying mechanisms are not well studied and the effect of statin treatment on GLP-1 secretion or production are unknown.OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of rosuvastatin on GLP-1 secretion and production.METHODS: We performed association studies in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study cardiovascular c

From the mid-eighteenth century, anecdotesand anecdote collections proliferated in Swedishpublications. This essay explores the evolvingrole of anecdotes in relation to broader shifts inthe media landscape, particularly regarding his-toriographical practices, the public sphere, mar-ket dynamics, and readership patterns. In theeighteenth century, the anecdote collections ofCarl Christoffer Gjörwell

The main focus of this thesis is on the puzzle of small systems, which arose when several signatures of the medium of quarks and gluons formed in heavy ion collisions were also observed in collisions of small systems, except for jet energy loss. To understand why that could be happening, papers I, III and IV focus on quantifying the sensitivity of different observables to medium interactions, wher

This bachelor’s thesis in publishing science examines the paratextual marketing of feminist retellings of Greek myths, and how it has developed from the year 2005 through 2022. Feminist retellings is a genre that has become a trend in recent years, with massive bestsellers such as Madeline Miller’s Circe, which was published in 2018, spearheading the trend. Before there was Miller however, there w

Uppsatsens fokus är den fysiska boken och frågan om denna fysiska bok åtnjuter ett värde på den samtida och digitalt präglade bokmarknaden. Följdfrågan blir om man genom ett sådant värde kan förstå pappersboken som ett fysiskt och materiellt föremål med plats för minnen och för den omätbara, sinnliga uppmärksamheten. Uppsatsen bygger på teorin om ett värde, teorin om paratexten och en utvidgande tThe focus of this essay, titled ”…lingering, thanks to its material slowness in the room”, is the physical book and the question if this physical book has any value on the contemporary and digital book market. Another question is if in that case it would be possible to understand the physical book as an object of memories and of non-measurable, sensuous attention. The essay is based on the theory

This study investigates code-switching by Swedish English speakers in text-based online discourse. Although many studies have been devoted to CS and some to text-based online discourse, there is a gap in research regarding Swedish English CS in this context. This study fills the gap using comments from Swedish YouTube short-form videos, which were placed into 6 categories based on what the switch

Magnesium är bland de lättaste metaller och har potential att bidra till minskad klimatpåverkan inom många områden. Med sin låga densitet på 1,74 g/cm³ kan lättviktsmaterial av magnesium minska energiförbrukning. Dessutom är metallen biologiskt nedbrytbar, vilket gör den perfekt för medicinska implantat som inte behöver opereras ut. Utmaningen är att ren magnesium är för svag och för spröd för de Magnesium (Mg) alloys are very light materials that could be useful for many applications. Typical technology for most Mg alloys involves casting followed by solid solution heat treatment. Due to the complexity of some Mg alloy systems, single-step solution treatments cannot achieve dissolution of all secondary phases. Those may require different solutionizing temperatures, creating a need for two
