Popular science Dissolve organic carbon degradation in the estuarine environment Dissolve Organic Carbon (DOC) is transported to the estuarine systems via river runoff where it is largely degraded by microbial communities. The availability of DOC effects aquatic ecosystems by causing changes in the bioavailability of toxic compounds, and by increasing the acidity of water . DOC degradation causes Terrestrially-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is transported to estuarine systems via river runoff, where it is largely degraded by microbial communities. I studied the combined influence of salinity (NaCl), microbial community (marine vs. freshwater) and inorganic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability on DOC degradation rates in 10 major rivers in Sweden sampled during summer. The D

Reviewing the historical legacy of colonialism and slavery on attitudes about race, gender and citizenship within the United States, this thesis attempts to illuminate three principle archetypes within development discourse: the Brute, the Victim and the Authority. Each of these three discursive threads, deriving from unique historical processes, provides an opposing Other against which US citizen

Tidigare forskning tyder på att imagery rescripting av tidiga och aktuella minnesbilder kopplat till negativa bilder av sig själv (sk encapsulated beliefs) är ett användbart inslag vid behandling av social fobi.Vår studie har avsett att replikera dessa resultat och mäta effekter av imagery rescripting vid social fobi. Grad av ångest kopplat till tidiga och aktuella minnesbilder, grad av livlighet Previous research indicates that imagery rescripting of both previous and current memories connected to negative self images (i.e encapsulated beliefs) is a tool in the treatment of social phobia. Our study attempted to replicate these results by measuring the effects of imagery rescripting on social phobia. The degree of anxiety connected to previous and current memories and the degree of vividne

A common feature within political debate is the decline of parties as organizations. Political theorists have in general, without proper empirical investigation, embraced the idea of the freezing of party systems and of the catch-all party model as the end point of party development. This essay aims to analyze and explain the emergence and increasing amount of political secretaries within Swedish

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utforskar vad det innebär att vara verksamhetsnära chef i en svensk kommunal omsorgsorganisation. Det forskningsprojekt som utgör avhandlings empiriska bas tillkom för att de medverkande cheferna upplevde att de hade en svår arbetssituation. Resultaten från projektet belyser chefskapets innebörd och förutsättningar, sett ur chefernas perspektiv. Det allra The present doctoral thesis aimed to explore what it means to be a first-level manages in a Swedish municipal social care administration, seen from the managers’ perspective. The empirical data derives from a participative, constructivist project which intended to contribute to new practice-based knowledge and to the learning and development of the participating managers. The participating manager

Background: The widening socioeconomic gap in smoking during pregnancy remains a challenge to the Swedish antenatal care services. However, the influence of cultural factors in explaining the socioeconomic differences in smoking during pregnancy is not clear among the immigrant women. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the development of smoking prevalence among pregnant immigrant wo

The relationship between the social political constructions; The Orient and The Occident; The East and The West; Them and Us is not a new mental synthesis. However, it was during the colonial era the idea of The Other manifested itself within the narrative. The colonial heritage is still evident in today’s discourse regarding the Diaspora. Postcolonial theory aim to create awareness around the cir

This thesis has investigated the prevailing understanding of poor leadership as a major impediment to the democratization of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Analytical studies found evidences on the correlation between the authoritarian regimes installed in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the abortive process of democratization under the leadership of Mobutu Sese Seko and Laurent-Désiré Kab

This thesis investigates the prospects of a common counter-terrorism strategy in the European Union. It analyzes how Member States’ security cultures influence the establishment of a common European counter-terrorism strategy. The study examines the differences between Member States’ security cultures under the framework of social constructivism that emphasizes the impact of the socially construct

ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the current factors affecting fertility preference and fertility behaviour in Shanghai among the first single-child generation who are now entering into their childbearing years. In order to gain a more clear understanding of fertility preference and fertility behaviour in Shanghai the following areas were explored in an attempt to discov

Ischemic stroke causes transient increase of neural stem and progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation in the subventricular zone (SVZ), and migration of newly formed neuroblasts toward the damaged area where they mature to striatal neurons. The molecular mechanisms regulating this plastic response, probably involved in structural reorganization and functional recovery, are poorly understood. The adapt

Mnemonic discrimination, the ability to distinguish similar events in memory, relies on subregions in the human medial temporal lobes (MTLs). Tau pathology is frequently found within the MTL of older adults and therefore likely to affect mnemonic discrimination, even in healthy older individuals. The MTL subregions that are known to be affected early by tau pathology, the perirhinal-transentorhina

The capacity to get rid of excess heat produced during hard work is a possible constraint on parental effort during reproduction [heat dissipation limit (HDL) theory]. We released hard-working blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) from this constraint by experimentally removing ventral plumage. We then assessed whether this changed their reproductive effort (feeding rate and nestling size) and levels ofThe capacity to get rid of excess heat produced during hard work is a possible constraint on parental effort during reproduction [heat dissipation limit (HDL) theory].

Secondary lymphedema (LE) following breast cancer-related surgery is a life-long complication, which currently has no cure. LE induces significant regional adipose tissue deposition, requiring liposuction as a treatment. Here, we aimed to elucidate the transcriptional, metabolomic, and lipidomic signature of the adipose tissue developed due to the surgery-induced LE in short- and long-term LE pati

Using electronic health records data and machine learning to guide future decisions needs to address challenges, including 1) long/short-term dependencies and 2) interactions between diseases and interventions. Bidirectional transformers have effectively addressed the first challenge. Here we tackled the latter challenge by masking one source (e.g., ICD10 codes) and training the transformer to pre

What is the role of gender in Eastern Christianity? In this volume, Orthodox experts of different disciplines and cultural backgrounds tackle this complex question. They engage critically with gender issues within their own tradition. Rather than simply accepting pervasive assumptions and practices, the authors challenge readers to reconsider historically or theologically justified views by offeri
