Argues that there is no reason to dismiss species recognition as a possible cause of evolutionary change in moth sex pheromones. Selection for species recognition cannot explain all of the diversity in sex pheromones and the data supporting this contention are weak, but the alternative causes suggested, invoking mate choice between conspecifics as the mechanism of sexual selection, has no empirica
Only for three of the known defects in the metabolism of the amino acidsGABA, glycine, serine, and proline has a more-or-less efficient treatment been reported: the GABA catabolic defect, succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (vigabatrin, causing substrate depletion by inhibition of GABA transaminase); the glycine catabolic defect, nonketotic hyperglycinemia (diet combined with benzoate a
The main purpose of this thesis has been to investigate the possible influence that Origen's eschatology, and above all his teaching of apokatastasis, has had for the Venerable Bede's teachings on postmortem purgation and punishment of the soul. The general question behind the work is what importance Origen's teachings has had for the later doctrine of Purgatory. I have limited the inv
Sammanfattning Modern teknologi har medfört helt nya möjligheter för museum att nå ut till en global marknad. Museum har tagit sig an omfattande digitaliseringsprojekt och lanserar numera sina konstkollektioner online. Digitaliseringen omfattar även konstverk som tillhör public domain, vilket betyder att vem som helst är tillåten att mångfaldiga och sprida verken. Problematik uppstår när museum häSummary Modern technology offer entirely new possibilities for museums to reach out on a global market. Museums have undertaken far-reaching mass digitisation projects of their art collections and have established online collections. The digitisation comprises both copyrighted and public domain works of art. Public domain works of art are free for everyone to distribute and reproduce. Problems ari
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how the consequences of Russias food embargo on the EU, USA, Canada, Australia and Norway from 2014 is depicted in the government owned newpaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta. This is done by means of a qualitative textual analysis according to professors Lennart Hellspong and Per Ledin, complemented by Russian linguistic research. The analysis is executed with a focu
This study aims to contribute to solving the mystery associated with smart investment strategies. It seems impossible to find an extraordinary investment strategy that can outperform the usual returns on the market. Including 116 stocks from Stockholmsbörsens large and mid cap, this study examines if alpha values are stable over time, and if so an investment in a portfolio based on high alpha valu
This Masters’ Thesis aimed to explore the possibilities that the new generation of portable hardware called wearables presents us with. More powerful and smaller devices with a wide array of sensors and cameras are not only becoming possible, but available at prices that are affordable to the average consumer in the first world. But as powerful as modern day technology is, things such as advanced
The purpose was to investigate whether the Merton Model works in emerging markets and if it does how efficient it works there compared to in mature markets. Findings show that the Merton model works in emerging markets and considers country specific information, yet only through stock prices and volatility. However, the model does not account for quality and availability of information in thes
An analysis of the dialogue between Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness and Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice, in terms of androgyny, the uncanny, and unity/disunity.
In 2017 the Swedish government takes the decision that conscription will be reactivated after eight years of sleep. Major system changes like this need time to find their path so they are able to produce. Therefore, several questions are raised ahead of the reactivation of the conscription. This study answers to the question why the conscription was taken back in service. The answer and driving fo
Differentiating between compounds and phrases can often be difficult. One of the main reasons for this is a compound and a phrase can have the same surface form. In this essay atypical noun- noun combination, which could be possible compounds are investigated. The research questions for this essay include if these combinations are compounds or phrases, what these noun-noun combinations look like a
The UK was considered to be one of Sweden’s best friends and allies in the European Union. When the UK decided to leave in 2016, Sweden was forced to reconsider their strategy for maximising its influence in the union. In 2020 Sweden’s strategy to join the frugal four seemed to become more permanent. The frugal four is a group of nations including, Denmark, The Netherlands, Austria and Sweden. The
Ecuador has experienced a drastic political transformation since the return to neoliberalism under the reign of president Lenin Moreno. Political contentions between the government, environmentalists, and indigenous peoples have led to increased social resistance, protesting the use of extractivism and other neoliberal policies to increase economic growth and relieve national debt. In 2019, the Wa
Around the world the rise of populist and anti-globalization forces can be seen. In Sweden this movement is prevalent as well, as the populist party the Sweden Democrats is experiencing a substantial increase in support. The reason for this is a widely debated subject amongst scholars. One potential explanation for the rise of populism could be the increased imports from China in recent years. Pre
Teachers in Sweden are instructed not just to teach their subject but also fundamental values. However, educators are given no guidelines as to how to do this. It therefore becomes relevant to research how language teachers can use literary works in school to ensure that students acquire knowledge about themes found in the curriculum, thus combining an important part from the subject’s contents wi
Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of CEO narcissism in relation to corporate performance and whether there are distinct differences between companies earlier in the corporate life cycle and more mature firms. Methodology: This thesis uses quantitative method with a deductive approach. Five regression models were constructed to investigate the research question. Theore
The thesis explored how waste could be prevented through public procurement in the public institutions on the Danish island, Bornholm. The island has set an ambitious vision, ‘Bornholm showing the way – without waste 2032’, aiming for 100 % waste recycling and reuse by 2032. To reach the vision, it is essential to include waste prevention, particularly dematerialisation before goods are procured o
Ekonomiska verktyg för bevisning, exempelvis SSNIP-testet, kan utgöra problem inom konkurrensrätten då ekonomer har mindre förståelse för juridik och jurister har mindre förståelse för ekonomi. Konkurrensrätt är ett ämne som starkt präglas av ekonomisk bevisning på grund av ämnets ekonomiska natur. Det är därav av värde att beskriva och analysera förutsättningarna och gränserna för när SSNIP-testeEconomic evidence tools, such as the SSNIP-test, can pose practical problems in competition law since economists have little understanding of the law and lawyers have little understanding of economics. Competition law is characterized by economic evidence because of the economic nature of the subject. Therefore, it is of value to describe and analyse the conditions and limits for when the SSNIP-te
