Identification of agricultural pest insects is an important aspect in insect research and agricultural monitoring. We have performed a methodological study of how spectroscopic techniques and wing-beat frequency analysis might provide relevant information. An optical system based on the combination of close-range remote sensing and reflectance spectroscopy was developed to study the optical charac
Introduction. Radioiodine and most cytostatic treatments are contraindicated in pregnancy. Still, inadvertent therapy does occur. Radioiodine was given to two pregnant women with Graves' disease and thyroid cancer respectively, both in their 20th gestational week. Routine pregnancy tests based on urinary β-hCG had failed to indicate pregnancy in both cases. Methods. Estimation of doses to the foet
It is of central interest in membrane proteomics to establish methods that combine efficient solubilization with enrichment of proteins and intact protein complexes. We have investigated the quantitative and qualitative solubilization efficiency of five commercially available detergents using mitochondria from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as model system. Combining the zwitterionic detergent
A new predictive formula for the total longshore sediment transport (LST) rate was developed from principles of sediment transport physics assuming that breaking waves mobilize the sediment, which is subsequently moved by a mean current. Six high-quality data sets on hydrodynamics and sediment transport collected during both field and laboratory conditions were employed to evaluate the predictive
Twenty-four adult patients who had been operated on as infants for isolated cleft lip underwent clinical examination combined with photographic documentation using a digital camera. The same predetermined protocol comprising 20 variables describing nasolabial appearance was used for both the clinical examination and the computerised evaluation of the images. The correlation between the two methods
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling innehåller fem essäer behandlande ett antal olika frågor inom området empirisk finansiell ekonomi.

Chapter 2 studies a new multivariate technique, Orthogonal GARCH, of forecasting large covariance matrices based on GARCH models. Orthogonal GARCH is built on principal component analysis and makes the creation of positive definite covariance matrices of arbitrary size possible. An important d
Bytesrätten har utvecklats i samklang med den svenska bostadspolitiken. Under tidigt 1900-tal fanns det en stark liberal inställning till relationen mellan hyresgäster och hyresvärdar. I 1907 års nyttjanderättslag (1907:36), NyttjL, gällde grundläggande avtalsrättsliga principer. Hyresgäster fick enbart säga upp kontrakt om hyresvärden nekade dem överlåtelse av kontraktet utan skälig anledning. I The right to barter a rented apartment has developed in harmony with the Swedish housing policy. During the early twentieth century a strong liberal doctrine dominated the relationship between tenants and landlords. The usufruct law (nyttjanderättslagen) from 1907, was based on contractual principles. Contracts could be for as long as 25 years in the towns and tenants were only allowed to terminat
This essay is written in collaboration with the Environment Department in Malmö. The essay is a study in how the recycling of waste caused by visitors at major public events works. These events last for a shorter period of time and usually attract large numbers of visitors, thus large amounts of waste are produced during this short period. Previous investigations show that only a few major events
Syftet med denna studie var att se om man kan påverka individers upplevelser av en förhandling med hjälp av kunskap om Fisher & Shapiros (2005) fem kärnpunkter. Kärnpunkternas mål är att generera positiva känslor och bevara goda relationer i en förhandling. Deltagarna var med om ett experiment där hälften av deltagarna fick undervisning i kärnpunkterna och hälften inte. Därefter deltog samtligThe purpose of this study was to examine whether we could affect individual’s experiences of a negotiation by teaching them about Fisher & Shapiro’s five core concerns of negotiation (Fisher & Shapiro 2005). The core concerns aim to generate positive emotions and maintain good relationship within negotiations. The participants took part in an experiment in which half of them received educa
The transcription factor WUSCHEL and the peptide CLAVATA3 have key roles to plat in the regulatory network effecting the differentiation of the stem cells at the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis. The signal pathway of this network has been under investigation for several years and models utilizing the already identified parts of the network have been developed. Such models have however so fa
This study has examined how the right edge of a discourse topic is signaled through the use of F0, duration, and particles in the two Aslian languages Jahai and Mah Meri. The goals of this study were to contribute to the knowledge of these languages, compare them to the related Kammu language in the search for similarities that could be applied to Austroasiatic as a whole, and to explore what kind
Denna uppsats undersöker gränserna för ansvarsfriheten vid våld utövat i nödvärn enligt svensk rätt och granskar de rättspolitiska överväganden som ligger till grund för gränsdragningarna i lag och praxis. Framställningen är avgränsad till angrepp mot person och behandlar inte straffmätningen vid överskriden nödvärnsrätt. En grundläggande förutsättning för ansvarsfrihet är att rätt till nödvärn fThis paper examines the Swedish law relating to the limits of violence applied when exercising self-defence and explores the prescriptive considerations underlying law and practice.

Since the beginning of the 1960’s, there has been a widening gap in GDP per capita between the countries in the regions of East Asia & Pacific and Sub-Saharan Africa. By growing more and shrinking less, some but not all, developing countries have deviated from a state of underdevelopment and caught up with the developed world. Moreover, it has been argued that the biggest chance of catching up
The forest fire that started in the vicinity of Sala in Västmanland 31 July 2014 ended up in being considered to be the biggest forest fire in Sweden for decades. Crisis management as we knew it got a punch on its nose so to speak. Municipalities, fire departments as well as governmental organizations got involved in something they never handled before and maybe for the first time they all had to
