Crustaceans inhabit a wide variety of habitats, from the open ocean to ephemeral pools. Within these habitats, crustaceans play key roles as herbivores, detritivores, and predators, and interact with competitors ranging from conspecifics to other crustaceans to diverse assemblages of invertebrates.

The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has made it easier than ever to create chatbots capable of generating human-like responses to user inputs. Moreover, improvements in text-to-speech and speech-to-text make it possible to converse with these systems, not just in text but also through speech. These improvements have led to an increase in chatbot applications across various contexts, such

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling utgår från den betydande variationen i försäljning av antidepressiva läkemedel mellan olika geografiska områden. Allmänläkare förskriver cirka två tredjedelar av dessa läkemedel. Syftet med forskningsprojektet var dels att kartlägga allmänläkares uppfattningar om depression och faktorer som kan ha betydelse för deras sätt att behandla patienter med deprThis thesis emanates from considerations about the inter-regional variation of the sales of antidepressive drugs, and how general practitioners may contribute to that variation. The thesis comprises two data collections utilized for five separate studies. The first data set emerges from interviews with seventeen general practitioners and is used for papers I and II. The first paper reports on gene
