Abstract in Undetermined How signal diversity evolves under stabilizing selection in a pheromone-based mate recognition system is a conundrum. Female moths produce two major types of sex pheromones, i.e., long-chain acetates, alcohols and aldehydes (Type I) and polyenic hydrocarbons and epoxides (Type II), along different biosynthetic pathways. Little is known on how male pheromone receptor (PR) gHow signal diversity evolves under stabilizing selection in a pheromone-based mate recognitionsystem is a conundrum.

Barnpornografibrott innebär att ett barn har utsatts för ett sexuellt övergrepp. Ett övergrepp som dessutom har dokumenterats och kan spridas vidare. I svensk lagstiftning utgör det emellertid inte ett sexualbrott, utan ett brott mot allmän ordning. Till följd av detta har barnet inte en självklar ställning som målsägande, det har istället staten. Om barnet inte har målsägandeställning finns det iWhen a child pornography crime is committed, it means that a child has been subjected to sexual abuse. The abuse has been documented and can be spread. In Swedish law, child pornography crime does not constitute a sex crime; instead, it is a crime against public order. The consequence of this is, that the child is not to be considered the victim in a legal procedure; instead the state has that pos

Purpose: In the setting of a large Swedish media organisation, the purpose of this study is to create an understanding of how internal factors (strategy, organisational structure and culture) affect the organisation's ability to handle ambidexterity and how the factors interrelate. Methodology: A qualitative single case study was conducted, from multiple levels within a large Swedish media o

The advancement of CMOS technology has been fueled by the need to satisfy Moore’s law by shrinking transistors to progressively smaller sizes and increasing the transistor density per unit area [1]. The dimension of the state-of-the-art MOSFET is now down to a few nanometers. However, with continued device scaling, the performance of Integrated Chips (ICs) starts to deteriorate, making it essentia

Amartya Sen argues that the overarching goal of development is expanding people’s choices. Yet, freedom as a goal is ambiguous as the notion is clouded by idioms of freedom dating as far back as Ancient Greece. Thus, since Sen claims to have universalist presumptions, this thesis discusses and analyzes Sen’s notion of freedom from a classical philosophical perspective – mainly drawing from Leo Str

The thesis is concerning the VAT treatment of small undertakings in the EU. Both analytic and descriptive writing methods are used to achieve its aim. VAT requires higher compliance costs compared with other taxes. However, the fact that the compliance burden of VAT is highly regressive as size decreases necessitates the special treatment SMEs. In line with this, the current VAT Directive also ex

THIS MASTER THESIS is about making diving more accessible. The experience of diving is today relying on a complex set of equipment and infrastructure, thus most people with a certificate seldom use it. My intention is to evolve diving equipment, which has looked the same since the sixties, and by doing that simplifying the experience of diving. The goal is to create a solution positioning itself

This report incorporates a product styling development concept carried out on Scania a vehicle manufacturer known for its premium long haulage trucks, located in Södertälje, Sweden. The report consists of the development of the writers’ conception and implementation of the term “Driver Focus” on Scanias truck interior. The project is carried out using various different industrial design techniques

One by one, municipalities around Sweden have started their policies and activities to tackle unemployment. Lund municipality has since 2020 expanded its employment services. This study analyses the employment services implementation in Lund municipality's local government regime. The analysis is done mainly through the lenses of the implementation theory of Lipsky’s (1980; 2010) on street-lev

This thesis explores the lived experiences of Yemeni individuals with marginalization in context of the contemporary civil war. Experiences on the margin are approached from a multifaceted framework which allows for a contextual understanding of how Yemeni bodies face social, political and economic exclusion. In-depth semi-structured interviews with seven Yemeni individuals provide this study with

Although most individuals consider gambling to be an innocent and fun activity, when it develops into problem gambling (PG), it can have detrimental outcomes to one’s life, such as over-indebtedness. This study explores the role of maladaptive personality traits and gender in both PG and over-indebtedness, in an online sample of 1479 adult gamblers in Sweden. Participants were administered the Pro

Flooding is a major risk to the ever increasing urban population, posing a threat to human lives but also causing traffic interruptions, economic losses and pollution. Built up areas are prone to flooding due to the changes of previously pervious surfaces being covered by buildings and impervious pavements, such as asphalt. Furthermore, the resulting increased surface runoff does often not get rou
