In order to assess the potential of hydropsychid capture net anomalies as a bioindicator of chronic toxicity in streams and rivers, the effects of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) exposure on the net-spinning behavior of Hydropsyche slossonae were examined for anomalies after 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 exposure days to gradient concentration of 2,4-dichlorophenol. The net-spinning behavior was significantly

This paper reports on a test of the validity of Pienemann's (1998) Processability Theory (PT). This theory predicts that certain morphological and syntactic phenomena are acquired in a fixed sequence. Three phenomena were chosen for this study: attributive adjective morphology, predicative adjective morphology, and subordinate clause syntax (placement of negation). These phenomena are located at s

Collective collapse occurs when a majority of the players in a team suddenly perform below expected level in a match, in spite of a satisfactory start, or when a team underperforms right from the start. Research results from a study on 146 male players and 15 coaches in various team sports at the elite level, and a study on a team involved in a collective collapse, and the opposite, a winning turn

A radioactive fallout following a nuclear accident can result in contamination of large areas of land. In order to protect human health against ionizing radiation, large-scale decontamination that includes multiple sets of clean-up measures may be necessary. Sweden lacks national experience of this type of large-scale decontamination. There are thus great uncertainties in the effect of such a deco

Denna studie syftar till att få kunskap vad gäller hur myndigheter kan bedriva övertygande samhällskampanjer genom att nyttja digitala kommunikationsplattformar. Studien är genomförd med en kvalitativ metod, tillsammans med ett abduktivt tillvägagångssätt från ett digitalt kommunikationsperspektiv. För att kunna besvara forskningsfrågorna har sjutton Facebook-inlägg publicerade av myndigheten RegiThis thesis aims to gain knowledge regarding how authorities can run convincing public communication campaigns through the usage of digital communication platforms. The thesis is conducted qualitatively with an abductive approach from a digital communication perspective. In order to answer the research questions, seventeen Facebook posts published by the public organization Region Skåne were analy

Mänskliga kvarlevor förstås inte längre bara som föremål utan också som avlidna individer. Utställda mänskliga kvarlevor kan ha en suggestiv kraft som ger dem liv genom mötet med besökare, tillspetsat skulle man kunna säga att de befinner sig i ett slags limbo mellan liv och död. Denna studie jämför museiutställningar som innehåller mänskliga kvarlevor mellan tre europeiska länder. Syftet med uppHuman remains are nowadays understood not solely as objects but also as deceased individuals. Exhibited human remains may possess a suggestive power that gives them life through the encounter with visitors, to the point that one could say that they are in a kind of limbo between life and death. This study seeks to compare the museal exhibitions containing human remains in three countries within Eu

Menopause is a transitional process often hidden from society. Menopause can have varying degrees of effects on individuals, however there are possible enormous effects which can have impacts on individuals personal and professional lives. The following thesis explores menopause as a sociological phenomenon. The research specifically looks into how experiences of menopause appear in the workplace

In Swedish hospitals, medical emergency teams, including nurse anaesthetists, are called in the event of a cardiac arrest. Previous research shows that nurses feel ill-prepared for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) events. The quality of teamwork is considered the key to safe and effective treatment of the critically ill patient. Aim: To describe nurse anaesthetists’ experiences of teamwork duri

Glaciala sediment- och landformskonstellationer har länge använts för att rekonstruera inlandsisens dynamik och rörelser under Kvartärperioden, specifikt så för den senaste glaciationen i norra Europa och södra Skandinavien. En sådan sediment- och landformskonstellation är ’småkullig morän’, som tidigare har använts som en övergripande och beskrivande term starkt associerad med dödisutsmältning ocGlacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with

A growing body of literature within political ecology is concerned with the exercise of political and economic power within climate change policies (Robbins, 2020). In this thesis, I explore the political economy of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), using methodological reflections and empirical material from a case study of a Ugandan smallholder agricultural community. To assess how local communit

Acoustophoresis is a cell separation technology where particles or cells are suspended in a fluid container and subject to acoustic standing waves. The standing waves exerts an acoustic radiation force on the particles, pushing them towards the nodal plane. This movement is called migration, and the migration velocity depends on the acoustic mobility of the particle, which depend on the particle s

Anthropogenic activities such as hydropower exploitation have been one of the main drivers of anadromous fish biodiversity loss during the past century. This has led to genetic homogenization and to the reduction of positive mechanisms such as the “portfolio effect”. In this study we propose the first comprehensive analysis of the genetic differences in Salmo salar and Salmo trutta populations in

Sweden’s old-growth forests are disappearing due to the ever-increasing demand for timber. To protect them from logging, a specific articulation of environmental activism has gained momentum in recent years: biodiversity inventorying. Citizens (inventoryers) visit forests registered for logging to look for endangered species and turn their observation data into a powerful weapon of nature conserva

The language of newspapers in the public sphere has a crucial impact on how the public perceives and participates in society. It can serve to encourage or counteract active and informed citizens; in fact, it is a crucial element in democratisation processes. The purposes of the present study are to elucidate what means of persuasion are used to support theses on politics in newspaper discourse dur

Climate change poses significant challenges, demonstrated by climate threats that are becoming increasingly severe and frequent. This creates a higher need for uncertainty communication that considers risk-based decision-making. Global climate research, synthesised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a starting point for regional climate assessments, for which the Swedish M

Denna studie undersöker hur mobilanvändning förhandlas icke-verbalt i livekonsertsammanhang och hur digitala teknologier omformulerar normer för närvaro, uppmärksamhet och social ordning i fysiska offentliga rum. Trots mobiltelefonens synlighet i samtidens vardagsliv har tidigare forskning inom medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap främst fokuserat på digitala plattformar och medierat innehåll, snaraThis study examines how smartphone use is negotiated in live concert settings and how digital technologies reshape norms of presence, attention, and social order in physical public spaces. While smartphones are highly visible in contemporary everyday life, previous research within media and communication studies has primarily focused on digital platforms, technological affordances, or mediated con

The stability of therapeutic proteins is crucial for maintaining their efficacy and safety. Misfolded or aggregated proteins can accelerate aggregation by a seeding effect, altering protein stability and interactions. Heat-induced aggregates can pose a risk because they can have perturbed structures that expose aggregate-prone regions. This study explored seeding by heat-induced protein aggregates
