Although the frequency of extra-pair paternity (EPP) has been described for many species, the relative importance of the various contemporary and historical factors explaining EPP variation is still the subject of debate. In this study, we found 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the Savi's Warbler (Locustella luscinioides), and used eight loci to analyze the paternity of 392 nestlings belongin

[1] A forward atmospheric transport modeling experiment has been coordinated by the TransCom group to investigate synoptic and diurnal variations in CO2. Model simulations were run for biospheric, fossil, and air-sea exchange of CO2 and for SF6 and radon for 2000-2003. Twenty-five models or model variants participated in the comparison. Hourly concentration time series were submitted for 280 sites

During the 1980s and 1990s more and more countries opened up their economies to trade and increased their volumes of trade. In the same period of time it has been said that income inequality increased in many parts of the world. The aim of this thesis is to discover whether increased income inequality can be related to trade openness. This relationship is studied using three different hypotheses.

This report aims at a fire safety evaluation of PIVA, the psychiatric intensive care ward in Växjö. There are six beds in the ward but sometimes there are more patients and sometimes less. In PIVA patients are treated from one to six days. The report mainly focuses on prospective evacuation of the ward and on the improvements required for a satisfactory evacuation. The current fire protection has

The thesis identifies past and present mechanisms that contributed to the change in the roles and statuses of the Romanian women as workers, mothers and students actively involved in educational programs. Sweden was chosen as term for comparison, because both Romanian and Sweden have social democratic welfare state regimes, but still promote different social policies, generally speaking, and, in p

This bachelor thesis contains the justification of Guantanamo Bay. How the U.S.A has justified Guantanamo Bay and how the Human Rights Watch has rejected U.S.A's arguments. This study about Human Rights Watch's and U.S.A's argumentation regarding Guantanamo Bay, has been reconstructed and interconnected with ethical perspectives as rule-based action, end-based action and the problem of

The purpose of this study was to examine how young women with a self mutilation behaviour uses the chat room Zebraforum on the internet and how that can be apart of constructing an identity. The study is based on the women's autobiographical stories. There were over 350 different auto- biographical stories to choose from and of those 36 were chosen for analysis. Theory of youth culture has bee

In the early 1900s the district Eneborg grew up in southeastern Helsingborg. No. 8 in the block called Sländan was more expensive than average houses in the district, directed against the new cemetery and intended for officials and others in the lower middle class. As many of our older buildings, Sländan 8 has large deficiencies when it comes to energy and one could make significant savings, both

The purpose of the study is to investigate how much interest media has shown selected topics in the corporate governance systems in Germany and Sweden. The four selected aspects are: ownership structure, employee representation on the boards, disclosure of board members’ compensation and female directors on the boards. The reasons for and consequences of the similarities and differences will also

Nature provides science and society with a virtually unlimited supply of structurally diverse and biologically active molecules; the natural products. While some are directly useful in commercial applications, others are valuable for studying and understanding biological phenomena at the molecular level. An example is the signaling of nerve cells, which has been explored in considerable detail usi

Background: Propionibacterium acnes is a commensal of human skin but is also known to be involved in certain diseases, such as acne vulgaris and infections of orthopaedic implants. Treatment of these conditions is complicated by increased resistance to antibiotics and/or biofilm formation of P. acnes bacteria. P. acnes can be infected by bacteriophages, but until recently little has been known abo

Context. To study the evolution of Li in the Galaxy it is necessary to observe dwarf or subgiant stars. These are the only long-lived stars whose present-day atmospheric chemical composition reflects their natal Li abundances according to standard models of stellar evolution. Although Li has been extensively studied in the Galactic disk and halo, to date there has only been one uncertain detection

Background and Aims: Small bowel manometry is increasingly used in the clinical investigation of patients with symptoms of intestinal motor dysfunction. Enteric dysmotility (ED) has been suggested as a new diagnostic term for patients with abnormal intestinal motor activity but no radiological signs of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIP). Histopathological features of adult patients with E

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste årtiondena har prestandan i elektriska kretsar växt i en rasande takt. Detta har lett till otaliga innovationer som har förbättrat samhället. Grunden till denna utveckling grundar sig i två uppfinningar: transistorn och den integrerade kresten. Till skillnad från många andra grundläggande elektroniska komponenter har en transistor tre elektroder. En e
