Bumblebees (Bombus spp.) are important wild bee pollinators in colder climates, making them one of the main pollinators in Scandinavia. In Sweden, the composition and abundance of bumblebee species has shifted dramatically since the 1940s, putting the ecological stability and productivity of crops and wild plants at risk. It has been proposed that the change in bumblebee abundance is linked to the
Rysk-amerikanska Emma Goldman och kinesiska He-Yin Zhen kom från två olika delar av världen och var aktiva inom olika kunskapstraditioner och kulturer. Ändå var de båda anarkister som kämpade för kvinnlig frigörelse, och båda var de kritiska till de samtida rörelserna som stred för kvinnors politiska rättigheter. Det finns få studier som jämför tidig amerikansk feminism med tidig kinesisk feminism
The European Commission’s Decisions addressing tax rulings which came into the public domain in November 2014 as constituting State Aid (contrary to Article 107 TFUE) after Lux-Leaks have generated some discussion. Of paramount interest in this thesis is the Commission’s declaration in the Belgium Excess Profits, Fiat and Starbucks Decisions that the European Union has its own ALP (hereinafter cal
Development towards a connected world where anything can talk to anything is ongoing. Calvin is a research project at Ericsson that simplifies the development of peer-to-peer applications for the Internet of Things. Calvin is created in order to let the developer of an application for the Internet of Things focus on the implementation instead of having to worry about underlying protocols, hardware
In an attempt to bridge the gap between active and passive investing, Smart Beta strategies have become a popular alternative for investors given their systematic, rules-based approach to portfolio construction and historical tendency to capture market inefficiencies. In this thesis, we examine the performance of Smart Beta strategies versus the S&P 500 and the Euro Stoxx 600 index for time pe
When different professions meet – a qualitative study of healthcare counselors in interprofessional teams within the healthcare The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the experiences of healthcare counselors associated with interdicplinary team work in health care and what is considered important factors for the development of the profession itself. This research is based on 7 i
The retail industry is in an ongoing transformation with new customer behaviors. In an omni-channel environment, multiple channels are integrated and the customer has a more central role within retail. Customers in an omnichannel environment are in general well-informed, digitally mature and have high demands towards the retailers they interact with. Traditionally, retailers could differentiate th
The production of heavy-salted cod (Bacalao) has changed from being a single-step process (kench) salting to a multistep procedure varying between producers and countries. Presalting by injection, brining, or pickling is increasingly applied prior to pile (dry) salting. This article describes the effects of different presalting methods (injection and brining, brining only, and pickling) on yield a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie omfattar tidsperioderna ordovicium, silur och äldsta devon. Silurperioden sträcker sig från 444 till 416 miljoner år sedan och karakteriseras av globala miljö- och klimatförändringar. Vid denna tid hade djur och växter börjat kolonisera land, land som tidigare varit ödsligt och kargt. Min studie visar att det i Skåne då redan fanns en flora bestående av priThe Silurian through earliest Devonian, between ca 444 and 412 million years ago, was characterized by significant changes in global climate and environment. At that time, plants and animals had begun to expand the colonization of previous relatively desolate terrestrial landscape. Macrofossils of land plants are very rare from this period because these early land plants lacked large and robust ti
The existing literature on eco-labeling and green consumerism has been framed within a classical market context where price and quality are the drivers of consumer choice. However, it seems possible that consumers are also concerned about the choices made by other consumers. In fact, it is unclear that people's consumption decisions are made independently of social context. For instance, under the
The social surroundings in which an individual grows up and spends his or her everyday life have an effect on his or her life chances. Much of the research into this phenomenon focuses on so-called neighborhood effects and has put particular emphasis on the negative effects of growing up in a poor neighborhood. Originating from the sociological study of inner-city problems in the United States, th
Patterning of high-quality two-dimensional chalcogenide crystals with unique planar structures and various fascinating electronic properties offers great potential for batch fabrication and integration of electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, it remains a challenge that requires accurate control of the crystallization, thickness, position, orientation and layout. Here we develop a method
While intercellular communication processes are frequently characterized by switch-like transitions, the endocrine system, including the adipose tissue response to insulin, has been characterized by graded responses. Yet here individual cells from adipose tissue biopsies are best described by a switch-like transition between the basal and insulin-stimulated states for the trafficking of the glucos
There are currently several commercially available radiotherapy treatment units without a flattening filter in the beam line. Unflattened photon beams have an energy and lateral fluence distribution that is different from conventional beams and, thus, their attenuation properties differ. As a consequence, for flattening filter free (FFF) beams, the relationship between the beam-quality specifier T
