Disease prevalence in wildlife is governed by epidemiological parameters (infection and recovery rates) and response to infection, both of which vary within and among individual hosts. Studies quantifying these individual-scale parameters and documenting their source of variation in wild hosts are fundamental for predicting disease dynamics. Such studies do not exist for the influenza A virus (IAV

In 2000, a 5-kilometer-long exercise path called Elljusspåret was constructed in Skrylle, Sweden. Excavations of the soil on the right side of the path were made to install lampposts. A large number of Primula veris emerged from the excavated soil. This re-evaluation investigates if the P. veris population still favours the excavated side and if it could be due to change in the soil horizon chemis

Nature-based solutions (NBS) offer the potential to sustainably address environmental problems in an urban context, with environmental, social, and economic benefits. As a relatively new concept, NBS is poorly defined in the literature and there is great need for more empirical information about implementation and impacts. This case study of the city of Malmö, Sweden, attempts to understand the st

Idag har företagens varumärken gått från enbart det traditionella i form av en figur eller ett ord, antingen separat eller i kombination, till varumärkesportföljer som även inkluderar icke-visuella varumärken, vilka benämns inom varumärkesrätten som okonventionella varumärken. Till okonventionella varumärken hör bland annat ljudmärken, doftmärken, färgmärken, formmärken och även hologram.

Trademarks within audio, scent, color, form and even holograms are incorporated under unconventional trademarks. How this development has progr
