Diverse radiations of insects are often associated with adaptations to host plants, and well-resolved phylogenetic relationships are required to fully understand them. Palearctic Argynnis and related subgenera, together with North American Speyeria butterflies make up a radiation whose species hypotheses are confounded by shared wing colour patterns between sympatric populations of closely related
In an effort to find conditions favouring bioelectrocatalytic reduction of oxygen by surface-immobilised human ceruloplasmin (Cp), direct electron transfer (DET) reactions between Cp and an extended range of surfaces were considered. Exploiting advances in surface nanotechnology, bare and carbon-nanotube-modified spectrographic graphite electrodes as well as bare, thiol- and gold-nanoparticle-modi
The German Federal Fiscal Court has in its decision from the 11th of December 2013 announced doubts of the constitutionality of a German national provision, including a treaty override, with the Constitution. This paper is aimed at shedding some light on the reasons for this decision, to give an outlook on the still pending decision of the highest German constituional court and to name influences
Denna uppsats “Samnytt och myten om det vita Sverige: En diskursanalys av alternativhögerns media” är skriven av William Van de Peppel Möller och Fabian Ekström, studenter vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier vid Lunds universitet, inom ämnesområdet Medie och Kommunikationsvetenskap. Syftet med denna uppsats är att att undersöka hur utformar sig Samnytts diskurs och hur befinner denna si
There are some people that cannot bear with their own burden of debt. These are over-indebted individuals. Research show that the reasons for over-indebtedness are macroeconomic shocks, personal shocks such as sickness, divorce and unemployment, but also sociological factors that make individuals want to spend more than they should. Additionally, research show that being over-indebted is correlate
While index insurance has received increased attention as an instrument for adaptation to climate change, evidence supporting its effectiveness remains limited. This thesis explores the potential of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) based livestock index insurance in Northern Kenya to help small-scale farmers to manage climate change risks in the event of livestock-reducing drought. Th
Language-based assessment (LBA) from open questions (e.g., how are you feeling?) analysed with natural language processing has predicted corresponding rating scales scores towards the theoretical upper limits. However, rating scales do not hold objective truth regarding psychological constructs. Therefore, the present pre-registered study set out to further validate LBA in a natural setting. Using
Why in a barren and hot desert, clays can contain a significant fraction of water? Why does concrete crack? How can we demonstrate that complexation of a drug does not alter its conformation in a way that affects its functionality? In this paper we present results on various studies using Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering aimed at clarifying these questions. To allow for a better understanding of n
Sugarcane bagasse was subjected to steam pretreatment impregnated with hydrogen peroxide. Analyses were performed using 2(3) factorial designs and enzymatic hydrolysis was performed at two different solid concentrations and with washed and unwashed material to evaluate the importance of this step for obtaining high cellulose conversion. Similar cellulose conversion were obtained at different condi
Denna studie undersöker hur missbruk påverkar vilken sorts hjälp en person som utsätts för våld i nära relationer har tillgång till. Uppsatsens forskning fokuserar därför på sambandet mellan missbruk och partnervåld för att få en uppfattning om vilka behov våldsutsatta kvinnor med missbruk har för att bäst förstå hur dessa kan bemötas. En kvalitativ ansats användes för att kunna göra en tematisk a
Finite resources and increasing rate of consumption have made efficiency a key component in every energy consuming sector. The building industry, as a major contributor, has been the target of various initiatives and regulations aiming to lower its impact with varying degrees of success. Measurement of this impact has not always been easy, especially for buildings not yet built. Therefore, simulat
I vår tids globaliserade värld med tilltagande turism, utlandsarbete och studier på utländska lärosäten ökar även förekomsten av transnationella kärleksrelationer. Människor träffas, blir förälskade och vill leva tillsammans. Denna kvalitativa studie handlar om kvinnor och män som har migrerat till Sverige på grund av nyetablerad kärleksrelation med en person från Sverige eller annat nordiskt land
I denna uppsats har jag utrett vilka kriterier som uppställs för att fastställa inre väpnad konflikt i svensk rätt. Jag undersöker också hur kriterierna fastställs även i EU-rätten och i den internationella humanitära folkrätten gällande inre väpnad konflikt då båda dessa områden starkt påverkar den inhemska tillämpningen av begreppet. Genom att undersöka framförallt Diakité-domen har jag konstate
I fokus för denna undersökning står Bushadministrationens argumentation och retorik kring invasionen av Irak då den inleddes våren 2003. Utgångspunkten är teorier om, och en hypotes kring att det råder en kristen diskurs i den amerikanska politiken, som formar politikens uttryckssätt och framställning, bl.a. genom en tendens att dela upp världen i goda och onda, och att koppla respektive läger til
