Insect antennal flagella host a multitude of sensory organs fulfilling different functions. Chemoreception, for example, is essential for insects in many contexts. Both olfaction and contact chemoreception are involved in host-plant selection, as well as in the integrity of insect societies, especially for nestmate recognition. Kladothrips intermedius is a eusocial gall-inducing thrips with two ca
In this article we look at examples of three predominant kinds of Swedish retail places – the pedestrianised city centre, the neighbourhood centre and the regional shopping mall – all of which play important (winning or losing) roles in contemporary retail development. This investigation is based on an empirical study of the Malmö region (in southern Sweden) and the findings suggest that the diffe
The mean size of fluorescent nanoparticles produced in a propane flame has been measured with an in-situ technique employing a femtosecond laser to excite the sample and a streak camera for time-resolved detection of the fluorescence. The time profile of the fluorescence anisotropy showed a Gaussian behaviour, typical of free rotor reorientation. By measuring its width, we estimated an average car
This thesis investigates the unique queer male engagement with the podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno and its source material, the erotic novella Belinda Blinked. While gay or bisexual males are never present in the fictional story in the book series, queer male fans are amongst the most outspoken in online communities dedicated to the show. The matter of representation of queer males in media is a curr
Anxiety disorders are some of the most prevalent disorders in modern times and often seriously impact the daily lives of sufferers. Although there is an abundance of research investigating potential links between anxiety and threat response, there is a lack of study into the nuanced relationships between different anxiety types and threat types. In addition, there are considerable limitations to m
Under 2015 sökte rekordmånga asyl i Sverige. För att minska antalet asylsökande till Sverige valde regeringen att införa den tillfälliga utlänningslagen. Majoriteten av remissinstanserna var kritiska till lagförslaget, men regeringen valde ändå att införa den tillfälliga lagen med motiveringen att det var nödvändigt att skapa andrum i svenskt asylmottagande. Den tillfälliga utlänningslagen innehålSweden received a record number of asylum seekers in 2015. To reduce the number of asylum seekers, the Swedish Parliament adopted a new law. The new law entered into force on 20th July 2016 and will be valid for three years. The law was adopted even though a majority of the consultative bodies were critical to the new law. There are three big changes with the new law. The first change is that refu
Using conceptual dimensions identified by the literature on political leadership, this article compares its transformations at the local level in Europe. Often associated with the alleged shift to governance, the strengthening of the executive comes forward as the underlying tendency in contemporary local leadership. Empowered individualised leadership emerges, in terms of coming to and taking off
This paper investigates how Iraqi people living in Sweden are portrayed by Swedish media. The studies have been done through reading and examine thirtyone articles from four different newspapers. The theoretical frameworks that have been used are stereotyping and the discourse of "the other". From this perspective articles have been selected in order to find examples of if Iraqis are des
Electronic waste (e-waste) in modern society is a growing issue that creates risks by degrading natural resources, through the production of the electronic devices in question, but also at a later end-of-life stage when recycled irresponsibly; by harming individuals directly – those who partake in the recycling, but also indirectly when deadly toxins from recycling flow into water and soil sources
Materialegenskaper som hållfasthet och duktilitet har historiskt förbättrats genom att materialet modifieras homogent, men även kompositer har vuxit fram som ett vanligt verktyg inom industrin som sätt att förbättra materialegenskaper. En alternativ metod som bygger på att materialets mikrostruktur modifieras heterogent, är harmoniskt strukturerade material. Det består av två olika moder av materMaterials are constantly sought to be improved in different manners. Two of the most common characteristics to improve are strength, and ductility. Historically, materials are modified homogeneously to achieve improvement, while the past century has also seen composite materials becoming standard-issue within various industries. Just recently the concept of heterogeneously modifying material micr
På sociala medier tar människor sig friheter när det gäller användningen av bilder på barn, och det framförallt inom humanitära organisationer och företag. Bilden på barnet, används som ett politiskt verktyg för förändring och som en empatiförhöjare för att få målgrupper att agera. Fenomenet är något som numera även syns bland kändisars och influerares sociala plattformar, vilket skapar en stor sp

One of the hallmark findings from behavioral economics is that choices are sensitive to the context they are presented in. However, the strength of such 'framing effects' varies between studies, and some studies fail to find any effect at all. A long line of research has argued that the presence and size of framing effects depend to a large extent on whether people use higher or lower-level mental
Various modal methods are frequently used to investigate the vibration pattern in construction elements of a building in the low frequency range. The experimental determination of time average transmission and reflection coefficient has been developed for the large scale building structures. In this study, we investigate a mock up of a wall/floor junction. The wave approach is combined with the co
The specific shear viscosity, η/ s, of the quark-gluon plasma formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC is estimated based on the progressive longitudinal broadening of transverse momentum two-particle correlators, G2, reported as a function of collision centrality by the STAR and ALICE experiments. Estimates are computed as a function of collision centrality using the Gavin
Two new furanocembranoid diterpenes, crematofuran [(1R∗,11R∗,12R∗)-6,19:11,12-bisepoxycembra-3,6,8(19),15-tetraene] (1) and isocrematofuran [(1R∗,3S∗,4S∗)-3,4:6,19-bisepoxycembra-6,8(19),11,15-tetraene] (2), have been isolated from the Dufour gland secretion of the Brazilian ant Crematogaster brevispinosa rochai. Their structures, including the relative configuration, have been determined by a com
This paper investigates the regulation of publicly organized early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Denmark and Sweden, through the regulatory welfare state (RWS) framework. The analysis focuses on how alterations in funding and quality of care are shaped by governmental and nongovernmental actors at national and local levels of government.

A Scania 13 1 engine modified for single cylinder operations was run using nine fuels in the boiling point range of gasoline, but very different octane number, together with PRF20 and MK1-diesel. The eleven fuels were tested in a load sweep between 5 and 26 bar gross IMEP at 1250 rpm and also at idle (2.5 bar IMEP, 600 rpm). The boost level was proportional to the load while the inlet temperature
This thesis collects contributions to wireline and wireless communication systems with an emphasis on multiuser and multicarrier physical layer technology. To deliver increased capacity, modern wireline access systems such as G.fast extend the signal bandwidth up from tens to hundreds of MHz. This ambitious development revealed a number of unforeseen hurdles such as the impact of impedance changes
