A transition from conventional to organic agricultural practices has been shown to have positive impacts on soil and ground-living fauna. Organic farming manure is on the other hand harder for the crops to absorb than conventional fertilizers, which results in more pollutants and unsatisfactory yields. This problem is mitigated in alley cropping, an agroforestry practice where rows of trees and bu

Background: With an increased life expectancy for the general population as well as for those ageing with chronic diseases, there are major challenges to the affected individuals and their families, but also to health care and societal planning. Most important, an increasing proportion of older people remain living in their ordinary homes despite health decline and disability. However, little is k

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor deficits such as slowness in movement, difficulty in initiating movement and tremor at rest. The cause of these motor symptoms is the selective loss of mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons, located in the substantia nigra (SN). These neurons project axons to the striatum where they release dopamine, a neurotransm

Background: Asthma genetics has been extensively studied and many genes have been associated with the development or severity of this disease. In contrast, the genetic basis of allergic rhinitis (AR) has not been evaluated as extensively. It is well known that asthma is closely related with AR since a large proportion of individuals with asthma also present symptoms of AR, and patients with AR hav

Cancer is today a major healthcare problem worldwide. There are many forms of cancer, which is a genetic disease, believed to result from a multistep process with genetic and epigenetic changes accumulating over time. Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in women, while it is much more rare in men. Male breast cancer (MBC) exhibits both similarities and differences with female b

Early reperfusion in the setting of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is of utmost importance. However, the effects of early versus late reperfusion in this patient group undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have so far been inconsistent in previous studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in a nationwide cohort the effects of delay from first medical c

In human medicine, the most important family of bacteria is Enterobacteriaceae, which includes genera and species that cause well-defined diseases and also nosocomial infections. These bacteria can give rise to numerous infections such as septicaemia and urinary tract infections. It is important to combat these infections with effective antibiotics, because many of them are associated with high mo

Inspired by the works of Michel Foucault and Erling Sandmo, this article explores contemporary discourses of military violence against civilians from a genealogical perspective. The purpose is to shed light on the historicity of certain structures of knowledge, thoughts, politics and ethics that are fundamental for the ways in which military violence against civilians is put into words, interprete

I entreprenadprojekt finns det en risk för att entreprenören av någon anledning avbryter eller befaras avbryta arbetet. En eventuell domstolsprocess avseende fullgörelse av entreprenadavtalet riskerar dock att bli tidsödande och hindra projektets framdrift. Det ligger därför i beställarens intresse att entreprenören, genom förordnande om civilprocessuell säkerhetsåtgärd enligt 15 kap. 3 § RB, kan There is a risk that a contractor discontinues or plans to discontinue the work during construction. Potential court proceedings regarding the performance of the construction contract could be time-consuming and delay the whole project. Therefore, it is in the customer’s interest that the contractor, by a security measure (preliminary injunction), can be required to continue the contract work or p

Avtalsfriheten är en grundläggande princip i svensk rätt som erbjuder avtalsparterna en rätt att välja hur ett avtal ska slutas. Tvingande lagregler kan dock sätta upp vissa förutsättningar för hur ett giltigt avtal ska se ut. Ett tillvägagångssätt är att i lag uppställa olika typer av formkrav. En typ av formkrav är det skriftliga formkravet som uppställs för bland annat prorogationsavtal. Det in

Bird flight behaviors have been an interesting topic for many years, among which researchers have focused mostly on detailed aerodynamics of flight and more general aspects such as migration strategies. The recent development of accelerometers which could be easily attached to animals has speeded up the investigation of animal movements. Different behaviors could be categorized, and energy consump

På Sveriges bostadsrättsmarknad är det idag förväntat att slutpriset överstiger utropspriset. Slutpriset kan många gånger kraftigt överstiga utropspriset vilket har resulterat i en debatt kring om lockpriser är orsaken till den stora prisskillnaden. Detta examensarbete syftar därmed till att undersöka möjliga orsaker bakom de stora prisskillnaderna som observeras på den svenska bostadsrättsmarknad

Fildelningsteknologin revolutionerade internet i början av 1990-talet. I rask takt har fildelningsnätverken utvecklats och utbudet av olovligen tillgängliggjorda filer är större än någonsin. För vanliga internetanvändare innebär nyss nämnda gratis tillgång till film och musik vid efterfrågan. Det kan emellertid medföra stora ekonomiska förluster för rättighetshavarna till verken. Digitaliseringen File sharing technology revolutionized the Internet in the early 1990s. Different networks evolve at a rapid pace and the supply of illegally spread files are greater than ever. For common Internet users this means free, on-demand access to movies and music. However, it may cause major financial losses to the right-holders of copyrighted works, since the digitalization often times means losing con
