Abstract: Avian long-distance migration as an adaptation to spatiotemporally changing resources is a complex evolutionary trait shaped by various endo- and exogenous factors. Descriptive studies of migratory journeys provide direct investigations of migratory parameters and these often set the basis for fun-damental follow-up studies on the eco-evolutionary principles. In this study, male Great

I dagens bolagsstyrelser råder mansdominans och i denna uppsats utreder jag om man bör sträva efter mer jämställda bolagsstyrelser.

Yttrandefriheten och upphovsrätten är två grundlagsreglerade rättigheter i svensk rätt. Två rättigheter med syftet att skapa förutsättningar för ett fritt samhällsskick och en intellektuell utveckling. Trots rättigheternas tydliga motiv är det inte sällan som yttrandefriheten och upphovsrätten ställs inför en intressekonflikt. En konflikt som främst ska avgöras med stöd av lag men som under särski

Steriliseringslagstiftningens framväxt tog sin utgångspunkt i ”degenerationen” och oron för att industrialiseringen hade skapat en biologisk försämring av befolkningen. Det var vid denna tidpunkt som tankarna om rashygienen väcktes. Genom biologisk förädling skulle befolkningskvalitén höjas. Det fanns en förhoppning att genom positiv och negativ eugenik öka fortplantningen hos den ”goda” befolkninThe emergence of the sterilization law were based on "degeneration" and fear that the industrialization had created a biological degradation of the population. It was at this point that the ideas of the eugenics evoked. By biological processing the quality of the population should increase. There was a hope that through positive and negative eugenics increase the breeding of the "go

The literature presents a considerable number of practical experiences of urban consolidation centres (UCCs) and some estimates for vehicle reduction. Still, there is limited knowledge about the potential reduction of the environmental impact and the related externality costs. This paper evaluates the environmental impacts of consolidation in four scenarios of different consolidation set-ups. It a

Complex diseases represent a number of common disorders such as allergic conditions, cardiovascular, metabolic and chronic inflammatory diseases. These diseases are caused by a combination of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. This complex etiology creates challenges when it comes to diagnostics, follow-up programs and treatment. Although exact disease mechanisms are yet to be elucidate

North Sámi has a class of derived verbs called sensive verbs. Descriptively, these verbs are formed by adding the suffix /ʃ/ to an adjectival or nominal base, and the resulting verb means ‘find [object] (too) ADJECTIVE/NOUN’. In this paper it is argued that the sensive verbs do not involve any psychological verb, and the suffix is not specified as “sensive” in the lexicon.

This article examines the two key terms mainly used to describe the ousting of President Mohamed Morsy, ‘coup’ and ‘revolution’, and how these terms can be understood as arguments for two different interpretations of the event.

Bacterial endotoxin is a potent inflammatory antigen abundant in the human intestine. Endotoxins circulate in the blood at low concentrations in all healthy individuals. Elevated levels of circulatory endotoxins may cause inflammation with the development of chronic disease, either affecting metabolism, neurological disease, or resistance to viral and bacterial infections. The most important endot
