Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Målet med studien är att se vilka samband som finns mellan insamlad fältdata och beräknad satellitdata för bokskogsbestånd i södra Sverige (Häckeberga naturreservat och naturområde). Fältdata som använts består av uppskattat bladyteindex, beräknad biomassa samt kategoriserade åldersgrupper av 19 provytor bokskog (Fagus Sylvatica), indelat i tre grupper. Provytor
The aim of my work was, from the point of view from my respondents and literature, to create a picture of why so many highly educated people born abroad don't have an employment that coincides with their education. The question at issue was: How come highly educated people born abroad don't have an employment that coincides with their education from the native country? In my work, I carr
Abstract The increased focus on social capital theory has made its way into labour economics. This has led to the creation of a vast literature about the use of networks and informal search methods in the labour-market, a literature that to some extent also deals with immigrants search behaviour and their relatively high unemployment rate. Characteristic for the literature in the area is the lack
Abstract Today it is very common that some person register a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a hallmark that is someone’s protected property. From the owners opinion this can result in a lost of company’s goodwill and there is risk that hallmark becomes powerless. Every physical and legal person can register someone’s protected hallmark as a domain name under top – level do
Sammanfattning Denna studie utreder om ett långsiktigt samband mellan oljepriset och valda aktieindex kan påvisas. Tre typer av aktieindex har valts, generalindex, industriindex och råvaruindex, för Sverige respektive Norge. För att undersöka det långsiktiga sambandet mellan oljepriset och aktieindex används kointegrations- och regressionsanalys. Studien visar att det bara förekommer ett långsikti
This thesis examines why working time preferences differ between workers and nations, and explains the effect of working time regulation and working time flexibility on negotiating work-life balance. In five separate sections the following working time issues are examined: the number of hours worked by workers in Europe; factors affecting individual working time preferences; how working time prefe
Biological invasions often cause major perturbations in the environment and are well studied among macroorganisms. Less is known about invasion by free-living microbes. Gonyostomum semen (Raphidophyceae) is a freshwater phytoplankton species that has increased in abundance in Northern Europe since the 1980's and has expanded its habitat range. In this study, we aimed to determine the genetic popul
LKB1 is a master kinase that regulates metabolism and growth through adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and 12 other closely related kinases. Liver-specific ablation of LKB1 causes increased glucose production in hepatocytes in vitro and hyperglycaemia in fasting mice in vivo. Here we report that the salt-inducible kinases (SIK1, 2 and 3), members of the AMPK-related kinase fa
