Local adaptation is an important process contributing to population differentiation which can occur in continuous or isolated populations connected by various amounts of gene flow. The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) is one of the most common songbirds in Fennoscandia. It has a continuous breeding distribution where it is found in all forested habitats from sea level to the tree line and t
Since 1984, 577 knee arthroplasty operations were performed in Al Razi Orthopedic hospital in Kuwait. An increase in the number of these operations occurred during the last four years and in 2007 there were almost 100 knee arthroplasty operations performed. Six out of seven operated patients were female. The mean age at operation was 67 years for male and 62 years for female patients. The vast maj
Precise regulation of β-cell function is crucial for maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. Pax6 is an essential regulator of β-cell-specific factors like insulin and Glut2. Studies in the developing eye suggest that Pax6 interacts with Mitf to regulate pigment cell differentiation. Here, we show that Mitf, like Pax6, is expressed in all pancreatic endocrine cells during mouse postnatal developmen
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Replacing the energy-intensive evaporation of stillage by anaerobic digestion is one way of decreasing the energy demand of the lignocellulosic biomass to the ethanol process. The biogas can be upgraded and sold as transportation fuel, injected directly into the gas grid or be incinerated on-site for combined heat and power generation. A techno-economic evaluation of the spru
Krinoidéer, eller sjöliljor, är en klass echinodermer som kan spåras tillbaka till mitten av ordovicium. Dessa växtlika marina invertebrater är antingen bottensittande eller frisimmande och representeras idag av omkring 600 arter, men gruppen var mycket större historiskt med över 6000 kända fossila arter. Patologiska eller missbildade krinoidéer är relativt vanligt förekommande i det fossila arkivCrinoids, or sea lilies, are a clade of echinoderms that can be traced back to the Middle Ordovician. These flower-like, marine invertebrates with a sessile or free-living mode of life, are represented by around 600 species in today’s oceans, but the clade was much more abundant and diverse in the past, with some 6000 fossil species known. Malformed and pathologic crinoids are relatively common in
Den 1 juli i år införs det nya brottet involverande av en underårig i brottslighet i 16 kap. 5 a § brottsbalken. I propositionen Skärpta straff för brott i kriminella nätverk beskrivs den nya kriminaliseringens syfte vara att skydda samhället från att unga personer dras in i kriminella nätverk. För att en straffbestämmelse ska anses rättfärdigad finns det flera kriminaliseringsprinciper som den
Den senaste tiden har allt större fokus lagts på den organiserade brottligheten. I politiken ses tendenser till att vilja ta hårdare tag för att komma åt denna problematik. Ett förslag för att åstadkomma detta är att införa straffbarhet för deltagande i kriminella gäng. Förslaget tas upp i den nytillträdde regeringens ”Tidöavtal” och på samma partiers hemsidor. En kriminalisering av deltagande i kRecently, an increasing focus has laid on organized crime. In politics, there are indications of a desire to take tougher measures to address this issue. One proposal to accomplish this is to introduce criminal liability for participation in criminal gangs. The proposal is mentioned in the newly appointed government's "Tidöavtal" and on the same parties' websites. Criminalizing p
Funktionsimmunitet innebär att en person som begått en brottslig gärning i en annan stat, men på uppdrag av hemstaten, blir immun mot straffrättsligt an-svar. Ett kontemporärt problem på området är dock att kretsen individer som kan erhålla funktionsimmunitet är oklar. I detta examensarbete studeras frågan i vilken utsträckning indi-vider kan undgå straffansvar för gärningar begångna å statens väFunctional immunity shields individuals from criminal responsibility when they commit a criminal act in a foreign state, on behalf of their home state. However, a prevailing issue in this domain is the ambiguity surrounding the scope of individuals that are eligible for functional immunity. This thesis examines the extent to which individuals can evade criminal responsibility for acts perpetrated
The illegal downloading of copyrighted material digitally has existed ever since the internet's inception. At first this was ignored because it was a small enough problem but as the internet grew the amount of illegal file sharing grew with it. The practice of downloading illegal academic material is especially interesting to look at because there is a moral gray area where large publishers ea

Recently, the notion of omnichannel retailing and marketing attracted widespread interest in academia, complemented by miscellaneous efforts of retailers to establish omnichannel brand communication. Following these attempts, global retailers face the risks related to brand communication failure and misrepresentation of brand values. However, the research is still limited in terms of differences i
Mitt första intresse för ämnet diskriminering av övervikt och fetma väcktes när jag i ett re-staurangkök hörde en arbetsgivare neka en person intervju endast på grund av hennes vikt. Jag ansåg personligen att detta var ett felaktigt handlande och syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det är tillåtet att missgynna en person endast på grund av dennes vikt. Genom klassisk rättsvetenskaplig metMy first interest in the subject of discrimination against individuals who are overweight and obese was raised when an employer at my work in a restaurant denied a person interview ex-clusively due to her weight. I personally considered this to be wrong. The purpose of this es-say is to investigate whether it is allowed to disadvantage a person entirely based on the per-son’s weight. I will use a
