Examining the role of color in mate choice without testing what colors the study animal is capable of seeing can lead to ill-posed hypotheses and erroneous conclusions. Here, we test the seemingly reasonable assumption that the sexually dimorphic red coloration of the male jumping spider Saitis barbipes is distinguishable, by females, from adjacent black color patches. Using microspectrophotometry

Natural products have until recently provided the only remedy for treatment of diseases. The development of modern chemistry in the last centuries has opened the door for tapping into the chemical diversity found in nature. Synthetic natural products, together with analogues, are an important piece in the puzzle towards curing many ailments. In this thesis, synthetic endeavors towards different bi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jesaja 40-55 representerar en av Gamla testamentets höjdpunkter. Här ackumuleras bilderna av Gud som Israels konung, herde, fader, moder, skapare och försörjare. Det är en befriande, nyskapande och mäktig Gud som tilltalar ett modlöst, förtvivlat och krossat Israel. Dessa kapitel domineras av budskapet om tröst och räddning till den grad att bibelforskningen sammanfattaThe theology of Isaiah 40-55 has two seemingly contradictory aspects: the tension between the consolatory message of deliverance, and the harsh tone of accusation. In this part of the Book of Isaiah, YHWH's return to his people is demonstrated through the accumulation of declarations about YHWH's ability and his will to deliver the Israelites from the exile. At the same time, the Israelites are ex

There are a handful of ways that a non-Swedish citizen may gain citizenship. Those that use the judicial instrument of “application” to apply for said citizenship trough the process of naturalization are subjected to several various requirements. What this essay is trying to do is to some extent explain those requirements, as well as the rules regarding the Swedish citizenships in general. One o

Den här fallstudien undersöker hur Rädda Barnen arbetar opinionsbildande i sin kampanj för att få hem de svenska barnen med föräldrar som har IS-kopplingar från Syrien. Studien har gjorts i syfte att få förståelse för hur Rädda Barnen använder sig av medier för att bedriva sitt kampanjarbete och sätta sig själva och de frågor de bedriver på agendan. Vi har genomfört en studie där vi analyserat fle

Den svenska jurisdiktionen begränsas av ett krav på dubbel straffbarhet. Detta generella krav infördes år 1972 och hade samband med 1970 års Europeiska brottmålskonvention. I brottsbalken(BrB) 2 kap 2 § 2 stycket står det explicit att en gärnings som begåtts utomlands inte kan dömas enligt svensk rätt om gärningen är fri från ansvar enligt lagen på gärningsorten eller om den begåtts inom ett områdThe Swedish jurisdiction is limited by a requirement of double criminality. This general requirement was introduced in 1972 and was associated with the 1970 European Criminal Convention. The Swedish Criminal Code, chapter 2 2§ second paragraph, it states explicitly that a criminal action committed abroad can not be convicted under Swedish law if the act is free from liability under the law on the

This is a study of the formation of the ‘Book’ of Psalms that attempts to provide answers to two fundamental questions: “how?” and “why?”. The first relates to the diachronic growth of the collection (how are these processes to be reconstructed, and on what grounds?), while the second relates to questions of purpose (to what end are psalms being juxtaposed in a collection?). Proceeding from a revi

Large-scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert can meet the world's energy demand while increasing regional rainfall and vegetation cover. However, adverse remote effects resulting from atmospheric teleconnections could offset such regional benefits. We use state-of-the-art Earth-system model simulations to evaluate the global impacts of Sahara solar farms. Our results indi

Konflikten i Syrien har resulterat i en av de största flyktingkatastroferna på senare tid. I brist på lagliga flyktvägar till Europa, tvingas flyktingar anlita människosmugglare för att fly krig i sitt hemland. De tvingas ofta betala stora summor pengar för den riskfyllda resan över Medelhavet och vidare genom Europa. Resan är ofta lång och långt ifrån alla lyckas nå sitt mål. I samband med de stoThe current conflict in Syria has resulted in a major refugee disaster. The lack of legal refugee routes to Europe is forcing refugees to hire smugglers to escape war in their homeland. They are often forced to pay large sums of money for the hazardous journey across the Mediterranean Sea and further through Europe. These journeys are often far stretched and not many are successful. Due to the war

Fråga: Hur kan ni veta att mitt barn har förhöjd risk för diabetes?  Svar: När ditt barn föddes togs det ett blodprov från barnets navelsträng. I det blodprovet kan man ta reda på ärftligheten för autoimmun (typ 1) diabetes. Man vet sedan tidigare vilken ärftlighet personer med autoimmun diabetes har och därför vet man vilka som har den förhöjda ärftligheten. Ert barn har alltså bara ärftlig risk.

Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis. One of the most potent pro-inflammatory cytokines is tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), a cytokine identified to have a pathogenic role in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The major objectives of this investigation was to establish a role for TNF-a in the development of atherosclerosis and neointimal formati

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste maligna sjukdomen hos kvinnor i världen. Årligen insjuknar mer än 7300 kvinnor i Sverige, vilket innebär nästan 30 % av all kvinnlig cancer. Mer än 80 000 kvinnor i Sverige är friska efter att ha blivit behandlade för bröstcancer, och cirka 3000 kvinnor lever med återfall av sjukdomen. Prognosen har förbättrats de senaste decennierna, delviRadiotherapy (RT) after mastectomy has been part of the treatment for early breast cancer since the 1940s. The treatment reduces the risk of loco-regional recurrences, but implies risk of late side effects that can begin decades after RT. Aims of the thesis were: - To analyse the long term effects of postmastectomy radiotherapy and systemic treatment for 1100 stage II breast cancer patients in t

The Ordovician Lockne impact structure is located in central Sweden. The target lithology consisted of limestone and black unconsolidated shale overlaying a Precambrian crystalline basement. The Precambrian basement is uranium-rich, and the black shale is both uranium- and organic-rich. This circumstance makes Lockne a good candidate for testing the occurrence of U-Th-rich bitumen nodules in an im

This project is focusing on how the exchange of greenhouse gases between the biosphere and the atmosphere is affected by different kinds of disturbance, both natural disturbances such as storms and by different forest management practices. Disturbance effects in Boreal ForestsDisturbance usually leads to increased availability of organic material and increased decomposition of soil organic matter,
