Widespread contamination of ecosystems with pesticides threatens non-target organisms. However, the extent to which life-history traits affect pesticide exposure and resulting risk in different landscape contexts remains poorly understood. We address this for bees across an agricultural land-use gradient based on pesticide assays of pollen and nectar collected by Apis mellifera, Bombus terrestris
BACKGROUND: Senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-GAL) histochemistry is the most commonly used biomarker of cellular senescence. These SA-β-GAL-positive cells are senescent embryonic cells that are usually removed by apoptosis from the embryo, followed by macrophage-mediated clearance.RESULTS: Some authors have proposed that SA-β-GAL activity in differentiated neurons from young and adult m
Background: The introduction of next-generation sequencing into the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders has resulted in an increased number of newly identified RYR1 variants. The hypothesis was that there is an increased referral of patients to malignant hyperthermia units without a personal/family history of adverse anesthetic events suspected to be malignant hyperthermia. This retrospective mul
Marine reptiles constitute a diverse group of secondarily aquatic tetrapods that have inhabited the world’s oceans for the greater part of the last 250 million years. While certain large-scale anatomical changes have been observed through progressive alterations of their skeletal morphology (e.g., the evolution of fin-like limbs), little is known about those changes that have occurred in the integ
Background: The continuous global rise of end-stage kidney disease creates a growing demand of economically beneficial home-based kidney replacement therapies such as peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, undesirable absorption and exposure of peritoneal tissues to glucose remain major limitations of PD. Methods: We compared a reference (standard) automated PD regimen 6 × 2 L 1.36% glucose (76 mmol/L
In this bachelor thesis, we appply the Hardy-Littlewood circle method to Waring's problem using Vinogradov's exponential sums approach. On the last section, we focus on the consequeces of the recently proved Vinogradov's mean value theorem.
The date is October 8th, 2022 in Herzogenaurach, Germany. You are a board member of Adidas, a world renowned sportswear brand - a brand which has seen an immense growth over the past decade, growth which has also translated into a record valuation for the company in the stock market. But today is not a day which calls for celebration. One of your key collaborators, a person which you could attribu
This study aims to explore the complexities of ethical consumption and identify the factors shaping consumers’ sustainability decisions through online discussions. It seeks to understand how consumers articulate concerns, analyzing topics like the ethical consumption gap, governmentality, responsibilization etc. The research aims to drive positive change in both individual behaviors and societal
In 2018, the Indian state of Kerala experienced devastating floods that killed 433 people and displaced 1.4 million. The floods are becoming more frequent since then due to climate change. In this research, we compared international frameworks on health and disaster with national and state documents. We used content analysis and applied Walt and Gilson's framework of health policy analysis to
I en tid när vi ser ett ökande intresse för arbetsflexibilitet, ett större behov av lokalt producerad mat och ett växande intresse för natur och friluftsliv. Samt i ljuset av det, för första gången på överskådlig tid en ökande inflyttning till landsbygden. Med dagens digitala teknologi ges numera större förutsättningar att kunna starta upp nya verksamheter på distans som skulle kunna fungera minst
Regime change is considered essential for sustainability transitions. An important source of regime change is pressure from alternative innovations developed in niches and the actors involved. Governments often play an important role in such niche-regime interactions and affect whether, and how, this results in regime change. However, an overview of the various roles governments can play with resp
We study a class of dynamical multi-commodity flows in transportation networks. These are modeled as dynamical systems describing the evolution of the densities of a number of different commodities across the cells of a transportation network. Each cell is characterized by commodity-specific increasing demand functions returning the maximum outflow of each commodity from the cell as a function of
Combinatorial optimization is a powerful way to solve complex problems, like planning, scheduling, or hardware verification, by expressing the problem in a mathematical form using discrete variables that can be solved by general solvers. Due to major advances in algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems, these solvers can tackle real-world challenges efficiently. However, as solve
Kan växtbaserad yoghurt med tillsatta probiotiska bakterier gynna tarmfloran? Tarmfloran har kopplats till både hälsa och sjukdom, och genom att äta probiotiska bakterier hoppas man kunna gynna de goda bakterierna i tarmen, som får oss att må bättre. I den här undersökningen har en växtbaserad och en mjölkbaserad yoghurt med tillsatta probiotiska bakterier ätits i 4 veckor och deras effekt på taIn recent years, the development of meat-and dairy analogues has increased to meet demands from consumers, as well as serving as environmentally beneficial alternatives to meat and dairy. While traditional plant-based diets based on whole-foods have been shown to lead to beneficial health effects, the new analogues differ vastly from the ingredients of a whole foods, plant-based diet and the effec
This thesis compares how Sweden and Finland’s contrasting exchange rate regimes shaped their export sector performance during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. While both are small, open Nordic economies, Sweden maintained a floating currency and independent monetary policy, whereas Finland adopted the euro and ceded monetary control to the European Central Bank. The study evaluates export revenue
This study explores a novel approach to utilizing waste biomass for syngas production, with the potential for carbon sequestration. An integrated biomass conversion process combining pyrolysis, CO2 reforming, and MILD combustion is proposed. In the proposed system, the bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis can be used in a reforming step, converting it into syngas with a suitable H2/CO ratio for chemica
This study explores how listeners use verb constructions to describe everyday sounds. It considers (i) how the verb constructions provide Gestalt to events in the form of activities, processes and states, and (ii) how the constructions correspond to different aspects of a soundscape (sound sources, acoustic properties, and listener reactions). We found that verb constructions primarily describe so
