The genes that enable using a new host plant Insects and their host plants constitute a large share of biodiversity. This suggests that their interactions promote adaptation, leading to diversification. The development of sequencing techniques has now enabled us to address what changes in the genome enable such adaptation. In this project, I investigated the genomic basis of fly Tephritis conura

För att svensk järnvägsinfrastruktur skall kunna vara konkurrenskraftig i jämförelse med mindre miljövänliga alternativ krävs kapacitetsutbyggnad och hastighetsökning av det svenska järnvägsnätet. Vid hastigheter över 200 km/h finns krav på att dynamiska analyser behöver utföras. För vissa brotyper, exempelvis samverkansbroar med ändskärmar, är det svårt att påvisa acceptabel vertikal accelerationFor Swedish railway infrastructure to be competitive compared to less environmentally friendly alternatives, capacity expansion and speed increase of the Swedish rail network are required. At speeds above 200 km/h, dynamic analyses are required by code. For some bridge types, such as composite bridges with end screens, there are difficulties in meeting the requirements for vertical acceleration in

Today, many cities around the world are looking for means to reduce their consumption-originated emissions and in this way improve their sustainability. Consequently, local governments are becoming increasingly interested in the potential of the ‘sharing economy’ (SE). By enabling the consumption of resources and services through sharing as opposed to purchasing goods for ownership, urban sharing
Det saknas, så vitt vi vet, information om hur barn upplever svåra situationer i vardagen, och framförallt hur de upplever känslor som skam och skuld när de har en förälder med långvarig smärta. Dessutom finns det i Sverige inte någon insats inriktad på barnen under dessa förhållanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva barnens upplevelse av skam och skuld av att leva med en långvarigt smärtThere is a lack, as far as we know, of information about how children experience difficult situations in everyday life and most importantly how they experience emotions such as shame and guilt when they have a parent with chronic pain.
