Under åren 2014-2018 röjdes över 200 fågelskär inom Natura2000-områden i Vänern. Röjningarna genomfördes inom projektet LIFE Vänern. Syftet med röjningarna var att förhindra igenväxning av skär som är attraktiva häckningsplatser för fåglar i Vänern. Denna rapport utvärderar korttidsutvecklingen av antalet häckande fåglar på de röjda skären i jämförelse med skär som ej röjdes inom LIFE-projektet oc

Trots att ytan av formellt skyddade områden ökar så minskar den biologiska mångfalden i Sverige. För att naturvården i Sverige ska bli effektivare krävs det ökad kunskap om varför områdesskyddet inte räcker till för att bevara den biologiska mångfalden. En effektiv naturvård kräver kunskap om vilken effekt områdesskydd har på den biologiska mångfalden. Eftersom biologisk mångfald påverkas av ekolo

PurposeNo consensus exists whether to administer prophylactic antibiotics in conjunction with manual placenta removal. This study aimed to investigate the postpartum risk of a new prescription of antibiotic treatment, a possible indirect variable for infection, after manual placenta removal.MethodsObstetric data were merged with data from the Anti-Infection Tool (Swedish antibiotic registry). All

Background: The fluid absorption that occurs during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can be indicated and quantified by the ethanol method. Recently, nitrous oxide (N(2)O) was tested in animals and volunteers and seemed to be more accurate and safe. The present study compared these two methods in surgical patients.Methods: Eighty-six TURPs were performed at two hospitals using an irr

Spending the winter in northern climes with short days and cold ambient temperatures (Ta) can be energetically challenging for small birds that have high metabolic and heat loss rates. Hence, maintaining body temperature (Tb) in Ta below thermoneutrality can be energetically costly for a small bird. We still know little about how increased heat production below thermoneutrality affects the level a

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between oxidative stress, antioxidant defense, mitochondrial structure, and biomechanical tissue support in the isolated porcine retina.Methods: Full-thickness retinal sheets were isolated from adult porcine eyes. Retinas were cultured for 2 or 48 h using (1) a previously established low-support explant protocol with photoreceptors

Allt som vi ser och arbetar med i vårt vardagliga liv består av atomer. De är mycket små, omkring 10-10 meter. De syns inte med blotta ögat, utan kräver avancerade elektronmikroskop. Men atomerna själva består av ännu mindrebeståndsdelar, ett elektronmoln som kretsar kring en kärna.Atomkärnan består av neutroner och protoner och är bara cirka 10-15 meter stor. Neutroner och protoner hålls samman This thesis focusses on the results of two experiments employing Penning traps to prepare pure beams of the 213Ra ground state and 127Cd, which were then studied with the decay-spectroscopy setup TASISpec. The experiments were conducted with SHIPTRAP at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, and JYFLTRAP at the IGISOL Accelerator Facility at the University of Jyvä

In species with chromosomal sex determination, X chromosomes are predicted to evolve faster than autosomes becauseof positive selection on recessive alleles or weak purifying selection. We investigated X chromosome evolution inStegodyphus spiders that differ in mating system, sex ratio, and population dynamics. We assigned scaffolds to Xchromosomes and autosomes using a novel method based on flow In species with chromosomal sex determination, X chromosomes are predicted to evolve faster than autosomes because of positive selection on recessive alleles or weak purifying selection.

Background: Child mortality differed greatly within rural regions in Europe before and during the mortality transition. Little is known about the role of nutrition in such geographic differences, and about the factors affecting the nutritional status and hence the disease outcomes.Objective: Focusing on nutrition, we analyse the effects of soil type, used as an indicator of the farm-level agricultBackground: Child mortality differed greatly within rural regions in Europe before and during the mortality transition.

Body temperature variation in response to acute stress is typically characterized by peripheral vasoconstriction and a concomitant increase in core body temperature (stress-induced hyperthermia). It is poorly understood how this response differs between species and within individuals of the same species, and how it is affected by the environment. We therefore investigated stress-induced body tempeBody temperature variation in response to acute stress is typically characterized by peripheral vasoconstriction and a concomitant increase in core body temperature (stress-induced hyperthermia).

I denna studie har elva svenska idrottare som dopat sig intervjuats – tio styrkelyftare och en tyngdlyftare. Idrottarna har varit verksamma på tävlings- till elitnivå, och har fällts för minst en dopingförseelse 1990 till och med 2006. Syftet med studien har varit att identifiera och analysera sociala processer som ligger bakom bruket. Anabola Androgena Steroider (AAS) var det preparat som samtlig

Våldtäktsbrottet har, inom svensk rätt, genomgått omfattande förändringar de senaste decennierna. Begreppet har breddats och kommit att innefatta allt fler sexuella handlingar. Utvecklingen har följts av omfattande diskussioner samt medialt omdebatterade domar. Den så kallade samtyckesregleringen, där rekvisiten våld och hot avskaffas till förmån för ett bristande samtycke, har haft en central posUnder Swedish Penal Law the rape offense has undergone extensive changes in the recent decades. The concept of rape has been broadened and extended to cover more sexual acts then before. The trend has been followed by extensive discussions and media controversial judgments. The so-called consent regulation, where the elements of violence and threats would be replaced in favor of the victim’s lack

I januari 1998 lades en del av länsväg 155 om till den nyöppnade Lundbytunneln i Göteborg. Tidigare leddes den motordrivna trafiken på denna länsväg längs bl.a. Västra Bräckevägen, Östra Bräckevägen och Stålhandskegatan. När trafiken lades om och ner i Lundbytunneln torde det bl.a. ha varit så att bullernivåerna vid nämnda vägar minskade. Det är därför troligt att marknadsvärdet steg på de närliggIn January 1998, the Lundby tunnel opened in Gothenburg. Prior to that, the motor driven traffic was routed on county road 155 (länsväg 155) along e.g. Västra Bräckevägen, Östra Bräckevägen and Stålhandskegatan. When the traffic was rerouted to go down the Lundby tunnel instead, the previous noise pollution levels caused by the traffic frictions were consequently reduced on said roads. It is a pos

This research explores how young audiences in Georgia perceive and engage with Russian Soft Power in the context of the media platform Alt-info. Alt-info is a privately-owned right-wing TV company and online media outlet founded in 2019 in Georgia. The study delves into the complex relationship between Russian Soft Power, the media landscape, and the perspectives of Georgia's youth. Using a c

Nyckeln bakom en lyckad (torrpulver-) formulering För att möjliggöra en lyckad administrering av inhalationsläkemedel är det många faktorer som spelar in. Däribland hur tillverkningen av formuleringen går till. Till skillnad från vad många kanske tror, har inhalation länge använts som ett sätt att administrera läkemedel till lungan. Så länge, att de äldsta fynden daterar tillbaka ända till gamlaFor efficient treatment of many diseases of the lung, it is beneficial to deliver the medicine to the respiratory tract directly. This ensures a rapid response since it can enter the bloodstream directly through the alveolar epithelium. Consequently, also decreases systemic effects due to the local treatment. Dry powder inhaler (DPI) is today one of the most used inhalers for pulmonary delivery.
