Hybridization among naturally separate taxa is increasing owing to human impact, and can result in taxon loss. Previous classification of anthropogenic hybridization has largely ignored the case of bimodal hybrid zones, in which hybrids commonly mate with parental species, resulting in many backcrossed individuals with a small proportion of introgressed genome. Genetic markers can be used to detec

Throughout time, communities have adapted to changes in their environment and, in doing so, have addressed risksthat threaten the things they value. The need to adapt is considered more urgent now than ever, notably given thecurrent focus on climate risk. Typically, adaptation is presented as a solution to reduce such risks. This is particularlythe case for Landlocked Developing Countries and Smal

The design of the 3 GeV linac for the MAX IV facility was done to provide the ability to host a future FEL in the hard X-ray as well as in the soft X-ray range. The linear accelerator, with its two bunch compressors, is now under commissioning. Through the years increasing details for the actual FEL have been discussed and presented. In parallel a steering group for the science case for a Swedish

Ice-core records of the concentration of atmospheric CO2 and its stable isotope ratio (δ13C(a)) have shown that the global C cycle has not remained in steady-state over the past 11000 yr, implying a possible change in vegetation activity over this period. Here we evaluated the ecophysiological responses of the dwarf willow (Salix herbacea) over the past 9000 yr by measuring the stable carbon isoto

The extensive use of rubber products, mainly tires, and the difficulties to recycle those products, has resulted in world wide environmental problems. Microbial devulcanisation is a promising way to increase the recycling of rubber materials. One obstacle is that several microorganisms tested for devulcanisation are sensitive to rubber additives. A way to overcome this might be to detoxify the rub

Chronic pancreatitis is a relatively frequent condition usually caused by alcoholic abuse but also due to recurrent gallstone disease, metabolic endocrine disorders and haemochromatosis, among others. Specific types such as hereditary and autoimmune pancreatitis should be particularly kept in mind and emphasized, as they require specific treatment and attention. The possibility to identify gene mu

Moraxella catarrhalis is part of the normal bacterial flora in the nasopharynx of children, although over the past two decades, it has emerged as a significant bacterial pathogen and not simply a commensal colonizer. Moraxella catarrhalis is a common bacterial species cultured from the nasopharynx of children during otitis media episodes, with the patterns of nasopharyngeal colonization by microor

Denna framställning syftar till att lyfta fram gruppen barn som anhöriga i rampljuset. Som led i detta kommer det att redogöras för hur barns väg från objekt till subjekt påverkat barns rättigheter och särskilt rätten att få information stöd och hjälp vid förälders missbruk eller psykisk ohälsa. För att kunna ge en mer fullständig bild av detta problem har även tillämpningen av dessa eventuella reThis essay seeks to bring children with parents suffering from addiction problems or mental illnesses to the public attention. In order to do this I have to examine how the view of children within the legal system has changed, from being an object to being a subject, and how this has affected children’s rights to receive information, support and help when one or both parents suffer from addiction

Upon marketing the system in Europe and the USA cost savings generated from reduced work force have been prevailing. Since the cost of labour is much lower in the Asia Pacific region other factors have to be stressed. The parameters of flexibility and quality assurance may however cover any initial investment in a production system. Our purpose is to value flexibility and quality in a manufacturin

This masters' thesis, "The New Economy of Vision : New Urban Spaces in post-1992 Shanghai", authored by Johan Vaide, draws on the economic reforms initiated in the late 1970s to show how Shanghai has experienced a rapid and well-calculated change of its cultural landscape. Due to the launch of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" in 1978 and the construction of an entir

För att kunna begränsa brandspridningen och bidra till brandskyddet delas en byggnad oftast in i brandceller. För att vid utrymning kunna ta sig till en säker plats kommer personerna som försöker ta sig ut troligtvis passera genom en öppning i brandcellsgräns. För att kunna bibehålla brandcellsgränsen trots användande av dörrar, fönster och andra öppningar finns det vissa krav på utformning av des

Sverige har i över tjugo års tid, från såväl nationellt som internationellt håll, utstått omfattande kritik angående långa häktestider och en allt för liberal restriktionsanvändning. Vissa mindre förändringar har skett med tiden men de svenska problemen kvarstår i stort oförändrande än idag. I ett försök att åtgärda problemen tillsatte regeringen en utredning som presenterade sitt betänkande 2016,

Svensk strafflagstiftning särbehandlar unga lagöverträdare mellan 15 och 21 år vid både straffmätning och i val av påföljd. I uppsatsen beskrivs hur dagens ordning har vuxit fram sedan införandet av strafflagen 1864: dels genom att redovisa förändringarna i den positiva rätten, dels genom att analysera de straffteoretiska motiven bakom förändringarna. Den historiska utvecklingen ligger sedan till Young offenders between the ages of 15 and 21 are treated differently compared to adults in the Swedish penal system. They get their sanction reduced and can be subject to other kinds of sanctions. This essay examines how the penal system for young offenders has developed since 1864: both by describing the changes of the positive law and by analysing the influence from different penal theories. Th

The aim of this study was to investigate how care managers of elderly care reason about their work with partners to persons with dementia, to create a deeper understanding of dilemmas that occur in this line of social work. The method used was qualitative and the empirical material gathered through semi-structured interviews with five care managers. The inquiries focused on the view on partners’ s

De senaste åren har präglats av en repressiv kriminalpolitik vilket kommit till uttryck i reformer som påverkat särbehandlingen av barn och unga la-göverträdare. I juli 2023 tillsattes utredningen SOU 2025:11 Straffbarhets-åldern med uppdrag att överväga och föreslå en sänkning av straffbarhets-åldern. Utredningens arbete resulterade till en sänkning av straffbarhetsål-dern till 14 år vid allvarliIn recent years, Swedish criminal policy has become increasingly repressive, a development reflected in reforms that have affected the special treatment of children and young offenders. In July 2023, the inquiry SOU 2025:11 The Age of Criminal Responsibility was appointed with the task of considering and proposing a lowering of the age of criminal responsibility. The inquiry resulted in a proposal
