Nasonia vitripennis is an emerging insect model system with haplodiploid genetics. It holds a key position within the insect phylogeny for comparative, evolutionary and behavioral genetic studies. The draft genomes for N. vitripennis and two sibling species were published in 2010, yet a considerable amount of transcriptiome data have since been produced thereby enabling improvements to the origina

This is a proposal to organize a session.Description:The rapid development of the technological progress is constantly reshaping the organization of the firm, raising important labour law issues.One of the red treads of this phenomenon is the shifting of the focus from the “activity” performed by the worker, to the “result” obtained.In the past it was not always possible to measure the output prod

Geomorphological mapping is a well-established method for examining earth surface processes and landscape evolution in a range of environmental contexts. In glacial research, it provides crucial data for a wide range of process-oriented studies and palaeoglaciological reconstructions; in the latter case providing an essential geomorphological framework for establishing glacial chronologies. In rec

Background: Up to one third of adults have been estimated to have rotator cuff tendon (RCT) tears. Larger RCT tears are associated with poorer scores and function, and are more likely to re-rupture after surgical repairs, hence there is a need for earlier identification and treatment. The aim of this study was to identify biomarkers of RCT tear pathologies to aid accurate identification and monito

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis accounts for up to 20% of all patients with acute mesenteric ischemia in high-income countries. Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis is nowadays relatively more often diagnosed with intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography in the portal phase than at explorative laparotomy No high-quality comparative studies between anticoagulation alo

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the guiding policy for agriculture and the largest single budget item in the European Union (EU). Agriculture is essential to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but the CAP's contribution to do so is uncertain. We analyzed the distribution of €59.4 billion of 2015 CAP payments and show that current CAP spending exacerbates income inequality withi

This paper is centered around using poetic-mythological vocabulary from Northwest Semitic languages as a key to reconstruction of IE phraseology. Mythological material from the NWS area – especially Ugaritic – can sometimes be shown to represent Indo-European borrowings into NWS poetic language; by studying these cases, knowledge may be gleaned about the loan-giver.The famous phrase *egwhent ogwhi

Purpose: Twenty-first century crises reaffirm the need of faster mobilization of resources during crises. Without interorganizational collaboration and resource mobilization, organizing efficient response is not possible. Resource mobilization is an essential aspect of response. It ensures a faster and better response. Collaboration between teams of emergency responders may include commonly known

Background: The effects of "maternal environment" on fetal development have been studied since the eighties, but the results regarding the features which influence mother-fetus relationship are inconsistent. Aim: To develop a mother-fetus relationship assessment scale on a Hungarian sample, and to reveal the factors that determine mother-fetus bonding. Method: 114 pregnant women, between 15 and 38

This thesis has the general aim of exploring the role of public health and medical interventions between 1880 and 1945, targeting infectious diseases, in health and income improvements in Sweden throughout the twentieth century. It applies methods of causal inference to longitudinal individual-level data from both local and national datasets combined with multisource archival data on the implement

Malignant melanoma and breast cancer are common malignant diseases characterized by considerable heterogeneity with respect to genetics, histopathology, biology and clinical course. In breast cancer, two major susceptibility genes have been identified, BRCA1 and BRCA2, which account for a significant proportion of high-risk breast cancer families. Breast tumors arising in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation c

In the current reinforcement steel supply chain the information transmission is often done with 2D-documents. This practice prevails even when structural engineers create complete building information models containing all reinforced concrete. In some cases, the contractor uses the rebar drawings to once again create a 3D model, containing the rebar, to provide views for rebar workers to be used d

Under an action research paradigm, this thesis project explores the business potential of an environmental strategy and assesses the formulation of such a strategy implemented by an automotive original equipment manufacturer. Because of the heterogeneous nature of a company’s approach to environmental issues due to inter alia managerial conducts and company culture, this article provides an in-dep

I denna examensuppsats utreds möjliga åtgärder för att undanröja internationell dubbelbeskattning till följd av utflyttningsbeskattning av fysiska personers aktieinnehav. Internationell dubbelbeskattning innebär att samma person beskattas för samma inkomst i två olika stater. Utflyttningsskatt innebär att en stat beskattar en uppkommen värdeökning antingen direkt vid hemvistbytet (exitbeskattning)The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyze possible ways of eliminating international double taxation when individually owned shares have been subject to emigration taxation. International double taxation occurs when two states impose tax on the same taxpayer in respect of the same income. Moreover, exit taxation can be defined as taxation when the liability to tax for an accrued, but not

Skattelättnader för högkvalificerad utländsk arbetskraft är ett aktuellt ämne i dagens samhälle, eftersom konkurrensen om viss kompetens är hård på den internationella arbetsmarknaden. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera de svenska expertskattereglerna i ljuset av motsvarande danska regler. De frågeställningar som har formulerats för att uppnå syftet är hur expertskattereglerna respektive deIn today’s international labour market, the competition for certain competences and skills is tough. Therefore, tax concessions for highly qualified foreign labour has become an increasingly relevant subject. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the Swedish expert tax law vis-á-vis its Danish equivalent. In order to accomplish this, the thesis seeks to investigate how the tax concessions in Swe

Avtal kan sorteras genom att delas in i avtalstyper. Frågan om ett specifikt avtal hör till en viss avtalstyp beror på om avtalets egenskaper stämmer överens med de medlemskapskriterier som ställs upp för avtalstypen. Två avtalstyper som åtminstone i vissa delar är svåra att avgränsa från varandra är borgensavtal och försäkringsavtal. I allt högre grad ställer försäkringsbolag ut säkerhetsrätter, Contracts can be sorted into different contract types. The question whether a specific contract belongs to a certain contract type depends on if the contract matches the essential characteristics of the contract type. Two contract types that, at least in some parts, are difficult to distinguish from one another are insurance and guarantees. Insurance companies has increasingly issued different typ

Contemporary museological research concentrates to a greater extent on the influence of external factors by the museum institution rather than internal influencing forces. There are few studies on the employees' influence of the museum activities. This master’s thesis developed from a curiosity for the museum teacher as a professional group that also created a motivation to examine this unexpl
