Environmental manipulation experiments showed that species respond individualistically to each environmental-change variable. The greatest responses of plants were generally to nutrient, particularly nitrogen, addition. Summer warming experiments showed that woody plant responses were dominant and that mosses and lichens became less abundant. Responses to warming were controlled by moisture availa
The organisational network of global environmental governance (GEG) mirrors the complexity of the planet's manifold and overlapping ecosystems. Bursting onto the international stage in the 1970s, environmental issues began to be addressed by a series of new international organisations, most of them affiliated with the United Nations.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hos människan lever en rad mikroorganismer som tillsammans utgör normalfloran. Normalfloran återfinns på alla kroppsytor, det vill säga huden och slemhinnorna i munnen, svalget, magsäcken, tunn- och tjocktarmen, vagina och urinrörsmynningen. Samspelet mellan människokroppen och mikroorganismerna utsätts dagligen för påfrestningar. En sådan naturlig påfrestning är de sjuThis thesis is concerned with a family of bacterial surface proteins expressed by different strains of the anaerobic Gram-positive, commensal and human pathogen Peptostreptococcus magnus. These proteins have been studied with respect to their role in virulence, function, structure, and evolution. Strains isolated from patients with vaginosis have previously been shown to be associated with express
Ungdomar har varit föremål för straffrättslig särbehandling i flera sekel. Den nuvarande särbehandlingen föreskrivs i 29 kap. 7 § BrB och medför att om någon begår brott innan hen fyllt 21 år så ska dennes ungdom särskilt beaktas vid straffmätningen. Detta resulterar i en straffnedsättning, s.k. straffrabatt som minskar i förhållande till ökad ålder. Straffrabatten motiveras utifrån ungdomars brisYoung offenders have been specially treated in Swedish criminal law for centuries. Regulations of today are to be found in 29 kap. 7 § BrB and prescribes that anyone who commits a crime before the age of 21 should receive a reduction of their penalty because of their youth. This results in a so-called “penalty discount” that reduces as the age increase. The reasons for the existence of the penalty
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om utreseförbudet i 31 a § Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) uppfyller sin skyddsfunktion. Undersökningen görs främst med stöd i förarbeten, rapporter om ämnet från Jämställdhetsmyndigheten och med avgöranden från olika förvaltnings- och kammarrätter utifrån en rättsdogmatisk och kritisk rättsdogmatisk metod. Uppsatsen redogör för denThe thesis examines if the travel ban found in section 31 a of The Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (1990:52) (LVU in Swedish) fulfils its protective function. The thesis relies mainly on legislative history, reports from the Swedish Gender Equality Agency and decisions made by administrative courts and administrative courts of appeal. The research question is answered using a legal
Concepts such as Creating Shared Value [CSV] and Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility [SCSR] respond to a demand for organisations to take responsibility for their contributions to increasing social issues such as social exclusion or the effects of climate change. The concept of SCSR is describing activities that provide economic values for organisations while at the same time targeting socia
Den ökade användningen av artificiell intelligens på e-handelsplattformar på-verkar hur konsumenter interagerar med varumärken i en onlinemiljö. Re-kommendationssystem samlar in information om användaren och presenterar därefter förslag på produkter som den tror användaren kommer finna intres-santa. Utöver en ökad närvaro av artificiell intelligens säljs alltmer förfalskade varor i takt med att onThe increased use of artificial intelligence at e-commerce platforms affects how consumers interacts with trademarks online. Recommendation systems is gathering data from the users and suggests products that it think the user will like. In addition to the increased use of artificial intelligence, the sales of coun-terfeited products are on the rise because of the increased e-commerce. E-commerce p

Background: The literature reviewed in the context of this master’ programme frequently refers to the enormous and increasing flows of people in the global era (Dicken, 2007; Lechner, 2004; Yeates, 2008); consequently, these flows have different directions and motives and represent diverse types of migration and migrants. As a result, the pivotal point here is the specificity of scientific migrati
Naturliga grusavsättningar är ändliga resurser och verkar som akviferer för grundvatten vilket gör dem viktiga för det svenska samhället. För att kunna bevara dessa värdefulla tillgångar måste ett ersättningsmaterial hittas; krossten (aggregat) är ett bra alternativ. I föreliggande undersökningar har tolv bergartsprov av gnejs från det Östra Segmen-tet i sydvästra Sverige analyserats för att se huNatural gravel deposits act as aquifers storing ground water but are a finite resource and an important asset to the Swedish community. In order to preserve these assets for the future substitute materials have to be located; crushed rock material (aggregates) is an alternative. Twelve gneiss samples from the Eastern Segment, southwestern Swe-den, have been characterized and analyzed for suitabili
Two different chemical recipes comprising various pollutants were selected to create high (HC) and low (LC) levels of contaminated synthetic greywaters (SGW). Remediation in macrocosm–scale floating treatment wetlands (FTW) vegetated with Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud. (common reed) was investigated under natural weather conditions. The presence or absence of vegetation, short or long
BackgroundThe relationships between North Atlantic and North Pacific faunas through times have been controlled by the variation of hydrographic circumstances in the intervening Arctic Ocean and Bering Strait. We address the history of trans-Arctic connections in a clade of amphi-boreal pelagic fishes using genealogical information from mitochondrial DNA sequence data. The Pacific and Atlantic herr
