In this study, we examined the evolutionary outcome of and interplay between historic isolation and current selection pressures on traits more or less closely connected to fitness in the Pearly Heath butterfly (Coenonympha arcania) across its range in Europe. We hypothesized that a trait mean is more related to historic events if it has low connection to fitness, while a trait more closely connect
Popular Abstract in English Popular Science Abstract In our daily routines, we use products and come across applications that involve mixtures of polymers and small amphiphilic molecules in water, for example detergents, pharmaceutics, foodstuffs, shampoos and paints. Polymers are very large molecules formed by smaller units that are repeated and connected. Amphiphilic molecules contain both one pThe research described in this thesis aims to understand the interactions between cationic poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers and small oppositely charged amphiphiles at the solid-liquid and air-liquid interfaces in relation to the bulk solution behavior. There is high interest in PAMAM dendrimers because they are well-defined polymers with a hierarchical architecture which makes them promising m
Commercially available fast-response analysers for methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) have recently become more sensitive, more robust and easier to operate. This has made their application for long-Term flux measurements with the eddy-covariance method more feasible. Unlike for carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O), there have so far been no guidelines on how to optimise and standardise
Background: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a complex congenital heart disease that requires early diagnosis as well as advanced surgical repair and postoperative support. We sought herein to study the impact of surgical timing on early postoperative morbidity.Methods: We reviewed all patients with TGA corrected at our institution via arterial switch operation (ASO) between June 2001 Background: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a complex congenital heart disease that requires early diagnosis as well as advanced surgical repair and postoperative support.

Pelvic floor reconstructive surgery (PFRS) has suffered from high recurrence rates ever since its birth. Implants were thus quickly employed, initially autologous grafts and allografts. Technological development led to the manufacturing of synthetic implants that were believed to provide the support needed during urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. However, due to a surge
Hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important evolutionary force. Novel genetic methods now enable us to address how the genomes of parental species are combined in hybrid lineages. However, we still do not know the relative importance of admixed proportions, genome architecture and local selection in shaping hybrid genomes. Here, we take advantage of the genetically divergent island po
Now more than ever, optimizing resource allocation in cloud computing is becoming more critical due to the growth of cloud computing consumers and meeting the computing demands of modern technology. Cloud infrastructures typically consist of heterogeneous servers, hosting multiple virtual machines with potentially different specifications, and volatile resource usage. This makes the resource alloc
In large corporations, customer support is a costly service, and an area of constant optimization. Solutions to increase efficiency and decrease bottlenecks are constantly needed. One such bottleneck is support tool proficiency in a customer support organization where many different tools are used, and a potential solution is to let the tool guide the user as it is being used. This thesis explores
Storytelling has been around for millennia, and it has been suggested that narratives form a paradigm through which humanity makes sense of the world. Limited research has been con-ducted to observe how different storytelling styles impact the narrative engagement of an audi-ence in destination marketing. In this study, a framework for determining and evaluating dif-ferent storytelling styles has
In this study the yeast S. pombe is used to try to find genes which can (potentially in the future) be targeted in cancer cells to stop the cells from growing. WEE1 is a kinase important for proper cell-cycle progression, as it inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases activity. It is overexpressed in many cancers and many studies are being done researching how WEE1 inhibitors can be used as a cancer trea
After the latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report in 2018 there has been an increased concern in society on the identified climate impact of flying. This has resulted in a rise of grassroots social movements that attempt to find alternative, more environmentally friendly means of travel. This research has more closely examined two of these social movements within the tourism
Events in recent years have prompted a resurgence in Sweden’s civil defence planning, with national authorities increasingly focusing on securing the supply of critical goods and services such as food. Yet the societal functions that together uphold Sweden’s food system—primary production, manufacturing, distribution, and public meal service—are embedded in complex supply chains shaped by both dom
This thesis examines the extent to which European Union (EU) labour law provides protection against unjustified dismissal. It focuses on both substantive and procedural forms of protection, as well as the limits imposed by EU competence. The analysis is based on a doctrinal method and draws on EU primary law, secondary legislation, and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJ
Uppmärksammandet av att organisationer har ett arbetsgivarvarumärke, i kombination med en ökad efterfrågan på högkvalificerad arbetskraft, har lett till uppkomsten av ett flertal best practice-modeller och konsultbyråer som specialiserat sig på att förvalta organisationers rykten som arbetsgivare. Tidiga definitioner av det som kommit att kallas för employer branding beskriver målet med detta att The acknowledgement that organizations have an employer brand, combined with the rising demand of highly qualified workers, has led to countless best practice models and employer brand consulting agencies specializing in managing organizations’ reputation as employers. Early definitions describe employer branding as aimed at both potential and existing employees in order to attract, but also retai

The report discusses mathematical modeling of thermal components, such as heat exchangers and control valves. A flexible model library for simulation has been developed. The object-oriented and equation-based modeling language Omola is used to describe the components in mathematical terms. The library of models can be used to build models of more complex thermal systems, such as heat exchanger uni
As a consequence of increasing land-use intensity and changes in farming practices, many species of pollinators have been shown to decline. These declines have led to concerns about crop pollination services performed by wild pollinators. The aim of this study was to investigate whether farming practice (organic and conventional), and increasing percentage of semi-natural grassland in the surround
