How signal diversity evolves under stabilizing selection in a pheromone-based mate recognitionsystem is a conundrum. Female moths produce two major types of sex pheromones, i.e., long-chainacetates, alcohols and aldehydes (Type I) and polyenic hydrocarbons and epoxides (Type II), alongdifferent biosynthetic pathways. Little is known on how male pheromone receptor (PR) genes evolvedto perceive the

In August 2022, a new rule on remote property securing was introduced. The rule is found in Chapter 6 § 12 a of the Enforcement Code, granting the Police Authority the power to secure property for enforcement purposes. This can occur when police officers, in the course of their normal duties, come into contact with property they suspect can be seized. In such cases, the Police Authority can call t

Global investment decisions are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, and this study examines how firm-level practices toward sustainability have the potential to attract foreign ownership. Focusing on the Eastern European and Central Asian (EECA) region, the interaction between foreign direct investment (FDI) and sustainable management practices within the context of middle- to upper-middle-i

This project will analyze the current situation for fiber routing. It will research how well planned excavations on the roads and their restorations are today. The project will also study how often road reinforcements and fiber routing are applied simultaneously and how experts perceive the situation. The project is carried out in the municipality of Svalöv who are currently building a fiber netwo

Formoterol administered by a dry-powder (DP) capsule inhaler was compared with a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) with regard to bronchodilating and systemic effects. The study used a double-blind, crossover, double-dummy technique. Twelve patients with moderate reversible asthma in a stable phase were examined on two separate study days, and the inhalers were given in randomized order. Aft

After infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, humans and mice under certain conditions develop arthritis. Initiation of inflammation is dependent on the migration of innate immune cells to the site of infection, controlled by interactions of a variety of adhesion molecules. In this study, we used the newly synthesized compound S18407, which is a prodrug of the active drug S16197, to analyze the funct

The problem of fluid-structure interaction, occurring in many industrial and engineering applications, are of great importance, since interaction of a flow and a structure in it can lead to serious damages of the structure. The fluid-structure interaction gives rise to a variety of different physical phenomena such as flow-induced vibration, noise generation, etc. As an alternative to experimental

This single-case study deals with the process surrounding the potential extension of the EU-Moroccan Fisheries Partnership Agreement in 2011. The purpose is to trace and to explain what arguments that have been wielded by the three involved institutions (the Commission, the Council and the Parliament) and why. For this purpose two logics of political action, the logic of consequentiality and appro

Eutrophication is one of the biggest environmental problems in Scanian waters, where agriculture has the largest input. Through soil cultivation and usage of fertilizers, nutrients are added and released. If no uptake occurs nutrients can be further transported to watercourses through surface runoff or the drainage system. This study investigates three measures to reduce and reuse nutrients from d
