Recent insect decline prompts rapid online monitoring solutions with specificity for thousands of coexisting species.I demonstrate how microscopic and nanoscopic features of insects can aid differentiation of species and be retrieved with spectral lidar.

Human rights defenders, social leaders, and environmental and indigenous activists fight for political, cultural, social, economic, and environmental rights and often face intimidation and violence as a consequence. In this article, we analyze how the implementation of the peace agreement signed in 2016 between the government of Colombia and the FARC-EP guerrilla group affects environment and huma

The additional effect of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on muscle strength and physical performance after a structured exercise programme is not well understood.

Competitive breath-hold divers try to achieve maximum times, depths, or distances underwater, thereby risking hypoxic syncope. In the present study, the cardiorespiratory responses to dynamic apnea (simultaneously initiated apneas and dynamic leg exercise) were investigated in 10 breath-hold divers. The divers performed 60 s dynamic apneas with the face in air (A) or face immersed in cold water (A

In the chapter, “Trade Unions and Collective Agreements in a Changing World”, Anders Kjellberg explains why Swedish union density still is very high from an international perspective and why it fell dramatically in the years 2007 and 2008, particularly among Young and foreign-born employees, both containing a high share of precarious workers. Also, a number of long-term factors pressing union dens

Reality TV is popular entertainment. And yet a common way to start a conversation about it is ‘I wouldn’t want anyone to know this but…’ Why do people love and love to hate reality TV? This book explores reality TV in all its forms - from competitive talent shows to reality soaps - examining a range of programmes from the mundane to those that revel in a spectacle of excess. Annette Hill’s resear

K2[Pd(NO3)4] has been prepared and its crystal structure determined by use of a CAD-4 diffractometer with monochromatic Mo Kα radiation. The space group is P21/c with Z = 4; a= 7.940(2); b = 15.469(4); c = 9.453(2) Å; β = 91.10(3)°. The refinement converged to R = 0.023. The structure contains discrete complexes of [Pd(NO3)4]2− with pseudo-symmetry C4. Pd coordinates four oxygens from different un

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease associated with the destruction of pancreatic β cells and genetically linked to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II DR3-DQ2 and DR4-DQ8 haplotypes. The +49A/G polymorphism of the immunoregulatory cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene is also associated with T1D. Genetic and environmental risk factors precede the onset of T1D, which is char

Sammanfattning I svensk rätt finns flera inskränkningar av den personliga avtalsfriheten. Pactum turpe är en av dessa och inskränkning innebär att vissa former av avtal som faller under den inte erhåller rättsordningens skydd. Under denna bestämmelse innefattas avtal som står i strid med lag eller goda seder, varav den senares innebörd är närmast omöjlig att fastslå. För att avgöra om ett avtal fa

Roten till cancer? Cancer är en ledande orsak till en stor mängd dödsfall i världen och därför en fruktad sjukdom. Forskningen gör dock framsteg och man kommer allt närmre svaren på gåtorna. På senare år har det föreslagits att en speciell typ av celler, cancerstamceller, är drivande och ligger bakom flera av cancersjukdomarnas egenskaper. Alla organismer är uppbyggda av celler, den stora majoriIn recent years increasing evidence supporting the stem cell hypothesis have emerged and cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been reported to have been isolated in a wide variety of cancers. This CSC population has been attributed to contribute to the therapeutic resistance of many cancers and it is thus of great interest to find new therapeutic options targeting these cells. In ileal carcinoids however

The political participation of women is an important indicator of the degree of gender equality in certain country. In India, which is often referred to as the world’s largest democracy, the national parliament consists of only 11 % women. In a vast majority of India’s 28 states the female representation in their respective legislative assemblies is even less. However, when five states were holdin

The aim of this thesis, using interpretive approach, is to explore how former top-level athletes perceive leadership in their role as manager. Furthermore, how they perceive they transfer their experience in sport to their managerial role. We build our study on theories about leadership, followership, life skill development in sports and life skill transfer process. The fieldwork of this study inc

Idag har stora delar av världens befolkning tillgång till internet och många äger smarta telefoner och datorer. Den tekniska och teknologiska utvecklingen har skapat snabb och enkel tillgång till fakta, skapat möjligheter för människor att hålla kontakten med varandra på distans, skapat nya jobb och förenklat spridningen av information. I takt med utvecklingen har även användningen av sociala medi

The aim of this study was to understand and explain which social and structural risk factors are behind young people choosing to commit criminal acts, in order to increase awareness of the problem. The method that was selected in this study was a qualitative method based on autobiographies and biographies. Four different autobiographies were used as empirical evidence and the analysis of the autob
