The main component of the sex pheromone precursor in females of Macrodiprion nemoralis was identified as a threo-3,7,9-trimethyl-2-tridecanol isomer, approximately 800 pg per female, by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Comparison of mass spectrometric ion chromatograms showed that the natural compound in the female extract has the same retention time and mass spectrum as one of the two synthe
The article reflects on the mechanisms aimed to control the fulfillment of the EU sustainability criteria for biofuels, as they were promoted in Directive 2009/28/EC. The article contains the final results of the research initiated in the work Pavlovskaia, E. (2013) “Controlling the Fulfillment of the EU Sustainability Criteria for Transport Biofuels”, which was published in RELP 4/2013. The artic
Fluorescence lidar is a non-invasive, remote sensing technique that makes it possible to extend the application of the laser-induced fluorescence technique to the outdoor environment where uncontrolled, external conditions must be met. Although initially developed for the investigation of marine environment and vegetation, in the past decade this technique has been successfully applied to the fiel
A search for a heavy Standard Model Higgs boson decaying via H -> ZZ -> l(+)l(-)q (q) over bar, where l = e or mu, is presented. The search uses a data set of pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1) collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC. No significant excess of events above the estimated background is found. Upper limits at 95% co
In 2014, the sharia-ruled Aceh province of Indonesia legislated bylaw qanun jinayat no.6/2014, which criminalised same-sex acts, and imposed a caning punishment consisting of a hundred lashes if a person was found guilty. The law impelled a hunt and persecution of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) individuals, thereby worsening discrimination against the already hampered LGBT community. T
Title: Understanding the boost for knowledge sharing in the front-end: A single case study about motivation to cross-functional share knowledge in the front-end Date: May 2018 Course: ENTN39 Master’s Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and degree project (Master’s thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Herslow, Carl-Johan & Wild, Max-Joseph Supervisor: Ass.

This thesis analyzes blood diamonds and the human rights issues surrounding them. The problems they pose and the promises and limitations of the Kimberly Process are covered along with the development and future impact of man-made diamonds on the demand side of the blood diamond problem. There are two main sections--the first covers blood diamonds and the second man-made diamonds. The introduction
Old-growth forests have profound roles in the provision of biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. These forests and their protection are threatened by structures within the Swedish Forestry Model and Sweden’s attitude towards the European Union’s environmental and climate policies relating to forest management. A literature review and semi-structured interviews employed through a mixed-meth
The objective of this thesis is the integration of the TRIZ-method (Altshuller) and the AAK-method (Roth)into the industrial design engineering process model and the validation of the integration by the industril design engineering project "Conceptual design of an armchair for elderly people".
The CSDDD, the EU’s mandatory due diligence directive, is a landmark addition to the EU’s corporate sustainability framework that transforms previously voluntary norms into binding law. Its mandatory due diligence obligations require companies to identify, assess, and address adverse human rights and environmental impacts in their chain of activities, both within and outside the EU. The aim is to
Kvidingefältet ligger i nordvästra Skåne på Söderåsens nordöstra sida och avlagringen är ett delta som bildades i en havsvik under deglaciationen av området. Syftet med undersökningen är att göra en arkitektonisk analys av Kvidingedeltats tredimensionella uppbyggnad och att ta reda på hur deltautbyggnaden gått till. Sedimentologiska studier i form av översiktskartering utfördes i åtta av täkternasThe Kvidinge deposit is situated in north-western Scania, southern Sweden. It is a delta formed in a bay during the deglaciation of the area. The purpose of the investigation is to do an architectural analysis of the threedimensional build-up of the Kvidinge deposit and to reconstruct the progradation of the delta. Sedimentary studies have been performed in eight sections and seven logs have been
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Undersökningens baseras på prover från hårdvävnaden hos belemniter som är en utdöd form av bläckfisk. Syftet var att undersöka de NO-skånska kretaceiska belemniternas stabila isotopinnehåll, samt att analysera deras diagenetiska och paleoklimatologiska status. Belemniterna kommer från fyra lokaler: Ullstorp, Ignaberga, Åsen och Balsvik vilka alla ligger i KristiStable isotope compositions (δ18 0 and δ13 C) and cathodoluminescence characteristics were determined in 112 belemnite rostra, including Belemnellocamax grossouvrei, Belemnitella alpha, Belemnellocamax mammillatus, Belemnellocamax balsvikensis, Gonioteuthis quadrata scaniensis, Belemnitella mucronata and Belemnella lanceolata. The main aims were to determine palaeoenvironmental and diagenetic infl
Two major debates frame Arctic prehistory: the emergence of specialized maritime economies that support sedentism and growing socio-political complexity, and the role of these economies in the transition from Paleo-Inuit to Neo-Inuit traditions. This shift, originating in the Bering Strait, led to Thule Inuit dispersal across the Arctic, impacting Indigenous communities today. However, understandi

The Arctic has warmed more than twice the rate of the entire globe. To quantify possible climate change effects, we calculate wind energy potentials from a multi-model ensemble of Arctic-CORDEX. For this, we analyze future changes of wind power density (WPD) using an eleven-member multi-model ensemble. Impacts are estimated for two periods (2020–2049 and 2070–2099) of the 21st century under a high
Global reconstructions, inclusive of environments and ecosystems, and biodiversity counts for the Devonian Period are often done so at the expense of high latitude regions given a historical lack of data presented from these areas. This has bearing on the recognition of biocrises (events marked by extinctions and faunal turnovers) at high latitudes as well as their controls and potential correlati
Of the more than 2,000 Scandinavian newspapers published in North America prior to World War I, few have been preserved for posterity. One long-forgotten paper recently resurfaced: the Norwegian language newspaper Vikingen of Edmonton, Alberta, published by the Scandinavian Literary and Youth Societies on the eve of World War I. A survey of Vikingen’s editorials provides an insight into an active
Obese individuals are more likely to develop heart failure. Yet, once heart failure is established, the impact of overweight and obesity on prognosis and survival is unclear. The purpose of this joint scientific statement of the European Association for the Study of Obesity and the European Society of Hypertension is to provide an overview on the current scientific literature on obesity and heart
