This paper investigates how variability in partial foraging preferences for patch types can be used as a behavioral indicator of the energetic value of that patch type, and of overall food availability in the territory. The species studied was the lesser spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor) and the patch types it uses are four groups of tree species (oak Quercus robur, birch Betula pendula, B. p
Numerical simulations are used to compare the resolution and efficiency of 2D resistivity imaging surveys for 10 electrode arrays. The arrays analysed include pole-pole (PP), pole-dipole (PD), half-Wenner (HW), Wenner-alpha (WN), Schlumberger (SC), 'dipole-dipole (DD), Wenner-beta (WB), gamma-array (GM), multiple or moving gradient array (GD) and mid point-potential-referred measurement (MPR) arra
Aim Understanding the driving forces and mechanisms of changes in past plant distribution and abundance will help assess the biological consequences of future climate change scenarios. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether modelled patterns of climate parameters 6000 years ago can account for the European distribution of Fagus sylvatica at that time. Consideration is also given to the ro
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the frequency of some extrahepatic manifestations of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in northern European patients, including a postulated association between HCV and primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS). DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTING: Department of Medicine, Malmo University Hospital, Sweden. PATIENTS: Twenty-one patients with HCV infection and 53 with primary SS (accor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är resultatet av min doktorandutbildning vid Kvartärgeologiska avdelningen, Geologiska institutionen, Lunds universitet. Avhandlingen baseras på pollenanlytiska undersökningar av ett antal lokaler i södra Sverige. I denna syntes sammanfattas resultaten av undersökningarna. Introduktion och bakgrund Avsikten med avhandlingen har varit att studera etablHigh resolution pollen analysis was carried out on five peat profiles from small forest hollows at four sites in southern Sweden. The general aim was to investigate the establishment of Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies at stand-scale. The sites used for this study were all located within the area where the present distribution limits of Fagus and Picea overlap each other. The results from the diffe
Study Type - Diagnostic (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? It is well known that CIS is a major risk factor for muscle-invasive bladder cancer and that this entity can be difficult to diagnose. Taking cold-cup mapping biopsies from different areas of the bladder (BMAP) is commonly used in patients at risk of harbouring CIS. The diagnostic ac
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon of the human body which makes injuries of it very painful and incapacitating. A common factor of the pain are heterotopic ossifications, which are mineral deposits occurring inside the normal tendon tissue. Why and how heterotopic ossifications occur are somewhat unknown. To investigate this, many different methods of study have been trialed by scientists
Denna uppsats behandlar framtida utfästelser att överlåta fast egendom och i synnerhet ersättningsklausuler som kopplats till utfästelsen. Framtida utfästelser att överlåta fast egendom har ingen rättsverkan på så sätt att en överlåtelse inte kan framtvingas. Som huvudregel kan heller inte en part som drar sig ur åläggas att betala skadestånd. Den part som ändå vill sätta press på sin motpart kan This paper deals with future commitments to transfer immovable property and especially compensation clauses connected to the commitment. Future commitments to transfer immovable property has no legal effect, a party can not enforce transfer. Nor can a party be required to pay damages. A party that wants to put pressure on its counterpart can induce a special commitment to replace possible damages.
The Chinese government has been working on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for the past 20 years to further its goal of expanding global hegemony. It attempts to increase its economic and political influence in the BRI destinations through several projects and six main corridors. These initiatives, in my opinion, have a significant impact on transforming the urban landscape. Considering that mo
This research set out to examine if participation can improve the management of water resources in rural Jordanian communities. Jordan is second most resource-scare country in the world, and is facing significant increase in demand for water as a result of the arrivals of refugees from the Syrian conflict. The purpose of this work is to delineate the role of participation as a facilitator for impr
Förtal har, mot bakgrund av #metoo-rörelsens framväxt, fått ökad samhällelig uppmärksamhet. Främst kvinnor har blivit dömda för förtal i samband med offentliga uttalanden om upplevelser av sexuella övergrepp, där dem pekat ut en viss man som deras förövare. Offentliga uttalanden om en annans brotts-lighet eller förkastlighet, trots dess sanning, är kriminaliserat i Sverige. San-ningsbevisning tillDefamation has, in the context of the #metoo movement, received increased social attention. Mainly women, have been convicted of defamation in relation to public statements about experiences of sexual assault, in which they have identified a certain man as their perpetrator. Public statements about another´s criminality or reprehensibility, despite its truth, are criminalized in Sweden. Truth evid

Gaia Near InfraRed, or GaiaNIR for short, is a proposed successor to the original Gaia satellite. Its main improvement over the Gaia satellite is the fact that GaiaNIR will observe in the infrared spectrum. This would allow the telescope to see through the heavy extinction of the Milky Way, as the interstellar gas and dust obstructs light mainly in the visible spectrum. A selection function utiliz
Sverige var under flera år ett av få länder i Norden som inte hade någon möjlighet att garantera ett vittne anonymitet under rättsprocessen. Den 1 januari 2025 trädde emellertid den omdebatterade lagen (2024:1180) om anonyma vittnen i brottmål i kraft. Genom lagen infördes ett system som innebär att ett vittne under vissa förutsättningar kan höras anonymt under en förundersökning och rättegång i bFor several years, Sweden was one of the few countries in the Nordic region that had no way of guaranteeing a witness anonymity during a legal process. However, on January 1, 2025, the much-debated Act (2024:1180) on Anonymous Witnesses in Criminal Cases entered into force. The Act introduced a system according to which a witness, under certain conditions, can be heard anonymously during a prelimi
Carried interest har varit omdebatterat inom skatterätten under merparten av 2000-talet. Företeelsen vilken är en del av de avgifter som tillfaller ett riskkapitalbolag vid förvaltande av en riskkapitalfond innebär en asymmetrisk avkastning för vissa nyckelpersoner. Frågan om hur denna ersättning ska beskattas hos mottagaren har debatterats och är i skrivande stund fortfarande aktuell. Vad gäller Carried interest has been debated in tax law for most of the 2000s. This concept, which forms part of the fees allocated to a private equity firm for managing a private equity fund, results in asymmetric returns for certain key individuals. The question of how this compensation should be taxed for the recipient has been debated and, at the time of writing, remains a current issue. In the Swedish i
Inom den sociala barnavården och familjehemsplaceringar av barn finns det tre grundtankar, kontinuitet, flexibilitet och närhet. Vid en familjehemsplace-ring med stöd av lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga ska vår-den vara inriktad på att den unga ska återförenas med sina föräldrar, men det finns undantag. Flyttningsförbudet stadgas i 24 § LVU och ger möjligheten att införa ett förbudIn the field of child welfare there are three fundamental principles: continuity, flexibility and proximity. In the case of a family home placement according to The Care of Young Persons Act, the care must be aimed at reuniting the young person with their parents, but there are exceptions. Prohibition of relocation is regulated in section 24 of The Care of Young Persons Act and pro-vides the possi
Neurodegenerative diseases are becoming an increasing social and economic burden worldwide. A subset of neurodegenerative diseases, called tauopathies, accumulate abnormally aggregated tau (a microtubule-binding protein) as one of their main pathological hallmarks. The role of microglia, the immune cells of the central nervous system, in tau pathology, has been increasingly discussed in the past y
Estimating depth from an image is an ill-fitted problem, since we project a three-dimensional space to a two-dimensional image. However, human can estimate a plausible depth from only a single eye and often are we relaying on this for quick estimation of moving objects. Although machine learning has shown to be powerful in computer vision tasks, the process of constructing deep learning models is
Om naturagäldenären i ett avtal delegerar vidare sin prestationsskyldighet enligt avtalet till en tredje part uppkommer en så kallad kontraktskedja. I praktiken är dessa vanligt förekommande, inte minst vid entreprenadavtal där en generalentreprenör kan anlita en mängd olika underentreprenörer för att uppfylla avtalsförpliktelsen mot beställaren. Om en sådan tredje part, det vill säga det bakre leWhen the debtor of a contract delegates his duty to perform under the contract to a third party, a chain of contracts is created. This type of chain of contracts often appears within construction agreements, when the contractor enters into an agreement with a sub-contractor in order to fulfil his obligations towards the employer. If this third party commits a wrongful act, which causes harm to the
Rådande klimatkris kräver lösningar. Företagsmarknadens aktörer har bl.a. genom fenomenet klimatkompensation visat på en vilja att ta sitt ansvar i krisen och kompensera för deras befintliga utsläpp. Den klimatkompensation som redogörs för i uppsatsen innebär att företag finansierar projekt som är miljömässigt fördelaktiga och beräknas kompensera för samma andel utsläpp som företaget bidragit tillThe current climate crisis requires solutions. Solutions that not only are dictated by the government, but ones that also engage corporations. Currently, many companies are showing a willingness to take responsibility in the crisis and mitigate their emissions through imposing phenomena such as climate compensation. While there are many broad definitions within the scope of taxation law; as define
