Animal coloration is a multifaceted trait with many ecological roles and related to a variety of developmental and physiological processes. Consequently, coloration is often subject to a variety of selective pressures, leading to the evolutionary maintenance of variation. In this study, we investigated hypotheses related to the maintenance of dorsal color variation in wood frogs (Rana sylvatica).
Background: Topical probiotics have been suggested as a treatment option for allergic rhinitis, as they may skew the immune response towards a beneficial type-1 non-allergic profile. So far observations in man have exclusively involved oral intake. The aim of this study was to examine whether a topical/nasal administration of a probiotic assemblage (PA) affects quality of life, symptoms and signs
Background: While the efficacy and safety of the contraceptive copper intrauterine device (IUD) have been affirmed, alongside its importance for the prevention of unintended pregnancies, some studies have pointed to negative attitudes toward the device. In recent years, social media communication about it has included claims about systemic side effects, unsubstantiated by medical authorities. Rese
Rapid internationalization of European higher education has resulted in a considerable increase in the number of English-medium instruction (EMI) degree programs now implemented at all levels of instruction. While this change of medium provides increased academic opportunities for all university stakeholders, the use of English by non-native speakers for teaching and learning in non-Anglosphere co
Objective: Despite recommendations, assessment using spirometry or peak expiratory flow is insufficient in the clinical evaluation of suspected obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim was to investigate factors associated with performing spirometry or peak flow expiratory flow assessment. Methods: Randomly selected subjects from the general population aged 50–65 completed a respiratory questionnair
With the growing global population and the demand for new applications, the production of fossil-based plastics is continuously increasing. This has led to serious environmental concerns about the depletion of fossil resources, land and marine pollution, and generation of greenhouse gas emissions. These undesirable consequences of fossil-based plastics have sparked a significant interest in develo
Background Previous research has associated repeated transurethral procedures after a diagnosis of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with increased risk of death of causes other than bladder cancer. Aim We investigated the overall and disease-specific risk of death in patients with NMIBC compared to a background population sample. Methods We utilized the database BladderBaSe 2.0 containin
Road verges can harbour a diversity of flowering plants and may be useful foraging habitats for pollinating insects in landscapes where flower-rich habitats are scarce. Targeted management of road verges can further enhance flower abundance, thereby potentially benefitting flower-visiting insects. However, traffic on the adjacent road could pose a risk, such that flower-rich road verges instead ac
The quantum mechanical equivalent of the classical Hall effect can lead to interesting results in solid state physics.A similar effect, that has received attention in recent years, occurs when large spin-orbit coupling is present in a material, the so-called quantum-spin Hall effect.In two-dimensional materials it leads to so-called helical edge states that exhibit counter-propagating electron sta
Objective: This study primarily aimed to comprehensively characterize the neurological, neuroradiological and neurocognitive profiles, as well psychiatric features of individuals with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 34 (SCA34) associated with pathogenic variants in the ELOVL4 gene. Secondarily, we investigated the relationship between neurocognitive functions and cerebellar morphology in individuals w
Electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs) with unique porous 3D network structure exhibit properties such as high porosity and surface area, fine-tuned surface functionality and uniform pore sizes. This makes them candidates for water/wastewater applications with excellent flow. This study focuses on the fabrication of polymeric and composite ENMs from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and nanoclay (NC) and th
Background: This study investigated the moderating role of household disposable income and family type on the association between precarious employment (PE) and diagnosed mental disorders. Methods: This longitudinal study used register data from the Swedish Work, Illness, and Labour-market Participation (SWIP) cohort. The study population included all individuals aged 27–65 who were employed in 20
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den horisontella segregeringen på grund av kön är idag den största på arbetsmarknaden; betydligt större än bland annat segregering på grund av etnicitet. Trots att vi kommit långt med arbetet för jämställdhet, tenderar män och kvinnor fortfarande att välja olika typer av utbildningar och yrken. Dessa tendenser finns redan i gymnasieskolan, där det råder könsdominans inoGender remains a key predictor of vocational choice. The present thesis aimed to investigate three social psychological barriers to nontraditional career choice. Study Ӏ showed that threats to gender identity may lead to more gender-typical occupational preferences among adolescents. The results suggested a unique effect of gender identity threat, as a control threat did not have the same effect.
Salary setting dialogue Per Hellman The Field • No central numbers – a budget for salary increases. • The agancy sets its own budget. • Objective salary setting The Field ▪ Salary is set from result and performance. ▪ Result and performance are based on buisness goals and your individual goals ▪ The salary is individual and differentiated. ▪ Salaryvsetting should contribute to efficient buisness ▪

Land use change from agricultural intensification has been highlighted as one of the major drivers of global declines in insects, reducing species diversity and abundance and shifting community composition towards generalist species. However, it remains a challenge to determine how land use change impacts the genetic diversity of species and populations even if this diversity is vital to their lon
Den ekonomiska brottsligheten har fått en allt mer markant roll i dagens rättssamhälle. Brottslighet som förövas inom bolag blir allt mer av ett samhällsproblem, inte minst när det gäller brottslighet i organiserad form. Av allt större vikt blir då hur man ställer de personer som begår brott inom ett bolag till ansvar för sina gärningar. Utifrån detta syfte har principen om företagaransvar tillkEconomic crime has played an increasingly significant role in our modern society. Crime perpetrated within companies are becoming more of a social problem, not least when it comes to organized crime. It has become of greater importance, how to hold the persons who commit crimes within a company accountable for their deeds. Based on this purpose, certain principles for criminal responsibility with
The purpose of this study is to extend knowledge of how belonging forms in brand communities by investigating how an experience-based brand community cultivates belonging in the absence of a tangible product. This involves examining what substitutes for the product as the community's shared anchor, how this substitute is produced and sustained across multiple sites, how the anchor's relati
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur materialanvändningen i platsgjutna betongbjälklag och betongväggar i flerbostadshus kan minskas genom att separera den bärande betongen från funktioner som inte behöver lösas inom själva den bärande konstruktionsdelen. Studien motiveras av betongbyggandets höga klimatpåverkan och av indikationer på att materialanvändningen i betongkonstruktioner har ökat över tid
