Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En mycket reaktiv spårgas i Amazonas. Växter släpper ut flyktiga organiska ämnen, som är mycket viktiga eftersom de släpps ut i stora mängder och påverkar tillverkningen av aerosoler, förändrar luftkvaliteten och fungerar som kommunikation mellan växter och herbivorer. Det här arbetet presenterar uppmätningar av sesquiterpener, vilka är flyktiga organiska partikSesquiterpenes are highly reactive terpenoids produced by vegetation and may serve many important biological functions such as acting as antioxidants and as semiochemicals (chemicals acting as messengers within or between species). Once emitted to the atmosphere, by reacting with oxidants like ozone and contributing to secondary organic aerosol formation, the emission of sesquiterpenes from vegeta

This master's thesis sets out to explore information literacy in a contextualized learning environment with emphasis on students at a vocationally oriented program in the Swedish upper secondary school. The concept of information literacy is widely discussed and furthermore a common subject for research within the field of Library and Information Science. Information literacy can be described

The directly photosensory pineal organ of the rainbow trout functions primarily as a luminance detector. Its neutral output reflects the level of ambient illumination in an almost linear fashion over several orders of magnitude. It may thus transmit information about the daily light-dark cycle to central projection targets in the brain, and exert an important control over putative central oscillat

This thesis contains two studies focusing on motivation in learning and teaching French as a foreign language in Sweden. In the first study, the effect of three specifically designed pedagogical activities on learners’ Ideal French Self (IFrS) and Intended Effort (IE) was examined in a group of 15-year-old Swedish pupils. No significant difference could be found between the two intervention classe

The global demand for sustainable, plant-based food systems has increased significantly over the past decade and is projected to continue rising. Andean seeds are interesting contributors, not only for their high nutritional value but also for their ability to grow naturally in very harsh conditions. Among these Andean seeds, four have gained interest due to their nutritional value and potential i

The fast development of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) services—such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-E—have within a short period of time gained immense uptake and popularity. At the same time, such services have given rise to fundamental challenges from a copyright perspective. Court proceedings have been initiated in many jurisdictions on the compatibility of such services with copyright

The extensive and very deep ?Jurassic/Cretaceous–Palaeogene sedimentary basins offshore West Greenland have a significant petroleum exploration potential. This is particularly true for the offshore region west of Disko and Nuussuaq where a live petroleum system has been documented for many years. At present, stratigraphic knowledge in this area is almost nonexistent and analogue studies from onsho

Background: To understand how the neuronal circuits in the brain process information there is a need for novelneuro-electronic interfaces that can interact chronically with brain tissue with minimal disturbance of thephysiological conditions in the tissue, in awake and freely moving animals. For this, there is a need for implantableneuro-electronic interfaces that are mechanically compliant with t

[3H]Arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic acid (18:2) were fed to thoracic duct-cannulated rats in test meals of either tracers alone, cream, Intralipid, pure arachidonic acid, or pure linoleic acid. Less [3H]20:4 than [14C]18:2 was recovered in chyle during the first 5 h. After cream feeding, the proportion of radioactivity found in phospholipids was high and increased during the first 3 h.

The present experiment was performed to determine whether different types of grafted central cholinergic neurons are able to form synaptic contacts with host hippocampal neurons. Grafts from the septal-diagonal band area, which contain the neurons that normally innervate the hippocampal formation, were compared to those from the nucleus basalis magnocellularis region (NBM), the striatum, the ponto

Human fetal mesencephalic dopamine (DA) neurons, obtained from 6.5-9 week old aborted fetuses, were grafted to the striatum of immunosuppressed rats with 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the ascending mesostriatal DA pathway. The effects on amphetamine-induced motor asymmetry were studied at various timepoints after grafting. At eight weeks, functional graft effects were not evident but after 11 weeks

Kunskapsintensiva företagstjänster (KIBS) har en nyckelroll i den ekonomiska utvecklingen. Deras konkurrenskraft och värdeskapande processer bygger på komplexa samarbetsrelationer med kunder och andra aktörer. Av den anledningen har forskningen konventionellt lyft fram att dessa företags konkurrenskraft är starkt beroende av geografisk närhet till stora klient- och arbetsmarknader liksom till avanKnowledge intensive business services (KIBS) play a key role in economic development. Due to the complex and collaborative nature of their value creation processes, it is conventionally argued that they depend strongly on physical proximity to large client-, and labour-markets, as well as on closeness to advanced knowledge infrastructures. This thesis partially questions such conventional assumpti

In this study, we present summertime concentrations and fluxes of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) measured at a sub-arctic wetland in northern Sweden using a disjunct eddy-covariance (DEC) technique based on a proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer (PTR-MS). The vegetation at the site was dominated by Sphagnum, Carex and Eriophorum spp. The performance of the DEC system was assesse

Key performance indexes (KPIs) in various forms have always been used in one way or another in the production and processing of raw materials. The need for KPIs was accentuated with the advent of industrialism in the western world. The way and strategy of manufacturing industrial products has been divided into several so-called developmental transformations. Primarily after the depression of the 1

The development of neuromorphic computing requires devices that can use low power consumption and highly parallel architecture to process and store information, similar to the biological nervous systems. Molecular photoswitches, especially Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts (DASAs), offer a promising platform for such applications, because they undergo reversible, light-driven structural changes and

Denna uppsats har intentionen att behandla det patentsystemet som reglerar läkemedelsutvecklingen. I uppsatsen har det utretts vad som är skälet bakom patentsystemen. Området är unikt gentemot andra patentsystem på så sätt att den innehåller andra skyddsskäl. Det har ansetts att ett väl utvecklat patentsystem för läkemedel ska ta tillvara på mänsklighetens högst skyddsvärda intresse, nämligen folkThe intention of this essay is to process the patent system and its regulations in the department of pharmaceutical development. An analysis has been made of what the purpose behind the regulation of patents are. This field is unique towards other fields of patent law since it aims to protect different purposes. It has come to the conclusion that a well regulated patent system means to achieve a h

Jordabalkens felregler har genomgått lagändringar och utvecklats genom rättspraxis. I ett HD-avgörande, NJA 2007 s. 86, ansågs en säljare av fast egendom under vissa kriterier ha en upplysningsplikt för fel som omfattas av köparens undersökningsplikt, men som säljaren har vetskap om. Mot bakgrund av det tidigare rättsläget och HD:s argumentation i det enskilda fallet har domens prejudikatvärde ifrThe regulations in property law (JB 1970:994) regarding defects in real estate have undergone changes and developed through case law. In a ruling by the supreme court, NJA 2007 s. 86, a seller was considered, under certain criteria, to have a duty to disclose regarding a defect that he was aware of, although it was detectable and therefore subject to the buyer´s obligation to inspect. Because of t
