Popular Abstract in Swedish Spridning och inavel i naturen I modern tid har vi människor orsakat stora förändringar i miljön, vilket påverkat många arters livsbetingelser. Exempelvis har vi avskogat stora områden och efterlämnat små delar av de större områden som tidigare hängde ihop. Organismer som lever i sådana uppsplittrade miljöer kommer att vara isolerade från varandra, vilket får som följdTo evaluate how inbreeding affects the viability of small populations, it is crucial to determine what constitutes a population (i.e., the number of breeders in local patches and the degree of dispersal), and also to estimate the reproductive consequences of philopatry and emigration. In this thesis, I concentrate on dispersal, inbreeding and fitness in natural populations. I consider dispersal ra

Abstract in UndeterminedThis article discusses the staff’s view on dementia and its impact on the care delivered arising outof a qualitative comparative study focusing on long-term care of older people in France, Portugaland Sweden. The aim was to explore the staff’s view on the illness dementia; on older peoplesuffering from dementia; the care provided and the impact of various views on the care.

This chapter presents methods for analysing interdependencies in critical infrastructures. In general, there are three groups of methods for analysing interdependencies; (1) conceptual, (2) model and simulation and (3) empirical and knowledge-based approaches. Examples of methods belonging to these groups are presented. The latter part of the chapter discusses challenges related to modelling, focu

Det finns två huvudsakliga svar på frågan varför forskning och utveckling, F&U, i området digitala läromedel är viktig. Det första är relativt uppenbart: Det produceras idag allt fler digitala läromedel som används i ökad utsträckning i skolan. För att kunna ta fram digitala läromedel av hög kvalitet krävs forskning och utveckling. Det andra och mindre uppenbara svaret är att digitala läromede

Krönikeartikeln behandlar ur olika synvinklar de stora och växande skillnaderna mellan medlemsavgifterna till olika a-kassor. Akademikerkassan AEA tillhör kassorna med lägst avgift (oktober 2009) medan LO-kassorna i allmänhet har högst avgifter.

We have studied the vicinal Rh(553) surface by the use of High Resolution Core Level Spectroscopy (HRCLS). We demonstrate that we are able to resolve the photo-emitted electrons from the Rh3d5/2 level originating from the step atoms with respect to those emitted from the atoms in the (111) terrace. Our study therefore shows that it is possible to obtain a core level "fingerprint" from the step ato

This paper deals with the quality aspects of e-learning courseware as seen by different quality stakeholders. In 2011, researchers and practitioners from more than 12 countries joined an initiative called “epprobate” with the aim of building a consensus on how to create a quality label and related consultative services for those who wish to enhance the educational value of their e-learning coursew

The transition radiation tracker (TRT) is one of the three subsystems of the inner detector of the ATLAS experiment. It is designed to operate for 10 yr at the LHC, with integrated charges of /spl sim/10 C/cm of wire and radiation doses of about 10 Mrad and 2/spl times/10/sup 14/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/. These doses translate into unprecedented ionization currents and integrated charges for a large-sca

Hematopoiesis is a lifelong, dynamic process in which a small number of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) residing in the bone marrow (BM) give rise to billions of mature blood cells of both myeloid and lymphoid origin each day. This enormous capacity of HSC has been utilized in BM transplantations for 4 decades and is also very important for future gene therapy. Understanding what molecu
