Abstract I examined the evolutionary dynamics of melanic wing colouration in male and female calopterygid damselflies. I use phylogenetic analysis and ancestral state reconstructions to show that male wing pigmentation in this family evolved from clear-winged ancestors, and present evidence that wing pigmentation in male damselflies is significantly correlated (independent of phylogeny) with temp

Restored salt marsh; topography, hydrology and vegetation Coastal salt marshes are shaped through a combination of physical (i.e., sediment accumulation/erosion) and biological (i.e., vegetation) processes. They are characterized by fine sediments and halophytic vegetation. The accretion rate and elevation change has been indicated as one of the most important factors in ecology of the marshes. T

Today there are various load bearing systems to choose from, concrete, steel, timber, or a combination of these. What determines the choice is usually the economy, which depends on the solutions in the different load bearing systems that will be made. Many of these choices are made based on previous projects and previous experience but do not always lead to the optimal solution. It is important to

Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women. The 5-year survival rate for invasive breast cancer is generally good at approximately 80-85%, however it is not uncommon for late recurrences to develop – the relative survival at 15 years is approximately 60%, in contrast to for example uterine cancer where the 5-year is about 80% and very few late deaths occur (80% survival at 15-years).

Regulation of cell division in Streptomyces venezuelae -Popular science summary- Cell division is essential for bacteria to reproduce. This process involves FtsZ, an important and highly conserved cell division protein in bacteria. FtsZ plays a major role in the division mechanism by forming ring-like structure at the site of division, recruits and organizes other cell division proteins at the di

Bröstcancer och Notch-proteiner Var tionde kvinna i Sverige kommer att ha drabbats av bröstcancer vid 75 års ålder. Cancerforskningens framsteg under de senaste decennierna har förbättrat diagnostik och behandling av denna sjukdom så att man nu kan rädda majoriteten av bröstcancerpatienterna. Emellertid finns det fortfarande former av bröstcancer som inte svarar på de behandlingsmetoder som använ

Abstract Dopamine as a neurotransmitter was discovered in the late 1950s. The dopaminergic system is one of the most well studied neurotransmitter systems in the brain. It is involved in many important functions, such as motor function control; reward, reinforcement, motivation, associative learning, salience information encoding; cognition etc. Disturbances of the dopaminergic system may result

Uppsatsen utreder huruvida det finns stöd för att det när ett avtalsbrott begåtts finns någon allmän reklamationsskyldighet i svensk rätt. Om neutral reklamation eller specialreklamation avseende hävning, skadestånd eller naturafullgörelse krävs behandlas även. För att definiera reklamationsinstitutet behandlas passivitetsregler och preskription, som är till reklamation näraliggande institut eftThis essay examines if there can be found any support for that it is an obligation in the areas not regulated by law to notify the breaching party of the breach of contract. Whether neutral or special notification regarding cancelling, damages or performance is required is also discussed. To define the institute of notification, the rules concerning inactivity and statutory time limitations are

Studiens syfte var att kartlägga kommunalt anställda logopeders arbetssituation. Fullständiga data saknas inom området och är nödvändiga för att skapa en helhetsbild och därmed kunna dra slutsatser kring hur logopeders kompetens bör utnyttjas. Materialet samlades in dels via en enkätundersökning med kommunalt yrkesverksamma logopeder, dels via intervjuer med förvaltningsanställda från två kommuner

De stora häxprocesserna i Europa ägde rum under 1400- till 1700-talet. Framställningen avser att besvara hur den juridiska processen mot häxeriet var utformad samt förklara hur häxförföljelserna kunde uppstå. Den inkvisitoriska processen var karaktäristisk för häxprocesserna.

Affärsmetoders patenterbarhet har diskuteras under en lång tid, dock är de exakta kraven för att en affärsmetod ska anses patenterbar och dessas tolkning inte tillräckligt klarlagda, varken i USA eller i Europa. Även om patenterbarheten av affärsmetoder inte har varit en okomplicerad fråga i USA, har både de amerikanska domstolarna och det amerikanska patentkontoret uppvisat en förhållandevis libeThe patentability of business methods has been debated over a long period of time, nevertheless the exact requirements for a business method to be patent eligible and their interpretation remain unclear both in the US and Europe. Although the patent eligibility of business methods has not been an obvious matter in the US, the US courts and the US patent office has chosen to adopt a quite liberal s
