We counted butterflies in almost all open grasslands in an area of 8000 hectare over five years (2001-2005) in the central part of the parish of Stenbrohult, southern Sweden (Fig. 1; 56 degrees 37' N, 14 degrees 11' O). This area is currently dominated by forests. Grasslands, mainly grazed by cattle and horses, only cover about 6 % of the area. The study area consisted of 18 farms, most ot them ar

Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, and affects approximately 1% of the population over 65 years of age. Many different insults appear to be involved in the etiology of the disease, among them environmental toxins and mitochondrial dysfunction. During the past five years, mutations in five different genes have been linked to rare, familial forms of Parkinson’s

Numerous electronic travel aids (ETAs) to increase the mobility of blind or low-vision (BLV) individuals have been proposed. However, the lack of established and well-motivated methods, and of recruiting enough BLV test participants, keeps a successful aid illusory. To combat this, a new aid-agnostic questionnaire focused on mobility, the Desire of Use Questionnaire for Mobility of BLV individuals

I mången biografi över Stalin finns resonemang om de långtgående konsekvenserna av att människor, i höga likväl som blygsamma befattningar, gjorde allt i sin makt för att blidka diktatorn Stalin.

This thesis is a study of the Swedish culture politics, in particular the area of cultural heritage. My ambition was to look into the cooperation between the municipalities in Scania (Skånes kommuner) and County Administrative Board in Scania (Länsstyrelsen i Skåne) to try and find out if that is the reason for the absence of useful information about our prehistoric cultural heritage on the web p

Skyddet för non-refoulementprincipen uttrycks bland annat i Flyktingkonventionen, Tortyrkonvention och EKMR. Principen stadgar ett skydd för flyktingar att inte bli återsända till ett land där deras mänskliga rättigheter riskerar kränkas. Inbördeskriget i Syrien har genererat att mer människor än någonsin befinner sig på flykt runt om i världen.
