  1. 1. War and Unreason. Bounded Learning Theory and War Duration

    Författare :Marco Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; war duration; security dilemma; offense-defense balance; offensive expectations; offense dominance; defense dominance; Winter War; Continuation War; Iran-Iraq War; Indo- Pakistani War; ideas; rational choice; expected utility; war; bounded learning theory.; war duration;

Offense-defense theorists have assumed that wars are shorter and it is more difficult for states to create security when military technology favors the offense and attacking is easier than defending. This study argues that this assumption is wrong on both accounts. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Evolutionary consequences of dominance at the Brassicaceae self-incompatibility locus

    Författare :Jörg Alexander Bachmann; Tanja Slotte; Vincent Castric; Ove Eriksson; Pär Ingvarsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Capsella; mating system shift; self-fertilization; self-incompatibility; small RNA; dominance; Arabidopsis; population genetics; genomics; gene expression; ekologi och evolution; Ecology and Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism that allows plants to enforce outcrossing by rejecting self-pollen and pollen from close relatives. In the Brassicaceae, SI is sporophytic and controlled by the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Phonological Adoption through Bilingual Borrowing : Comparing Elite Bilinguals and Heritage Bilinguals

    Sammanfattning : In the phonological integration of loanwords, the original structures of the donor language can either be adopted as innovations or adapted to the recipient language.

  5. 4. The relationship between personality and social dominance in the domestic fowl – a critical perspective

    Författare :Anna Favati; Olof Leimar; Hanne Løvlie; Andrew Sih; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aggression; behavioural syndromes; chicken; Gallus gallus domesticus; intra-sexual selection; resource holding potential; social hierarchy; social rank; etologi; Ethology;

    Sammanfattning : Social dominance relationships are formed within numerous animal species and reduce costly fights over resources. Dominant individuals often enjoy greater access to important resources such as food and mating partners, and are generally more aggressive, bold, active and explorative compared to subdominant individuals.

  7. 5. Unravelling Sustainability : The complex dynamics of emergent environmental governance and management systems at multiple scales

    Författare :Lucas Dawson; Ingrid Stjernquist; Marine Elbakidze; Raimonds Ernsteins; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Integrated adaptive environmental governance and management; Social-ecological system dynamics; Complex systems; Sustainability transitions; Sustainability strategies; Multi-level governance; Causal loop diagrams; Green Infrastructure; Landscape restoration; Habitat restoration; Biodiversity conservation; Comprehensive planning; Stakeholder participation; System thinking; Water Framework Directive; Sustainable water governance; Collaborative learning; Communities of practice; Knowledge management; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis adopts a complex systems approach to investigate the dynamic emergence of sustainable environmental governance and management systems in multiple contexts in Europe. Accelerating rates of environmental degradation across the world have called the legitimacy of previous environmental governance and management arrangements into question. LÄS MER
