1. 1. Sexual conflict and selection on pistil and pollen traits

   Författare :Josefin Madjidian; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antagonistic trait; Collinsia heterophylla; delayed stigma receptivity; direct cost; first-donor advantage; gender bias; heritability; indirect benefit; mate choice; mixed-mating system; paternal diversity; pollen competition; pollen deposition; pollen load size; pollen tube growth rate; self-compatibility; semantics; sexual conflict; sexual selection; sexually antagonistic co-evolution;

   Sammanfattning : The incidence of sexual selection in plants is today acknowledged, however, just as in animals, evolution and maintenance of mate choice is gravely underexplored. Moreover, the potential for sexual conflicts to occur in plants has only been assessed empirically to a very limited degree. LÄS MER

3. 2. Indirect Exploitation of Intellectual Property Rights By Corporations and Investors: IP Privateering & Modern Letters of Marque & Reprisal

   Författare :Thomas Ewing; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; equity; non-practicing entity NPE ; innovation system; unclean hands; indirect exploitation; Intellectual property IP ; patent troll; patent misuse; privateer; intellectual property right IPR ; patent; operating company; tortious interference; corporate formalism; antitrust; investor; competition;

   Sammanfattning : Competitive pressures and rent-seeking behaviors have motivated companies and investors to develop indirect techniques for beneficially exploiting third-party intellectual property rights (IPRs) that qualitatively depart from the slate of direct exploitation tools whose usage has been honed during the past 30 years of the pro-patent era. Companies have increasingly realized that they do not need to create IPRs themselves to exploit them beneficially, which has been the conventional usage pattern. LÄS MER

4. 3. Evaluation of an educational program on depressive disorders given to general practitioners on Gotland : Short and long-term effects

   Författare :Wolfgang Rutz; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :PTD-Committee; Educational program; Evaluation; Depressive disorder; Suicide; Antidepressants; Cost-benefit; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : In the years 1983-1984, the Swedish Comittee for the Prevention and Treatment of Depression (PTD) offered an educational program to all general practitioners (GP:s) on the Swedish island of Gotland. 1982 was used as a baseline year. An evaluation of the short-term effects was made continuously until 1985. LÄS MER

5. 4. Sexual selection in the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) : A life-history perspective

   Författare :Anna Qvarnström; Uppsala universitet; []

7. 5. Land use GHG emissions and mitigation options, simulated by CoupModel

   Författare :Hongxing He; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; GHG; CO2; N2O; forest; drained peatland; clay soil; willow; soil nitrate leaching; modeling; CoupModel; GLUE; Land use; mitigation option; cost benefit analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one of the major challenges to the humankind of 21st Century. This thesis focuses on understanding, estimating and suggesting mitigation of the GHG emissions (mainly N2O and CO2) from the land use sector, specifically from forest ecosystems on drained peatlands but also from willow production on agricultural clay soil.
