    Sammanfattning : The thesis studies the agricultural revolution in the province Halland in southwestern Sweden. New tools, land reclamation, new cultivation systems, better livestock, enclosures and free holding during the period 1700-1900 are investigated. The source materials consist of estate inventories, land survey documents and present descriptions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Uncovering the Past through ancient DNA : The Fate and Legacy of the last hunter-gatherers in Western Europe and Northwestern Africa

    Författare :Luciana G. Simões; Mattias Jakobsson; Torsten Günther; Cristina Valdiosera; Emma Svensson; Martin Sikora; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; human evolution; archaeogenomics; ancient DNA; population genetics; hunter-gatherer; Populationsbiologi; Population Biology; Genetik; Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : The genetic analysis of ancient human remains has revolutionized the study of human history, opening a direct window onto the demographic and evolutionary events that shaped our species' past. I use state-of-the-art ancient DNA methodologies, from sample collection and DNA extraction to data analysis, to study the ancient past of the western Mediterranean region, where climate does not favour DNA preservation.

  4. 3. Preaspiration in the Nordic languages : synchronic and diachronic aspects

    Författare :Pétur Helgason; John J. Ohala; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

    Sammanfattning : Preaspiration—the production of glottal friction at the juncture of a vowel and a consonant—appears to be typologically rare but is an areal linguistic feature of Northwestern Europe. This study contains a survey of the known geographical spread of preaspirated stops, their phonological distribution and phonetic expressions in some Nordic dialects. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Geographic differentiation and population history in Silene dioica and S. hifacensis: variation in chloroplast DNA and allozymes

    Författare :Ursula Malm; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; morphology; taxonomy; Systematic botany; conservation biology; endemic; chloroplast DNA; allozyme; hybridization; gene flow; geographic variation; postglacial migration; genetic diversity; Silene; phytogeography; chemotaxonomy.

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I used allozymes and PCR-RFLP analysis of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) to investigate geographic differentiation within the widespread Silene dioica (L.) Clairv. (Caryophyllaceae) and the narrowly-distributed S. hifacensis Rouy ex Willk. LÄS MER
