  1. 1. Resistance and recolonization of bryophyte assemblages following disturbances : - detecting patterns and exploring mechanisms

    Författare :Martin Schmalholz; Kristoffer Hylander; Jari Kouki; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bryophytes; boreal forest; boulders; clear-cutting; disturbance; establishment; insect outbreaks; microtopography; recolonization; resistance; spatial heterogeneity; succession; wildfires; Biology; Biologi; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Disturbances are ubiquitous features of most northern forest ecosystems. The subsequent response of plant assemblages on both short (resistance or not) and long term (recolonization or not) will depend on a number of factors operating at several spatial scales. LÄS MER

  2. 2. The distribution of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) in streams in southern Sweden

    Författare :Anders Eklöv; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; growth; density; intraspecific competition; predation; cover; interspecific interaction; fish assemblage; pollutant; recolonization; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the effect of water quality, habitat and species interactions on the occurrence and abundance of stream fishes in southern Sweden. I found that improvements in water quality between the 1960s and 1990s have led to recolonization of streams by brown trout (Salmo trutta L.), stone loach (Barbatula barbatula L. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Rarity in boreal stream: patterns, causes and consequences

    Författare :Per-Ola Hoffsten; Bo W. Svensson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Central Sweden; site occupancy; dispersal limitation; natural disturbances; recolonization; flight-morphology; metapopulation; habitat stability; spring specialists; Crunoecia irrorata; niche limitation; Isogenus nubecula; nestedness; longitudinal distribution; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Patterns of site occupancy among boreal stream insects were studied in central Sweden with focus on sparsely distributed species and the role of dispersal and niche limitations.In the study of dispersal limitation, I found that effects of an extraordinarily harsh winter in small to medium-sized streams were strongest in sites located in small streams and far from lake outlets.

  4. 4. Swedish operating room nurses preventive interventions to reduce bacterial growth, surgical site infections, and increase comfort in patients undergoing surgery

    Författare :Camilla Wistrand; Ulrica Nilsson; Bo Söderquist; Karin Falk-Brynhildsen; Tor Monsen; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skin disinfection; patient experience; skin temperature; intra-operative; surgical site infection; bacterial growth; recolonization;

    Sammanfattning : Surgical site infection is a major postoperative complication that causes patient suffering and is costly for society. The general aim of this thesis was to test and describe interventions performed by operating room (OR) nurses to prevent bacterial growth in surgical patients, with the intent to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) whilst increase patients comfort.

  5. 5. The effect  of peroperative skin preparation on bacterial growth during cardiac surgery

    Författare :Karin Falk-Brynhildsen; Ulrica Nilsson; Bo Söderquist; Örjan Friberg; Tor Monsen; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; OR; plastic adhesive drape; microbial skin sealent; chlorhexidine; Vårdvetenskap; Nursing Science;

    Sammanfattning : Routine products are used and procedures are followed in order to prevent and minimize the bacterial contamination of the surgical wound, and thus reduce the risk of postoperative wound infections. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of different preoperative skin preparation before cardiac surgery. LÄS MER
