This thesis investigates the ontogeny of thermoregulation and growth in birds, to improve the understanding of how prevailing environmental temperature affects physiology and morphology, and to examine whether body size influences thermoregulation. My focus has been on temperature effects emerging after hatching, which are poorly understood compared to effects of variation in embryonic developmentThis thesis investigates the ontogeny of thermoregulation and growth in birds, to improve the understanding of how prevailing environmental temperature affects physiology and morphology, and to examine whether body size influences thermoregulation.

With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside. While creating opportunities for rural living, it has also opened a discussion on rural gentrification risks. The concept of rural gentrification encircles the influx of new residents leading to an economic upgrade of an area making it unaffordable for local With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside.

This essay explores the notion of perceived rural gentrification through a photographic lens. In 2018, regional authorities on the Swedish island of Gotland identified gentrification as a growing concern for its most remote areas. This photographic essay investigates the power of images in conveying landscape transformation and examines the role of rephotography in research. Drawing from a private

The fields of cultural tourism and heritage management are gaining attention for their potential to be better linked, particularly in terms of practical applications. This paper proposes a taxonomy of heritage resources and related heritage-based tourism types and their linkages for specific case study areas, building on the established product class approach in cultural tourism studies. The resea

Innovation Ecosystems (IE) is an emerging concept that highlights the evolution of a group of actors working around common practices, products, processes, actions, and initiatives. While we can find various definitions of urban innovation districts/ecosystems and common traits that coherently define them at the urban level, only a few scholars have focused on understanding and further defining Inn

Landscape change across scale and time is a process characterized by loss and preservation, alongside both known and unknown gains and uncertainties. In this work, we navigate these complexities as we recount the layered history of Bungenäs, Sweden—a post-productive industrial landscape rich with stories of use. Drawing on the work of Bartolini and DeSilvey (2020;2018), we explore the concept of l

Background: Sleep and behavioral regulation are both vital for early healthy development. Yet, little is known about the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to early sleep and regulatory behaviors, or how these etiological influences may change during the first months of life. Methods: Genetic and environmental influences on sleep, settle, and crying behaviors at 2 and 5 mon

This article analyses the mobilisation of migrant workers in SAC, the main syndicalist trade union in Sweden. It theorises mobilisation and solidarity from a labour process perspective and, based on ethnography, identifies accessibility, contentiousness and belonging as key mechanisms to explain the union’s form of mobilisation. By drawing on the class struggle unionism framework, it conceptualise

Denna avhandling undersöker den samtida nedmonteringen av civilsamhället i Indien genom begreppet civic governmentality. Avhandlingen hävdar att krisen för det civilas handlingsutrymme inte enbart är en berättelse om förtryck, utan om hur förutsättningarna för det civila på ett genomgripande sätt förändrats och nu präglas av auktoritär nyliberal styrning. I kontrast till dominerande narrativ som fThis thesis interrogates the contemporary unmaking of civil society in India through the analytic of civic governmentality, arguing that the crisis of civic space is not merely a story of repression but of the deeper remaking of civic subjectivity under conditions of authoritarian neoliberal rule. Against narratives that cast international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) as either heroic re

Background: Optimal treatment and support in family planning for women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and follow-up during pregnancy are important, however, there is limited knowledge from the women’s perspective on their considerations of family planning, pregnancy, and motherhood. Objectives: To explore expectations and experiences of family planning, pregnancy, and motherhood among women with T1D.

Increasing tree species diversity is known to enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, but its effect on SOC stability remains a critical uncertainty for climate mitigation. Through examination of a subtropical karst forest diversity gradient in southwest China, we reveal a fundamental shift in SOC stabilization mechanisms using physical fractionation, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

The reliable integration of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) into safety-critical settings requires guarantees that extend beyond empirical accuracy. Despite strong prediction performance, DNNs remain vulnerable to adversarial perturbations, information leakage, and disparities across different populations. Addressing these limitations demands scalable methods for formally analyzing network behavior un

Sensory traits shape animal lifestyles due to the central role they play in retrieving and processing environmental information. However, being some of the most energetically expensive tissues to build and maintain, ecological demands often modulate investment in these organs. Evidence that ecology shapes the evolution of sensory traits is plenty, but is heavily biased towards vertebrates and has

Previous research has shown that gender-inclusive pronouns can facilitate mental representation of nonbinary individuals. However, considering that gender and pronoun use are politicized in many countries, such that individuals with a right-wing political orientation show more skepticism toward nonbinarity, these effects may be compromised. Across four studies (Ntotal = 2,847), we tested whether t

In fixed-bed reactors, the use of large particles in thermally thick regimes is common, which underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of intraparticle processes. However, integrating detailed particle models into fixed-bed simulations is computationally expensive. This study introduces a tabulation method for biomass conversion’s drying and pyrolysis stages, where significant mass e

This paper examines whether high levels of intergenerational class mobility in twentieth-century Sweden eliminated class-origin income inequalities within adult occupationaldestinations, and whether childhood neighborhood exposure moderated these inequalities.Using longitudinal population-register, income, occupation, and geocoded residential data, thestudy follows individuals born between 1922 an
