We construct a novel individual-based random-walk model to assess how predicted global climate change might affect the dispersal rates of a temperate insect. Using a novel approach we obtained accurate field measurements of daily movements for individuals over time to parameterize our model. Males were found to move significantly further on average than females. Significant variation in movement w

The majority of ectotherms mature at a larger size at lower rearing temperatures. Although this temperature-size rule is well established, a general explanation for this phenomenon has remained elusive. In this article, we address the problem by exploring the proximate and ultimate reasons for why a temperate grasshopper, Chorthippus brunneus, is an exception to the temperature-size rule. Using a

Laboratory studies of insects suggest that female fecundity may increase very rapidly with adult size and that mass may often increase close to exponentially with time during larval growth. These relationships make it difficult to see how realistic levels of larval mortality can outweigh the fecundity benefit of prolonged growth. Hence, it is unclear why many insects do not become bigger. In this

"It’s not like I’ve lived on a park bench…" : About stigmas surrounding narcotics abuse There are stigmas surrounding the abuse of narcotics that the members of society share and uphold. The stigma is produced by the idea of who a narcotics abuser is on a political level, an idea that will be reproduced by the instances of society, such as the health care or social services, that deal w

Nowadays in China, especially in big cities, young people are living under huge pressure. Everyone is living a fast-paced life. According to a report by the Social Survey Center of China Youth and Sina News Center 84% of people think they live in an "urgent time society”( fast-paced and stressful work), among them 71.1% people think that too much pressure and stress is the reason to make them

Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att identifiera, systematisera och problematisera de objektiva förutsättningarna för underlåtenhetsansvar i svensk skadeståndsrätt. Avsikten är därtill att konstruera en teoriram kring dessa förutsättningar, med en ytterligare ambition att analysera de språkliga företeelser som bygger upp rätten på underlåtenhetsområdet. Uppsatsen utgår därför från frågeställningarThe general purpose of this research paper is to identify, systematise and problematise the objective criteria for liability in relation to omissions in Swedish tort law. In addition, the paper aims at constructing a theoretical framework around these criteria, with a further intention to analyse the legal-linguistic aspects of the issue. Hence, the paper is based on question formulations regardin
