  2. 11. Genomic analysis of the process leading up to the extinction of the woolly mammoth

    Author : Patrícia Pečnerová; Love Dalén; Mark Thomas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; woolly mammoth; Mammuthus primigenius; extinction; Wrangel Island; ancient DNA; palaeogenetics; population genetics; genomics; genomic erosion; genetic drift; inbreeding; population size; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Abstract : Species worldwide are subject to contractions in both abundance and geographical range, and their persistence in a changing environment may thus depend on the ability to survive in small and fragmented populations. Despite the urgent need to understand how extinction works, our knowledge of pre-extinction genetic processes is limited because techniques allowing population and conservation genomics to be studied in wild threatened populations have become available only recently.

  5. 13. Moments on a City Bus : Micro-sociology of Non-verbal Interaction in Urban Bus-riding

    Author : Magdalena Vieira; Sandra Torres; Elin Thunman; Philip Lalander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; public places; mundane; non-verbal interaction; interaction moments; gestures; homogeneous heterogeneous interaction; micro-sociology; Goffman; bus-riding; riders; time; space; bodies; interaction norms; structured participant observation; fieldnotes; territories; involvement; rituals; Sociologi; Sociology;

    Abstract : This thesis seeks to contribute to research on social interaction in public (and semi-public) places in general, and research on non-verbal mundane interaction in these places in particular. By paying empirical attention to the non-verbal interaction that takes place in the context of riding a city bus – which is a contained and time-limited form of social activity – this thesis explores the theoretically rich source of information about mundane interaction that this specific social activity offers.

  6. 14. Getting going on getting better : how is systematic quality improvement established in a healthcare organization? Implications for change management theory and practice

    Author : Johan Thor; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Despite the widespread application of quality improvement (QI), there is enduring uncertainty about its effectiveness in healthcare as an approach to the inevitable, but challenging, task of managing organizational change. This uncertainty is due, at least in part, to our limited understanding of what it takes to apply QI fully in healthcare organizations as well as to the difficulties involved in evaluating QI efforts.

  7. 15. Remarks on the quality of GPS precise point positioning using phase observations

    Author : Masoud Shirazian; Lars E. Sjöberg; Martin Lidberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; GPS; PPP; Phase;

    Abstract : GPS processing, like every processing method for geodetic applications, relies upon least-squares estimation. Quality measures must be defined to assure that the estimates are close to reality. READ MORE
