16. Rituellt stål – symbolik och vidare implikationer för den skandinaviska järnåldern
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/ArkeologiSammanfattning : The theory of using bonecoal to create steel during the scandinavian iron- and viking-age also came with theories of ancestor worship - through use of ancestor´s bones, fertility - by liking iron-work to childbirth, and the ritual role of iron-smiths - in making that happen. This text endeavors to compare these theories with others and conclude that ancestor worship was a possible motive for grave-robbing or chosing particular animal bones to create steel, but no conclusive evidence for it has been found, nor, indeed for ancestor worship itself.

17. Vad kan djurs empatiska förmåga innebära för vårt omsorgsetiska ansvar?
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and HealthSammanfattning : Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka om djur kan känna empati och att utforska vad det kan innebära för djurs förmåga att känna lidande. I omsorgsetikens anda diskuteras sedan vilken betydelse detta skulle kunna ha för vårt moraliska ansvar gentemot djuren, inom alla sfärer av djuranvändande. LÄS MER
18. Facing the Inevitable : Using the modern practice of Döstädning to understand Ättestupa
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historiaSammanfattning : Ättestupa has been a contentious practice ever since the translation of Gautreks saga. This senicide practice has largely been viewed as a parody of the culture of Västergötland and has received little attention. But with new interest in the modern practice of Death Cleaning, we might finally understand Ättestupa as a real tradition. LÄS MER
19. Bioinformatic approaches for detecting homologous genes in the genomes of non-model organisms : A case study of wing development genes in insect genomes
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/EvolutionsbiologiSammanfattning : Identifying homologous genes, that is genes from a common ancestor, is important in comparative genomic studies for understanding gene annotation and the predicted function of a gene. Several pieces of software, of which the most well-known is BLAST, have been developed for identifying homologues, but this can be challenging in non-model organisms where sometimes poor quality of genome assemblies and lack of annotation make it difficult to robustly identify homologues.

20. Apan som blev kock
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/ArkeologiSammanfattning : How far back in time can we trace fire use in the human story? The archaeological data has demonstrated inconsistency when it comes to answering that question. Incontrovertible remains after hearths are scarce especially before 100,000 years BP. LÄS MER
