This study examined how self- and teacher-rated executive functioning (EF), measured with the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Second Edition, differed between adolescents with and without self-reported neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs; e.g., autism), across levels of internalizing symptoms, and how EF, NDDs, and internalizing symptoms related to academic achievement. Analyses i
Trots att miljö- och produktionsmål formellt varit jämställda i skogspolitiken under de senaste decennierna, är förlust av biologisk mångfald ett fortsatt problem. Inom skogspolitiken i Sverige och Finland har strategier för ökat skydd av biologisk mångfald framhållit frivillighet, som certifiering av skogsbruk och frivilliga avsättningar mot kompensation. Det saknas dock kunskap om hur resultatenDespite decades of claimed ambitions to increase environmental consideration in forest policy, biodiversity loss in boreal forests continues. As the pressure on forest biodiversity intensifies, due to land use competition, shifting societal demands, and climate change, it is crucial to address the shortfall of biodiversity policies in reaching their intended outcomes. Voluntary policy instruments
The 1990s were significant for several events promoting environmental protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. For instance, both the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, which stressed the need to stop the overconsumption of natural resources and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change endorsed a framework to combat climate change. Si
Ozonation is one of the most promising advanced oxidation processes to be implemented as quaternary treatment for the removal of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants. However, there are some knowledge gaps that limit its implementation. First, the removal efficiency is not known for all pollutants, and second, knowledge about degradation byproducts is limited, as well as the toxicity of
UNLABELLED: Pectobacterium brasiliense ( Pbr) is known to be one of the most virulent Pectobacterium species and is generally widely distributed across the globe, especially known for causing soft rot in potato-tubers and black leg in potato-plants. Currently no treatment mechanism exists, and many studies have focused on alternative treatment approaches such as biocontrol agents. Several stu
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major driver of evolution and a key source of innovation in the microbial world. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as plasmids and phages, often act as agents of HGT or as vehicles for cargo genes, some of which define the adaptive potential of the host organism in specific environments. These genes are involved in immunity, anti-immunity, virulence, and anti
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a significant risk factor for several neurological disorders, including stroke and dementia, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying these risks remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated temporal proteomic remodeling of the cerebrovasculature in male spontaneously hypertensive rats and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto controls at 30 and 40 weeks of age, represen
We consider the numerical approximation of the stochastic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with additive noise on the one-dimensional torus. The complex nature of the equation means that many of the standard approaches developed for stochastic partial differential equations cannot be directly applied. We use an energy approach to prove an existence and uniqueness result as well as to obtain moment
Second language acquisition (SLA) research has historically prioritized classroom-based contexts, with the exception of areas such as study abroad, incidental and self-directed learning. In the last decades, however, research interest in second language (L2) learning beyond the classroom has grown substantially, expanding our understanding of where and how L2 learning takes place. This can be larg
Digital phantoms are virtual representations of the human body used in medical research to test equipment, train medical professionals and develop or validate algorithms. These models can be created from ‘real-world’ clinical data or from ‘synthetic data’. Phantoms derived from clinical data often serves as ‘ground truth’ reference values anchored in empirical observations. However, there is growi
Urbanization is driving cities to grow, often through urban densification. Utilising computer-based simulations executed over 3D representations of the city is imperative in addressing the challenges posed by implementing sustainable urban densifications; like ensuring adequate access to daylight and limiting noise pollution. However, since these simulations are usually resource-intensive, timecon
BACKGROUND: Changes in Ischemic White matter hyperintensities volume (WMH) on MRI over time are associated with cognitive decline. We investigated whether changes in WMH volume over time exhibit WMH-normalized volume threshold effects on declining cognitive performance and whether these effects on cognition differ between deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMH) and periventricular white matter h
”Hur kan det europeiska storstadstornet rädda staden?” Ungefär så, och sett i motsats till den anglosaxiska skyskrapan, kan det projekt som genomsyrar den här boken formuleras..."
This short communication explores the intersection between agroecology and spirituality, drawing on field insights from faith-based agroecological initiatives in Uganda and the teachings of Laudato Si, Pope Francis’s encyclical on integral ecology. We specificallyfocus on agroecological practices observed at institutions where agroecology is integrated with spiritual renewal through forest regener
