Ongoing pollinator declines threaten the production of many entomophilous crops. Recent reports that yields of animal-pollinated crops in India are increasing less than pollinator-independent ones suggest the occurrence of pollen limitation. We experimentally evaluated if production of the common food crop chilli benefits from insect pollination and if crop production is constrained by lack of pol
Architectural design is a process of creative problem solving, moreover architects manage not only information about the building but also about the user organisation. Therefore, information systems for architectural design must support the development of new ideas and concepts, and must be able to handle both building and user data. The paper presents two recently developed prototype applications

I det här kapitlet behandlas begreppet välfärd kopplat till tjänster och som det uppfattas av mottagarna av tjänsterna, ”kunderna”, men även hur välfärdens värde traditionellt aggregeras på samhällsnivå och de brister som finns i de mått som används. Syftet är att diskutera om de mått och uttryck för välfärd vi använder idag tillräckligt väl speglar det vi menar med ”välfärd”. Kan de mått som anvä
The Swiss/French writer and political thinker Germaine de Staël (1766–1817) was the daughter of Mme Necker and M. Necker, both of Swiss origin and Protestants. Before the revolution her father had been minister of finance and her mother used to host of one most important salon in Paris.

This is the first multi-district Standardised Patient (SP) study in South Africa. It measures the quality of TB screening at primary healthcare (PHC) facilities. We hypothesise that TB screening protocols and best practices are poorly adhered to at the PHC level. The SP method allows researchers to observe how healthcare providers identify, test and advise presumptive TB patients, and whether thisThis is the first multi-district Standardised Patient (SP) study in South Africa.

Meeting adherence is an important element of compliance in treatment programmes. It is influenced by several factors one being self-efficacy. We aimed to investigate the association between self-efficacy and meeting adherence and other factors of importance for adherence among patients with alcohol and drug addiction who were undergoing an intensive lifestyle intervention. The intervention consist
Previous research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector. This study develops a scenario based method and analyses the influence of external factors on energy security, focusing on passenger and freight transport. It does so by analysing the vulnerabilities and capabilities of five different climate mitigation strategies, investigating previous security scenariPrevious research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector.

Bromide anations of PtBr5H2O− in the presence of PtBr42− or bromine, of trans-PtBr4(H2O)2 in the presence of PtBr42− and of cis-PtBr4(H2O)2 in the presence of bromine have been studied in 0.50 M perchloric acid medium at 25 °C.The rate law for the bromide anation of PtBr5H2O−indicates two parallel reaction paths. The term k′Br−2 corresponds to a bromide assisted mechanism.

Abstract. Frontal cortex activity in the left hemisphere during depression is reduced. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that can increase frontal cortex activity. Therapy based on tDCS and positive psychology (PP) therapy was applied improving patients’ quality of life. The present study compared three conditions 29 participants with clinicFrontal cortex activity in the left hemisphere during depression is reduced.

Based on multiphase field conception and integrated with the idea of vectorvalued phase field, a phase field model for typical allotropic transformation of solid solution is proposed. The model takes the non-uniform distribution of grain boundaries of parent phase and crystal orientation into account in proper way, as being illustrated by the simulation of austenite to ferrite transformation in lo
Socialt arbete sker inte sällan i samhällets marginaler med människor som lever i en osäker, utsatt situation. Samhället hjälp och stöd distribueras allt som oftast av socialarbetare med stöd av lag, som inte alltid är given och entydig. Att djupare förstå relevant lagstiftning och andra rättskällor, samt deras individuella och samhälleliga effekter, är därför en viktig del i socialarbetares utbil
