Elater ferrugineus is a threatened click beetle inhabiting old hollow trees. Its larvae consume larvae of other saproxylic insects including the threatened scarab beetle Osmoderma eremita. Recently, (R)-(+)-gamma-decalactone was identified as a male-produced sex pheromone of O. eremita. Here we present evidence that E. ferrugineus adults use this odor as a kairomone for location of their prey. In
A method for the determination of hexahydrophthalic acid, a metabolite of hexahydrophthalic anhydride, in human urine has been developed. The urine was worked-up by liquid-solid extraction, esterified with boron trifluoride-methanol, and analysed by capillary gas chromatography and selected-ion monitoring. Hexadeuterium-labelled hexahydrophthalic acid was used as the internal standard. The precisi

Social economy organisations are attributed a major role in solving societal and environmental problems and in implementing social innovations in Europe. These organisations are private entities running economic activities whose main purpose is to provide goods and services to their members or the community at large, with profits coming second. Nevertheless, these organisations are not suffici
Education for sustainability (EfS) has been regarded a promising approach for solving sustainability challenges. Results have been unsatisfying due to a knowledge-dissemination focus in the formal sector. Reasons are economic and political interests shaping formal education. Therefore, hopes are placed in the non-formal sector to close this knowledge-to-action gap. In this case study, I aim to und
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of working from home within family friendly work policies (FFWPs) and its relationship to firm performance, and whether this is affected by the choice of management practices within an organization. Methodology: A cross-sectional dataset from 2004, including data from 732 firms and four countries, accessed through World Management Sur
Human-wildlife conflicts threaten the existence of many species worldwide. Large carnivores are often involved in such conflicts due to their diets and expansive home ranges. In Finland, wolf (Canis lupus) is one of such conflict-prone species. The wolf conflict is a multifaceted issue stemming for instance from fears, damages to domestic animals, competition for game and opposition of EU wildlife

An analytical model for estimating the link loss for the on-body wave propagation around the torso is presented. The model is based on the attenuation of the creeping waves over an elliptical approximation of the human torso and includes the influence of the arms. The importance of including the arms’ effect for a proper estimation of the link loss is discussed. The model is validated by the full-
