Rice paddy agro-ecosystems play an important role in global carbon (C) sequestration. Because of flooding management, paddy soil experience periodical changes in oxygen availability, which may make soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation unique as compared to upland or other wetland ecosystems. However, at present, information about the relevant mechanisms involved in paddy SOC mineralisation is
The stress response is governed by automatic neurological and hormonal processes that occur before we become consciously aware of a dangerous situation. If stress ensues for 15-30 seconds, the hormonal processes may have progressed so far that recovery takes an hour or longer instead of minutes. Stress can affect our behavior and in certain professions, such as the police force and emergency servi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Målet med kollektivtrafik är bl a att anordna transportförsörjning för alla samhällsgrupper på ett samhällsekonomiskt effektivt vis. En grupp medborgare är rullstolsburna resenärer, vars speciella förutsättningar ställer särskilda krav på transportsystemets utformning. För att utröna dessa speciella förutsättningar på ett ansvarsfullt sätt, är det viktigt att man anläggEliciting wheelchair-seated passengers’ perspective of safety and comfort is both useful and mandatory, particularly for researchers, clinicians, transit authorities, and for operators during purchase and use of vehicle technologies in existing and planned future transport systems. Therefore, the overarching objective of this thesis was to delineate the question of safety and comfort as perceived
Background: Internet addiction is one of the fast-growing addictive behaviors and is a significant public health problem affecting a large number of people worldwide. Excessive use of the internet among university students increases their risk of internet addiction and related negative consequences. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with internet addiction among m
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Män, våld och moralarbete uppmärksammas hur män, som frivilligt sökt sig till verksamheter där det erbjuds behandling för våld i nära relationer, rapporterar om sina erfarenheter. Rapporteringarna består dels av svar på frågeformulär, dels genom deltagande i samtalsintervjuer. Författaren analyserar hur männen förklarar sina handlingar och gestaltar återberättade erfMen, violence and moral work- Reports from help-seeking men at treatment centers working with violence in close relationships Men’s violence against women is an extensive social problem. In the 1970s, a new kind of centers were established in the US and UK, focusing on treating men who had been violent against their wives or girlfriends, the aim which is to end the men’s violent behavior. In the
Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is a novel treatment for type-2 diabetes. DPP-4 inhibition prevents the inactivation of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which increases levels of active GLP-1. This increases insulin secretion and reduces glucagon secretion, thereby lowering glucose levels. Several DPP-4 inhibitors are in clinical development. Most experience so far has been with sitag
Abstract Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can form in both freshwater and marine environments, which could threaten the health of human beings and animals. The genera that are known for causing the scums in freshwater are Anabaena, Microcystis, Cylindrospermopsis and Planktothrix. In order to control lake water quality and minimize the potential health risk associated with the cyanobacterial blooms, th
Accumulated carbon uptake, apparent quantum yield (AQY) and light-saturated net CO2 assimilation (A(sat)) were used to assess the responses of photosynthesis to environmental conditions during spring for three consecutive years. Whole-tree chambers were used to expose 40-year-old field-grown Norway spruce trees in northern Sweden to an elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration, [CO2], of 700 mu mol C
The number of supply chain disruptions has increased over the last couple of years. The Covid-19 Pandemic, blockage of the Suez Canal and Russian invasion of Ukraine are some well-known examples of disruptions. Academia seems to have noticed the increasing disruptions and has explored proactive Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) as an approach to address this. Consulting firms also suggest compan
Through a recent line of landmark judgments, the European Court of Justice has widened the scope of application of the freedom of establishment under the EC Treaty. It is now clear that the said freedom does not only convey upon undertakings the right to form subsidiaries or branches abroad&semic it also gives them the right to incorporate in one Member State only to conduct all their business
There has been an increasing interest in wastewater treatment in last decades to reduce human footprint. Primarily, anaerobic technology focused on treatment and stabilization of sludge, but now the tendency is to give it a major role in low cost treatment of high/low strength wastewaters, since anaerobic digestion offers energy generation through gas production. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (A
Popular Abstract in Swedish Arktiska ekosystem utgör en viktig del av det globala terrestra utbytet av växthusgaser och energi med atmosfären. I ett klimat som förändras, särskilt uttalat i Arktisk, bör tänkbara framtidsprognoser av växthusgasutbytet från dessa områden övervägas noga när framtida klimat modelleras. En förutsättning för detta är detaljerade studier av nyckelprocesser som påverkar vArctic ecosystems represent an important component in the global terrestrial exchange of greenhouse gases and energy with the atmosphere. In the changing climate, which is most pronounced in the Arctic, the possible scenarios of greenhouse gas exchange response should be seriously considered in predictive climate modelling efforts. As a prerequisite for this, detailed studies of key processes affe
Main recommendations: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the standard of care for the complete removal of large (≥ 10mm) nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs). Increased detection of LNPCPs owing to screening colonoscopy, plus high observed rates of incomplete resection and need for surgery call for a standardized approach to training in EMR. 1 Trainees in EMR should have achieved basic co
Northern mires are significant natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), yet estimating CH4 emissions remains challenging due to their complex spatio-temporal dynamics. While eddy covariance (EC) measurements provide valuable insights into ecosystem-scale CH4 fluxes (FCH4) over mire areas typically < 0.05 km², the predictability of FCH4 at the mesoscale (∼0.5 – 20 km²) of a mire complex based
BACKGROUND: Health workers' (HWs') perspectives on the quality of maternal and newborn care (QMNC) are not routinely collected. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to document HWs' perspectives on QMNC around childbirth in 12 World Health Organization (WHO) European countries.METHODS: HWs involved in maternal/neonatal care for at least one year between March 2020 and March 2023 answered an onl
With an aging population, an increased burden is put on national and regional healthcare and social systems. In Sweden, municipalities are required to provide inhabitants with the social services needed to enable them to live an independent life in their own home for as long as possible. Urban green spaces (UGS) may increase physical activity and social interaction, as well as improve wellbeing an
This paper studies the impact of land use and land cover change (LULCC) on the climate around 2500 years ago (2.5 ka), a period of rapid transitions across the European landscape. One global climate model was used to force two regional climate models (RCMs). The RCMs used two land cover descriptions. The first was from a dynamical vegetation model representing potential land cover, and the second
