For model-based quantitative reconstructions of past vegetation cover on the scale of landscapes, pollen productivity estimates (PPEs) are key input parameters. In this study, we employed a random sampling strategy to collect moss polsters at 20 sites in Changbai Mountain, northeastern China. A detailed vegetation survey within 1000-m radius around each sampling point was carried out and digitized
Estimates of relative pollen productivity (RPP) represent key input parameters for model-based quantitative reconstructions of past vegetation cover. In this study, we provide the first RPP estimates for 13 taxa from the forest steppe ecoregion in southeastern Romania (southeastern Europe). We used modern pollen assemblages from 26 points together with vegetation surveys and mapping, covering a 1.
Background Providing high quality nursing care for patients with malignancies is complex and driven by many factors. Many of the associations between nursing care quality, trust, health status and individualized care remain obscure. Objective To empirically test a model of association linking hospitalized cancer patients’ health status, nursing care quality, perceived individuality in care and tru
[NiFe] hydrogenases catalyse the reaction H2 <-> 2H(+) + 2e(-). Several states of the enzyme have been observed by spectroscopic methods. Among these, the two most oxidized states, called the unready Ni-A and Ni-SU states, have been especially intriguing, because they take a much longer time to activate than the corresponding ready Ni-B and Ni-SI states. It has recently been suggested that the unr
This thesis examines the effect of water quality, habitat and species interactions on the occurrence and abundance of stream fishes in southern Sweden. I found that improvements in water quality between the 1960s and 1990s have led to recolonization of streams by brown trout (Salmo trutta L.), stone loach (Barbatula barbatula L.) and eel (Anguilla anguilla L.). The response was greatest for brown
Introduction: Due to the high cost and complexity, the oral glucose tolerance test is not adopted as the screening method for identifying diabetes patients, which leads to the misdiagnosis of patients with isolated post-challenge hyperglycemia (IPH), that is., patients with normal fasting plasma glucose (<7.0 mmoL/L) and abnormal 2-h postprandial blood glucose (≥11.1 mmoL/L). We aimed to develop a
The design of port complexes is a process that requires considering geographical and economic features of the territory. It is necessary to aggregate the characteristics of coastal landscapes, seascapes, artificial elements, dangerous objects, etc. The experience of implementing such projects (for example, in Sabetta) suggests that all participants in the design process need highly precise geograp
Motivation: Comparisons of microbiome communities across populations are often based on pairwise distance measures (beta-diversity). Standard analyses (principal coordinate plots, permutation tests, kernel methods) require access to primary data if another investigator wants to add or compare independent data. We propose using standard reference measurements to simplify microbiome beta-diversity a
Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the strong triple bond inN2. The active site contains a complicated MoFe7S9C cluster. It is believed that itneeds to accept four protons and electrons, forming the E4 state, before it can bind N2.However, there is no consensus on the atomic structure of the E4 state. Experimentalstudies indicate that it should contain two hydride ions bridging two pai
This report examines the possibilities of decarbonising operation & maintenance vessels for a prospective floating offshore wind power park at the Utsira Nord site in Norway, through self-sufficient energy carrier production utilizing power-to-X-solutions. Possible alternative fuels are identified as compressed hydrogen, batteries, liquid hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and biofuels, out of which
Global warming and climate change is getting a serious issue and a great environmental threat that affects many aspects of life and our ways of living on this planet. The negative effects of climate change are endangering our communities, health and economy. Global warming can be considered as a main reason for sea rising levels, extreme heat which is responsible for many forests’ fires, severe dr
Dune slacks are biodiverse seasonal wetlands within sand dune systems, strongly influenced by the dynamics of the local groundwater regime. Future climate predictions indicate strong adverse impact on the hydrology and therefore ecology of these wetland ecosystems. In this study we aimed to find the most appropriate hydrological and ecological indicators to summarise dune slack plant community res
Ph.D. Course at the Social Science Faculty, fall 2019 Political Psychology Hanna Bäck and Magnus Lindén Course description This Ph.D.-course deals with theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of Political Psychology. Political psychology focuses on applying what is known about human psychology to the study of poli- tics. This course starts out with an overview of various theoretical appr

Selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of ammonia is a interesting field of research and is becoming increasingly more popular due to ammonias role as a hydrogen carrier for ammonia based hydrogen production. With the rise of ammonia based hydrogen, focus now lies on finding cheap and efficient ways to remove unreacted ammonia from the final gas stream. This to be done, without burning or destroying
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) pose a potential threat to migratory birds, either as a barrier or as a result of lethal collisions. We aimed to demonstrate the temporal and spatial frames for potential mitigation measures for a rare and protected species. We analysed 74 autumn migration tracks for 65 GPS-tagged Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) through an area with operating and planned OWFs. On thei
Vägen till modevetenskap var inte spikrak för Agnes Lindblom. Efter studenten reste hon och återvände sedan hem till Piteå. Hon ville plugga, men bilden av en "trygg" framtid var snäv: läkare, jurist eller psykolog. En vän tipsade om modevetenskap och nyfikenheten avgjorde beslutet att läsa i Lund.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Frontotemporal demens (FTD) är en grupp av demenssjukdomar som främst drabbar hjärnans pannlober och främre tinninglober. Gemensamt för FTD-sjukdomarna är en fortskridande nervcellsförlust och förtvining av framför allt hjärnbarken. Sjukdomen medför personlighetsförändring med beteendestörningar, förändringar i känsloliv och kognitiva svårigheter. En försämring av språkFrontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the clinical term for a heterogeneous group of dementia disorders with symptoms emerging from frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). FTD encompasses the behavioural variant (bvFTD) and the progressive aphasias: progressive non-fluent aphasia (PNFA) and semantic dementia (SD). Neuropathological classification is based on protein pathology with three major subgrou
