First-season growth and food of YOY pike (Esox lucius) are habitat specific within a lake

Piscivorous fish are important predators in aquatic systems and as such they can have far-reaching effects on ecosystem composition and function. These effects depend on piscivore predation rates and behaviour, and recruitment of young-of-the-year fish into piscivory can hereby govern ecosystem properties. Growth and recruitment can differ between water bodies due to e.g. general productivity, but

Using water vapour and N2 isotherms to unveil effects of SCMs on nanopores and evaluate hydration degree

Nanopores are critical for the durability of cement-based materials, but the refinement of these pores by SCMs is yet to have a clear understanding. This paper studied effects of the water–binder ratio, SCMs and the drying on the distribution of nanopores using water vapour and N2 sorption isotherms. Results show that data of water vapour sorption can be used for a practical evaluation of the hydr

The entanglements of media and health in everyday life

Just as the title above suggests, it is difficult to address health issues without considering the role of the media and everyday life; the time and space when health is produced and cared for or put at risk and exposed. In the introduction to this special issue, ‘Media and health in everyday life’, we will discuss the three components of the theme. We will offer some definitions, but also problem

Interleukin-4 reduces insulin secretion in human islets from healthy but not type-2 diabetic donors

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with low-grade inflammation. Here we investigate if the anti-inflammatorycytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) affects glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in human islets from nondiabetic(ND) and type-2 diabetic (T2D) donors. We first confirmed that GSIS is reduced in islets from T2Ddonors. Treatment with IL-4 for 48 h had no further effect on GSIS in these isle

Abstract in DanishMan har ikke kunne undgå at høre om the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), One Belt, One Road, eller Den Nye Silkevej, som et af Xi Jinpings og Kinas vigtigste projekter bliver kaldt.Sammen med Tabita Rosendahl, Sinolog og PhD-studerende ved Lund Universitet, der forsker i netop BRI, dykker vi ned i Kinas Belt and Road Initiative.Hør om baggrunden for BRi, hvorfor det er vigtigt for

ManyBirds : A multi-site collaborative Open Science approach to avian cognition and behavior research

Comparative cognitive and behavior research aims to investigate cognitive evolution by comparing performance in different species to understand how these abilities have evolved. Ideally, this requires large and diversesamples; however, these can be difficult to obtain by single labs or institutions, leading to potential reproducibility and generalization issues with small, less representative samp

Naive poison frog tadpoles use bi-modal cues to avoid insect predators but not heterospecific predatory tadpoles

For animals to survive until reproduction, it is crucial that juveniles successfully detect potential predators and respond with appropriate behavior. The recognition of cues originating from predators can be innate or learned. Cues of various modalities might be used alone or in multi-modal combinations to detect and distinguish predators but studies investigating multi-modal integration in p

From Fleece to Thread : Interdisciplinary Evidence for the Origins of Sheep Wool

Sheep wool was used in the production of textiles across Europe from prehistoric times onwards, but its origins remain unclear. Textiles are rarely preserved in the archaeological record, but further indirect evidence supports their use, such as the study of textile tools, osteology, and terminology. Moreover, new analytical methods, such as protein and DNA analysis, enable the identification of w

Problems of Post-Communism: The Dis/Articulation of Anti-Gender Politics in Eastern Europe

This special issue examines anti-gender politics in the specific geographical and cultural space of Eastern Europe. It investigates whether the region is just another battlefield for anti-gender politics, or a unique setting for specific developments and strategies, looking at the impact and the legacy of specific historical experiences, sociological and cultural characteristics. The contributions

Migrationslagen skadar svensk forskning

De nya kraven för permanent uppehållstillstånd saboterar Sveriges strävan efter att vara en kunskapsbaserad nation – och är ett svek mot utländska doktorander. Det anser Jenny Iao-Jörgensen, ordförande för doktorandföreningen inom SULF, Sveriges universitetslärare och forskare.

My dog and I, or Paradise lost : An autoethnographic reflection on the clash between different ambitions and needs within an asymmetric relationship built on significant otherness

Through an autoethnographical reflection the aim of this paper is to explore the clash between high ethical ambitions in educative relationships and demandingbehaviours. What happens when the map does not resemble reality, when, forexample, someone in the educative relation does not behave as expected and themethods are challenged? What increases or decreases the risk that the teacher (orsimilar)
