Ridge-furrow mulching system is widely used for improving soil hydrothermal conditions and crop productivity in semiarid and arid rainfed areas. The response of crop productivity to resource capture and utilization is crucial for agricultural field management and sustainable development. However, few have simultaneously investigated the coupling effect of plastic film mulching (PM) types and plant

Efforts to develop effective climate strategies necessitate a better understanding of the relationship between terrestrial water and carbon cycles. Water use efficiency (WUE) has been often used to characterize this relationship, while the role of transpiration (T) in the variation of ecosystem WUE has been less investigated. Here, we partitioned WUEET (the ratio of gross primary productivity (GPP

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of single or multistage approach during fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) of extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs).METHODS: We reviewed the clinical data of consecutive patients treated by FB-EVAR for Extent I-III TAAAs in 24 centers (2006-2021). All patients received a single brand manufactured patient-sp

Kapitlet handlar om beklagliga dikotomier i rättssociologisk teori, som till exempel dikotomin rätt/samhälle. Upprätthållandet av sådana dikotomier hämmar rättssociologisk teoriutveckling. Kapitlet tar sin utgångspunkt i en debatt som initierades 1998 av Reza Banakar och som handlade om vad Banakar ansåg vara den rättssociologiska teorins underutvecklade tillstånd, eller rättssociologins identitet

Tydliga mål och förutsättningar för progression är avgörande för studenters lärande. För att stödja studenters lärandeprogression och måluppfyllelse har vi inom de naturvetenskapliga utbildningarna i Lund utvecklat så kallade progressionsplaner. Progressionsplanen konkretiserar varje examensmål i etappmål med gradvis stegrade krav. Utifrån etappmålen formuleras sedan kursmål, som tillsammans banar

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the whole-body deletion of p27 on the activity of brown adipose tissue and the susceptibility to develop obesity and glucose homeostasis disturbances in mice, especially when subjected to a high fat diet. p27 knockout (p27−/−) and wild type (WT) mice were fed a normal chow diet or a high fat diet (HFD) for 10-weeks. Body weight and composition

Fluorescence lifetime determination has proven to be useful, e.g. identification of molecules, quantitative estimation of species concentration and determination of temperatures. Lifetime determination of exponentially decaying signals is challenging if signals of different decay rates are being mixed, resulting in erroneous results. Such issues occur when the contrast of the measurement object is

On May 14, 1931, Swedish military forces opened fire and killed four striking pulp factory workers and one bystander during a demonstration in the municipality of Lunde, in the Ådalen district outside of Kramfors in northern Sweden. The killings sent shock waves through the Swedish labor movement and significantly contributed to the Social democratic win in the general elections the next year.

The development of recyclable crosslinked thermosetting fibres is an challenging research topic. In the present work, we have designed and synthesized polyurethane fibers from fructose-derived 5-chloromethylfurfural (CMF) and lignin-derived monomeric phenols. The greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of CMF showed comparable results to that of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a hig

Företag och organisationer behöver se över sina visionsplaner, projektledning, arbetsstrukturer och kommunikation för att främja inre hälsa och engagemang för naturen, skriver Frans Libertson och Gustav Osberg, doktorander inom industriell miljöekonomi.

The right to a fair trial forms an integral part of the rule of law in the EU and is enshrined in Article 47 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. It provides that 'Everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal previously established by law.' Everyone shall have the possibility of being advised, defended and represented. Furt

OBJECTIVE: This longitudinal study examines a possible causal effect between type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease (IHD) by using measurements on four occasions from the Swedish Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) together with nationwide healthcare registers.METHODS: This was a longitudinal study based on a random sample of men and women (n = 2014) from the Swedish population w

This chapter on country of origin information (COI) draws on the semi-structured interviews I have been conducting between the years 2014 and 2022 with the responsible decision makers of the Swedish welfare state: migration court judges. By applying Spivak’s concept of ‘epistemic violence’ in my qualitative content analysis of ten of these interviews, I problematise the COI that judges apply when

During the 1930s financial crisis, Central bank of Sweden (Riksbank) actively intervened the liquidity of banks and the market through a range of monetary operations. The monetary policies combined with the devaluation of currency, was regarded as a crucial factor that led to the quick and strong recovery of Sweden. By making use of the balance sheets of the whole banking system, this paper explor

Wildfire danger indices, or fire danger rating systems, are widely used to inform decision-making related to wildfire risk management. Several studies have compared different indices’ performance; however, results have shown that this varies in different parts of the world. Further, many of these indices have not yet been assessed for Swedish conditions. In this study, four different weather-based
