Declines of insect pollinator diversity in farmlands have neither been halted nor reversed despite large efforts to change the negative trend. One driver of this is agricultural intensification, which has resulted in landscape simplification by loss of non-crop habitats, and increased use of inorganic fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. Consequently, the presence of grazing animals in agricultur

The socioeconomic health gradient has widened since the mid-21st century, but the role of childhood neighborhoods remains underexplored. Most neighborhood studies on health are cross-sectional, and longitudinal research is lacking.We analyze how socioeconomic neighborhood conditions in childhood influence cause-specific deaths in adulthood. We use uniquely detailed geocoded longitudinal microdata

This thesis examines how consolation is expressed in the Finnish devotional writings of field chaplain Carolus Olai Pictorius during the Swedish campaign in Livonia in 1622. These texts were written for Finnish soldiers in the Swedish army, many of whom remained in Riga as part of the garrison after the city's capture. The study aims to analyse how language, theology, and pastoral care relate

This paper advances scholarship on deliberate destabilisation for sustainability transitions. To understand how deliberate destabilisation plays out in practice, the politics of such processes must be confronted. To this end, we bridge research on the political economy of sustainability transitions with recent theorisations of the deliberate destabilisation of unsustainable socio-technical regimes

The aim of this paper is to explore the morphosyntactic and semantic properties of the Takituduh Bunun (Austronesian: Central Taiwan) motion prefix u-, glossed as MOT. One central function of this prefix is to encode translocative motion. It can attach to a general locative marker, location nouns, nouns that denote places, and place names to derive a verbal constituent that encodes translocative m

Det här är den andra rapporten i det treåriga forskningsprojektet Kommunikativa organisationer 2.0. Rapporten baseras på tidigare forskning samt intervjuer med 47 personer inom tre olika organisationer. I denna rapport fokuseras chefer och medarbetare i ett verksamhetsnära perspektiv. I rapportens första del ges en övergripande bild av tidigare forskning om ledarskap och det hybrida arbetslivet. D

First sphere engineering has enabled potent artificial phosphatases, but strategies that generate enzyme-like second-sphere effects with simple disordered materials remain limited. Here we demonstrate that partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA80, 80% hydrolyzed) acts as a minimalist soft matter scaffold that amplifies the hydrolytic activity of hydrated Zn(II). Rather than functioning as

This paper studies the performativity of smart mobility expectations in envisioning urban futures. Smart mobility, or ICT-enabled transport services, are increasingly considered a necessary ingredient for sustainability transitions in cities. Expectations of smart mobility’s contribution to such a transition are constituted by a strong belief in the transformative potential of data collection and

Strengthening international climate governance is seen as pivotal for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, a systematic understanding of their dynamic interactions remains limited. Given the strong interconnections among the SDGs, climate governance policies designed to advance one goal can significantly influence progress on others, highlighting the need for an integrated

Background and aims Secondary prevention medications after myocardial infarction (MI) are crucial for reducing mortality and cardiovascular events, however, adherence is often suboptimal. This study aimed to investigate predictors of adherence, and clinical outcomes among STEMI and NSTEMI survivors in Sweden. Methods This nationwide cohort study included patients hospitalized with MI between 2017

There is increasing evidence that over-production of reactive species (RS) constitutes a significant physiological cost for migrating birds. The current view entails that RS during migration originate primarily from increased metabolic activity associated with prolonged flights and refueling. In this review, we argue that there is another substantial, yet mostly overlooked, source for RS in migrat

Background: Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication following anterior resection for rectal cancer and may increase the risk of long-term bowel dysfunction. This study aimed to assess the long-term impact of anastomotic leakage on major low anterior resection syndrome (major LARS) at a uniform follow-up time. Methods: We conducted a nationwide cohort study using the Swedish Colorectal Cancer

This document summarizes the discussions and outcomes of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) Theory Alliance topical program ‘The path to Superheavy Isotopes’ held in June 2024 at FRIB. Its content is non-exhaustive, reflecting topics chosen and discussed by the participants. The program aimed to assess the current status of theory in superheavy nuclei (SHN) research and identify necessary

Ideellt engagemang utgör en central del av det svenska förenings- och studentlivet, där många studenter lägger betydande tid och energi på oavlönat arbete vid sidan av sina studier. Trots avsaknaden av ekonomisk ersättning fortsätter detta engagemang att vara både omfattande och långvarigt, vilket väcker frågor om vilka faktorer som driver studenter att engagera sig och vad som gör att engagemangeVoluntary engagement is a central aspect of Swedish student life, where many students invest significant time and energy in unpaid work alongside their studies. Despite the absence of financial compensation, such engagement remains both extensive and long-lasting. We aim to answer questions such as, what motivates students to participate and what factors contribute to sustaining their involvement

I ett litet skånskt vattendrag hittades förhöjda halter av så kallade ”evighetskemikalier” som kan innebära risker för livet under ytan. Trots att vattnet ser rent ut visar mätningar att påverkan från industri och avloppsvatten är större än vad man tidigare känt till. PFAS är en stor grupp industrikemikalier med mycket goda vatten-, fett- och smutsavvisande egenskaper samt hög kemisk- och värmestFreshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by persistent chemical pollutants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which pose long-term risks to both ecosystems and human health. Small streams downstream of urban and industrial areas are often underrepresented in monitoring programmes, despite their potential vulnerability to PFAS contamination. Furthermore, environmental r

In the present study, the novel family genetic risk score (FGRS) method, a reliable quantification of latent genetic risk, was applied to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to examine associations between genetic liability and clinical features of PTSD among 3,097,180 individuals in the Swedish national registries. FGRS was calculated based on lifetime PTSD status for first- through fifth-degree

The integration of Proton Exchange Membrane electrolyzers into hydrogen generation systems offers significant potential for sustainable energy solutions. Integrating hydrogen production with electricity, heat, and renewable energy sources enhances sustainability. PEM electrolyzers effectively address renewable energy intermittent by converting energy into hydrogen, leveraging their ramp rate and l
