During the last ice age, the Northern Hemisphere experienced a series of abrupt millennial-scale climatic changes linked to variations in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and sea-ice extent. However, our understanding of their impacts on decadal-scale climate variability in central Europe has been limited by the lack of high-resolution continental archives. Here, we

Den här avhandlingen har som syfte att bidra till att täcka kunskapsluckor om hur tilläggssvårigheter vid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) hos barn förändras och om dessa har ett samband med hur ADHD-problematiken utvecklas under 3 års tid. ADHD är en utvecklingsrelaterad kognitiv funktionsnedsättning som debuterar hos barn och unga, 12 år eller yngre, genom höga nivåer av ouppmärksClarification on how cognitive, executive and emotional functioning contribute to symptom reduction or improved function in childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is needed to find additional treatment methods. The clinical utility of continuous performance test (CPT) (Conners’ CPT-II, QbTest) to complement rating scales in diagnostic assessments and treatment evaluations (QbTes

Amino acid starvation is sensed by Escherichia coli RelA and Bacillus subtilis Rel through monitoring the aminoacylation status of ribosomal A-site tRNA. These enzymes are positively regulated by their product-the alarmone nucleotide (p)ppGpp-through an unknown mechanism. The (p)ppGpp-synthetic activity of Rel/RelA is controlled via auto-inhibition by the hydrolase/pseudo-hydrolase (HD/pseudo-HD)

Ziel der Arbeit ist es, eine Analyse sozio-technischer Energieszenarien durchzuführen, um herauszufi nden, inwieweit soziologische Dimensionen beziehungsweise Konzepte in diesem enthalten sind und welche dabei am häufi gsten aufgegriff en werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeitist eine qualitati ve Inhaltsanalyse dieser Energieszenarien nach Mayring durchgeführt worden.Dabei bestand der theoreti sche H

Our society is built upon energy – we need energy for its functioning and development.However, given our current dependence on non-renewable energy sources, a more sustainableuse needs to be achieved. A new tool of science and sustainability communication isvisualization to increase public awareness and understanding of energy issues.The aim of the study was to examine how energy data can be visua

This paper introduces the special issue on “Generating Sustainability-Supporting Knowledge on Social Networks in the Governance and Management of Social–Ecological Systems.” Understanding the interactions of actors and institutions is important for successful governance of human–nature relations. Social network analysis is able to capture and analyze these governance and management interactions, a

Stakeholder groups engage in ecosystem services coproduction as both coproducers and beneficiaries. Stakeholder group perceptions of their own and each other’s roles in ecosystem services coproduction therefore influence how ecosystem services are provided in a given landscape. However, only a few studies have investigated self-perceived and attributed stakeholder group roles in this context. The

Background: Frontline nurses have been directly exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and come in close contact with patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses execute tasks related to disease control and face multiple psychosocial challenges in their frontline work, potentially affecting their mental well-being and ability to satisfyingly perform their tasks.Objectives: To explore the psychosocial e

While much has been written about how startups work to develop their product, this paper focuses instead on how to manage the startup team. Based on a systematic review of current research, I present actionable insights about startup team characteristics; who they are, how they work, and how they stay together. I explain how these characteristics imply both opportunities and threats for the viabil

Background In the early 1980s, a preservative containing a mixture of methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) and methylisothiazolinone (MI) in a ratio of 3:1 was introduced. This mixture (mix) has been patch tested at 100 ppm (0.01%) worldwide and at 200 ppm (0.02%) in Sweden since 1986 and also in the European baseline series since 2014. Objective A new aqueous mix of MCI 0.015% and MI 0.2% was compar
