I den exklusiva ekonomiska zonen har kuststaten suveräna rättigheter att utforska, exploatera, bevara och hantera de naturliga resurserna, levande eller icke-levande. Detta stadgas i de Förenta Nationernas Havsrättskonvention. I den exklusiva ekonomiska zonen har även andra stater vissa friheter, som typiskt sett åtnjuts på de fria haven, där ingen stat har jurisdiktion bortsett från flaggstaten oIn the exclusive economic zone a coastal State enjoys the sovereign rights to explore, exploit, conserve and manage the natural resources, whether living or non-living. That is provided by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Also in the exclusive economic zone other states enjoy freedoms typically known for the high seas, were no state has jurisdiction apart from the flag State of

To a large degree, economic metrics and mechanisms underpin the design of adaptation policies. Such a focus has undesired consequences on the effectiveness of adaptation measures as well as on our ability to prevent incommensurable losses. The article puts forward four strategic changes in adaptation policy that shift the focus away from markets and toward community-level visions of what a liveabl

Micropollutants, such as pharmaceutical residues, are increasingly prevalent in water sources, posing significant risks to human and animal health while contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Despite high-standard wastewater treatment across the EU, the effective removal of micropollutants requires the adoption of more advanced treatment technologies, specifically quaternary treatment technolog

Private-sphere conversations about global environmental change play an important role in environmental communication. However, they receive less attention than information campaigns aimed at raising awareness, educating, or challenging the public. From a psychological perspective, it is increasingly recommended to talk about global environmental change and the emotions it evokes as a way of coping

Hundreds of active learning assignments are reported in the political education literature. However, the adaptability of these assignments to new courses can be limited by different learning outcomes, course themes, or institutional contexts. To assist educators in developing assignments that align with their teaching needs, this study introduces the concept of element design. Element design refer

Background: Intra- and interfractional variations in anatomy can cause unplanned substantial alterations of the dose distribution of the target in proton therapy. Motion management methods might be used in order to minimize anatomical variations. In the proton therapy of lung cancer, a potential motion management technique is the use of the voluntary breath-hold approach. The aim of this study was

When natural areas are converted for human use, resulting changes in the landscape often lead to habitat loss and fragmentation, which can disrupt key ecological interactions such as pollination by animals. In this study, we investigated the independent effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on the structure and composition of plant-vertebrate pollinator interaction networks, focusing on intera

Study design: Longitudinal prospective cohort study. Objectives: To assess the effects of Active Rehabilitation (AR) training programmes for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) on physical independence, self-efficacy and wheelchair skills, and to identify factors that are associated with gains in these outcomes. Setting: Eight consecutive AR programmes in Sweden. Methods: Participants (n = 1

Introduction Despite an increasing amount of research related to gender-affirming treatment (GAT) outcomes among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people (ie, people who experience discomfort or distress in the misalignment between their gender and sex assigned at birth) in recent years, the evidence base for current recommendations is suboptimal. One contributing factor is the heterogeneity in

En fulldome visning om den forskning som pågår utanför Skånes kuster producerad för Forskarfredagen.Fulldome show about the marine research of the coast of southern Sweden.

Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant-pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and temporal variation in floral scent emissions at

In the face of escalating climate risks and impacts, the majority of people will not be able to move, will choose not to move, or may perhaps temporarily move and return to their homes. Understanding immobility in the context of climate change is thus essential to support the development of equitable and effective adaptation strategies and the resilience of people and communities that remain in at

We present the time-resolved luminescence end station developed at the FemtoMAX beamline at the MAX IV Laboratory for the studies of ultrafast energy relaxation and emission properties. The instrument consists of a temperature-controlled vacuum chamber sample environment, in which the UV–visible luminescence is collected from the point of interaction of ultrashort x-ray pulses with luminescent mat

Cation exchange chromatography has been routinely used for the quantification of monoclonal antibody (mAb) charge heterogeneity. A previously developed method utilizing pH gradients for the elution instead of salt gradients was validated according to current guidelines proposed by the ICH. The linearity, stability, accuracy, precision and the lower limit of quantification have been determined, usi

Background. Fast and accurate work-up is crucial to ensure the best possible treatment and prognosis for patients with head and neck cancer. The presence or absence of neck lymph node metastases is important for the prognosis and the choice of treatment. Clinical lymph node (N)-staging is done by palpation and diagnostic imaging of the neck. We investigated the current practice of the initial radi

Differential measurements of charged particle azimuthal anisotropy are presented for lead-lead collisions at root sNN = 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, based on an integrated luminosity of approximately 8 mu b(-1). This anisotropy is characterized via a Fourier expansion of the distribution of charged particles in azimuthal angle relative to the reaction plane, with the coefficients v

Collection and recycling systems for small waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in Europe has been developed based on the 2003 EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE Directive), which was transposed into the national laws of EU Member States. With the growing recognition on the potential for small WEEE to supply mateirals that are critical to the continued grow

Bombus terrestris is one of the most commonly used insect models to investigate visually guided behavior and spatial vision in particular. Two fundamental measures of spatial vision are spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity. In this study, we report the threshold of spatial resolution in B. terrestris and characterize the contrast sensitivity function of the bumblebee visual system for a dua
