Cyperus fuscus was thought to be extinct in Sweden until it was rediscovered at Lake Vombsjön, Skåne, after 63 years in 2013. The species also occurred at the lake 2014—2021, but in very variable numbers. The variation depended largely on the water level during late summer. Favourable conditions in form of low levels in late summer have also occurred prior to 2013, though less frequently than in r

Geographical accessibility is fundamental when planning rescue services. At present there are several programs for computing the accessibility of stationary rescue units. This study suggests a method for evaluating geographic accessibility in scenarios containing also non-stationary units. The method supports the planning process by matching the risk of an incident occurring with the rescue units’

In this communication, we add another piece of evidence in favor of a parametric split to do with AGR (Holmberg 2010) between Insular (ISc) and Mainland Scandinavian (MSc); the extended possibility of non-subject fronting in embedded clauses, here referred to as Extended verb second (xV2), available in ISc, unavailable in MSc. By adding this phenomenon to the list of AGR-related differences betwee

Through physiological integration, clonal plants can support ramets in unfavourable patches, exploit heterogeneously distributed resources and distribute resources that are taken up over large areas. Physiological integration generally increases in adverse conditions, but it is not well known which factors determine the evolution of physiological integration. The aim of this study was to investiga

Abstract—Service Level Agreements (SLA) are considered a good practice not only for IT outsourcing but also for IT management within an organisation. In this paper we study the usage of SLAs in municipal IT management. Municipal IT management traditionally involves a large organisation, often with a low IT maturity, but with high requirements on software quality and information security. In this s

Context: Most previous prospective studies suggest that low serum IGF-1 associates with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events whereas other studies suggest that high serum IGF-1 associates with increased risk of CVD events. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that not only low, but also high serum IGF-1 levels associate with increased risk of CVD events in elderly men. Setting and

Between 20 and 30 per cent of all breast cancers show an overexpression of the growth factor HER2 and this implies a worse prognosis. Metastasising breast cancer that overexpress HER2 can effectively be treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin). In order to determine whether this treatment is indicated, HER2 expression must be quantified with immunohistochemical or molecular biological methods. Several
