The aim of Task 4.1 is to derive emission factors based on bottom-up land surface modelling, using two process-based dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs), LPJ-GUESS and ORCHIDEE. In recent years, emission factors have been proposed as a useful methodology for estimating greenhouse gas emissions under different land-management strategies. Whilst emission factors are straightforward to implement

Access to outdoor leisure activities is central to supporting active and healthy ageing. To address the lack of research on services supporting continued engagement, this study examines how public, voluntary and private sectors provide outdoor recreation services for older adults. This study uses a qualitative research design to draw on interviews, a workshop, and field observations conducted in a

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the relationship between dietary intake and disease outcomes in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA), focusing on inflammation and disease activity, while also evaluating other health outcomes, and to compare dietary intake between patients and controls. Method: In a cross-sectional analysis, we studied 295 patients with r-axSpA (modif

De svenska specialistpsykiatrin arbetar just nu för att gå från ett traditionellt biomedicinskt synsätt till ett mer återhämtningsinriktat perspektiv. Återhämtningsinriktade insatser handlar om att ge stöd som hjälper personer att hitta mening i sina liv och i sina sammanhang, oavsett vilka svårigheter de har. Det innebär ett helhetsperspektiv där målet är personlig återhämtning genom egenmakt och

AIM: We aimed to investigate if the incidence of type 1 diabetes increased in children during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and whether SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were more frequently present at diagnosis compared with healthy individuals. We also examined whether clinical characteristics and coexisting autoimmunity differed between SARS-CoV-2 antibody positive and negative individuals.METHODS: This retrospe

This study aimed to explore how PEth and other commonly used alcohol biomarkers (CDT, AST, ALT, and GGT) respond to regular consumption of what has been generally considered to correspond to low to moderate amounts of alcohol over a 2-week period. A total of 21 voluntary participants (aged 31–69 years) took part in a 2-week drinking study. Group 1 (n = 11) consumed one glass of wine daily (16 g of

Primary prevention of type 1 diabetes (T1D) requires intervention in genetically at-risk infants. The Global Platform for the Prevention of Autoimmune Diabetes (GPPAD) has established a screening program, GPPAD-02, that identifies infants with a genetic high risk of T1D, enrolls these into primary prevention trials, and follows the children for beta-cell autoantibodies and diabetes. Genetic testin

Study design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal. Objectives: To (i) describe sense of coherence (SOC) and changes over six years in older adults aging with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI) and (ii) investigate how changes in SOC are associated with injury characteristics and changes in sociodemographics and secondary health conditions (SHCs; bowel-related and bladder-related problems, pain and sp

Nitrogen (N) fixation in the feather moss-cyanobacteria association represents a major N source in boreal forests which experience low levels of N deposition; however, little is known about the effects of anthropogenic N inputs on the rate of fixation of atmospheric N-2 in mosses and the succeeding effects on soil nutrient concentrations and microbial community composition. We collected soil sampl

Background: Within Europe many guidelines exist regarding the genetic testing of minors. Predictive and presymptomatic genetic testing of minors is recommended for disorders for which medical intervention/preventive measures exist, and for which early detection improves future medical health. Aim: This study, which is part of the larger 5th EU-framework "genetic education'' (GenEd) study, aimed to

Impaired autonomic control of postural homeostasis results in orthostatic intolerance. However, the role of neurohormones in orthostatic intolerance has not been explained.

Cancer incidence is increasing and it is the number one cause of death worldwide. Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease and there is a great need for new early diagnostic, prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers in order to improve patient outcomes. The RNA-binding motif protein 3, RBM3, is an emerging candidate biomarker of favourable prognosis and treatment response in several types of
