Global warming may lead to carbon transfers from soils to the atmosphere, yet this positive feedback to the climate system remains highly uncertain, especially in subsoils . Using natural geothermal soil warming gradients of up to +6.4C in subarctic grasslands , we show that soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks decline strongly and linearly with warming (-2.8tha-1C-1). Comparison of SOC stock changes
Does perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanate (PFOA) exposure disrupt the menstrual cyclicity? The female reproductive system may be sensitive to PFOA exposure, with longer menstrual cycle length at higher exposure. PFOS and PFOA are persistent man-made chemicals. Experimental animal studies suggest they are reproductive toxicants but epidemiological findings are inconsistent. A cros
It has been proposed that the developmentally supportive care of very-low-birthweight (VLBW) infants provided by the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) can improve the infants' opportunities for rest and sleep. The aim of the present study was to determine whether quiet sleep (QS) in VLBW infants is affected by NIDCAP care. Twenty-two infants with a gestation
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the loss of well-being, in terms of lift-years, overall and in patients randomized to metoprolol versus carvedilol in the Carvcdilol Or Metoprolol European Trial (COMET). BACKGROUND The ultimate objectives of treating patients with heart failure are to relieve suffering and prolong life. Although the effect of treatment on mortality is usually desc
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att pröva om värdering av kvalitet i kollektivtrafik med Stated Preferences-metoden kan göras i brevenkäter skickades olika enkäter ut till i förväg kontaktade bussresenärer. Studien visar att metoden kan användas i brev och att typen med parvisa val i så fall bör användas. En annan studie visar att erfarenheten av det man värderar har stor betydelse för värderingen
Vid brott med kopplingar till lokala kriminella nätverk är svårigheten att få individer att vittna påtaglig. Åtskilliga individer väljer att förhålla sig passiva och tysta mot rättsväsendet, vilket leder till få uppklarade brott. Vad gäller individer inom nätverken beror tystnaden primärt på faktorer som enskilt gynnande av brottslighet samt inställningen mot rättsväsendet. Hos individer som inte When criminal groups based in socially disadvantaged areas commit crime, there is shown a noticeable difficulty in obtaining witnesses, which leads to few solved cases. Reasons why individuals active in the networks choose to remain silent towards the judicial system depend on factors such as their individual benefits of crime in conjunction with their approach towards the legal system. What conce
Today, most software systems are event-driven, meaning that code execution is triggered by events handled dynamically. A typical example is a graphical user interface, where a button click initiates a specific action. In contrast, classic automation systems rely on programmable logic controllers, which execute code periodically at fixed intervals. The purpose of this study is to compare periodic a
Syftet med arbetet har varit att, med hjälp av bayesiansk sannolikhetsteori som bevisvärderingsmetod, kritiskt analysera svenska människohandelsmål. Detta har gjorts för att utröna om det förekommer tecken på bristande bevisvärdering från domstolarna som bidrar till att rekvisit ej anses styrkta i dessa mål där någon blir friad, och i utsträckning bidragit till bevisproblematik kring brottet. SyftThe purpose of this paper has been to critically analyze Swedish court cases of human trafficking where the accused has been acquitted of such a criminal act. The critical analysis has been executed with the aid of Bayesian probability theory as an evidence evaluation method. This has been done to determine whether there are signs of flawed evidence evaluation from the court itself which has contr
Våld i nära relationer har länge varit ett stort samhällsproblem. Problematiken utgörs framförallt av systematiskt våld från en närstående, ibland även med dödlig utgång. Våldet förekommer ofta i hemmet och forskning har visat att kvinnor drabbas i större utsträckningen av grövre våld i jämförelse med män. Vid närmare samtal om ämnet har man funnit ytterligare en särskilt utsatt grupp som ofta falDomestic violence has long been a major societal issue. Domestic violence usually consists of systematic violence from a close relative, sometimes even with a fatal outcome. Research has shown that women are affected to a greater extent by more serious violence in comparison to men. During closer discussions on the subject another particularly vulnerable group has been found to often fall between
This thesis is a critical discourse analysis of the development of job advertisements regarding gender coding. The time span is between 2007 and 2016/2017 and the material for the analysis is 40 advertisments towards medical secretaries and carpenters. This selection has been made because these professions are the percentage most female- and male-intesive occupations in Sweden. The study is based
I Sverige vänds omkring 50.000 barns liv upp och ner varje år, när deras föräldrar väljer att gå skilda vägar. Det som en gång varit barnets trygghet och hela värld, rivs upp och känns istället skrämmande och otryggt. Föräldrarnas viljor och känslor styr processen, vilket gör att barnen allt som ofta hamnar i kläm. I en majoritet av fallen löser föräldrarna barnets boende, vårdnad och umgänge gemeIn Sweden the lives of about 50.000 children are turned upside down every year, just because their parents have choosen to separate. What has once been the childs secure and safe world, are now ripped apart and frightening instead. The wills of the parents and their emotions, can greatly impact the decisions of the jucidial process which can in turn have a catasprohic backlash on the child. In the
Aim: This historical prospective cohort study of the adult population of Sweden is based on data from a national registry: the primary aim was to evaluate the long-term survival of teeth after periradicular surgery. A secondary aim was to identify factors predictive of extraction within 10 years of registration of periradicular surgery. Methodology: The cohort consisted of all individuals who had
The purpose of this project was to investigate how the interior of a future autonomous truck can be designed with a user friendly focus. The solution should be suitable for a future scenario in 2030 where a Volvo FH with automation level 4 on the SAE scale will drive the route from Gothenburg to Umeå. This means that the truck is fully autonomous but there has to be a driver in the cab that can dr
BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing is critical for early linkage to treatment and care services. However, there is a substantial gap in HIV testing, particularly in resource limited settings due to low accessibility of HIV testing sites, inconvenient testing hours, and concerns about loss of confidentiality. Thus, adopting new strategies such as HIV self-testing (HIVST) could o

Background Obesity is linked to cardiovascular diseases and increasingly common in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) since the introduction of intensified insulin therapy. Our main aim was to explore associations between obesity and depression, anxiety, alexithymia and self-image measures and to control for lifestyle variables in a sample of persons with T1DM. Secondary aims were to explore associat
The hippocampal formation has long been suggested to underlie both memory formation and spatial navigation. We discuss how neural mechanisms identified in spatial navigation research operate across information domains to support a wide spectrum of cognitive functions. In our framework, place and grid cell population codes provide a representational format to map variable dimensions of cognitive sp
