A new project based on continuous bi-annual surveys of hectare plots is introduced with the aim to monitor future floristic changes as well as environmental conditions that may be assessed based on species-specific plant traits or ecological indicator values. As a trade-off between the needs for representativeness at the landscape scale and field work efficiency, the hectare plots have been placed

Prostatacancer är den vanligaste cancern bland män i Sverige. Varje år insjuknar ca 10 000. Sjukdomen är starkt åldersberoende och är mycket vanlig bland äldre män. Latent cancer (icke kliniskt signifikant) förekommer ofta. Sjukdomen klassificeras som låg, mellan eller högrisk baserat på Gleason summa (tumörens aggressivitet), stadium och PSA. Val av behandling sker utifrån riskgrupp och ålder. LåAbstract Backgound Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men in Sweden. Radiotherapy, including external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT), is important treatment alternatives to surgery and active surveillance. Precise delivery of the prescribed absorbed dose to the prostate with minimal irradiation of normal tissue, specifically organs at risk, is crucial for op

Ceria-based heterostructure composite (CHC) has become a new stream to develop advanced low-temperature (300–600 °C) solid oxide fuel cells (LTSOFCs) with excellent power outputs at 1000 mW cm−2 level. The state-of-the-art ceria–carbonate or ceria–semiconductor heterostructure composites have made the CHC systems significantly contribute to both fundamental and applied science researches of LTSOFC

By focusing on recent water struggles in rural Turkey against run‐of‐the‐river hydropower plants (SHPs), the research delves into the societal and economic factors that enable or inhibit the emergence of strong mobilizations through a comparison of four localities of the Eastern Black Sea region. The main aim of the cross comparison is to determine whether there is a relationship between the forms

Det här kapitlet fokuserar på relationen mellan arbetsliv och övrigt liv och ett antal digitala strategier som används för att hantera denna. Tidigare forskning har visat att kvinnor i jämförelse med män möter en större utmaning i hanterandet av denna gränsdragning, givet att kvinnor, traditionellt sett, har haft ansvaret för barn samt utfört mer av det obetalda arbetet i hemmet (Hochschild &

Technical universities is an omnibus concept, which may conceal variations. This is the fundamental assumption of this chapter, which deals with three technical universities in three European countries: KTH in Sweden, DTU in Denmark, and EPFL in Switzerland. Based on an analysis of scientific impact profiles and their alignment with government steering, funding and internal organisation and leader

Vår slutsats är att vi finner att det finns viss evidens för att det kan finnas ett orsakssamband mellan Preemraff’s utsläpp och en ökad risk för leukemi, även om man aldrig helt kan utesluta slumpen, så är den ganska osannolik i detta fall. Eftersom det finns en stor osäkerhet för hur mycket bensen som befolkningen redan utsatts för historiskt och det är den kumulativa dosen som kan vara skadlig

This article argues that the entanglements of a growing global demand for construction material and neoliberal resource governance result in an incremental and piecemeal form of dispossession. While mining in Colombia has been broadly researched, little has been said about sand extraction and the challenges small-scale artisanal miners face when trying to formalise their activities. This article s

Combination treatment has proven effective for patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia, exemplifying the importance of therapy targeting multiple components of oncogenic regulation for a successful outcome. However, recent studies have shown that the mutational complexity of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) precludes the translation of molecular targeting into clinical success. Here as a complement

AbstractBackground: Assessing critically ill patients is demanding because their clinical signs are not always easy to interpret. This is particularly true for pediatric patients, due to their small size and robust circulatory compensatorymechanism. Physicians working in pediatric intensive care settings seldom use invasive monitoring, due to possible complications and the risks involved. Instead,

A large part of the literature published in the ‘Global South’ is barely covered by bibliographic databases. Institutional policies increasingly require researchers globally to publish in ‘international’ journals, draining local infrastructures. The standard-setting power of ‘Global South’ scholars is minimised further. My main aim is to render visible the ways in which European academic libraries

Promoting the culinary profile of a nation is a commonly used tool when marketing the food, drink, and culinary tourism sectors of a country. Different versions of gastronationalism (i.e., images of the culinary excellence of a nation) appear in this context. This article explores Swedish gastronationalism. The aim is to nuance and widen the discussion of gastronationalism by offering a historic c

Ecological intensification of agriculture is suggested as a way to reach higher crop yields without increasing inputs that may degrade the environment. Increased insect pollination in crops, such as oilseed rape, Brassica napus, has been suggested to increase yields, but is rarely integrated in crop management. To determine the value of enhanced crop pollination as a means of ecological intensific
