Most research on the agricultural impacts of climate change has focused on the major annual crops, yet perennial cropping systems are less adaptable and thus potentially more susceptible to damage. In regions where perennial crops are economically and culturally important, improved assessments of yield responses to future climate are needed to prioritize adaptation strategies. These impact assessm
We measured carbon (C) stocks and fluxes and vegetation phenology in the world's oldest prairie restoration (∼ 65 years) and an adjacent prairie remnant in southern Wisconsin from 2001-2004 to quantify structural and functional differences. While the species distributions and frequency differed, the number of species measured per 1m2 were not significantly different (15.8 ± 4.4 and 14.1 ± 2.1 for
The wine industry is increasingly recognized as especially vulnerable to climate change due to the climate sensitivity of both winegrape yields and quality, making it an important model system for the agricultural impacts of global changes. However, agricultural production is strongly influenced by the management decisions of growers, including their practices to modify the microclimate experience
Whether internationalization is driven by student mobility or the assumption that English-medium instruction and the presence of international students are the only alternatives to travel, Internationalization of the Curriculum at Home (IoCaH) offers a more inclusive framework. By prioritizing the purposeful reform of the formal curriculum for all, IoCaH ensures that global education benefits the
The chapter explores how the concept of suitable housing changes throughout the life course. It argues that suitable housing for older adults is not only a matter of accessibility and care provision, but also of preserving the home's identity, dignity, and way of life. At the same time, when the home becomes a workplace for healthcare professionals, an ethical dilemma emerges between occupational
This study investigates changes in nighttime sleep duration in relation to cognitive decline and risk of incident dementia. A total of 3057 participants from the Swedish population study ‘Good Aging in Skåne’ (Mage = 68.4) with normal baseline sleep duration (6–8 h) were followed up to 20 years (Myears = 8.39). Self-reported change was defined as shortened or prolonged if participants lost or gain
Functional data analysis is typically performed in two steps: first, functionally representing discrete observations, and then applying functional methods to the so-represented data. The initial choice of a functional representation may have a significant impact on the second phase of the analysis, as shown in recent research, where data-driven spline bases outperformed the predefined rigid choice
Point defects in titanium dioxide (TiO2) are the most relevant reaction sites for the activation of oxygenates. Herein, we probe the activation of CO2 on highly defective TiO2 in situ using synchrotron-based near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy between 0.1 mbar and 2.6 mbar from room temperature to 700 K. Multiple carbon surface intermediates form upon CO2 activation. The presenc
Aim: This study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and active cancer in a real-world setting in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK and Germany. Materials & methods: This observational cohort study used datasets from Sweden, Norway, Finland (National Patient and P
This chapter provides an overview of the development of nursing education in Sweden and its leadership from the earliest days when matrons enforced strict discipline through the transition to the current multi-faceted academic leadership. Nursing education in Sweden has developed in close association with concurrent societal developments. Society’s changing demands led to a series of reforms and d
Marine carbonate oolites are a key feature of the Hirnantian Stage (445.2–443.8 Ma) and their formation may be the combined result of latest Ordovician glacial eustasy and the associated mass extinction event. In this paper, we provide the first highly time-resolved carbon isotope data (δ13Ccarb) from the Keel Oolite in the Arbuckle Mountains of southern Oklahoma, aiming to clarify its temporal re
There are many discussions promoting the use of GenAI tools to create summaries of research papers and texts both for students as well as academics. These are often mainly focusing on potential benefits such as saving time and effort, including the advice and how-to instructions. Their expected value however is dependent on in how factually reliable and trustworthy generated summaries are, which i
DN DEBATT.En miljardärsskatt har blivit aktuell i valdebatten. Men en sådan ordning har Sverige redan prövat. Det gick sådär. Börsen skickades in i en istid och svenska företag hamnade i utländska händer. Resultatet blev lägre välstånd och tillväxt. Att göra om samma misstag igen vore dåraktigt, skriver nationalekonomerna Fredrik N G Andersson och Lars Jonung.
Marine resources are attracting significant attention from the cosmetics sector as a source of active ingredients. The oligo-elements like iron, copper and zinc, as well as proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates and vitamins A, B and C, are abundant in both micro-and macro-algae. These active components provide a range of benefits including hydration, firmness, shine, protection and slimming effects
LepEU, the European Lepidopteran Population Genomics Consortium, was launched in 2023 to coordinate continental-scale collections and generate population-level genomic data for butterflies and moths across Europe. Its whole-genome resequencing strategy takes advantage of the growing availability of reference genomes for Lepidoptera. LepEU supports scalable, standardized sampling and sequencing to
Early experiences with robotic-assisted esophagectomy showed disappointing anastomotic outcomes when techniques were directly translated from open or thoracoscopic surgery. Among intrathoracic anastomotic options in robot-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (RAMIE-IL), emerging data suggest lower complication rates with the linear stapled side-to-side technique. This method was adopted at our instit
