This presentation addresses knowledge as a policy instrument in relations to engage small-scale forest owners in contributing to profound societal transitions, such as the transition to a carbon neutral society. Learning from past transitions, the presentation is based on a historical case: the transition to mechanized forestry in the boreal regions of Sweden during the 1950s and 1960s. This trans

Red hair has been linked to altered sensitivity to pain, analgesics, and hypnotics. This alteration may be impacted by variants in the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene, which are mainly found in redheads. The aim of this narrative review was to explore and present the current state of knowledge on red hair and its plausible associations with altered responsiveness to pain, analgesics, and hypno

The objective of this work was to produce a gluten-containing food matrix (pasta) rich in dietary fiber (DF), polyphenols, and antioxidant activity, through partial substitution with a dry flour from decocted Hibiscus sabdariffa L. calyces. The food matrix was made by mixing semolina (75%) and decocted calyces flour (25%) (S75–HF25), and its proximate composition, polyphenols content, antioxidant

Dark-field imaging has been demonstrated to provide complementary information about the unresolved microstructure of the investigated sample. The usual implementation of a grating interferometer, which can provide access to the dark-field signal, consists of linear gratings limiting the sensitivity to only one direction (perpendicular to the grating lines). Recently, a novel grating design, compos

Myanmar’s unofficial minorities encompass diverse religious and ethnic groups excluded from Myanmar’s list of 135 officially recognised “national races.” They face exclusion due to their citizenship status as well as societal prejudices and entrenched discrimination against minority communities. Yet, debates over politics, federalism, and power-sharing in Myanmar primarily concern the relationship

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is commonly caused from smoking cigarettes that induce biological stress responses. Previously we found disorganized endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in fibroblasts from COPD with different responses to chemical stressors compared to healthy subjects. Here, we aimed to investigate differences in stress-related gene expressions within lung cells from COPD and

There are likely many undiscovered impact structures on Earth, but several challenges prevent their detection, including possible concealment beneath large ice sheets. In recent years, geophysical, geochemical, and microphysical evidence has mounted for a ca. 58 Ma impact structure under the Hiawatha Glacier, northwest Greenland. Here, we report evidence for a second, much older hypervelocity impa

Determination of spatial position of the upper forest line in Khibiny mountains is important to assess its dynamics caused by global environmental changes. Through analysis of high-resolution satellite images and application of the cartographical method we have determined the position of the forest line and its spatial variations, and explained factors influencing its position. This study has resu
