Världens skogar lagrar stora mängder kol både som levande biomassa och i marken. Skogarnas förmåga att motverka klimatförändring genom att fungera som kolsänkor har erkänts inom global klimatpolitik, till exempel Parisavtalet från 2015 vilket uppmanar länder att minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser. Sverige är ett av flera länder med ambitiösa målsättningar och har lovat att inte ha några nettoutslGlobal forests store large amounts of carbon both in living biomass and in the soil. The ability of forests to counteract climate change by acting as carbon sinks have been recognized in global climate politics, such as the 2015 Paris agreement which calls for national commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sweden is one of many countries who have pledged ambitious climate goals, promisin

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients deferred from coronary revascularization on the basis of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) or fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements in stable angina pectoris (SAP) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Background: Assessment of coronary stenosis severity with pressure guidewires is recommended to determine

IMPORTANCE Heart failure (HF) aggregates in families, but the heritability of HF has not been determined. Discerning the genetic and environmental contributions to HF risk is important to further helping to identify individuals at risk. Adoption studies may establish the genetic contribution to HF. OBJECTIVE This nationwide adoption study aimed to determine the heritability of HF. DESIGN, SETTING,

Tourmalines from the late-Variscan Arbus pluton (SW Sardinia) and its metamorphic aureole were structurally and chemically characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron and nuclear microprobe analysis, Mössbauer, infrared and optical absorption spectroscopy, to elucidate their origin and relationships with the magmatic evolution during the pluton cooling stages. The Arbus pluton repr

The structural heterogeneity of tumor tissue can be probed by diffusion MRI (dMRI) in terms of the variance of apparent diffusivities within a voxel. However, the link between the diffusional variance and the tissue heterogeneity is not well-established. To investigate this link we test the hypothesis that diffusional variance, caused by microscopic anisotropy and isotropic heterogeneity, is assoc

The secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) re-establishes homeostasis at sites of infection by virtue of its ability to exert antimicrobial activity, to suppress LPS-induced cellular immune responses, and to reduce tissue damage through inhibition of serine proteases released by polymorphonuclear neutrophil granulocytes (PMNs). Microarray analysis of bone marrow (BM) populations highly enri

Objective: We used dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure calcaneal bone mineral density (BMD) and estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis in a population with distal forearm fracture and a normative cohort. Methods: Patients 20 to 80 years of age with distal forearm fracture treated at one emergency hospital during two consecutive years were invited to calcaneal BMD measurement; 270 women (81

Literature on socio-technical transitions has primarily emphasized the co-determination of institutions and technologies. In this paper, we want to focus on how actors play a mediating role between these two pillars of a socio-technical system. By introducing the theoretical concept of institutional work, we contribute to the conceptualization and empirical assessment of agency processes in socio-

A reliable assessment of the optical properties of atmospheric black carbon is of crucial importance for an accurate estimation of radiative forcing. In this study we investigated the spatio-temporal variability of the mass absorption cross-section (MAC) of atmospheric black carbon, defined as light absorption coefficient (σap) divided by elemental carbon mass concentration (mEC). σap and mEC have

It is suggested that cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with regulated growth and development would be able to produce higher yields under water-limited conditions, which is crucial in future food production. Water use efficiency (WUE) is worthy of exploration in this regard. In this study, the effects of nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 40 and 80 kg Nha(-1)) and a plant growth retardant (Chl

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the identity of the Chilean environmental movement in relation to the Chilean nation-state. The theme is discussed through theories of social constructivism, identity and social movements. Of central focus is to discuss the role of the environmental movement in constructing environmental policy and in relation to national identity. The thesis draws on empir

The aim of this thesis is to build an understanding of the current instruments and mechanisms governing global supply chains and to identify the governance gaps in the protection of labour rights. In order to fully understand the implications of globalization on labour law, the thesis undertakes a theoretical framework drawing on transnational labour law perspectives and a conceptual analysis of g

Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea and Curonian Lagoon, mainly caused by agriculture, is creating a major burden on Lithuania. While organic agriculture reduces eutrophication, the conversion of lands under conventional agriculture to organic has been relatively slow. Based on a systematic literature review, I identified 8 case studies and analysed that overall nitrogen and phosphorous leaching from

Accurate global estimates of accumulation-mode particle number concentrations (N100) are essential for understanding aerosol–cloud interactions and their climate effects and for improving Earth system models. However, traditional methods relying on sparse in situ measurements lack comprehensive coverage, and indirect satellite retrievals have limited sensitivity in the relevant size range. To over

BACKGROUND: The cross-sectional association between cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO 2) and heart failure (HF) has been previously studied, but the prognostic significance of SctO 2 in HF remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the role of SctO 2 as a risk factor for all-cause mortality and rehospitalisation, as well as to explore the cross-sectional association between physical ac

The Unified Glare Rating (UGR) method defined by the International Commission on Illumination is practically the only one used for evaluation of discomfort glare in the lighting design process. However, it is unclear if this method aligns with subjective discomfort glare measures using subjective glare indexes (SGIs). We compared calculated UGR values with commonly used subjective discomfort glare
