Background: Strategies of habitat selection, defence, and foraging depend critically on population density and the frequency of alternative strategies: they are evolutionary games. Although commonly modelled in studies of animal behaviour, they are less frequently used to provide insights into the behaviour of plants. A 'review' and analysis of how these universal strategies apply to plants should

The phylogenetic relationships among hemosporidian parasites, including the origin of Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent malaria parasite of humans, have been heavily debated for decades. Studies based on multiple-gene sequences have helped settle many of these controversial phylogenetic issues. However, denser taxon sampling and genome-wide analyses are needed to confidently resolve the evo

The transport sector contributes significantly to air pollution and requires suitable alternatives to help mitigate climate change. In the municipalities of Sjöbo, Svalöv and Tomelilla in Skåne, Sweden, Skånetrafiken is currently running a pilot project for on-demand public transport, called SkåneFlex. This study aims to examine the reasoning behind the design of SkåneFlex and to explore whether i

Sibling violence is an often overlooked form of domestic violence, despite research suggesting it is one of the most common types of violence experienced by children. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by family therapists within Swedish social services in identifying and addressing sibling violence, how these challenges affect their professional discretion, and what consequences sibl

Background and Purpose-High-dose heparin has been used extensively to treat patients with progressive ischemic stroke, but the scientific support is poor and the current stroke guidelines advise against its use. We studied how heparin treatment for progressive stroke has been discarded in Sweden. Methods-All 78 hospitals in Sweden that admit acute stroke patients participate in Riks-Stroke, the Sw

This study examines the effect of different organizational aspects on the internal brand communication of an organization in the context of cultural heritages. As cultural tourism is growing and becoming more competitive, this particular tourism branch has to be introduced to internal brand communication to provide a good base for branding. The topic has been studied in a case study. As a case Sof

Background: Adaption of Industry 4.0 is the new trend in developing countries mainly to obtain more efficiency and profitability. But to implement industry 4.0, developing countries are facing many challenges that need to be researched. Moreover, due to COVID- 19 pandemic and restrictions all around the world, have huge effects on the implementation of industry 4.0. Many companies are forced to im

The growth of informal settlements especially in third world countries has become a problem on a global scale. In Asia and Africa, although under different circumstances, the fastest urbanization takes place. To find a good way on how to include the poor city migraters into the growing cities will be crucial in order to have more sustainable, peaceful and just societies. My focus lays on the semi-

Hemliga tvångsmedel är ett fragmenterat och komplext område inom svensk rätt. Lagstiftningen är utspridd i flera olika lagar med en stor mängd korshänvisningar. Dessutom görs en åtskillnad om hemliga tvångsmedel företas inom ramen för en förundersökning eller i preventivt syfte. Anledningen till att lagstiftningen ser ut som den gör torde vara på grund av den fortgående teknik- och samhällsutvecklSecret coercive measures are a fragmented and complex area within Swedish law. The legislation is spread across several different laws with a large amount of cross-references. In addition, a distinction is made if secret coercive measures are carried out during a preliminary investigation or for preventive purposes. The reason why the legislation looks this way is most probably because the ongoing

Med digitaliseringens utveckling har personifierad onlinereklam vuxit i hela världen. Det betyder att företag, genom s. k cookies, samlar in personuppgifter om konsumenten för att i sin tur skapa onlinereklam baserad på konsumentens intressen. Cookies är en liten datafil som sparar ner information om konsumenten och sedan med hjälp av bland annat Online behaviour advertising (OBA) kan datafilen meWith the development of digitalization, personalized online advertising has grown worldwide. This means that companies, through so-called Cookies, collect personal data about the consumer to then create online advertising based on the consumer's interests. Cookies are a small data file that saves information about the consumer and then with the help of Online Behavioural Advertising, the data

The case of Bertil Ströberg has repeatedly been called one of Sweden's most remarkable criminal cases. The indictment against Ströberg from 1983 claims that he committed grave espionage against Sweden on behalf of Poland. Ströberg says that he is innocent of the crime, and fought until his death to get his case reopened in the Supreme Court. That Ströberg would be innocent is explained by the

Global warming is driving environmental change in the Arctic. However, our current understanding of this change varies strongly among different environmental disciplines and is limited by the number and distribution of field sampling locations. Here, we use a quantitative framework based on multivariate statistical modeling to present the current state of sampling across environmental disciplines

Woody pastures represent keystone habitats for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, contributing to increased resource availability, landscape heterogeneity and structural variability. High taxonomic diversity is closely linked to vegetation structure in woody pastures, but examining functional characteristics of species assemblages can shed more light on the ecological mechanisms driving dive

Red Lists are very valuable tools in nature conservation at global, continental and (sub-) national scales. In an attempt to prioritise conservation actions for European butterflies, we compiled a database with species lists and Red Lists of all European countries, including the Macaronesian archipelagos (Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands). In total, we compiled national species lists for 42 coun

Savannas cover a wide climatic gradient across large portions of the Earth’s land surface and are an important component of the terrestrial biosphere. Savannas have been undergoing changes that alter the composition and structure of their vegetation such as the encroachment of woody vegetation and increasing land-use intensity. Monitoring the spatial and temporal dynamics of savanna ecosystem stru

Objective: To compare mortality and costs of health and social care between participants with access to care based on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) in an out-patient care setting with a control group receiving usual care only. The comparison was done 36 months after inclusion. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. Inclusion criteria: community-dwelling, aged ≥75 years, ≥3 hospitalisatio

Source-separating sanitation systems offer the possibility of recycling nutrients present in wastewater as crop fertilisers. Thereby, they can reduce agriculture's impacts on global sources, sinks, and cycles for nitrogen and phosphorous, as well as their associated environmental costs. However, it has been broadly assumed that people would be reluctant to perform the new sanitation behaviours tha

The great hopes in Brussels that a circular bioeconomy will help bridge the growing divide between urban and rural areas and allow the hinterlands to prosper from ‘green growth’ are addressed in this article, which reflects on insights from three Nordic case studies of brown, green and blue biomass use at different levels of technology readiness. A closer examination of the forward, backward, fisc
