Global agri-food systems are in urgent need of a sustainability transformation guided by best practices of agroecology. The study used the Tool for Agroecological Performance Evaluation (TAPE) to assess the performance of seven market gardens in southern Sweden in comparison to the Swedish horticultural sector. The findings indicate that all participating market gardens could be considered agroeco

Syfte Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka om och i så fall hur sångintervention i klassrummet ger effekter på den språkliga förmågan, närmare bestämt på förståelse och produktion av berättelser, hos elever i årskurs 2. Metod Deltagare i studien var 66 elever i årskurs 2 från två olika skolor, fördelade på två grupper A och B. Sångintervention gavs fyra gånger i veckan i 5 veckor och data samlades iPurpose The aim of this paper was to investigate if and how song intervention in the classroom has an effect on narrative comprehension and production in Primary school students (2nd grade). Method Sixty-six 2nd grade students from two different schools, divided into two groups, A and B, participated. Song intervention was carried out four times a week for five weeks. Data was collected at three t

We investigate how the anchoring effect—a well-established cognitive bias—influences the full distribution of subjective beliefs. While prior research extensively examines the impact of anchoring and other biases on point estimates, their effect on higher moments of the distribution remains unexplored. Through a pre-registered online experiment (N=732), we find that anchoring impacts the mean, var

The North-Western Sahara Aquifer System (NWSAS) shared by Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria is one of North Africa’s biggest nonrenewable groundwater storage systems. The management of its resources in a sustainable way will be central to regional stability, food security, and climate resilience. This book chapter discusses how transboundary cooperation along the NWSAS has evolved through facilitation b

These days, talk of quantum technologies and the coming ‘quantum revolution’ or ‘quantum leap’ is hard to miss. There is a broad agreement that quantum technologies have a high probability of becoming the next disruptive technological development, and the way they should be regulated and the timing of such intervention are issues that are attracting increasing attention. An analysis of how these q

While the 8.2 ka abrupt cooling event is increasingly recognised as a major Holocene climatic anomaly, archaeological discussions of its cultural consequences have often been framed in terms of societal distress, including the collapse and abandonment of settlements. However, prehistoric communities must have responded in more diverse ways. This paper investigates the site-based socio-ecological a

The Kammu people are mainly rice farmers and live on mountain slopes in northern Laos. The chapter studies the expressives of the Yùan Kammu dialect from the combined perspectives of linguistics and ethnomusicology. Kammu expressives are derived from monosyllabic roots, which each carry the general meaning of those expressives that are derived from that root. The morphological processes involved i

Fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEVs) are a promising solution for decarbonizing heavy-duty transport by combining hydrogen fuel cells with battery storage to deliver long range, fast refuelling, and high payload capacity. However, many existing simulation models rely on outdated fuel cell parameters, limiting their ability to reflect recent technological improvements and accurately predict

This article suggests a model for lexical verb semantics that unifies Halliday’s model for transitivity with Langacker’s concept of base and profile and also with a model for situation type (cf. Smith 1997). It is claimed that verbs adhere to one of four macro domains: the material, the social, the mental or the relational domain. Within these domains there are numerous types of verbs, such as mot

Trust is an important aspect of learning. However, there is little published research on how students perceive its value. In this article, we report on engineering students’ perceptions of the role of trust in their learning and their experiences of what teachers do in their courses that builds trust. Nine students participated in semi-structured interviews and 477 student replies to a survey sent

The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of other worlds. Here, we review the status of the m

CONTEXT: As part of a broader institutional initiative, the serious illness care program was implemented in a multi-site academic primary care practice. After 2 years, a minority was observed to be documenting serious illness conversations routinely.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to learn about the motivations and actions of clinicians who routinely conducted and documented serious illness conversations.MET

Research on business models for sustainability (BMfS) has primarily focused on the conceptual aspects and sustainability potential of BMfS rather than their actual impact. There is a need to understand whether BMfS have less environmental impact on society than conventional business models and in what context and conditions they can reduce impact. This research conducted a systematic literature re

Background: Managing acute abdominal pain in the large and growing population of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)–operated patients poses a challenge to general surgeons, because of diagnostic limitations and the risk of internal herniation. Objective: To investigate the diagnoses, management, and outcome of RYGB patients admitted for acute abdominal pain. Setting: University Hospital, Sweden. Meth

‘Flight shame’ describes an unease about the climate implications of air travel, and bears evidence of a change in social norms that have so far associated flying with social status. This paper discusses whether Fridays for Future demonstrations and ensuing flight shame have influenced social norms regarding the desirability of air travel, and whether this is measurable in a decline in air travel,

A critical comparison of two mid 19th century versions of the story of As’ad al-Shidyâq, a young Maronite who became the first Protestant sympathiser in Lebanon; the first version written by an American missionary (Isaac Bird), the second by a Lebanese intellectual (Butrus al-Bustani) who became a Protestant. The comparison reveals differences between expatriate and indigenous perceptions of Prote
