Mångfalden av våtmarker, vattendrag, sjöar och grundvatten samverkar i ett större perspektiv inom ett avrinningsområde. Funktioner som är sammankopplade och beroende av varandra. En holistisk förståelse av våtmarker utgår från att vi tar hänsyn till alla delar. En funktion forskarna i denna rapport benämner hydrodiversitet. Forskarna har undersökt hur stor nyttan är ur ett hydrologiskt och ekonomi
Pollinators have been negatively impacted by agricultural intensification, loss of natural habitats and habitat fragmentation. This has raised concern about the persistence of plant species dependent on insect pollination in semi-natural grasslands where these are remnants of larger grazed areas, now surrounded by intensive agriculture and forests. To better understand landscape composition effect
The mitochondrial protein NAD(P) + transhydrogenase (NNT) has been implicated in the metabolic derangements observed in obesity. Mice with the C57BL/6J genetic background bear a spontaneous mutation in the Nnt gene and are known to exhibit increased susceptibility to diet-induced metabolic disorders. Most of the studies on NNT in the context of diet-induced obesity have compared C57BL/6J mice with
A common and huge challenge in risk and disaster management such as urban flood is the lack of effective communication, especially instant communication from the general public when sudden flooding occurs. There is a strong need to facilitate complementary risk management for authorities to communication with public in addition to mainstream channels. In a recent international project, possibility
To investigate whether coronary artery disease (CAD) burden is associated with plasma levels of the myocardial biomarkers Troponin I (TropI) and NT-proBNP in a large population-based sample using a cross-sectional design. Coronary computerized tomography (CT) angiography was performed in 25,859 subjects without a history of atherosclerotic disease from SCAPIS study (age 50-65, 52% women). TropI an
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent pregnancy complication that seriously endangers maternal and infant health, posing a medical and economic burden worldwide. Several dietary patterns have been recommended for women of childbearing age, demonstrating a positive role in preventing and managing GDM. However, these dietary patterns may not fully take environmental factors into account
This paper investigates the confluence of artificial intelligence (AI), the performing arts, and emotion communication, focusing on how generative AI and social robotics – today’s forefront disruptive technologies – can facilitate an exploration of emotional dynamics across artistic mediums. Drawing on the intermedial and multimodal capacities of opera, this paper presents AI-enhanced opera as a p
Introduction/objectivesInfective endocarditis (IE) caused by non-HACEK Gram-negative bacteria (nHGNB) is uncommon. In the 2023 Duke-ISCVID diagnostic criteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens were added as “typical” pathogens. We examine the consequences of this addition, the risk of IE in bacteremia from nHGNB species and the features of IE caused by nHGNB.Materials and methodsnHGN
Aims/hypothesisObservational studies indicate that type 2 diabetes mellitus and fasting glucose levels are associated with a greater risk for hip fracture, smaller bone area and higher bone mineral density (BMD). However, these findings may be biased by residual confounding and reverse causation. Mendelian randomisation (MR) utilises genetic variants as instruments for exposures in an attempt to a
Challenges the terrestrial focus of European prehistory, emphasizing the significance of seascapes, maritime networks, and coastal societies in shaping prehistoric Europe.For many years now, the main thrust of European prehistory has followed a fundamentally terrestrial plot line. This terrestrial paradigm has undervalued the story of Europe as a peninsula between the Baltic, Mediterranean and Atl
Emotional communication, especially through social media platforms, has become a contemporary populist threat. While this phenomenon has been studied in for example news media and social movements, we know less about its influence on civil society organizations, despite their pluralism being a centerpiece in a vibrant democracy. More specifically, we do not know if social media make civil society
Background. Sun exposure is the main driver of vitamin D synthesis. High latitude, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are all risk factors for vitamin D deficiency. However, the seasonal variation in vitamin D concentrations (25[OH]D) in such populations before and after sun exposure during the summer is unknown. Therefore, we investigated 25[OH]D status before and after two consecutive
Given recent advances in psychometric assessment, there is a need for assessment studies using modern test theory in the field of person-centred care, mainly due to the dominant use of analytical strategies based on classical test theory. The main objective of the present study was thus to examine whether selected items from commonly used instruments of person-centred care were able to differentia
Agricultural intensification and extreme weather events can represent considerable stress to soil microorganisms and their functions by influencing the key players behind the degradation of soil organic matter. A better understanding of the diversity and abundance of microbial functional genes that predict the functional potential of soils, can link the microbial communities to their key ecosystem
A cohesive society is not only characterised by the availability of basic services and facilities, but also promotes economic equality and inclusion, democracy, and social solidarity. Forced displacement due to disasters and conflict constantly disrupt the path to a sustainable and cohesive society. Displaced communities often struggle with a lack of access to livelihood and a lack of financial in
Esophagectomy is a complex and complication laden procedure. Despite centralization, variations in perioparative strategies reflect a paucity of evidence regarding optimal routines. The use of nasogastric (NG) tubes post esophagectomy is typically associated with significant discomfort for the patients. We hypothesize that immediate postoperative removal of the NG tube is non-inferior to current r
