The future role of boreal forests in the global carbon cycle is uncertain given the rapid climate change in high latitudes. At the landscape scale, heterogeneity in stand age and land cover, contributions from terrestrial and aquatic fluxes, and harvest export may create complex carbon cycle-climate interactions. However, the integrated response of the net landscape carbon balance (NLCB) to inter-

The Middle Ordovician of the palaeocontinent Baltica provides some of the best preserved and most diverse acritarch assemblages of the lower Palaeozoic. A great number of widely used acritarch genera and species have been described from this area since the 1960s and many of these taxa are considered as biostratigraphically useful for both regional and international correlation. Here, we document t

This study explores socioeconomic disparities in how patients trade off quality against other features when choosing their primary care provider. We use a unique registry dataset linking the choices of individuals who recently moved to a new market, and therefore need to select a new provider, with detailed individual-level measures of socioeconomic status (SES) and provider-level measures of pati

BackgroundDietary shift is necessary for improving public health, mitigating climate change, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Adaption of climate-friendly diets might prevent chronic diseases and reduce mortality; however, consuming diets with a low climate impact have been suggested to increase risk of some micronutrient deficiencies.ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine whether s

BACKGROUND: Many poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent and have long half-lives in the human body. However, there are limited data on the different routes of elimination. Most pharmacokinetic models assume that the urinary route dominates.OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to investigate the relative importance of fecal and urinary elimination for linear perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (L-P

Background: Higher meat intake has been associated with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigated plasma metabolites associated with meat intake and their relation with cardiometabolic biomarkers, subclinical CVD markers, and incident CVD. Methods: Associations between self-reported meat intake and 1272 plasma metabolites were investigated in the SCAP

IMPORTANCE: Breast cancer (BC), the most prevalent cancer among women globally, is a heterogeneous disease, with prognosis differing by estrogen receptor (ER) status. Having a family history of BC increases the risk of BC; however, it is unclear whether family history is associated with the prognosis of overall and ER-specific BC.OBJECTIVE: To assess whether a family history of BC is associated wi

Objectives: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), driven by impaired iron absorption, inflammation of intestinal mucosa and blood loss due to intestinal bleeding. Exogenous iron is indicated to correct iron deficiency, with intravenous iron preferred in patients with malabsorption or intolerance of oral iron, active bleeding, sy

Prefabricated housing is a disruptive innovation struggling to take hold in a traditional complex product system (CoPS). It is quicker to produce and has improved environmental performance compared to traditional housing. CoPS have more dense and complex network connections than commodity industries, making disruptive innovation more difficult. Effective relational capabilities can achieve the coo

Pursuit of the Bioeconomy (BE) and the Circular Economy (CE) is high on the political agendas of many countries. Application of the concepts is intended to ameliorate a number of sustainability challenges, such as raw material constraint concerns and global warming. The concepts of BE and CE are increasingly combined to describe a ‘circular bioeconomy’ (CBE), which emphasises value retention for r
