Är det möjligt för konsumenter att vara förändringen man vill se i samhället, och därmed bidra till en hållbarare framtid? Med hjälp av en modell baserad på Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) analys undersöks den miljömässiga potentialen av olika livsstilar i EU. Europeiska hushålls fotavtryck för koldioxid, toxicitet, vatten och land beräknas för olika konsumtionsmönster. Modellen som används innIs it possible for the EU consumer to ‘Be the Change’ and set society on a more sustainable pathway by a change of lifestyle? Using a Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) model this research investigates the environmental impact reduction potential of different lifestyles in the EU, for footprints of carbon, toxicity, water, and land. 12 lifestyles are found that offer significant reduction potentia

Process-based biosphere models, which formulate biophysical ecosystem processes, provide a mechanistic framework for understanding terrestrial carbon dynamics. In contrast, data-driven approaches, e.g., upscaling eddy covariance (EC) fluxes using satellite observations and machine learning, offer empirical estimates. These complementary methods often diverge significantly, particularly in estimati

Climate warming is expected to influence the prevalence of vector-transmitted parasites. Understanding the extent to which this is ongoing, or has already occurred, requires empirical data from populations monitored over long periods of time, but these studies are sparse. Further, vector-disease research involving human health is often influenced by disease control efforts that supersede natural t

Accurate, high-resolution global land use and land cover (LULC) mapping is crucial for environmental monitoring, but remains challenging when relying solely on multispectral data. Most existing global LULC mapping studies rely exclusively on multispectral observations, and even those that incorporate synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data often fail to fully exploit the information it provides. SAR p

BACKGROUND: Early HIV diagnosis allows timely interventions to control HIV transmission. We have determined the proportion of recent infections among people living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolling to care in Ethiopia and identified factors associated with recent infection. METHODS: Participants (aged ≥ 15 years) newly enrolled in HIV care were recruited from urban clinics in central Ethiopia (2022-2024)

Herbivory is an important part of most ecosystems, and grazing alone can have a considerable impact on the ecosystems carbon balance with both direct and indirect effects. Removal of above-ground biomass by consumption of herbivores will change the below-ground carbon stock; the reduction of litter that goes into the ground will influence the total ecosystem carbon content. Little is however known

Objectives: This study examines the prevalence of pregnancy in serodiscordant couples and identifies predictors associated with pregnancy in rural Rakai, Uganda. Study design A population-based cross-sectional study that used data from the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS). Setting and participants: We used data from the RCCS survey round 17 (2015-2016), which included 488 women in serodiscordan

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) promotes photoreceptor survival but also suppresses electroretinogram (ERG) responses. This has caused concerns about whether CNTF is detrimental to the function of photoreceptors because it is considered to be a potential treatment for retinal degenerative disorders. Here we report that the suppression of ERG responses is attributable to negative regulation of t

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is connected to the rest of the brain through two main networks: the anterior-temporal (AT) and the posterior-medial (PM) systems. Given the crucial role of the MTL and networks in the physiopathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the present study aimed at (1) investigating whether MTL atrophy propagates specifically within the AT and PM networks, and (2) evaluating

There is an increasing recognition that, although the climate change and biodiversity crises are fundamentally connected, they have been primarily addressed independently and a more integrated global approach is essential to tackle these two global challenges. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are hailed as a pathway for promoting synergies between the climate change and biodiversity agendas. There are

OBJECTIVES: Patient treatment within the Swedish medical service system can claim negligence injuries to the malpractice insurance review board and request financial compensation. The aim of this paper was to analyse the consequences of a negligence claim after arterial surgery between two periods with increasing use of endovascular treatment.METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of the a

Water purification is one of the most essential services provided by wetlands. A lot of concerns regarding wetlands subjected to climate change relate to their susceptibility to hydrological change and the increase in temperature as a result of global warming. A warmer condition may accelerate the rate of decomposition and release of nutrients, which can be exported downstream and cause serious ec

The response of soil microbial activity to climate warming has been predicted to have a large destabilising effect on the carbon cycle. However, the nature of this feedback remains poorly understood, especially in tropical ecosystems and across annual to decadal timescales. We studied the response of bacterial community growth to 2 and 11 years of altered temperature regimes, by translocating soil

BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation is hindered by low donor lung utilization rates. Infectious complications are reasons to decline donor grafts due to fear of post-transplant primary graft dysfunction. Mesenchymal stem cells are a promising therapy currently investigated in treating lung injury. Full-term amniotic fluid-derived lung-specific mesenchymal stem cell treatment may regenerate damaged lu

Background: People with Intellectual disabilities (ID) have more healthcare utilization, especially unplanned inpatient care. One reason could be too early hospital discharges, resulting in readmissions. This is an important aspect of quality of care that has not been thoroughly assessed among people with ID. Aim: To investigate readmission to hospital within 30 days among people with ID compared

To meet climate targets, expanding Populus spp. tree cultivation is proposed as a potential biomass feedstock, especially on agricultural land that does not come into conflict with food production. However, biomass potential assessments typically overlook landowners' perspectives, risking a gap between theoretical potentials and realisation. Here, we test empirical consequences of two hypotheses b

Kort utvärdering av GEOC02 2014 För att utveckla kursen så behövs bl.a. dina synpunkter. Fyll i denna utvärdering och lämna in den tillsammans med tentan. Tack på förhand Leif 1. Kursens ämnesfördelning räknat på föreläsningstimmar är ungefärligen jämt fördelat på ”medicin” och ”geologi”. Ringa in vad du tycker om den fördelningen  Det är bra som det är, en lagom balans  Gärna lite mer medicinsk
