The associations between floristic and palynological richness and landscape structure were studied based on modern pollen-vegetation data from a patchy cultural landscape in southern Estonia (northern temperate vegetation zone). Nine study sites (small lakes and their surrounding vegetation) represent land cover gradient from closed forest to semi-open vegetation. Floristic richness (number of spe
Nowadays, most ship acquisition transactions are performed through the finance instruments, such as loan agreements. Whereas parties to this ship finance contracts, from one side, usually, is ship owner as borrower, and, from other side might be, financial institution, as lender – such as banks, funds or private companies. Thus, whatever principal amount of the loan would be finally agreed the len
Background In a competitive market place a competing company has to focus on continuous improvements and effectiveness, something that can be achieved by investing in product resources which then generates a need of capital. The need of capital can be financed through direct financing or external financing such as leasing where the leasing company offers the customer capital support. Since 1999, A
Popular Abstract in Swedish Resultaten i denna avhandling visar att kvällsmåltider baserade på hela kärnor av korn (kokta kornkärnor, kornkärnbröd), har positiva effekter på blodsocker- och aptitregleringen vid den följande frukostmåltiden, jämfört med en kvällsmåltid av vitt bröd. Även ett sent kvällsmål med bruna bönor hade liknande effekter. Vidare visade resultaten att en kvällsmåltid med brunThe role of dietary fibre (DF) in disease prevention has been extensively investigated and prospective studies observed that increased DF intake decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), reduced the risk of weight gain as well as the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Also a diet characterized by low glycaemic index (GI) has been shown to reduce the risk of T2D and CVD. More recently, eviden
Throughout the world, harmful traditions to women are carried out within the family, e.g., female genital mutilation, forced marriage and dowry murder. Honour killing practice is considered to be the extreme form thereof for its violent consequences on females' right to life. The practice refers to crimes directed toward women on the ground of gender&semic crimes 'whereby the family ki
Objective: To investigate fatigue at baseline and 3.5 years later and its association with balance and gait over time.Background: In Parkinson’s disease (PD), fatigue is considered one of the most common and disabling nonmotor symptoms that may persist or even worsen over time. Fatigue in generally has been described as a significantly diminished energy level or an increased perception of effort d
Background: People with substance use disorders (SUD) including patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST) are subject to stigma, and have generally poor health and barriers towards seeking healthcare. Experience of stigma might negatively affect healthcare seeking, but this topic is sparsely investigated. The aim of this study was to explore OST patients’ past and present experiences of subs
Questions: How do mat thickness, physical structure and allelopathic properties of terricolous mat-forming lichens affect recruitment of vascular plants in dwarf-shrub and lichen heath vegetation?. Location: The mountains of Dovrefjell, central Norway. Methods: In autumn, seeds of ten vascular plant species were collected and sown in a common garden experiment with mats of six lichen species and b
Background: At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled. For newborns to have a successful transition, this fluid must be replaced by air to enable effective breathing. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Giving prolonged (sustained) inflations at the start of PPV may help clear lung fluid and establish gas volu
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore if the application of a framework building on organisational learning focusing on organisational processes can increase our understanding of how hybrid organisation develops over time and why they fail to live up to external expectations.Design/methodology/approachThe aim of this study is descriptive and explorative. It is accordingly designed as a qu
Large plants are often more conspicuous and more attractive for associated animals than small plants, e.g. due to their wider range of resources. Therefore, plant size can positively affect species richness of associated animals, as shown for single groups of herbivores, but studies usually consider intraspecific size differences of plants in unstandardised environments. As comprehensive tests of
Den svenska sexualbrottslagstiftningen har genomgått stora förändringar över åren. Våldtäktsbestämmelsen har på olika sätt utvidgats och tvångskravet har sänkts med tiden. Syftet har delvis varit att förstärka och tydliggöra rätten till sexuellt självbestämmande och sexuell integritet. Detta är två begrepp som har varit återkommande i sexualbrottslagstiftningen under senare år. Trots detta har tvåThe Swedish legislation on sexual offences has been subject to major changes over the years. The provision of rape has in various ways been extended and the coercion requirement has been reduced over time. The purpose of the changes has partly been to strengthen and clarify the sexual integrity and self-determination – two concepts that have been recurring in the legislation on sexual offences in
The unnecessary and disproportionate use of pre-trial detention is a global issue that affects developed and developing countries alike. According to World Prison Brief, Cambodia has ranked 12th (among 217 countries) making it become a country with one of the highest percentages of pre-trial detainees: 71.8 percent to be exact. The excessive and unnecessary use of pre-trial detention in the Kingdo
Background: Access to safe and reliable water and sanitation remains a critical public health and development challenge, with rural and low-income communities being disproportionately affected by inadequate services and heightened exposure to waterborne diseases. Despite global efforts and infrastructure-based progress indicators, significant disparities persist, and these often overlook users’ pe
Background: In the office furniture industry, providing high customer service is one of the most important qualities of the supplier. To provide high customer service, efficient logistics solutions are required to reduce lead time, increase accuracy of orders and give accurate estimates of arrival time. When it comes to Swedish export to Australia, the vast distance between the factory and
In 2022, the Yangtze River Basin in China experienced an unprecedented extreme drought, induced by high temperatures and precipitation deficits. Accurate monitoring of such extreme drought events is vitally significant for disaster mitigation under global warming. This study evaluated the effectiveness of two satellite-based precipitation products: the latest Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals
Pesticide exposure can be harmful to insect pollinators and the ecosystem services they provide. As many pesticide guidelines warn against applying such products when pollinators are active, it is important to evaluate how pollinator activity changes with time of day to determine the most appropriate time to spray.We walked transects from sunrise to sunset in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) field
A recurrent concern in nature conservation is the potential competition for forage plants between wild bees and managed honey bees. Specifically, that the highly sophisticated system of recruitment and large perennial colonies of honey bees quickly exhaust forage resources leading to the local extirpation of wild bees. However, different species of bees show different preferences for forage plants
Background: Brief Admission by self-referral is a preventive intervention here intended for individuals who recurrently self-harm and have a history of contact with emergency psychiatric services. Individuals with access to Brief Admission are empowered to self-admit to inpatient care for up to three days per stay and are encouraged to do so before experiencing crisis. Brief Admission was implemen
