Drought legacies on soil respiration and microbial community in a Mediterranean forest soil under different soil moisture and carbon inputs

Soil moisture can strongly affect the fate of soil organic carbon (C) during microbial decomposition, but the characterisation and prediction of the effects remain challenging, especially the long-term effects of drought history and its interaction with current levels of soil moisture. We investigated the legacy effects of drought on soil activity and microbial community composition and its intera

Phosphorus-arsenic interaction in the ‘soil-plant-microbe’ system and its influence on arsenic pollution

Elevated arsenic (As) in soil is of public concern due to the carcinogenicity. Phosphorus (P) strongly influences the adsorption, absorption, transport, and transformation of As in the soil and in organisms due to the similarity of the chemical properties of P and As. In soil, P, particularly inorganic P, can release soil-retained As (mostly arsenate) by competing for adsorption sites. In plant an

“The Hultqvist doctrine”–Swedish security and defence policy after the Russian annexation of Crimea

This article analyses how Sweden has adapted to the worsened security situation in its vicinity following Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and war in Eastern Ukraine. The paper builds on security policy research focused on neoclassic realism and small state strategies in order to explore how the, broadly unknown, security policy from 2009 has been implemented in practice since 2014, through w

Genetic regulation of spermine oxidase activity and cancer risk : a Mendelian randomization study

Spermine oxidase (SMOX) catalyzes the oxidation of spermine to spermidine. Observational studies have reported SMOX as a source of reactive oxygen species associated with cancer, implying that inhibition of SMOX could be a target for chemoprevention. Here we test causality of SMOX levels with cancer risk using a Mendelian randomization analysis. We performed a GWAS of spermidine/spermine ratio to

Evidence for genetic integration of mating behavior and morphology in a behaviorally plastic alternative reproductive tactic

Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) often exhibit more than one mating behavior depending on social context (i.e., behavioral plasticity). It has been hypothesized that by constraining an ART from reaching optimal morphological states, intralocus tactical conflict could promote the maintenance of behavioral plasticity in ARTs, rather than the use of a fixed mating behavior to match an optimal

Coordination at the 10-year mark of the JHLSCM–from global response to local preparedness

Purpose: At the inception of the Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM), logistics coordination was identified as important, both in practice and research, but few studies on the topic had been published. Ten years later, many, if not most, papers in the journal mention the topic. So the picture has changed, but to what extent? This paper discusses how coordination

Postoperative Endophthalmitis in Immediate Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery : A Nationwide Registry Study

Purpose: To report the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis (PE) after immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) in Sweden. Design: Retrospective cohort registry study. Participants: Patient data from 1 457 172 cataract extractions, including 1 364 934 unilateral surgeries and 92 238 ISBCSs. Methods: Endophthalmitis cases reported to the Swedish National Cataract Register (NCR)

Dyspnoea-12 and Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile : Systematic Review of Use and Properties

Context: The Dyspnoea-12 (D-12) and Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) were specifically developed for assessment of multiple sensations of breathlessness. Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify the use and measurement properties of the D-12 and MDP across populations, settings and languages. Methods: Electronic databases were searched for primary studies (2008-2020) reporting us
