Ecological traits interact with landscape context to determine bees' pesticide risk

Widespread contamination of ecosystems with pesticides threatens non-target organisms. However, the extent to which life-history traits affect pesticide exposure and resulting risk in different landscape contexts remains poorly understood. We address this for bees across an agricultural land-use gradient based on pesticide assays of pollen and nectar collected by Apis mellifera, Bombus terrestris

Real Utopias at Work. Conflicts and dreams among nurses in the public sector.

This chapter illuminates what nurses experience as central conflicts shaping their everyday/everynight work, and what forms of injustice they identify as arising from those circumstances. Through the concept of real utopia, we explore what forms of radical visions of care nurses harbour and express. A central argument is that the interviewed nurses suggest a new system of value - in which care con

Automated Low-Cost Soil Moisture Sensors: Trade-Off between Cost and Accuracy

Automated soil moisture systems are commonly used in precision agriculture. Using low-cost sensors, the spatial extension can be maximized, but the accuracy might be reduced. In this paper, we address the trade-off between cost and accuracy comparing low-cost and commercial soil moisture sensors. The analysis is based on the capacitive sensor SKU:SEN0193 tested under lab and field conditions. In a

Hedvig Eleonora (1636-1715), barockens drottning, gift med Karl X Gustav, mor till Karl XI och farmor till Karl XII. Mecenat för konst och kultur, medlem i två förmyndarregeringar. Skildring av 1600-talets Sverige, stormaktens uppgång och fall.

Beneficial and Detrimental Pressure-Related Effects on Inner Neurons in the Adult Porcine In Vitro Retina

Purpose: To explore pressure-related effects in the adult porcine retina in vitro. Methods: Retinal explants were subjected to 0, 10, 30, or 60 mmHg of pressure for 24 or 48 hours in culture. Overall tissue damage in sections was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase media levels, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and TUNEL staining. Inner retinal neurons were evaluated by protein kinase C alpha (rod bi

Occurrence and relative risks for non-vertebral fractures in patients with ankylosing spondylitis compared with the general population : a register-based study from Sweden

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the incidence of non-vertebral fractures in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) compared with the general population. METHODS: Nationwide register-based cohort study including patients with AS (n=11 611, 65% men, mean age 48 years), and matched general population controls (n=58 050). Five prespecified fracture outcomes: (1) non-vertebral; (2) fracture of the proximal humerus, dista

Nanolithographic Fabrication Technologies for Network-Based Biocomputation Devices

Network-based biocomputation (NBC) relies on accurate guiding of biological agents through nanofabricated channels produced by lithographic patterning techniques. Here, we report on the large-scale, wafer-level fabrication of optimized microfluidic channel networks (NBC networks) using electron-beam lithography as the central method. To confirm the functionality of these NBC networks, we solve an

Extending Microservice Model Validity using Universal Differential Equations

When creating models of a system, there is always a tradeoff between the ease of modelling a part and the increased value it brings to the model. Learning a model using machine learning instead, we are able to capture all kinds of things we don't necessarily understand, but can need large amounts of data to learn even the things we find simple. Using universal differential equations we can combine

N-BAR and F-BAR proteins - Endophilin-A3 and PSTPIP1 - control clathrin-independent endocytosis of L1CAM

Recent advances in the field demonstrate the high diversity and complexity of endocytic pathways. In the current study, we focus on the endocytosis of L1CAM. This glycoprotein plays a major role in the development of the nervous system, and is involved in cancer development and is associated with metastases and poor prognosis. Two L1CAM isoforms are subject to endocytosis: isoform 1, described as
