Legal opinion ('remiss') on the proposal for a National Application of Regulation No 995/2010 lawing down the obligations of those who place timber and timber products on the market, Dnr. LUR 2012/70

Economic Thought and Climate Disruption: Neoclassical and Economic Dynamic Approaches in the USA and the EU
In this article we consider the economic ideas that have influenced climate disruption law both in the USA and the EU. Although economic thought has led to the adoption of ‘market-based’ mechanisms in both places, its impact has been different: it created regulatory inertia in the USA, and green leadership in the EU—at least with respect to responding to climate disruption. We argue that different
New evidence on the importance of instruction time for student achievement on international assessments
We re-examine the importance of instruction time for student achievement on international assessments. We successfully replicate the positive effect of weekly instruction time in the seminal paper by Lavy (Economic Journal, 125, F397-F424) in a narrow sense. Extending the analysis to other international assessments, we find effects that are consistently smaller in magnitude. We provide evidence th
Pyruvate Kinase 2, an Energy Metabolism Related Enzyme, May Have a Neuroprotective Function in Retinal Degeneration
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited disorder that results in vision impairment but general and mutation-independent therapeutic strategies are not available. However, it is widely regarded that the cGMP system, including cGMP and its interactor cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), acts as a crucial effector during retinal degeneration. We have previously identified a list of cGMP-PKG-depende
Are Exercise Therapy Protocols For The Treatment of Hip-Related Pain Adequately Described? A Systematic Review of Intervention Descriptions
Hip-related pain is an umbrella term encompassing pain from non-arthritic hip joint pathologies, such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, hip dysplasia, and labral tears. Exercise therapy is commonly recommended for these conditions, but the reporting completeness of these interventions is currently unclear. Purpose The aim of this systematic review was to assess the reporting completeness o

Legalising environmental leadership: A comment on the CJEU's ruling in C-366/10 on the inclusion of aviation in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme
Abstract in UndeterminedThis article examines the recent judgment in case C-366/10 in which the CJEU upheld the widened scope of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, to include aviation, against a challenge by US airlines. At the core of this case stands the question of the extent to which, if at all, the EU is allowed to unilaterally control greenhouse gas emissions from aviation given that to date t

miRNAs in the beta cell - friends or foes?
Type-2 diabetes (T2D) develops due to insulin resistance and an inability of the pancreatic β-cells to increase secretion of insulin and reduce elevated blood glucose levels. Diminished β-cell function and mass have been implicated in impaired β-cell secretory capacity and several microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be involved in regulating β-cell processes. We believe miRNAs are nodes in im
Finance for fossils – The role of public financing in expanding petrochemicals
The petrochemicals industry (mainly plastics and fertilizer production) is expanding, despite increasing attention to the environmental impact of petrochemicals. In our paper, we explore the role public finance plays in the petrochemicals industry. We do so by mapping the public and private financial flows into large-scale petrochemical projects for the decade 2010-20 and discuss the role of publi

Impact of central complex lesions on innate and learnt visual navigation in ants
Wood ants are excellent navigators, using a combination of innate and learnt navigational strategies to travel between their nest and feeding sites. Visual navigation in ants has been studied extensively, however, we have little direct evidence for the underlying neural mechanisms. Here, we perform lateralized mechanical lesions in the central complex (CX) of wood ants, a midline structure known t
In-Situ X-ray Diffraction Analysis of Metastable Austenite Containing Steels Under Mechanical Loading at a Wide Strain Rate Range
This paper presents and discusses the methodology and technical aspects of mechanical tests carried out at a wide strain rate range with simultaneous synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements. The motivation for the study was to develop capabilities for in-situ characterization of the loading rate dependency of mechanically induced phase transformations in steels containing metastable austenite.

Climate mediates roles of pollinator species in plant–pollinator networks
Aim: Understanding how climate conditions influence plant–pollinator interactions at the global scale is crucial to understand how pollinator communities and ecosystem function respond to environmental change. Here, we investigate whether climate drives differences in network roles of the main insect pollinator orders: Diptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Location: Global. Time period
