Permanent ponds are valuable freshwater systems and biodiversity hotspots. They provide diverse ecosystem services (ESs), including water quality improvement and supply, food provisioning, and biodiversity support, despite significant pressure from multiple anthropogenic stressors and the impacts of ongoing global change. However, ponds are largely overlooked in management plans and legislation, a

Aim As part of its strategic objectives for 2023, EULAR aims to improve the work participation of people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs). One strategic initiative focused on the development of overarching points to consider (PtC) to support people with RMDs in healthy and sustainable paid work participation. Methods EULAR's standardised operating procedures were followed. A stee

What does proportionality reasoning mean for decision support in international humanitarian law (ihl)? We first consider contemporary ihl commentaries on proportionality as an analogue form of decision support through a paradigmatic example. Over time, proportionality in ihl has changed from being a rule-specific space for discretionary decision making to a much broader compromise-seeking within b

The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring lattice contains three separate families of octupole magnets. During the lattice design, they served the purpose of minimising the amplitude-dependent tune shift. Ensuring the optimal settings of the octupoles is important in order to achieve the desired machine performance in terms of transverse dynamic acceptance and momentum acceptance. This paper describes the onl

As retail is becoming increasingly digitised in its operation and consumer relationships, much faith is put into automation, prediction and insights drawn from consumer data to shape consumer experiences and expectations. Under the umbrella of data-collection and artificial intelligence (AI), this chapter studies the role of consumer trust in retail personalisation. We draw empirical insights from

Fifteen correlated α-decay chains starting from the odd-A superheavy nucleus 289Fl were observed following the fusion-evaporation reaction 48Ca+244Pu. The results call for at least two parallel α-decay sequences starting from at least two different states of 289Fl. This implies that close-lying levels in nuclei along these chains have quite different spin-parity assignments. Further, observed α-el

Trender av svampbekämpningsmedlet Klorotalonil i gravidas blod över en 18-årsperiod Bekämpningsmedlet Klorotalonil (CHT) har funnits länge och använts på en mängd olika typer av grönsaker, vilket är förbjudet i Sverige och även Europa idag. Ändå hittades det nyligen i gravida skånska kvinnor och har fortsatt upptäckts i gravida kvinnors blod kontinuerligt under de senaste 18 åren. Sannolikt finnsAgricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. Our aim was to assess the stability as well as temporal trends of

Fire extinguishers are a requirement for fire safety in every type of building today. The effectiveness of a fire extinguisher is however dependent on it not leaking and keeping the pressure. To assure that this is not the case, maintenance is recommended at regular intervals, by the owners themselves at monthly intervals, and once per year by professionals. This however leaves the fire extinguish

The field of artificial intelligence is seeing the increased application of satellite imagery to analyse poverty in its various manifestations. This nascent but rapidly growing intersection of scholarship holds the potential to help us better understand poverty by leveraging big data and recent advances in machine vision. In this study, we statistically analyse the literature in the expanding fiel

Non-invasive biomarkers for androgen receptor (AR) pathway activation are urgently needed to better monitor patient response to prostate cancer (PCa) therapies. AR is a critical driver and mediator of resistance of PCa but currently available non-invasive PCa biomarkers to monitor AR activity are discordant with downstream AR pathway activity. External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) remains a common tre

This article presents the investigation of two linen shirts which form part of the funerary dress of Bishop Peder Pedersen Winstrup (1605–1679), buried 1680 in Lund Cathedral, southern Sweden. When the grave was opened in 2013, it was discovered that the body had been naturally mummified, and that the funerary dress, including the linen, was well-preserved. Extant Early Modern linen garments are r

This chapter examines the emergence of strategic diplomatic campaigning under David Miliband, in which efforts to “normalise” public diplomacy saw diplomacy itself become more campaign based. This includes a case study of the early parts of the Olympics 2012 promotional strategy; a renewed emphasis on the digital platform as a tool of influence, including the rollout of ambassadorial blogging and

This paper criticizes attempts to present narrow perspectives on innovation policy as reflecting the use of the concept innovation system. While it is correct that innovation policy, at least until recently, has given higher priority to economic growth than to global challenges such as climate change and income inequality this is in no way immanent in the innovation system concept. To illustrate,

Current derivatization-dependent approaches for amino acid composition analysis of cereal proteins have significant variability due to lack of direct analysis opportunities and loss of amino acids during protein-hydrolysis. To tackle these drawbacks, a novel direct, derivatization-free approach was successfully introduced, using HPAEC-PAD, and applied for analysis of hydrolyzed defatted oat flour

We report the discovery of TOI-2285b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet transiting a nearby (42 pc) M dwarf with a period of 27.3 d. We identified the transit signal from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometric data, which we confirmed with ground-based photometric observations using the multiband imagers MuSCAT2 and MuSCAT3. Combining these data with other follow-up observations including

Advocacy is one of the central means for supporting access to justice. The social work profession has advocacy as one of its main courses of action. This discusses the components in actions that are considered as good practice for facilitating access to justice in its democratic aspects. More explicitly social workers advocacy for promoting the worth and dignity of human beings in society. Four di
