A series of orthoborate-based ionic materials of bis(glycolato)borate ([BGB]) and bis(ethylene-1,2-dioxy)borate anions ([BEDB]) coupled with tetrabutylphosphonium ([P4444]) and tetrabutylammonium ([N4444]) cations have been synthesized, and their physicochemical properties are characterized. The ionic materials based on the most popular orthoborate anion, bis(oxalato)borate anion ([BOB]), which co

Biodiversity records are of great importance, especially in light of the biodiversity crisis. Here, we present a study on the diversity of rotifers in Bolivia based on an extensive investigation of the literature published so far. Through this approach and an analysis of samples from 207 water bodies of the country, we updated the checklist of reported species. This study revealed a total of 195 s

Situation awareness in driving involves detection of events and environmental changes. Failure in detection can be attributed to the density of these events in time, amongst other factors. In this research, we explore the effect of temporal proximity, and event duration in a change detection task during driving in VR. We replicate real-world interaction events in the streetscape and systematically

Herein, the first example of a homoleptic AgIII complex stabilized by a monodentate N-donor ligand is presented. Na2[S2O8] oxidizes the linear AgI complex, Na[Ag(succ)2] (1Na), to form a square planar argentate(III) ion, [Ag(succ)4]–, which crystallizes with a polymeric chain-structure, M[Ag(succ)4] (2M), when treated with alkali metal sulfate M2SO4 (M = K, Rb, Cs). A mixed-valent Robin-Day class

The first authoritative overview of tourism studies published post-COVID-19 The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Tourism remains a definitive reference in this interdisciplinary field. Edited and authored by leading scholars from around the world, this state-of-the-art volume provides a comprehensive critical overview of tourism studies across the social sciences. In-depth yet accessible chapters comb

Obesity is a risk factor for cardio-metabolic and neurological disease. The contribution of gut microbiota to derangements of the gut-brain axis in the context of obesity has been acknowledged, particularly through physiology modulation by short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Thus, probiotic interventions and administration of SCFAs have been employed with the purpose of alleviating symptoms in both m

Changing rainfall patterns make farmers increasingly vulnerable to crop failure, income loss and food insecurity. Agroecology is proposed to reduce climate vulnerabilities of farmers, as such practices and social movement aim to create more resilient farm and food systems. It is however fairly unknown if, and to what extent, agroecological farmers are better able to cope with climate induced expos

A novel flamelet-generated manifold (FGM) model is introduced, encompassing ignition and flame propagation in ammonia/n-heptane dual-fuel combustion under reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine conditions. To generate the FGM mapping function (FGM tabulation) accounting for multiple combustion modes in RCCI combustion, a novel one-dimensional RCCI configuration (1D-RC) is propose

Inverse stochastic resonance (ISR) is a counterintuitive phenomenon where noise reduces the oscillation frequency of an oscillator to a minimum occurring at an intermediate noise intensity, and sometimes even to the complete absence of oscillations. In neuroscience, ISR was first experimentally verified with cerebellar Purkinje neurons [Buchin et al., PLOS Comput. Biol. 12, e1005000 (2016)]. These

Background: Insects often show adaptive phenotypic plasticity where environmental cues during early stages are used to produce a phenotype that matches the environment experienced by adults. Many tropical satyrine butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) are seasonally polyphenic and produce distinct wet- and dry-season form adults, providing tight environment-phenotype matching in seasonal environmen

Examensarbetet Plats för fler i Lund undersöker möjligheterna och utmaningarna i att ge nytt liv åt en förbisedd urban plats. Projektet utgår från frågor om hur offentlig arkitektur kan främja en social blandning, hur kulturhistoriska värden kan influera en ny gestaltning och hur det omgivande stadsrummet kan användas som inspiration och ge indicier om vad som kan kompletteras i stadens urbana milThe thesis Room for More in Lund examines the possibilities and challenges of giving new life to an overlooked urban space. The project is rooted in questions about how public architecture can promote a social mix, how cultural-historical values can influence a new design and how the surrounding urban space can be used as inspiration and provide indications of what can add to the city’s urban envi

Ten essays on key existential terms. In Swedish: jag, tid, förnuft, Gud, ångest, avgrundskunskap, frihet, skam, försoning, hopp.
