While necessary to protect human lives, many of the measures implemented by governments to contain the COVID-19 pandemic imposed significant costs on the population. Drawing on an original representative survey fielded during the first wave of COVID-19 in April–June 2020 in Sweden and Denmark, we examine how members of different occupational groups evaluated their government's pandemic strategies.

Sheep's fescue, Festuca ovina, is a common grass found all over Eurasia. In populations in southern Sweden some individuals were found to have two copies of the gene for cytoplasmic phosphoglucose isomerase, PgiC. The second copy, PgiC2, was first believed to be a duplicate of the original gene, PgiC1, but comparisons showed that this is not probable. The PgiC2 locus comprises two PgiC2 genes that
Water related problems are characterized by complexities, uncertainties, and conflicting interests and there is no single “optimal” way to approach these “wicked” problems. Model-assisted participatory processes have been suggested as one way to meet these challenges.
