Millora 2.0: Redovisning av resultat för 2018–2020
Based on repeated surveys of the vascular plant flora in 120 hectar plots in the province of Scania, southern-most Sweden, and analyses based on species-specific traits and ecological indicator values, it is concluded that significant changes have taken place 2018–2020 but that they probably mostly reflect the effects of the extremely dry and hot summer of 2018.

Surveillance of leishmaniasis cases from 15 European centres, 2014 to 2019 : a retrospective analysis
Background: Surveillance of human leishmaniasis in Europe is mostly limited to country-specific information from autochthonous infections in the southern part. As at the end of 2021, no integrated analysis has been performed for cases seen across centres in different European countries. Aim: To provide a broad perspective on autochthonous and imported leishmaniasis cases in endemic and non-endemic
Contact Allergy to Two Aluminum Salts in Consecutively Patch-Tested Dermatitis Patients
Background: Recently, aluminum chloride hexahydrate (ACH) 10.0% petrolatum (pet) was recommended for patch testing to detect aluminum contact allergy. Aluminum lactate (AL) may be as reliable a test substance as ACH. Objective: We aimed to investigate the frequencies of aluminum allergy when ACH and AL were used in patch testing consecutive patients. Methods: Petrolatum preparations of ACH 10.0% a
Differential effects of skilled reaching training on the temporal and spatial organization of somatosensory input to cortical and striatal motor circuits
It has been hypothesized that to perform sensorimotor transformations efficiently, somatosensory information being fed back to a particular motor circuit is organized in accordance with the mechanical loading patterns of the skin that result from the motor activity generated by that circuit. Rearrangements of sensory information to different motor circuits could in this respect constitute a key co
Assimilation of atmospheric CO2observations from space can support national CO2emission inventories
The Paris Agreement establishes a transparency framework for anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It's core component are inventory-based national greenhouse gas emission reports, which are complemented by independent estimates derived from atmospheric CO2 measurements combined with inverse modelling. It is, however, not known whether such a Monitoring and Verification Support (MVS) capac
Benjamin Esterman (1906–1994) and the binocular visual field scoring grid that became a world standard for assessing driver eligibility
The visual field grid developed by the ophthalmologist Benjamin Esterman (1906-1994) is today an accepted standard for assessing driver eligibility in many parts of the world. However, little is published about the scientific process that led to the test or about the person who developed it. The aim of this article is to portray the ophthalmologist Benjamin Esterman, and to discuss the visual fiel
Contrasting phenology responses to climate warming across the northern extra-tropics
Climate warming has substantially advanced the timing of spring leaf-out of woody species at middle and high latitudes, albeit with large differences. Insights in the spatial variation of this climate warming response may therefore help to constrain future trends in leaf-out and its impact on energy, water and carbon balances at global scales. In this study, we used in situ phenology observations
Perspektiv på offentlig förvaltning : Teori i praktiken
Resultatet av politiska beslut påverkas i stor utsträckning av vad som sker i den offentliga förvaltningen. Att studera hur förvaltningen styrs och hur den fungerar är därför helt centralt inom samhällsvetenskaperna. För att analysera den offentliga förvaltningens komplexitet och mångfald behövs ett brett spektrum av teorier, men beroende på vilken teori som används kommer både frågeställningar oc

Pragmatic Muslim Politics : The Case of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress
This book analyses and discusses the use of Islamic terms and symbols in the political party Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC). It is based on interviews with the leading members of the party and on analyses of the party’s official documents. It describes the history of Muslims in Sri Lanka, presents the analytical framework used, and discusses the official documents and narratives of party members
Plasma GFAP is an early marker of amyloid-β but not tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease
Although recent clinical trials targeting amyloid-β in Alzheimer's disease have shown promising results, there is increasing evidence suggesting that understanding alternative disease pathways that interact with amyloid-β metabolism and amyloid pathology might be important to halt the clinical deterioration. In particular, there is evidence supporting a critical role of astroglial activation and a

School Principals’ Work Participation in an Extended Working Life—Are They Able to, and Do They Want to? A Quantitative Study of the Work Situation
The objective of this study is to increase the knowledge regarding school principals’ work situations by examining the associations between various factors and the school principals’ assessments of their ability or wish to work until 65 years of age or longer. The 1356 participating school principals in this study were aged between 50 and 64 years of age. Individual and work factors were evaluated
Estimation of actual evapotranspiration : A novel hybrid method based on remote sensing and artificial intelligence
Actual evapotranspiration (AET) is one of the decisive factors controlling the water balance at the catchment level, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, but measured data for which are generally unavailable. In this study, performance of a base artificial intelligence (AI) model, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and its hybrids with two bio-inspired optimization algorithms, n
Evaluating the impact of the environment on depleting groundwater resources: a case study from a semi-arid and arid climatic region
This study, for the first time, assesses the impact of critical environmental factors on groundwater using Bayesian network (BN) integrated with analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and develops a groundwater vulnerability map. The considered environmental factors are divided into the following categories: physical (rainfall, temperature (Tmax/Tmin), relative humidity (RHmax/RHmin)), water use and d
Human Rights as Law, Language, and Space-Making : Women’s Rights Movement in Post-Revolutionary Egypt
This dissertation analyses feminist activists’ use of human rights in post-revolutionary Egypt from 2011 to 2019. Drawing on interviews with feminist activists under three fieldwork trips, the dissertation investigates how: activists tried to implement gender equality in the country’s new constitutions, navigated the shrinking public space after 2013, sustained their activism against sexual violen
Structural basis for PoxtA-mediated resistance to phenicol and oxazolidinone antibiotics
PoxtA and OptrA are ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins of the F subtype (ABCF). They confer resistance to oxazolidinone and phenicol antibiotics, such as linezolid and chloramphenicol, which stall translating ribosomes when certain amino acids are present at a defined position in the nascent polypeptide chain. These proteins are often encoded on mobile genetic elements, facilitating their rapid s
