Global drivers of avian haemosporidian infections vary across zoogeographical regions

Aim: Macroecological analyses provide valuable insights into factors that influence how parasites are distributed across space and among hosts. Amid large uncertainties that arise when generalizing from local and regional findings, hierarchical approaches applied to global datasets are required to determine whether drivers of parasite infection patterns vary across scales. We assessed global patte

APOGEE Chemical Abundance Patterns of the Massive Milky Way Satellites

The SDSS-IV Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey has obtained high-resolution spectra for thousands of red giant stars distributed among the massive satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW): the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC/SMC), the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy (Sgr), Fornax (Fnx), and the now fully disrupted Gaia Sausage/Enceladus (GSE) system. We present

Embassy of Sharing – testbed for emerging sustainability solutions and novel business models

Sharing is considered as one of the key elements in circular economy, as well as away to deliver social impact. According to the New Bauhaus initiative by the EuropeanCommission, new neighbourhoods should be environmentally sustainable, provide anaesthetic experience, and deliver social inclusion. This study explores the emergence of sharing business models in the real estate industry. The aim is

Four walls and beyond - hybrid spaces delivering content and community

Refuse and reduce are amongst the most influential actions within Circular Economy and refer to the act of using less, reducing consumption. Within the spatial context, sharing is one way of reducing the need for physical space. Recently, other ways have emerged, such as, virtual or hybrid solutions enabling users to be part of a community and access content which would otherwise be delivered with

Creative reuse driving revitalization in a post-industrial town

Repurposing former industrial sites to creative uses (so-called 'creative reuse') contributes to both cultural heritage and environmental sustainability, as it maintains the existing building stock. Creative reuse may also have positive impacts on the site surroundings. This study explores the prerequisites, functioning, and consequences of creative reuse in a small post-industrial town in Sweden.

Solidaritet för en levbar framtid

Antibiotikaresistens har länge utgjort en växande fara som innebär att enkla infektioner inte längre går att behandla. För att genomföra de nödvändiga förändringarna måste de mer välbeställda länderna bära en större del av bördan och kostnaderna än fattigare länder. Ett solidariskt förhållningssätt understryker vårt ömsesidiga beroende av varandra. Det ökar också möjligheten att antibiotika kommer

Order and Adornment : The Role of Dress in Plutarch

This dissertation investigates the role of dress in the ancient Greek author and intellectual Plutarch. The works of Plutarch comprise one of the most prolific authorships preserved to us from classical antiquity. His writings span a plethora of disciplines in ancient scholarship and have preserved a multitude of references to the lives and customs of both his contemporaries and his predecessors.

Monetary Policy and Economic Inequality

This thesis consists of four independent empirical papers on monetary policy and economic inequality. The first paper explores the Romer and Romer (R&R) (2004) framework to estimate monetary policy shocks. R&R propose a simple method to estimate shocks using forecast and real-time data, but such data is not always available. We study the consequences of using revised outcome data when esti

Fundamentals for a Systematic Approach to Mild and Moderate Inherited Bleeding Disorders : An EHA Consensus Report

Healthy subjects frequently report minor bleedings that are frequently 'background noise' of normality rather than a true disorder. Nevertheless, unexpected or unusual bleeding may be alarming. Thus, the distinction between normal and pathologic bleeding is critical. Understanding the underlying pathologic mechanism in patients with an excessive bleeding is essential for their counseling and treat

The evolution of social cognition in Archosauria : Gaze following and play as windows to social cognition in dinosaurs

Social cognition entails all cognitive processes involved in social interactions. To study the evolution of social cognition, it is crucial to investigate several distantly related lineages. Studies in comparative cognition have traditionally been biased towards primates and a few social mammalian species, limiting evolutionary interpretations to few and closely related lineages.To obtain a better

Long 3’UTR of Nurr1 mRNAs is targeted by miRNAs in mesencephalic dopamine neurons

The development of mesencephalic dopamine neurons and their survival later in life requires the continuous presence of the transcription factor Nurr1 (NR4A2). Nurr1 belongs to the nuclear receptors superfamily. However, it is an orphan member that does not require a ligand to regulate the transcription of its target genes. Therefore, controlling the expression of Nurr1 is an important manner to co

Outcomes and interventions in patients transported to hospital with ongoing CPR after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest - An observational study

INTRODUCTION: The main objective was to present characteristics and outcome of patients without sustained field return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) transported to hospital with ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Our secondary objectives were to investigate hospital-based interventions and the performance of the universal Termination of Resuscitation-rule (uTOR).METHODS: In this retr

Projections of temperature-related excess mortality under climate change scenarios

Background: Climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-optimal outdoor temperature. However, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is limited, mainly due to issues in modelling and projecting complex and highly heterogeneous epidemiological relationships across different populations and climates. Methods: We collected observed daily time series of mean te

The Gaia-ESO survey : The selection function of the Milky Way field stars

The Gaia-ESO Survey was designed to target all major Galactic components (i.e. bulge, thin and thick discs, halo and clusters), with the goal of constraining the chemical and dynamical evolution of the MilkyWay. This paper presents the methodology and considerations that drive the selection of the targeted, allocated and successfully observed Milky Way field stars. The detailed understanding of th

Predictions for p + Pb Collisions at sN N = √5 TeV : Comparison with Data

Predictions made in Albacete et al. [Int. J. Mod. Phys. E 22 (2013) 1330007] prior to the LHC p+Pb run at sNN = 5 TeV are compared to currently available data. Some predictions shown here have been updated by including the same experimental cuts as the data. Some additional predictions are also presented, especially for quarkonia, that were provided to the experiments before the data were made pub

Bedömningsverktyg - kemikalieexponering i barns inomhusmiljö

Det förekommer en uppsjö av gamla och nya kemikalier i vår och våra barns vardag. Detta gör det svårt att överblicka vilka ämnen vi exponeras för och vilka hälsorisker dessa medför. Då små barn är känsligare för lägre halter av kemiska ämnen är kontroller av barns inomhusmiljö ett område som bör prioriteras inom statlig myndighetsvägledning. I dagsläget saknas det dessvärre både en övergripande na

Business models for the 3D food printing industry

3D food printing is a fascinating novel technology with many promising applications, from futuristic-looking food topersonalized nutrition, and space food for astronauts. However, much of its potential is only realized in the laboratoryor speculated in the literature. This research is an attempt to explore the barriers to the diffusion of this newtechnology to the wider market. It argues that the

To investigate the consumption of alcohol among emergency room patients, we included 395 patients above 18 years old entering the emergency room during a period of ten days. The patients completed a questionnaire about alcohol consumption, smoking habits and medication. In our investigation 56% of the men and 25% of the women had a daily consumption above the limits recommended by the Ministry of

The purpose of this study was to describe changes in smoking behaviour and exposure to passive smoking among hospital employees at a large Danish University Hospital (Bispebjerg Hospital) from 1992 until 1999 as part of a program toward a smoke-free hospital. The study was based upon three cross-sectional self-administered questionnaires surveys carried out among all employees at the hospital - ap
