Introduction: Emergency departments (ED) globally are addressing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with varying degrees of success. We leveraged the 17-country, Emergency Medicine Education & Research by Global Experts (EMERGE) network and non-EMERGE ED contacts to understand ED emergency preparedness and practices globally when combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We elect
The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely applied for simulating the water cycle and quantifying the influence of climate change and anthropogenic activities on hydrological processes. A major uncertainty of SWAT stems from the poor representation of vegetation dynamics due to the use of a simplistic vegetation growth and development module. Using long-term remote sensing-bas
For most food crops the identity and efficiency of pollinators across key growing regions remains a significant knowledge gap that needs to be addressed before we can develop crop-specific approaches for pollination service delivery. Here, we conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis on watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb. Matsum. & Nakai)), a globally important fruit crop, t
Identifying where and when population ‘bottlenecks’ occur is critical to the conservation of migratory species, many of which are declining precipitously worldwide. Especially challenging is the evaluation of changes to staging sites. These sites are indispensable links in the migratory cycle but are typically used only briefly. We devised a field-based approach to assess the quality and carrying
The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, paved the way for a new hybrid global climate governance architecture with both bottom-up and top-down elements. While governments can choose individual climate goals and actions, a global stocktake and a ratcheting-up mechanism have been put in place with the overall aim to ensure that collective efforts will prevent increasing adverse impacts of climate chan
The great hopes in Brussels that a circular bioeconomy will help bridge the growing divide between urban and rural areas and allow the hinterlands to prosper from ‘green growth’ are addressed in this article, which reflects on insights from three Nordic case studies of brown, green and blue biomass use at different levels of technology readiness. A closer examination of the forward, backward, fisc
This article is a revised version of the inaugural lecture delivered on 5 October2023, on the occasion of the author's appointment as Professor of History of Religions at Lund University. It opens by depicting fundamental changes in the study of the history of religions in the twentieth century, followed by biographical notes, including her research on lay Buddhism in urban Taiwan, the emphasis on
Biological invasions pose a global challenge, affecting ecosystems worldwide and human societies. Knowledge of the evolutionary history of invasive species is critical to understanding their current invasion success and projecting their future spread. However, to date, few studies have addressed the evolutionary history and potential future spread of invaders simultaneously. In this study, we expl
Plant size is a crucial functional trait with substantial implications in agronomy and forestry. Understanding the factors influencing plant size is essential for ecosystem management and restoration efforts. Various environmental factors and plant density play significant roles in plant size. However, how plant size responds to mean annual precipitation (MAP), mean annual temperature (MAT), and d
Core elements of countries’ clean energy industry success, as well as low-carbon economic development, have attracted various levels of interest from countries around the world. This thesis is based on an analysis of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act. With regard, it gives the background of what the regulation is about and its rationale. In a critical way, it has analyzed some elements of the chal
LEVTEK SWEDEN AB håller på att lansera en ny typ av elektriskt drivet fordon vid namn LEVKARTEN. Produkten ska med sina fyra hjul vara lätt och stabil att köra samtidigt som den erbjuder goda lastmöjligheter både inomhus och utomhus. Fordonet är utrustat med avancerade funktioner som möjliggör ökad säkerhet samt semi-autonom eller autonom körning. Innan Levtek lanserar deras nya produkt, vill de uThe start-up company LEVTEK is launching a new ultralight electric utility vehicle called the LEVKART. The Levkart uses a combination of robotics and AI-technology to offer semi-autonomous or autonomous riding and usage. The purpose of the vehicle is to serve as an alternative to cargo bikes and electric scooters designed for easy usage and as a more sustainable option to fossil-based transport. T
This thesis examines the interplay between gender and the perception of impoliteness in the Japanese workplace. Firstly, impoliteness is an area in sociolinguistics that discusses face-threatening acts, perceived in situations modified by different aspects, e.g. context and the gender of the interlocutors. Secondly, gendered language is another area within sociolinguistics which gained popularity
With the rapid advancement of urban renewal and the shift toward sustainable development, the integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and industrial heritage preservation has become a key strategy in revitalizing post-industrial cities. Rather than viewing industrial heritage sites as obsolete, new approaches now emphasize their adaptive reuse within the framework of transit-accessible,
With increasing country-level gender equality, country-level gender differences in personality are found to increase. This is known as the Gender-Equality-Personality-Paradox (GEPP). Possibly, the GEPP is a methodological artefact. So far, the personality trait scoring method has not been investigated as a potential source of the GEPP. Three kinds of scores were investigated in the present study:
Objective Second language learning continues to be a field of growing interest both in academia and everyday life. As such, a more comprehensive understanding of the best learning methods remains an important area of focus. This study aimed to investigate single-session vocabulary acquisition and neural underpinnings of language learning through Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), in relation to immer
