To shake or not to shake : 13 C-based evidence on anaerobic methane oxidation in paddy soil

The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) removes most of the biologically produced methane (CH 4 ) from marine ecosystems before it enters the atmosphere and thus mitigates greenhouse gas emissions. As compared to marine environments, surprisingly little is known about the role of AOM in terrestrial ecosystems. Particularly, how AOM controls the CH 4 budget of paddy soils is unexplored, partly

Environmental and physiological controls on diurnal and seasonal patterns of biogenic volatile organic compound emissions from five dominant woody species under field conditions

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play essential roles in tropospheric chemistry, on both regional and global scales. The emissions of large quantities of species-specific BVOC depend not only on environmental (temperature, T; photosynthetically active radiation, PAR), but also physiological parameters (i.e. net photosynthetic rate, Pn; transpiration rate, Tr; stomatal conductance, gs an

Maternal and perinatal outcomes with COVID-19 : A systematic review of 108 pregnancies

INTRODUCTION: The pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has exposed vulnerable populations to an unprecedented global health crisis. The knowledge gained from previous human coronavirus outbreaks suggests that pregnant women and their fetuses are particularly susceptible to poor outcomes. The objective of this study was to summarize the clinical manife

Comparison of historical medical spending patterns among the BRICS and G7

OBJECTIVE: The past few decades have been marked by a bold increase in national health spending across the globe. Rather successful health reforms in leading emerging markets such as BRICS reveal a reshaping of their medical care-related expenditures. There is a scarcity of evidence explaining differences in long-term medical spending patterns between top ranked G7 traditional welfare economies an

Extended Producer Responsibility in East Asia: Approaches and lessons learnt from the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment

Environmental protection has become high in the policy agenda of East Asian countries by the end of the last century due to both internal and external stimuli. One of the main environmental issues is the management of solid waste. The concept of circular economy which encourages reduce, reuse, and recycling, i.e. 3Rs, together with the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has been p

Palynostratigraphy of the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass-extinction interval of the Southern Hemisphere

The palynofloral changes around the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event reveal the fine details of vegetation response to a global environmental crisis-in this case an asteroid impact in Mexico 65.5 million years ago. Due to the extinction of several plant taxa at the K-Pg boundary, palynostratigraphy is a prime tool for localizing the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in non-marine succ

Endotoxin, ergosterol, fungal DNA and allergens in dust from schools in johor bahru, malaysia- associations with asthma and respiratory infections in pupils.

There are few studies on associations between respiratory health and allergens, fungal and bacterial compounds in schools in tropical countries. The aim was to study associations between respiratory symptoms in pupils and ethnicity, chemical microbial markers, allergens and fungal DNA in settled dust in schools in Malaysia. Totally 462 pupils (96%) from 8 randomly selected secondary schools in Joh

The Future of Shopping is On(Live) : En netnografisk studie om fenomenet Live Video Shopping och digitaliseringens roll i utvecklingen av modeindustrin

The purpose of this bachelor thesis, called “The Future of Shopping is On(Live) - en netnografisk studie om fenomenet Live Video Shopping och digitaliseringens roll i utvecklingen av modeindustrin”, is to create a deeper understanding of the phenomenon Live Video Shopping. More specifically it aims to provide an understanding of how this new way of consumption can be understood as a part of an on-

How is the use of AI in auditing perceived by auditors in social media ?

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to critically evaluate posts/comments collected from social media on AI auditing to analyze how auditors perceive the application of AI in the auditing industry currently. Methodology: We did qualitative research using content analysis to conduct our research. We scraped posts/comments from Reddit, Quora, and Weibo for information collection purposes. We used

Effektivisering av snöröjning

Entrepreneurs have difficulties in performing maintenance activities due to the increasing intensity of train services and failing infrastructure. Annually, the state loses billions of SEK due to delays caused by failures in infrastructure or maintenance not performed on time. The largest amounts of delays occur during winter time, when our infrastructure cannot cope with the climate as it is expo

Leveraging multi-source satellite imagery for improving daily reservoir water storage and inflow estimation in a catchment hydrological model

Accurate reservoir dynamics, particularly water storage and inflow, are crucial for release decisions and operation rule assessments. However, the lack of sufficient monitoring data has hindered the accurate representation of reservoir behavior in hydrological models. While the increasing availability of satellite imagery provides unprecedented opportunities for dynamic reservoir monitoring, its p

Getting a Spot on the Street: : Street Vendors’ Access to Public Space in Bogotá, Colombia.

Is it truly the "end" of public space? This handbook presents evidence that the answer is "no". In cities in different parts of the world, people still use public space to pursue activities of their choice.The book is divided into seven sections. The first section presents three emerging types of public space. Each of the subsequent five sections focuses on a type of activity: recreation, commerce

Deciphering microbiomes dozens of meters under our feet and their edaphoclimatic and spatial drivers

Microbes inhabiting deep soil layers are known to be different from their counterpart in topsoil yet remain under investigation in terms of their structure, function, and how their diversity is shaped. The microbiome of deep soils (>1 m) is expected to be relatively stable and highly independent from climatic conditions. Much less is known, however, on how these microbial communities vary along cl

“We choose this CV because we choose diversity” : What do eye movements say about the choices recruiters make?

Introduction: A large body of research has established a consensus that racial discrimination in CV screening occurs and persists. Nevertheless, we still know very little about how recruiters look at the CV and how this is connected to the discriminatory patterns. This article examines the way recruiters view and select CVs and how they reason about their CV selection choices, as a first step in u

The sensitivity of ginkgo leaf unfolding to the temperature and photoperiod decreases with increasing elevation

Climate change substantially affects plant phenology, resulting in earlier vegetation onset across temperate and boreal regions. Phenological shifts caused by warming may alter species interactions across trophic levels because of species-specific responses, and influence the reproductive success of dioecious species if the phenological sensitivity to warming (ST) differs between genders. We used

Associations of the EAT-Lancet reference diet with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and its severity : a multi-cohort study

BACKGROUND AIMS: The EAT-Lancet Commission devised a globally sustainable dietary pattern to jointly promote human health and sustainability. However, the extent to which this diet supports metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has not yet been assessed. This study aimed to investigate the association between the EAT-Lancet diet and risk of MASLD and its severity.APPROAC
