This research employed GC-MS metabolomics profiling on bulbs of three genera i.e., Ornithogalum, Loncomelos, and Melomphis (Asparagaceae), to elucidate their taxonomic relationships. The analysis of 30 specimens across 8 species (Ornithogalum comprising 3 species: O. cuspidatum, O. neurostegium, O. orthophyllum; Loncomelos including 4 species: L. arcuatum, L. brachystachys, L. bungei, L. kurdicum;

Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of biogeochemical cycles important to climate change These models allow for policy-relevant calculations such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions compatible with a specified climate stabilization target. In addition, the range of cl

This interview-based study seeks to gain insight into the varying motivations behind car usage across different societal groups, alongside their attitudes towards travel behavior and transportation options. Its overarching goal is to delve deeper into the factors and constraints that influences individuals’ car use and mode choice. The research methodology involves collecting one-month travel data

Bees are pollinators of both wild and crop plants with significant ecological and economic value. However, recent studies report declines in their populations, particularly in agricultural landscapes. Compared to conventional farming, organic agricultural management is considered less harmful to biodiversity. Despite this, studies addressing wild bees in organic systems remain limited. In this stu

The paper explores the nuanced use of computational artefacts in shaping the cooperative work practices of academic library managers. Grounded in a focused ethnographic study involving 21 middle managers from two academic libraries in Sweden and Australia, the research employed participant observation, formal and informal interviews, and document review. The empirical material was thematically ana

The Healthcare Strike 2024 : An Oral History. This bachelor thesis explores the effect of the 2024 strike by the Swedish Association of Health Professionals on the subjectivity of its participants. Through oral history as method and theory, recorded interviews with a strategic selection of informants have been conducted. All informants are nurses and union members, but with varying degrees of unio

This special issue of Climatic Change contains a series of research articles documenting co-ordinated work carried out within a 3-year European Union project 'Prediction of Regional scenarios and Uncertainties for Defining European Climate change risks and Effects' (PRUDENCE). The main objective of the PRUDENCE project was to provide high resolution climate change scenarios for Europe at the end o

Climate change may affect the yield of mass-flowering crops by altering the interplay between pest pressure and service delivery by pollinators, but realistic predictions need to account for the frequent use of insecticides in conventional farming. We tested the interactive effects of insecticide use and warmer winter conditions on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) production, pest pressure, and the a

Background: Serially interconnected microfluidic devices enable advanced applications such as multi-step chemical processing and multi-organ-on-chip systems. However, managing these systems presents challenges due to interdependent fluid dynamics in their connecting channels, where even minor disturbances can propagate throughout the network, affecting overall system performance. Methods: This stu

There is a global concern about the decline of wild pollinators and the ecosystem services they provide. Although land-use change is a major threat to biodiversity, it is still poorly understood how land-use heterogeneity (or land-use structure) impacts pollinator communities and entomophilous crop production. Based on a literature review, we performed a meta-analysis to (1) assess how landscape s

Drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV), our study examines how C-level management team composition influences fundraising through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) in the context of developing countries. Using a dataset of 458 ICOs and Probit regression analyses, we find that born-digital ventures led by internationally diverse management teams attract more capital, as investors associate diversity

Direct reprogramming of somatic cells into neurons offers a promising strategy for studying neurological disorders and developing cell-based therapies. This protocol describes the 3D direct reprogramming of human glial progenitor cells into dopaminergic neurons. It includes spheroid formation, lentiviral transduction, neuronal induction using doxycycline, and validation via gene expression and imm

Purpose This study investigates the drivers and barriers to digitalisation in viticulture, focusing on the Italian wine sector. Although digital transformation is widely recognised as necessary for its potential to bring significant improvements to this industry, the determinants and barriers to this process are still unappreciated by research in the field. Design/methodology/approach Due to the e

Although many efforts have been made to eliminate barriers in public transport worldwide, research shows that public transport is still often perceived as challenging, inconvenient, and inaccessible for many people with disabilities. A growing body of research points to several issues, relating to the spatial and temporal distribution of public transport, affordability, safety, and social barriers

To improve gearset performance, gears can be subjected to surface treatments. One possible surface treatment is TCG, Triboconditioning for Complex Geometries. This paper investigates efficiency and pitting resistance of two types of TCG treatments on powder-sintered gears, compared to an untreated reference. Experimental testing is performed in an FZG gear test rig with an efficiency and a pitting

The Älvkarleby test dam, constructed in Sweden, was designed with several intentionally created defects to serve as a controlled environment for evaluating various monitoring techniques. Among these, a unique three-dimensional (3D) Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) setup was implemented. The ERT survey design, combined with full 3D calculation of the geometric factor and inversion constraine

This contribution discusses relations between the Swedish SAC and the legislature (Riksdag), focusing on how Sweden balances popular sovereignty with judicial independence. The analysis focuses on the legislature's influence on the SAC and – on the other hand – the SAC and its judges’ impact on the legislature, especially the constitutional control of draft legislation carried out by the Council o
