Contrasting effects of tree origin and urbanization on invertebrate abundance and tree phenology

The ongoing wide-scale introduction of nonnative plants across the world may negatively influence native invertebrate fauna, due to a lack of coevolved traits related to the novel plants, e.g., unique phytochemicals or shifted phenology. Nonnative plants, specifically trees, are common in urban environments, areas that already pose novel habitats to plants and wildlife through a wide array of anth

Copper Prices and Heterogeneity: The Chilean and Norwegian Cases, 1850–1913

As a first approach to the comparison between the Andean and the Nordic countries, it is their specialisation on natural resource exportation. But even though both regions exported similar commodities at the beginning of the nineteenth century, how similar were they really? In this article, we analyse thecopper exportation of Chile and Norway in order to see small differences that can have made a

Ticking boxes and clocking in: A critical view of gender mainstreaming in labour-market integration

Mainstreaming is a popular approach when seeking to address societal inequalities. Gender and migrant integration are mainstreamed within EU policy, both seeking to increase labour market participation as a means to redress inequality. However, there are limited references to migrant women within gender equality or integration policies at the EU level. The study dissects a subset of migrant integr

Breaking the patientification process - through co-creation of care, using old arctic survival knowledge

Syfte: Cancerforskning och relaterade innovationsprocesser saknar ofta en viktig komponent; patientdeltagande. Vi nyanalyserar tre studier (a-c) för att undersöka hur teorin Nuets förnöjsamhet kan användas för att förbättra patientens deltagande och psykosociala hälsa.Metod: Vi återanalyserade data från den klassiska grundade teoristudien om Nuets förnöjsamhet, baserad på fyra års observation och Purpose: Cancer research and connected innovation processes often lack a major component; patient participation. We revisit three studies (a-c) in order to explore how Momentary contentment theory may be used to improve patient participation and psychosocial health.Method: We revisited data from the initial (a) classic grounded theory study on Momentary contentment, based on four years of observat

Vegetation-Climate Feedbacks Enhance Spatial Heterogeneity of Pan-Amazonian Ecosystem States Under Climate Change

Amazonian ecosystems range from rainforest to open dryland vegetation, with a following decrease in biomass along the moisture gradient. Biomass can vary greatly at the ecological transition zone between grass dominated savannahs and the forest. It is not well understood if the transition zone could expand under climate change, and thereby reduce ecosystem stability and carbon storage in biomass.

Metabolic factors and bladder cancer risk and mortality. Studies to approach causal associations and interactions with smoking and genetic variants.

Urothelial bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers in developed countries. It has one of the highest recurrence rates among solid tumors, resulting in regular treatment and follow-up, making it one of the most expensive cancers to treat, and a significant public health burden. Derangement of metabolic factors such as body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), glucose, triglycerides

Effectiveness of Internet-Based Exercises Aimed at Treating Knee Osteoarthritis : The iBEAT-OA Randomized Clinical Trial

Importance: Osteoarthritis is a prevalent, debilitating, and costly chronic disease for which recommended first-line treatment is underused.Objective: To compare the effect of an internet-based treatment for knee osteoarthritis vs routine self-management (ie, usual care).Design, Setting, and Participants: This randomized clinical trial was conducted from October 2018 to March 2020. Participants in

Developing a web-based support using self-affirmation to motivate lifestyle changes in type 2 diabetes : A qualitative study assessing patient perspectives on self-management and views on a digital lifestyle intervention

Aims: The aim of the present study was to explore patients' experiences of diabetes self-management and views on a digital lifestyle intervention using self-affirmation to motivate lifestyle changes.Methods: Semi-structured interviews focusing on needs, attitudes, and barriers to diabetes self-management were conducted with 22 individuals with type 2 diabetes recruited from the All New Diabetics i
