Responses in plant and carabid communities to farming practises in boreal landscapes

The effect of organic farming compared to conventional mixed and cereal farming on arable weeds and carabid beetles in boreal landscapes was studied by comparing the distribution of ecological traits, diversity partitions, species richness and abundance. Organic farming increased both insect-pollinated as well as overall weed species richness, whereas the proportion of insect-pollinated weed speci

Role of organic and conventional field boundaries on boreal bumblebees and butterflies

This study examined how field boundary habitat quality and farming system (organic or conventional) affect species richness and abundance of diurnal lepidopterans and bumblebees in boreal agricultural landscapes. The results showed positive effects of field boundary area on lepidopteran diversity, as well as positive effects of nectar flower abundance on lepidopterans and bumblebee abundance. Orga

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and catalytic activity of platinum(II) carbene complexes

A novel platinum complex with 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidenyl ligand has been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, MS, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The XRD determination of the complex (monoclinic, C2/c) revealed a structure in which the platinum (II) centre co

Migration and Transnational Informality in Post-Soviet Societies : Ethnographic Study of Po rukam (‘handshake’) Experiences of Uzbek Migrant Workers in Moscow

The concept of ‘informality’ has become a trendy topic of research in the scholarly literature about post-Soviet societies. The amount of literature focusing on informal practices and networks in post-Soviet space has grown rapidly over last two decades, producing theoretically and empirically grounded accounts of different forms and manifestations of informality, such as clans and regional patron

Assessment of respiratory flow cycle morphology in patients with chronic heart failure

Breathing pattern as periodic breathing (PB) in chronic heart failure (CHF) is associated with poor prognosis and high mortality risk. This work investigates the significance of a number of time domain parameters for characterizing respiratory flow cycle morphology in patients with CHF. Thus, our primary goal is to detect PB pattern and identify patients at higher risk. In addition, differences in

Tractor Incidence on Swedish roads

Compared with other industries, agriculture is the most dangerous branch in Sweden. In 2004,at least one injury occurred on 8% of Swedish farms that resulted in body impairments andconstituted obstacle at work. Beside the injuries that occured on the farms farmers also areinvolved in incidents with tractors and other slow-moving vehicles (SMVs) on the roadsoutside the farms.
