On the role of terrestrial ecosystems in a changing Arctic

The global temperature rise is proportional to the cumulative amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. This observation is consistent between climate models and historical observations. It has also given rise to the concept of a carbon budget, which sets a threshold for the amount of CO2 that can be emitted into the atmosphere while still fulfilling political goals such as the Paris Agreement.Te

An interrupted time series analysis of gambling behavior based on gambling operator revenue-based taxation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden

Objectives: The impact of COVID-19 on gambling behavior and the gambling industry itself has been widely speculated. Prior studies have shown how boredom, social isolation, poor mental health, and financial hardships, all of which have been associated with COVID-19, can aggravate problem gambling behaviors in patients with gambling disorders while also luring newcomers. Few studies have used metho

Blended and Online Learning Environments : Motivations, Contradictions, and Influencing Factors

Blended and online learning environments continue to grow, transforming higher education. The motivation behind this study is to explore blended and online learning environments, from the perspective of students, through the lens of Activity Theory (AT). Based on 12 virtual semi-structured interviews with Master's (MSc) students at one University in England, the paper sheds light onto some of the

On the osmotic pressure of cells

The chemical potential of water (//h2o) provides an essential thermodynamic characterization of the environment of living organisms, and it is of equal significance as the temperature. For cells, //H,0 is conventionally expressed in terms of the osmotic pressure. We have previously suggested that the main contribution to the intracellular osmotic pressure of the bacterium E. coli is from soluble n

Short Attosecond Pulse Trains at High Repetition Rates for Novel Pump-Probe and Coincidence Studies

This work aims at studying photoionization dynamics from atoms and surfaces at attose time scales. The work was based on development and applications of a high repetition rate High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) light source that utilizes Optical Parametric Amplification (OPA) laser technology. The laser system delivers few-cycle pulses in the near infrared (IR) at a repetition rate of 200 kHz.

Taking Seat

The sound work "Taking Seat" by Robert Willim, could be experienced from a specially designed ‘sound bench’ placed outside Skissernas Museum in Lund. Combining manipulations of words and field recordings the work reflects practices of sitting.What are the forces set in motion by sitting? What are the technologies and techniques of sitting?Anthropologists argue that we have been living in The Sitti

Standardization, IPRs and open innovation in synthetic biology

It is fair to assume that the process of standardization may have a significant impact on the development and adoption of SB. Within SB different standardization efforts have been made, but none has assumed a dominance or authority in the area. Standardization efforts within SB may differ within various technical areas, and also the basic processes of standard creation can be divided into various

The Integrated Use of Dendrochronological Data and Paleoecological Records From Northwest European Peatlands and Lakes for Understanding Long-Term Ecological and Climatic Changes—A Review

Our overall understanding of long-term climate dynamics is largely based on proxy data generated from archives such as ice cores, ocean sediments, tree rings, speleothems, and corals, whereas reconstructions of long-term changes in vegetation and associated climate during the Holocene are largely based on paleoecological records from peat and lake sequences, primarily pollen and plant macrofossil

Progress towards controlling the HIV epidemic in urban Ethiopia : Findings from the 2017–2018 Ethiopia population-based HIV impact assessment survey

Introduction In 2014, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS set an ‘ambitious’ 90-90-90 target for 2020. By 2016, there were disparities observed among countries in their progress towards the targets and some believed the targets were not achievable. In this report, we present the results of data from the Ethiopia Population-based HIV Impact Assessment survey analyzed to assess progress w

Growth of non-English-language literature on biodiversity conservation

English is widely recognized as the language of science, and English-language publications (ELPs) are rapidly increasing. It is often assumed that the number of non-ELPs is decreasing. This assumption contributes to the underuse of non-ELPs in conservation science, practice, and policy, especially at the international level. However, the number of conservation articles published in different langu

Implementation of spatially consistent channel models for real-time full stack C-ITS V2X simulations

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communication is expected to play a key role in enabling complex Advanced Driving Assistance Applications, including the support of emerging autonomous vehicles. The development of V2X applications, especially safety-related, requires rigorous verification. Field trials, though, have to be supplemented with less expensive and more repeatable methods. Thorough V

A Multiphonic Harmonic on the Vibraphone

In this paper, we introduce an unreported multiphonic harmonic on the vibraphone produced in a manner similar to the way that struck harmonics are produced. For the vibraphone, a common technique in contemporary literature features the isolation and production of a single harmonic (h04) in the lower octave. However, through experiments by both authors on different vibraphones, an unreported multip
