Wintering bird communities are tracking climate change faster than breeding communities

Global climate change is driving species' distributions towards the poles and mountain tops during both non-breeding and breeding seasons, leading to changes in the composition of natural communities. However, the degree of season differences in climate-driven community shifts has not been thoroughly investigated at large spatial scales. We compared the rates of change in the community composition

Relaying techniques for enhancing the physical layer secrecy in cooperative networks with multiple eavesdroppers

Physical layer security has recently attracted considerable attention in the context of information-theoretic point of view. In this paper, we investigate relay selection schemes for security-constrained half-duplex cooperative wireless networks with multiple eavesdroppers, which have the ability to cooperate to overhear the source transmission. The proposed techniques select a trusted decode-and-

The Future of Sharing? A Roundtable for Horizon Scanning on Sharing Cities

Organised on the 16 November 2020, the roundtable on “Sharing Cities – Shaping Tomorrow” focused on sharing insights and ideas on the future of sharing in our cities and communities. The roundtable gathered over 40 people from around world and formed part of the Smart City Live Conference. This report pulls together the conversations at the roundtable and distils the key findings.

Cost and benefit analysis of quality requirements in competitive software product management: a case study on the QUPER model

In market-driven product development, it is important that the software product is released to the market at the right time, and offers higher quality than the competitors. In release planning, the allocation of development effort in investments into product enhancements, functions are competing with quality requirements for limited resources. In addition, it is important to find the right balance

Can foundational economy save regions in crisis?

We perform an explorative analysis of employment patterns in the foundationaleconomy producing mundane everyday necessities and providing welfare services across Swedish regional labour markets between 2007 and 2016. We focus specifically on hierarchical patterns in spatial distribution of foundational activities and their association – direct and through integration with other economic activities

Fostering regional innovation, entrepreneurship and growth through public procurement

Abstract: RIS3 is a policy initiative aiming to achieve structural change. Structural change needs to consider the processes and means through which (innovation) policies can facilitate a radical transformation by substantially changing a regional economy’s competitive bases. In this paper, we are interested in studying how certain policy instruments are actually implemented, and how the capabilit

RIFM fragrance ingredient safety assessment, ethyl 4-pentenoate, CAS Registry Number 1968-40-7

The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment.Ethyl 4-pentenoate was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data from read-across analog methyl undec-10-enoate (CAS # 111-81-9) show that ethyl 4-pente

Dynamic capabilities triggered by cloud sourcing: a stage‑based model of business model innovation

Current research offers very limited insights on the process of how the adoption and continued use of cloud sourcing might trigger and push the development of business model innovation and affect the competitive advantage of a firm. Applying an abductive approach, with two longitudinal case studies of cloud sourcing firms, and a theoretical framework based on stage-based models of business model i

The Phoenix syndrome : Netroots organizations strategies to gain and maintain digital resource abundance

The development of social media challenges the established conceptualizations of resources in social movements. While previous theories largely illustrated social movements as constantly searching for new and more resources, the development of social media has allowed some actors to gather and mobilize extensive resources rapidly, calling for an analysis of resource abundance. The aim of this artiThe development of social media challenges the established conceptualizations of resources in social movements.

Interventions to minimize blood loss in very preterm infants - A systematic review and meta-analysis

Blood loss in the first days of life has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality in very preterm infants. In this systematic review we included randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of interventions to preserve blood volume in the infant from birth, reduce the need for sampling, or limit the blood sampled. Mortality and major neurodevelopmental disabilities were the pri

The uropygial gland microbiome of house sparrows with malaria infection

Birds secrete preen oil from the uropygial (preen) gland which is used to maintain feather integrity and communicate through odour. The uropygial secretion is believed to influence host attractiveness to biting insects, thereby altering the risk of infection by vector-transmitted blood parasites. Previous studies have documented a presence of bacteria in the uropygial secretion; however, the micro

Optimum temperature and chlorine ion concentration for hydrogen peroxide treatment of titanium dental implant material

Hydrogen peroxide treatment is a cost-effective and simple method to improve the bioactivity of titanium implants. In this study, the effects of chloride ion concentration and temperature of hydrogen peroxide on the surface treatment of titanium were investigated using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and tests in order to determine wettability and a

Skräckserier för tjejer : Genrer vi glömt

En översiktlig presentation av av tre äldre skräckserietidningar för en yngre kvinnlig publik: brittiska Spellbound (1976-1978), brittiska Misty (1978-1980) och tyska Vanessa (1982-1990).

Cesarean Section. Impact on Postpartum Recovery, Subsequent Pregnancy and Delivery.

Women are at increased risk of complications after Cesarean section (CS) postpartum and in subsequent pregnancy and delivery. The overall aim of the thesis was to evaluate complications after CS, outline options for their management and to assess strategies to increase the rate of vaginal deliveries after CS (VBAC).Paper I was a prospective study where women were offered to have an additional appo
