Climate warming and heat waves affect reproductive strategies and interactions between submerged macrophytes

Extreme climatic events, such as heat waves, are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity during the next hundred years, which may accelerate shifts in hydrological regimes and submerged macrophyte composition in freshwater ecosystems. Since macrophytes are profound components of aquatic systems, predicting their response to extreme climatic events is crucial for implementation of climate

Modular soft x-ray spectrometer for applications in energy sciences and quantum materials

Over the past decade, the advances in grating-based soft X-ray spectrometers have revolutionizedthe soft X-ray spectroscopies in materials research. However, these novel spectrometers are mostlydedicated designs, which cannot be easily adopted for applications with diverging demands. Here wepresent a versatile spectrometer design concept based on the Hettrick-Underwood optical scheme thatuses modu

Digitalisering och socialt arbete - en kunskapsöversikt

Det finns i Sverige en allt tydligare politisk vilja att katalysera digitalisering- en av offentlig sektor, inklusive det kommunala sociala arbetet. Samtidigt pågår också en omfattande digitalisering av det svenska samhället överlag som det kommunala sociala arbetet har att hantera både på organisations-, handläggar- såväl som brukarnivå. Men hur ser det forskningsbaserade kunskapsläget ut?Vi redo

Rare and low-frequency coding variants alter human adult height

Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with approximately 700 common associated variants identified through genome-wide association studies so far. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor-allele frequencies (in the range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 centimetres per allele (such as those in IHH, STC2, AR and CRISPLD2), greater than ten times the a

Valuing nature's contributions to people : the IPBES approach

Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad methodological steps for doing so. While developed within the context of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), this approach is more widel

On the Evolution of the Determinants of Household Poverty in Mexico : a Logistic Regression Analysis

Mexico, the second largest economy in Latin America, has almost eradicated extreme poverty according to the Millennium Development Goals; however, official statistics show that by national standards poverty levels are still quite high, reaching up to half its population. This paper looks into how the determinants of poverty in Mexico have evolved after the last major economic crisis the country ex
