The current reality is that cities are losing green spaces rather than creating more of them, leading to many urban challenges. Urban nature-based solutions (NbS), through renaturing urban landscapes, are seen as a promising solution to help cities deal with climate change and build a better future for communities worldwide. In Europe, specifically, NbS is also seen as a way of boosting green innov
It is a common experience among children to witness domestic violence, but how much does it affect the child later on in life? The purpose of this paper is to present what happens to the child mentally and physically when domestic violence against women results in the death of a mother and the imprisonment of a father. The paper also presents ways to minimize the impact the event has on the child.
The spread of invasive alien species poses great risks for biodiversity, human health and economies. Impatiens glandulifera, an invasive alien plant which has been listed in The European list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern, is widely spread in Sweden. Multiple studies have been made regarding the plant’s characteristics, spread and impacts on invaded areas. The purpose of this study i
The unicellular green alga of genus Chlamydomonas are well studied within the fields of photosynthesis and flagellar research. Although many molecular tools have been developed for use on Chlamydomonas, little research has been done on its ecology and population dynamics. Species within the genus are morphologically indistinguishable using light microscopy and as such a molecular method is necessa
Based on a combination of morphometric analyses, a chloroplast DNA phylogeny, and multivariate analyses of whole genome sequence data from >300 museum samples, we discuss and evaluate the delimitation, taxonomy, and evolution of wild and escaped taxa in Mentha subgen. Mentha, focusing on the northern hemisphere. Thirteen species (Mentha aquatica, M. arvensis, M. australis, M. capensis, M. dahurica
Obesity represents a global health challenge, with a critical and urgent need for long-term, sustainable management strategies. Tirzepatide is a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. At first approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, tirzepatide represents one of the latest clinically approved and commercia
Background: Obstetrical anal sphincter injuries are complications of vaginal birth that have the potential to cause substantial maternal morbidity. Predicting these injuries might help to improve maternal care as well as antenatal counseling and patient education. Previous attempts to create prediction models have in many cases involved variables only known postpartum, which limits their use in an
Stormwater management is essential for preventing urban flooding and protecting water quality in receiving bodies. Traditionally viewed as a nuisance, stormwater is now being re-evaluated as an alternative resource for non-potable uses such as toilet flushing and irrigation through rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS). Within the European Union's Horizon 2020 project REWAISE, pilot studies with cer
Alternative food initiatives are vital for transforming food systems towards sustainability by challenging, replacing, and complementing the status quo. Understanding how these initiatives contribute to transformation requires attention not only to their intended outcomes but also to the processes through which these outcomes contribute to broader social change. Existing assessment frameworks rare
INTRODUCTION: Previous gene expression analysis have identified fetal hemoglobin (HbF) as a plausible etiological factor in preeclampsia. Free hemoglobin and its degradation products, e.g. heme, are known to cause oxidative stress, tissue damage, and vaso-constriction, typical findings in preeclampsia.OBJECTIVE: To study alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M), an endogenous radical scavenger and heme-binder,
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a system for delivery of inhaled nitric oxide.DESIGN: Prospective, laboratory study.SETTING: Engineering laboratory.SUBJECTS: A standard ventilator (Servo Ventilator 300), supplemented with extra gas modules for nitric oxide delivery.INTERVENTIONS: Two ventilator-integrated gas modules, delivering < or = 10 parts per million (ppm) or < or = 100 ppm of nitric oxide, were used
New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Collagen-binding β1-integrins function physiologically in cellular control of dermal interstitial fluid pressure (PIF) in vivo and thereby participate in control of extravascular fluid volume. During anaphylaxis, simulated by injection of compound 48/80, integrin αVβ3 takes over this physiological function. Here we addressed the question wh
Preservation of protein conformation upon transfer into the gas phase is key for structure determination of free single molecules, for example using X-ray free-electron lasers. In the gas phase, the helicity of melittin decreases strongly as the protein's protonation state increases. We demonstrate the sensitivity of soft X-ray spectroscopy to the gas-phase structure of melittin cations ([melittin
Lack of reliable information on the status of species often leads managers to exclusively rely on experiential knowledge, opinions or perceptions, usually derived from personnel associated with natural resource management agencies. Yet, the accuracy of these sources of information remains largely untested. We approached this challenge, which is particularly common for wildlife monitoring programs
A numerical algorithm is presented for the problem of a crack along the interface of an elastic inclusion embedded in an elastic plane subjected to uniform stress at infinity. The algorithm is based on a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind and allows for fast and accurate solutions to geometries of great complexity. In an example crack opening displacement and stress intensity factors ar
The increasing demand for detecting and quantifying the negative effects on natural habitats caused by anthropogenic activity has led to the development of impact assessment tools. Here, we propose a monitoring method based on the concept of developmental instability (DI) estimated from fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in bilateral morphological traits in a monoclonal strain. The use of monoclonal popul
