Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have been largely disconnected. Networking is essential to discover the answers to questions that transcend borders and the horizons of funding agencies. Here we show how a global commun

Då psykisk ohälsa i dagsläget är den vanligaste sjukskrivningsorsaken bland akademiker i Sverige var syftet med denna uppsats att undersöka om förändring i arbetssätt påverkade de anställdas självskattning av motivation, tillfredsställelse av grundläggande psykologiska behov och psykologiskt välmående. Förändringen innebar att anställda gick från enskilt arbete till teamarbete med Kanban som metodThe most common reason for sick leave amongst academics in Sweden today is mental illness.
