Soil disturbance from stump extraction and site preparation will initially lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the soil. This is one result achieved from a series of new experiments established throughout Sweden and is contrasting to what was previously assumed. After one year however, this initial reduction had disappeared and emissions were around the same level for bothdisturbe

En antologi som belyser den geopolitiska friktionen mellan ekonomisk integration och nationell politisk suveränitet i en sammankopplad värld.

We present a case study of a conversation between ourselves and an artificial intelligence-based chatbot ChatGPT. We asked the chatbot to respond to a basic physics question that will be familiar to most physics teachers: ‘A teddy bear is thrown into the air. What is its acceleration in the highest point?’ The chatbot’s responses, while linguistically quite advanced, were unreliable in their corre

The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) is a major disturbance agent in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) forests in Europe and it is estimated that a changing climate will result in more severe outbreaks in the future. To reduce the risk of large outbreaks it is important to have methods that enable early detection of bark beetle attacks to help forest managers to prevent popula

How can cities and communities around the world become more sustainable? What can we do as researchers to help them? As we move through the twenty-first century, these questions assume ever-greater importance. Many of the quickest wins for human and planetary health involve reimagining and reconfiguring cities. Activities that generate negative impacts like air pollution and poor health are concen

With cyber-physical systems opening to the outside world, security can no longer be considered a secondary issue. One of the key aspects in security of cyber-phyiscal systems is to deal with intrusions. In this paper, we highlight the several unique properties of control applications in cyber-physical systems. Using these unique properties, we propose a systematic intrusion-damage assessment and m

In a world where overlapping crises feel less like exceptions andmore like the new normal, the question of how to promoteresilience becomes central. ‘Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Resi-lience and the Welfare State’ examines how welfare state policiescan be adapted to provide sustainable support in times of ‚per-macrisis‘. With contributions from the fields of law, economics,political science,

Repair and replacement strategies using cell replacement or viral gene transfer for neurologic diseases are becoming increasingly efficacious with clinically meaningful benefits in several conditions. An increased understanding of disease processes opens up opportunities for genetic therapies and precision medicine methods aiming at disease modification or repair of lesioned neurologic structures.

At a time of increasing environmental changes and geopolitical tensions, the need for collaboration in the Arctic is greater than ever. Top-down initiatives such as the Arctic Council have contributed to important increased collaboration and science diplomacy. Similarly, bottom-up initiatives have also played a major role in establishing diplomacy among researchers with spin-offs at government lev

We present the CH4 and N2O budgets for anthropogenic and natural sources and sinks of Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) from 2010 to 2019 using bottom-up and top-down methods, in line with the RECCAP-2 initiative, with extensions to 2022. We show that the bottom-up CH4 budget for Australasia (2010–2019) was a net source of 14.1 ± 5.5 Tg CH4 yr−1, with Australia and New Zealand contributing 8

The Tajik health system is characterized by improving health outcomes over the last 20 years, but also major inefficiencies in health care delivery and large difficulties for people to access affordable essential health care. The benefits package (BP) is a key tool for prioritizing state budget allocations toward health interventions that most effectively enhance health system performance. This ar

Shifting the concept of municipal wastewater treatment to recover resources is one of the key factors contributing to a sustainable society. A novel concept based on research is proposed to recover four main bio-based products from municipal wastewater while reaching the necessary regulatory standards. The main resource recovery units of the proposed system include upflow anaerobic sludge blanket

This study investigated the changes in the physical activity of Japanese breast cancer survivors during and after the state of emergency declaration (SOED) due to the spread of COVID-19. Participants were survivors of stage I-IIa breast cancer diagnosed between the ages of 18 and 60 years who wore a wearable device (Fitbit Versa) before and after the SOED period. Outcomes included steps per day on
