QUIC is a UDP-based transport layer protocol developed by Google that boasts lower latency performance than TCP. However, different conclusions have been reported regarding its performance due to variations in targeted applications and experimental setups. This leads to our conclusion that protocol performance evaluation should be heavily dependent on the QoS requirements of the target application
Although invasive species are recognized as a major threat to freshwaters, little is known about how future climate warming will affect the success of invaders. Ecosystems are also often simultaneously impacted by multiple, potentially interacting, invading species and the management of species invasions can be incredibly difficult. Sensitive methods such as environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding,
We studied if hydrogen (δD) and oxygen (δ18O) stable isotope values in three common carabid species in intensively managed agricultural landscapes in southernmost Sweden indicate long-range dispersal. We matched “emerging” (emergence tents) and “colonizing” (pitfall traps) individuals of three carabid species (Trechus quadristriatus, Harpalus rufipes, Pterostichus melanarius) to account for spatia
Recent reports of increasing iron (Fe) concentrations in freshwaters are of concern, given the fundamental role of Fe in biogeochemical processes. Still, little is known about the frequency and geographical distribution of Fe trends or about the underlying drivers. We analyzed temporal trends of Fe concentrations across 340 water bodies distributed over 10 countries in northern Europe and North Am
Retailers are amongst the world's strongest brands, but little is known about retailer brand equity. In spite of their extensive use, we argue that current operational models are too abstract for understanding the uniqueness of the retail industry and too simplistic to understand the interrelationships among the dimensions in the retailer brand equity building process. This study contributes to th
To date, understanding and empirical investigation of the internationalisation processes of university spin-outs (USOs) have been limited. Few studies have explored the role of the specific characteristics of their core technology, in particular their innovativeness, as a determinant of their early internationalisation. This is also an issue which is under-explored within the general international
Background Despite well-established guidelines for managing major depressive disorder, its extensive disability burden persists. This Value of Treatment mission from the European Brain Council aimed to elucidate the nature and extent of gaps between best-practice and current-practice care, specifically to: 1. Identify current treatment gaps along the care pathway and determine the extent of these
Whether sources or sinks control wood growth remains debated with a paucity of evidence from mature trees in natural settings. Here, we altered carbon supply rate in stems of mature red maples (Acer rubrum) within the growing season by restricting phloem transport using stem chilling; thereby increasing carbon supply above and decreasing carbon supply below the restrictions, respectively. Chilling
European VAT and the Sharing Economy aims to understand whether the current European Value Added Tax (EU VAT) system is sufficiently equipped to deal with the ongoing transformation of the supply chain as well as the increasing digitalization of the economy ushered in by the rise of multisided digital platforms. New digital platforms such as those of the sharing economy, have dramatically expanded
In 2020, the IOC proposed a universal methodology for the recording and reporting of data for injury and illness in sport. Para sport is played by individuals with impairment, and they have a unique set of considerations not captured by these recommendations. Therefore, the aim of this addendum to IOC consensus statement was to guide the Para sport researcher through the complexities and nuances t
Little is known about the fate and uptake of nanoplastics (NPs) in natural ecosystems, mainly due to analytical limitations in measuring NPs in complex environmental matrices. Our aim was to quantitatively assess the transport, fate and biological uptake of NPs in freshwater ecosystems by using replicated wetland mesocosms and gold-doped polystyrene nanoparticles. We showed that 97% of the NPs wer
Aims: This study surveyed individuals and caregivers of children who received teplizumab at stage 2 type 1 diabetes (T1D) to garner real-world experiences and their health outlook for the future following treatment with the first approved disease-modifying immune therapy for delaying the onset of Stage 3 T1D. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational, online survey (conducte
In recent decades, changes in vegetation phenology have exhibited a tight coupling with global warming. Mountain ecosystems are particularly susceptible to climate change, with high elevations warming faster than lower areas. The inconsistent rate of temperature change across elevations may lead to synchronization of phenological patterns, reducing the differences in phenology timing between high
Soil protists are increasingly recognized as key players in organic matter turnover, yet their role as direct decomposers (i.e., saprotrophs) remains underexplored compared to that of bacteria and fungi. Here, we synthesize ecological, physiological, and genomic evidence to highlight the potential of protists to actively decompose organic matter and influence soil carbon cycling. We distinguish tw
Introduction: The climate and biodiversity crises are interconnected, unprecedented, existential threats that cause disturbing emotions, such as anxiety, grief, and anger. While there is increasing research about antecedents and outcomes of such eco-emotions, less is known about how to cope with them constructively, to benefit both mental health and pro-environmental action. Objectives: This study
The purpose of our study is to examine what risk factors can contribute to a child/youth with neuropsychiatric disorders developing an addiction to drugs. We also wanted to find out what protective factors can contribute not to develop an addiction. In order to find out these two different aspects we interviewed twelve professionals to get their view upon the matter. The professionals work within

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Småvatten är en svacka eller hålighet som är vattenfylld året om. Dessa småvatten fyller många viktiga funktioner i naturen. De fungerar som utjämnare av flödesvariationer, uppehållsplats och födoplats för många djur och växter och som rena estetiska inslag i naturen, och inte minst som reningsplatser för oönskade näringsämnen så som kväve. Dessa småvatten har iWetlands play an important role in the ecosystem. They reduce the impact of flow flux in the drainage area, acts as upholder of biodiversity, as an esthetic and recreational component in the landscape and they have the ability to reduce nutrients such as nitrogen, and help preventing eutrophication in costal areas. The number of wetlands in Scania have, due to the intensified agriculture been redu
Climate changes have had marked impacts on the natural systems. However its impact will be significant with the hydrological cycle. It is agreed that climate change have adverse impacts on socio-economic development of all nations. But, it is expected that its impact will hit developing countries the worst. The objective of this thesis is to assess the impact of climate change on Gilgel Abay River
