Soils are subject to varying degrees of direct or indirect human disturbance, constituting a major global change driver. Factoring out natural from direct and indirect human influence is not always straightforward, but some human activities have clear impacts. These include land-use change, land management and land degradation (erosion, compaction, sealing and salinization). The intensity of land
Recently, the RIDL-SIT technology has been field-tested for control of Aedes aegypti. The technique consists of releasing genetically modified mosquitoes carrying a “lethal gene”. In 2016 the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) recommended to their constituent countries to test the new technologies proposed to control Aedes aegypti populations. However,
In this study, we developed a nanoparticle-based mesoporous composite that consisted of silicate-titanate nanotubes (STNTs) supported in hydrogel chitosan beads (STNTs-Ch beads) and was studied for Cd2+ adsorption. By using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopy coupled to an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, we coulddetermine that the hollow STN
Industries and regional economies evolve as a result of the interplay between local and non-local factors. Increasing globalization of both production- and innovation activities implies a shift in the relevant scales of interaction from the local towards the global level. This paper is concerned with the implications of such scale shifts for the role of the region and for cluster-related regional
The aim was to compare two different regimens for children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, hospital-based care and hospital-based home care (HBHC), in terms of the child's metabolic control, episodes of severe hypoglycaemia, the disease's impact on family and the parents' health-related quality of life, one year after diagnosis. The study had a randomised controlled design and included 60 children
Global production rates of metals vary from iron at 1.4 billion ton per year to platinum with 200 ton per year. Resource scarcity starts to manifest itself in rising prices and supply limitations, and metal substitution has been a major argument among economists when putting considerations of resource scarcity aside. Here we investigate the potential limits to metal substitution. Present consumpti
© 2018 The Author(s). Urolithiasis (UL, urinary tract stone disease) has been reported to increase subsequent cancers in the urinary tract. Recently, we showed data that surveillance bias may be an important confounder in the reported associations. In the present approach we want to address the question of possible cancer risk posed by UL mechanistically. Both UL and cancer have strong genetic com
Lipase from Penicillium roquefortii immobilized on porous polypropylene particles was used for enzymatic preparation of 1,2-diglycerides by alcoholysis in organic media. A screening of commercially available lipases showed that lipases from Penicillium species produced high amounts of 1,2-diglycerides from triglycelirles. Reaction parameters such as solvent, alcohol, water activity, and fatty acid
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been studied for their potential benefits in treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and have reported mild effects when trialed within human clinical trials. MSCs have been investigated in preclinical models with efficacy when administered at the time of lung injury. Human integrin α10β1-selected adipose tissue-derived MSCs (integrin α10β1-MSCs) have
Background and Aim: Strategies to modify and adjust the educational setting in mainstream education for autistic students are under-researched. Hence, this review aims to identify qualitative research results of adaptation and modification strategies to support inclusive education for autistic students at school and classroom levels. Method: In this systematic review, four databases were searched.
Advanced preservation injury (PI) after intestinal transplantation has deleterious short-and long-term effects and constitutes a major research topic. Logistics and costs favor rodent studies, whereas clinical translation mandates studies in larger animals or using human material. Despite diverging reports, no direct comparison between the development of intestinal PI in rats, pigs, and humans is
Polyphagous insects rely on multiple cues to choose oviposition sites, including substrate temperature and nutritional quality, which often do not coincide. We examined how females of the invasive fly Drosophila suzukii make oviposition decisions when temperature and nutrition mismatch, and whether infection with the symbiotic bacterium Wolbachia influences these choices. We first quantified femal

Title of paper 1 INTRODUCTION Critical infrastructures and societal functions, such as transportation, telecommunications, health care and energy distribution, constitute the backbone of a modern society. These systems are also heavily in- terdependent, meaning that failures in a system does not stay isolated but can cascade to other systems Hence societal resources must be devoted to safe- guard

The study uses a quantitative methodology to explore the linkages between contextual vulnerability and out-migration in the rural communities of the Indian Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, employing OLS linear regression as its main exploratory tool. Five main findings are brought forward: (1) There is a clear positive correlation between the two variables, supporting the possibility of using vulne
Digital tools and support are used today to facilitate and streamline operations in healthcare. In this thesis a qualitative study is conducted which addresses regional digitalization managers attitudes towards digital dictation and speech recognition in healthcare. The study aims to explore attitudes that affect implementation of digital dictation and speech recognition in healthcare. The empiric
The purpose of the study was to understand how social workers reason about the Convention on the Rights of the Child in relation to the scope for action within the Social Services. The study was based on three questions, how do social workers reason about children's right to have their voice heard in their work, how do social workers reason about children's right to receive information in
Labour markets in Europe are changing from permanent employment to more flexible structures. Atypical work such as temporary work become more prevalent. In Germany, there is a high share of temporary work contracts within social work. The aim of this study was to understand what temporary employment means for the employees and which effect it has on the lives of the employees. The chosen method fo
