Multiple cropping, the simultaneous cultivation of several crops in space or time, is a global practice essential for intensifying and diversifying agriculture. Despite its substantial impact on environmental and socioeconomic outcomes of farming, multiple cropping is hardly accounted for in assessments of global food production, sustainability, and climate impacts. Such studies, often relying on

Med en ökad användning av artificiell intelligens i olika samhällssektorer har det svenska rättsväsendet börjat implementera automatiserade lösningar och hjälpmedel i sin verksamhet: en maskningstjänst avsedd för anonymisering av sekretessbelagd information och en översättningstjänst till för att översätta domar. Den nationella rättsordning innehåller dock ingen lagstiftning som är specifikt anpasWith the increasing use of artificial intelligence across various sectors of society, the Swedish judiciary has begun implementing automated solutions and tools in its operations: a redaction service intended for anonymizing confidential information and a translation service used to translate judicial decisions. However, the national legal system does not contain legislation specifically tailored

This study evaluated the adaptation of relapse prevention treatment, originally for substance use, to address problematic gaming in children and adolescents. The goal was to understand the feasibility of this treatment in child and adolescent mental health services from the clinicians’ perspective. Six clinicians, four women and two men aged 37–47 with 4–20 years of work experience, were interview

We examine whether culturally transmitted time and risk preferences help explain differences in preventive health care uptake. We combine individual-level survey data from 27 European countries with country-level preference measures from the Global Preferences Survey. To isolate cultural influences from institutional and economic confounders, we focus on second-generation immigrants, who were born

BACKGROUND: Plasma biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease could improve prognostic assessment for people with Down syndrome in both clinical practice and research settings. We aimed to identify the plasma biomarkers that most accurately predict longitudinal changes in Alzheimer's disease-related pathology and cognitive functioning in individuals with Down syndrome.METHODS: This longitudina

The millennial-scale hydroclimate variability in East Asia has been debated for a long time due to the lack of reliable precipitation records from southern China and inconsistent model simulations. Here, we reconstruct a 40-kyr rainfall record for southern China and Taiwan based on enviro-magnetic and clay mineral proxy parameters from a northern South China Sea marine sediment core. Both proxies

Surgical systems are complex and susceptible to external system pressures. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and its impact on elective surgery illustrated this. The reassignment of resources to the acute care of patients with COVID-19 led to cancellations of elective services that varied according to surges of the pandemic. Overall, it was estimated that more than 28 million operations were cancelled or po

Customer Support is usually an expensive service for a lot of companies. At Telavox, a majority of the support tickets are sent via e-mail. A support ticket is sent by a customer, containing a request for support. Support tickets from customers could reveal valuable information. Additional insights can be given by labelling the tickets. Today, employees at the customer support department at Telavo

This qualitative study explores the professional experiences of social workers in psychiatric care, focusing on the emotional challenges of working with individuals in difficult life situations. The aim was to examine how their emotional expressions, strategies for recovery, and organizational factors contribute to a supportive work environment. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interv

This paper explores the changing nature of social institutions and organizations for resource management on Ontong Java and their central role in maintaining livelihoods. Using detailed field data for three time periods, 1970-72, 1986 and 2006-07, and drawing on earlier secondary data, a longitudinal analysis of changes in governance and livelihoods is undertaken. Increased exploitation of marine

Trust-Based Governance and Leadership (TBGL) has been proposed as an alternative to New Public Management (NPM) to mitigate its negative effects on working conditions, service quality, and professional autonomy in public administration. This thesis examines a Swedish municipality seeking to become a national forerunner in TBGL. Based on an interview study, it analyses a municipal initiative aimed

säger, medan mamman tar hand om den mjuka. – Jag förstår att han vill hitta sig själv. Jag ger honom mycket utrymme till det, men jag har också mina gränser. Och tills han är arton år och bor hem- ma hos mig, då får han tyvärr följa mina regler. Finns det något samhället kan göra för att underlätta för pappor i din situation? – Kanske ge mer frihet att uppfostra sina barn. – Idag får barn bestämma

Research has been pointing out that productivity in the building industry is stagnant and in some cases declining. Poor productivity of craftsmen is one of the causes of cost and time overruns on building projects. Productivity of labour is particularly important especially in developing countries where most of the building work is still carried out on manual basis. The objective of this research

This paper examines the continuity, change and adaptation of blat – as a Soviet time, informal, economic transaction network, that existed as a response to a non-functional economy. The analysis is based on 33 in-depth interviews conducted in 2009 during a pilot field study in Ukraine and Belarus. The main focus is on individuals’ descriptions, justifications and explanations of their ongoing info

Plants have a remarkable capacity to adapt to local environmental conditions, which can result in ecotypic differentiation. Patterns of differentiation can, however, also be influenced by the extensive phenotypic plasticity exhibited by many plant species. In this study, we evaluated the distinctness of two putative ecotypes of the parasitic herb Rhinanthus angustifolius. We compared population me

This paper provides an overview of methodologies used for quantitative evaluations of security of supply. The studied material is mainly based on peer-reviewed articles and the methodologies are classified according to which stage in the supply chain their main focus is directed to, as well as their scientific background. Our overview shows that a broad variety of approaches is used, but that ther

This article examines continuity, change and adaptation of blat, a Soviet-time informal economic transaction network, in today’s Ukraine and Belarus. The analysis is based on 33 in-depth interviews, and the main focus is the descriptions, justifications and explanations of on-going informal participation in contemporary forms of blat. Theories on informal institutions, path dependence and the rela

Spatial ecology focuses on the role of space and time in ecological processes and events from a local to a global scale and is particularly relevant in developing environmental policy and (mandated) monitoring goals. In other words, spatial ecology is where geography and ecology intersect, and high-quality geospatial data and analysis tools are required to address emerging issues in spatial ecolog
