Ecosystem services are benefits supplied by ecosystem to human societies. In France, recent legislation aims to include ecosystem service in environmental impact studies with the enactment of the Law for the recovery of biodiversity, nature and landscapes (2016). To do so, it is necessary to develop field methods for ecosystem service estimation. In this setting, a collaboration was established be
Lund University is now taking the next step towards a more secure IT environment. To protect ourselves against today's increased threats, secure passwords alone are not enough; we also need strong authentication to log in to our IT services. Currently, this only applies to Lund University staff, not students.Strong authentication is a way of signing in to an IT service that makes it harder for som

The present work reports on testicular hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), the biological significance of which has been documented in male fertility. The HSL protein levels and enzymatic activity were measured, respectively, by densitometry of immunoreactive bands in Western blots, performed with antibodies against recombinant rat HSL, and by spectrophotometry in seminiferous tubules (STf) and inters
How do you take a reliable measurement of a material whose microstructure is random? When using wave scattering, the answer is often to take an ensemble average (average over time or space). By ensemble averaging we can calculate the average scattered wave and the effective wavenumber. To date, the literature has focused on calculating the effective wavenumber for a plate filled with particles. On
15-16th January 2020 at University of Nottingham in Malaysia The subject of unwanted, unruly, or otherwise transgressive sound has proved to be fertile but problematic territory across a wide range of academic disciplines, professional practices, and creative endeavours. At one end of the scale, acousticians and sound designers aim to eliminate and control unnecessary environmental sound, working

Why do conspiracists like QAnon believe this stuff? Perhaps studies of the anthropology of belief can help us. Short version appeared in Focaal blog, August 2021. This version has extended bibliography on conspiracy theory research.
Our planet is facing the largest loss of biodiversity since the extinction of dinosaurs (Chiante, 2016). This great loss will affect our ecosystems which in turn means that humankind and our needs are affected. It is therefore important to know what factors affect the allocation of resources between species. In the future this will decide how the conservation work for different species will turn o
Until recently, sensitivity to the polarization of light had not been scrutinized in the context of flower choice in bees. In 2014, it was demonstrated that buff-tailed bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) could learn to distinguish between two artificial “flower” targets presenting patterns of different polarization angle orientations over 100 choices, but only when the polarization cue was in view of
Oral anticoagulation is the recommended treatment for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. Notwithstanding, many patients are treated with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as monotherapy. Our objective was to investigate if atrial fibrillation patients benefit from ASA as monotherapy for stroke prevention. Retrospective study of patients with a clinical diagnosis of atrial fibrillatio
Background: Fast-track (FT) programmes represent a series of multimodal concepts that may reduce surgical stress and speed up convalescence after surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate FT programmes for patients undergoing hepatopancreatic surgery. Methods: PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies of FT vs. conventional recovery strategies for
A binocular eye tracker needs to be accurate to enable the determination of vergence, distance to the binocular fixation point and fixation disparity. These measures are useful in e.g. the research fields of visual perception, binocular control in reading and attention in 3D. Are binocular pupil-based video eye trackers accurate enough to produce meaningful binocular measures? Recent research reve
Recent studies identified gender role attitudes as a determinant of the remaining gender gap in labor force participation. In this study, I will investigate the correlations between women’s gender role attitudes and female labor force participation in the European Union. Further, I examine the heterogeneity of the relationship between mother’s gender role attitudes and labor force participation ac
Aims: Experimental evidence suggests an important role for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and its generating enzymes sphingosine kinase 1/2 (SphK1/2) in obesity. We and others have shown that plasma S1P levels are elevated in obese mice and humans. Preclinical studies suggest that genetic SphK2 ablation in mice protects from age- and diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction. We aimed at inves
Understanding the molecular details of bioenergetic processes is fundamentally important. Defects in the mitochondrial energy metabolism can lead to untimely apoptosis and thus cause serious degenerative human diseases. Other defects in mitochondrial energy metabolism can have the reverse effect and cause cell immortality and also contribute to and high metastatic potential of tumor cells. Knowi
