Skogarna på den norra hemisfären har en betydande roll i den globala kolbalansen på grund av deras förmåga att agera som kolkälla. En annan aspekt som gör de intressanta är deras känslighet för tänkbara kommande klimatförändringar där en möjlig följd är ökad störningsfrekvens. Störningar (som bland annat innefattar storm, insektsangrepp och brand) påverkar skogens kolbalans genom att minska upptagOn the night between the 8th and 9th of January 2005 one of the worst wind storms Sweden has experienced took place. The storm caused damage to 270 000 ha of forest and 75 · 106 m3 wood. Due to the great areas affected, this event has a significant effect on the forest carbon balance. The aim of this study includes determining the usefulness of MODIS (moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer)

Many people use conspiracy theories to make sense of a changing world and its ever more complexif social structures (e.g., international financial systems, global bodies of governance), tragic events (e.g., terrorist attacks, man-made catastrophes, or natural disasters), or socio-political and economic issues (e.g., security, migration, distribution of resources, health care). The widespread flour

Since the late 1990s, researchers have been predicting that the era of neutrality in aid politics is coming to an end and that foreign organizations will have to take a more engaged stance. Yet while the boundaries between humanitarianism and development are fading, in some cases the neutrality norm is actually expanding rather than giving way to an engaged paradigm. Recognizing that the principle

For 20 years, induced hypothermia and targeted temperature management have been recommended to mitigate brain injury and increase survival after cardiac arrest. On the basis of animal research and small clinical trials, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation strongly advocated hypothermia at 32-34 °C for 12-24 hours for comatose patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with initi

Våra städer är otroligt sårbara för skyfall. Skyfallen som drabbade Köpenhamn 2011 och Malmö tre år senare blev en ögonöppnare för många. I vår artikel presenterar vi resultaten från en intervjustudie där flera nyckelpersoner i Sverige, Danmark och Norge har fått besvara frågor relaterade till skyfallshantering. Den generella uppfattningen hos de som intervjuats i denna studie är att det saknas st

We are facing a climate and ecological emergency. On all levels in society and the economy, there is a need to work towards climate neutrality and sustainable development. A key way to address global and local complex challenges is through cities. But how can we design, create and achieve climate neutral and sustainable cities? This compendium focuses on how to support individuals and organisation

While the 8.2 ka abrupt cooling event is increasingly recognised as a major Holocene climatic anomaly, archaeological discussions of its cultural consequences have often been framed in terms of societal distress, including the collapse and abandonment of settlements. However, prehistoric communities must have responded in more diverse ways. This paper investigates the site-based socio-ecological a

The Kammu people are mainly rice farmers and live on mountain slopes in northern Laos. The chapter studies the expressives of the Yùan Kammu dialect from the combined perspectives of linguistics and ethnomusicology. Kammu expressives are derived from monosyllabic roots, which each carry the general meaning of those expressives that are derived from that root. The morphological processes involved i

Anterior cord herniation is due to a ventral displacement of the spinal cord through a defect in the dura and/or arachnoid.1 Though the condition is rare, some case reports are available.1-3 The neurological symptoms can slowly deteriorate over several years.3 A Brown-Séquard-like syndrome is the most common presenting neurological finding.2,4 Asymptomatic cases may be discovered incidentally.4 Ho

This paper analyses the growth-inequality-poverty nexus in Tanzania. We provide a unique long-term study covering six decades of Tanzanian independence and disentangle the competing narratives concerning growth, inequality, and poverty in the country. We do this by carefully assessing the existing–and at times contradictory–data on growth, inequality, and poverty and by introducing the inequality

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors on the depolarization associated with severe hypoglycemia, which is commonly preceded by one or a few transient depolarizations reminiscent of cortical spreading depression (CSD). In the cerebral cortices of rats [K+](e) and [Ca2+](e) were measured with ion-selective microelectrodes. NMD

Lignin is the second most abundant naturally produced organic polymer on earth. Lignin‐modifying enzymes (LMEs) are produced by the white‐rot fungi as products of secondary metabolism, since lignin degradation does not provide any energy to the fungus. The main oxidative enzymes include the peroxidases‐lignin peroxidase (LiP) (diarylpropane: oxygen, hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase), manganese per

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to enhance the heat transfer and thermal performance in the trailing edge region of the vane with vortex generators (VGs). Design/methodology/approach: This numerical study presents the enhancement of thermal performance in the trailing part of a gas turbine blade. In the trailing part, generally, pin fins are used either in staggered or in-line arrangements t
