Coffee production systems are experiencing climate change stress in a multitude of ways. One of the ways in which climate change manifests itself in coffee systems is through the evolution of pest and disease populations. Global coffee production is thereby recognized as vulnerable to climate change, particularly the lives of those that rely on coffee for their livelihoods. Reducing vulnerability
Background: Natural selection can be a potent contributor to speciation, but how exactly this occurs remains unclear. Studying behavioral isolation and the divergence of mating behaviors among multiple isolated populations can help uncover the importance of divergent adaptation in the evolution of reproductive isolation. Here, we utilize common-garden reared virgin Bahamas mosquitofish (Gambusia h
The purpose of this paper has been to examine the ways in which professionals describe their work with pregnant drug-addicts. The paper raises the following questions; · How does the deviant behavior, that using drugs during pregnancy can be described as, affect the professionals in their work with pregnant drug-addicts? · How do the professionals experience their own role, and the roles of othe
The National Archives of Sweden have been given the task of standardising the management of electronic records in the public sector so as to ensure long-term storage and readability of these records in electronic archives. Standardisation is a powerful tool which eases transferability and prevents obsolescence. International organisations, including the EU, have long been producing and managing st
In recent years, forest fires have become more frequent and severe worldwide. Sweden experienced an extreme fire season in 2018, resulting in extensive burnt areas and challenges in fire suppression. With climate change such extreme fire seasons are likely to become more common, highlighting the urgent need for effective fire risk assessment tools. This study aimed to develop a simplified forest f

This study aimed to translate and conduct an initial psychometric evaluation of a Danish version of the TEX-Q in patie
Hippocampal atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging is an important biomarker in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While hippocampal atrophy was thought to result from tau tangles in AD, different neuropathologies can lead to hippocampal atrophy, especially TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology. In this narrative review, we evaluate existing studies on the relative contribution of tau and TDP-43 pat
Leaves are valuable, but very rare, remains in archaeological contexts, as they can provide precise information on the landscape vegetation composition, the past climatic conditions and the use of plant resources in a settlement. La Draga (Spain) is an early Neolithic site partially waterlogged, which has allowed the preservation of organic material. During the excavation of the oldest level (7300
Fundamental characteristics of the reaction-zone structure for CH4-CO2 jets, mimicking a fuel of high CO2 contents such as biogas, burning in a heated coflow on a piloted jet burner have been investigated. Jet flames under diffusion and MILD combustion conditions were studied using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of O-atom radicals and CO for different CO2 contents of the fuel jet. Numeri
