Tracing winter temperatures over the last two millennia using a north-east Atlantic coastal record

We present 2500 years of reconstructed bottom water temperatures (BWT) using a fjord sediment archive from the north-east Atlantic region. The BWT represent winter conditions due to the fjord hydrography and the associated timing and frequency of bottom water renewals. The study is based on a ca. 8m long sediment core from Gullmar Fjord (Sweden), which was dated by 210Pb and AMS 14C and analysed f

A new version of the CABLE land surface model (Subversion revision r4601) incorporating land use and land cover change, woody vegetation demography, and a novel optimisation-based approach to plant coordination of photosynthesis

The Community Atmosphere-Biosphere Land Exchange model (CABLE) is a land surface model (LSM) that can be applied stand-alone and provides the land surface-atmosphere exchange within the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS). We describe new developments that extend the applicability of CABLE for regional and global carbon-climate simulations, accounting for vegetation re

Human genetic variants and age are the strongest predictors of humoral immune responses to common pathogens and vaccines

Background: Humoral immune responses to infectious agents or vaccination vary substantially among individuals, and many of the factors responsible for this variability remain to be defined. Current evidence suggests that human genetic variation influences (i) serum immunoglobulin levels, (ii) seroconversion rates, and (iii) intensity of antigen-specific immune responses. Here, we evaluated the imp

Socialt kapital och självrapporterad hälsa : en undersökning av samband med longitudinella analyser och flernivåanalyser

Sedan 1990-talet har sambanden mellan socialt kapital i form av sociala nätverk, reciprocitet och generaliserad tillit och hälsa studerats internationellt. De flesta studier har dock varit tvärsnittsstudier, vilket försvårar undersökning av orsakssamband. De sociala kontexter som undersökts i flernivåanalyser har ofta varit geografiska områden. Nästan inga studier har använt familjedesign. British

State revisionism and ontological (in)security in international politics: The complicated case of Iran and its nuclear behavior

Despite continuing to be a strong tendency in international relations today, “state revisionism” has been theoretically and empirically understudied. This article attempts to fill the lacuna by further conceptualizing revisionism and subsequently investigating its relationship with ontological (in)security through studying the ways in which revisionist states envision their identities and interest

Mental health and reactions to caregiving among next of kin of older people (65+) with multi-morbidity discharged home after hospitalization

BACKGROUND: Older people with multi-morbidity are major users of healthcare and are often discharged from hospital with ongoing care needs. This care is frequently provided by informal caregivers and the time immediately after discharge is challenging for caregivers with new and/or additional tasks, resulting in anxiety and stress.AIM: This study aimed to describe mental health, with particular re

Immunity or Community? : Security in the European Union

This chapter sets out the argument that the securitization of the EU, in particular through the development of the area of freedom, security and justice, has transformed the EU project, and moved it away from a logic of community to a logical of immunity. These concepts of ‘community’ (communitas) and ‘immunity’ (immunitas) are derived from the writing of the Italian philosopher, Roberto Esposito.

The EU as a Coercive Polity? The Case of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office

In this paper I set out the hypothesis that the EU is becoming a coercive polity. In setting out that hypothesis, I look at a particular area in which the powers and competences of the EU have developed in particularly striking ways, namely the creation of a European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and assess whether these developments show that the EU is, or is becoming a coercive polity. The a
