Vi undersöker hur biologisk mångfald och ekosystemtjänster påverkas av förändringar i markanvändning och klimat. Kunskapen ska bidra till hållbara lösningar för både natur, miljö och människa. En mångfald av djur, växter och organismer, varav flera är hotade på grund av mänsklig påverkan, är inte bara värdefullt för sin egen skull, utan också för vår överlevnad. Utan de viktiga ekosystemtjänster s

Popular Abstract in SwedishMed utgångspunkt i två forskningsfält – strategisk kommunikation och urbanforskning – analyseras och problematiseras Malmös omvandling från arbetarstad till kunskapsstad. Hur har Malmös förändring genomdrivits? Vilka resonemang och föreställningsramar har styrt omvandlingen? Vilka kommunikativa strategier har använts för att projicera den önskvärda (själv)bilden av en kuIncreasingly cities compete for tourist dollars, shoppers, financial investments, know-how and tax-payers by bolstering the cities images as centers of creativity, innovation, knowledge, art, design and so forth.

Background: Tobacco use and the involuntary exposure to smoking constitute major risks for health and are among the causes of increased healthcare costs. Contemporary hospitals are expected to be an example in tobacco control initiatives such as applying smoke-free environment policies. Method: This case study investigates the implementation of the tobacco-free workplace policy at a health-promoti

We investigated how the legacy of warming and summer-drought affected microbial communities in five different replicated long-term (>10 years) field-experiments across Europe (EU-FP7 INCREASE infrastructure). To focus explicitly on legacy effects (i.e. indirect rather than direct effects of the environmental factors), we measured microbial variables under the same moisture and temperature in a bri

Debate over the future of international science takes place in light of two trends that are frequently interpreted as standing in tension with each other. The longer-term pattern shows that science is increasingly an international endeavour, as collaboration across borders has grown. A more recent apparent re-nationalisation of science, however, raises questions over the march of international sci

Violence against women (VAW), particularly intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence, is a major public health issue, garnering more attention globally post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown. Health providers often represent the first point of contact for IPV victims. Thus, health systems and health providers must be equipped to address survivors’ physical, sexual and mental
