Background: Despite scaling up of HIV programmes in sub-Saharan Africa, many people living with HIV (PLHIV) are unaware of their HIV status. New testing modalities, such as community-based testing, can improve test uptake, but it is uncertain whether type of testing modality affects the subsequent cascade of HIV care. Objective: To compare linkage to care and antiretroviral treatment (ART) outcome
The characterization of exoplanets and their birth protoplanetary disks has enormously advanced in the last decade. Benefitting from that, our global understanding of the planet formation processes has been substantially improved. In this review, we first summarize the cutting-edge states of the exoplanet and disk observations. We further present a comprehensive panoptic view of modern core accret
BACKGROUND: Most COVID-19-related deaths and hospitalisations occurred among older people. Natural outdoor environments influence health outcomes, but the evidence of their effect on COVID-19 outcomes among older adults is limited. This study aimed to investigate associations between residential natural outdoor environment and COVID-19-related deaths or hospitalisations among community dwellers ag
The key role of tropical forest belowground carbon stocks and fluxes is well recognised as one of the main components of the terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycle. This study presents the first detailed investigation of spatial and temporal patterns of fine root stocks and fluxes in tropical forests along an elevational gradient, ranging from the Peruvian Andes (3020 m) to lowland Amazonia (194 m), w

The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the dynamics and evolution of the telecommunications system of innovation in Estonia from the late Soviet period to Estonia's EU accession, and to provide an in-depth explanation of how innova
Desertification, climate variability and food security are closely linked through drought, land cover changes, and climate and biological feedbacks. In Ghana, only few studies have documented these linkages. To establish this link the study provides historical and predicted climatic changes for two drought sensitive agro-ecological zones in Ghana and further determines how these changes have influ
Forestry is of major economical importance in Europe, and recent devastating windstorms have pinpointed the vulnerability of this economic sector to windstorms. Forest damage is an important economic issue at a country level and may become even of larger concern under future conditions following global warming. An underlying question is to what extent the storm damage is due to changes in the wind
Objective:To compare the diagnostic accuracy of CSF biomarkers and amyloid PET for diagnosing early-stage Alzheimer disease (AD).Methods:From the prospective, longitudinal BioFINDER study, we included 122 healthy elderly and 34 patients with mild cognitive impairment who developed AD dementia within 3 years (MCI-AD). -Amyloid (A) deposition in 9 brain regions was examined with [F-18]-flutemetamol
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi lever i en tid då klimatförändringar är en fråga som engagerar, men det krävs en djupare förståelse för hur och varför vårt klimat har förändrats för att möjliggöra realistiska förutsägelser om framtiden. Efterhand som olika metoder för att rekonstruera klimatförändringar har förfinats, och nya dateringsmetoder har utvecklats, så har förståelsen för hur klimatet föräDendrochronological analysis was applied to subfossil remains of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) buried in South Swedish peat deposits. By cross-dating Swedish bog-pine ring-width (RW) chronologies with corresponding material from North-west Germany, three Swedish RW chronologies were assigned absolute ages and yielded continuous, dated chronologies over the periods 5284-3728 BC and 2668-1108 BC.
Historically, agriculturally induced CO2 release from soils has contributed to rising levels in the atmosphere. However, by using appropriate management, soils can be turned into carbon sinks. Many of the dryland regions of the world are characterised by degraded soils, a high incidence of poverty and a low capacity to invest in agriculture. Two well-proven soil organic matter models (CENTURY 4.0
Objective. When treatments with the potential to change the natural history of a disease are introduced, their longer-term effect on costs and quality of life (utility) has to be estimated using economic models. However, to remain useful tools, models must be updated when new information becomes available. Our earlier models in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been based on functional status, but it
Can a deliberate enhancement of the natural uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide in forests and agricultural lands contribute to the efforts to mitigation anthropogenic climate change? This is a question that has generated a great deal of debate and controversy since the inception of the multilateral climate negotiations in the early 1990s. This thesis offers an analysis of how this debate has pla
Aim This paper presents a probabilistic method of pollen spectra analysis. The method relies on a pollen taxon characterization using biotic and abiotic plant attribute modes, and their occurrence in a given pollen spectrum at a specific site. This type of analysis can provide an interpretation, which can lead to the reconstruction of the biome and, to an extent, of the abiotic conditions at the s
