Vascular plant observances were compiled for 10 well-documented parishes in Scania, southernmost Sweden, from published floras, herbarium specimens, modern inventories, and a large citizen-science database to provide decade-level presence/absence data of species throughout the period 1800–2020. Species-specific plant traits and ecological indicator values were then used to examine functional and e

Sjötrafik har alltid haft en stor betydelse för vårt samhälle genom att transportera gods och människor mellan och inom länder. Transporter till sjöss har stora fördelar associerat till relativt låga klimatutsläpp och transportkostnader. Tyvärr medför sjötrafik även en negativ påverkan på vår miljö. Den negativa påverkan kan till exempel bestå av utsläpp av luftföroreningar, tömning av ballastvatt

Typhoid fever continues to be a health challenge in low-and middle-income countries where access to clean water and sanitation infrastructure is scarce. The non-confirmatory diagnostic method continues to hinder effective diagnosis and treatment, ensuring in a high antimicrobial resistance. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence and antimicrobial susceptib

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the associations of total sleep time (TST) and occupational stress based on the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ) with cholesterol levels in an occupational cohort of Japanese office workers. METHODS: The present study is a secondary analysis of a subset of participants from a randomized controlled trial. Participants were 179 employees from 5

Cassava is a vital food-security crop in Sub-Saharan Africa. Cassava crops are, however, severely affected by viral diseases transmitted by members of the whitefly species complex Bemisia tabaci. We have here investigated the role of olfaction in host selection behavior of the cassava whitefly B. tabaci SSA-ESA biotype. Surprisingly, we find that the whiteflies appear to make little use of olfacti

Radical excision of periorbital skin tumors is difficult without sacrificing excessive healthy tissue. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is an emerging non-invasive biomedical imagi­­ng modality that has potential for intraoperative micrographic control of surgical margins. This is the first study to assess the feasibility of PA imaging for the detection of periocular skin cancer. Eleven patients underwe

The recent finding of the flea beetle species Podagrica fuscicornis (Linné, 1767) in a commercial market garden at Ystad just off the south coast of Skåne (Scania), the southernmost province of Sweden, is discussed. The species was found in August 2010 residing on plants of Lavatera cashmeriensis (Malvaceae), the follwing years in numbers. Old literature records from Sweden of the species (e.g. Gy
