We present The Odonate Phenotypic Database (OPD): an online data resource of dragonfly and damselfly phenotypes (Insecta: Odonata). Odonata is a relatively small insect order that currently consists of about 6400 species belonging to 32 families. The database consists of multiple morphological, life-history and behavioral traits, and biogeographical information collected from literature sources. W

Objectives The overall aim of this study was to aggregate the conclusions of all investigations conducted after suicides reported to the supervisory authority in Sweden in 2015, and to identify deficiencies in healthcare found in these investigations; the actions proposed to deal with the deficiencies; the level of the organisational hierarchy (micro-meso-macro) in which the deficiencies and actio

Exiplexes are a special kind of molecular complexes, which exist only due to a weak bond in an excited state. The theoretical description of these complexes requires the usage of multiconfigurational theory (CASSCF or RASSCF) followed by second order of perturbation theory. Formation of exiplex complex from pyridine and cyano-anthracene has been studied.

To assess the properties of the quark–gluon plasma formed in ultrarelativistic ion collisions, the ATLAS experiment at the LHC measures a correlation between the mean transverse momentum and the flow harmonics. The analysis uses data samples of lead–lead and proton–lead collisions obtained at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV, corresponding to total integrated luminosities of

Global food insecurity levels remain stubbornly high. One of the surest ways to grasp the scale and consequence of global inequality is through a food systems lens. In a predominantly urban world, urban food systems present a useful lens to engage a wide variety of urban (and global) challenges-so called 'wicked problems.' This paper describes a collaborative research project between four urban fo

The exceedingly competitive climate of academia has increased the emphasis on performance-based research funding. In this paper we evaluate the UK's government assessment of research impact and critically comment upon the implications for future research conduct. The key findings are as follows; firstly we provide a summary of UK tourism research impact. Secondly, we demonstrate the effect of the

Realising that human geography has been defined less by its canonical works but rather by its canonical concepts, the current status of the concept ‘rural’ puts a question mark over progress in human geography in terms of how well we have been able to adapt knowledge to reciprocate with societal change at large. As one of the oldest geographical concepts still in widespread use, ‘rural’ stands in

A healthy dietary pattern is associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and reduced inflammation. To explore this at the molecular level, we investigated the effect of a Nordic diet (ND) on changes in the gene expression profiles of inflammatory and lipid-related genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of individuals with MetS. We hypothesized that the intake of an ND co

What does ‘sexual citizenship’ mean in practice for people with mobility impairments who may need professional support to engage in sexual activity? The book explores this subject through empirical investigation based on case studies conducted in four countries – Sweden, England, Australia and the Netherlands – and develops the abstract notion of ‘sexual citizenship’ to make it practically relevan

Objective: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of serous cystadenofibromas in the adnexa. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients identified in the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) database, who had a histological diagnosis of serous cystadenofibroma and had undergone preoperative ultrasound examination by an experienced ultrasound examiner, between 1999

Hur går det till när människor kommer överens om att ha sex? Hur vet de att den andra verkligen vill? Och vad är det som gör att det ibland är svårt att dra en tydlig gräns mellan samtyckesbaserat sex och övergrepp? Samtyckesdynamiker undersöker dessa frågor på basis av ingående och djupt personliga intervjuer med tjugo bi-, homo- och heterosexuella kvinnor och män. Boken tar avstamp i den juridis

Capacitance sensors are widely used in agriculture for irrigation and soil management purposes. However, their use under saline conditions is a major challenge, especially for sensors operating with low frequency. Their dielectric readings are often biased by high soil electrical conductivity. New calculation approaches for soil water content (θ) and pore water electrical conductivity (ECp), in wh

Contributions to the nuclear level density from a deformed core and from surface vibrations are discussed. The influence of symmetries of the nuclear shape is highlighted by quoting and discussing analytic Fermi gas level densities for irregular, deformed and spherical shapes. A thorough evaluation of the rotational enhancement factor to the level density is carried out for 17 well deformed rare-e

Fossils of Orsten- type preservation represented by Skara and Phosphatocopida have been reported from the Cambrian Furongian of Western Hunan, China. Their taxonomy and external morphology are well known, but their internal soft- tissue anatomy has not been revealed yet. With the application of synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy, here we describe the internal soft- tissue anatomy o

PURPOSE: Dynamic glucose enhanced (DGE) MRI has shown potential for imaging glucose delivery and blood-brain barrier permeability at fields of 7T and higher. Here, we evaluated issues involved with translating d-glucose weighted chemical exchange saturation transfer (glucoCEST) experiments to the clinical field strength of 3T.METHODS: Exchange rates of the different hydroxyl proton pools and the f

Carl-Gustaf Andrén minnestecknas med tyngpunkt på hans insatser som universitetslärare, handledare och forskare. Han besatt de egenskaper som gjort honom beundrad och respekterad: klarhet och tydlighet, lugn och saklighet, öppenhet för nya möjligheter, glädje över sin forskning och privilegiet att få dela med sig.
