Root exudates can significantly modify microbial activity and soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization. However, how root exudates and their C/N stoichiometric ratios control paddy soil C mineralization is poorly understood. This study used a mixture of glucose, oxalic acid, and alanine as root exudate mimics for three C/N stoichiometric ratios (CN6, CN10, and CN80) to explore the underlying mecha
Water demand growth coupled with its high spatial-temporal mismatch of water resources will lead to an increasing water scarcity worldwide. In order to investigate a robust long-term water stress for ecosystems and regions across China, the improved maximum entropy production (MEP) method was utilized to obtain a reliable evapotranspiration (ET) product during 1982–2015. Afterwards four water stre
This article interrogates the digital storytelling of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy. Drawing on scholarship on state feminism and digital diplomacy, it shows how digital platforms offer opportunities to reproduce narratives of state feminism through storytelling. We propose that digital diplomacy is used to advance feminist foreign policy through emotional sense-making that requires the telling
Warmer or cooler spring in northern high latitudes will, for the most part, directly impact gross primary productivity (GPP) of ecosystems, but also carry consequences for the upcoming seasonal GPP. Spatiotemporal patterns of these legacy effects are still largely unknown but important for improving our understanding of how plant phenology is associated with vegetation dynamics. In this study, imp
This doctoral dissertation comprises three independent essays on information transmission and crisis spillover in the financial markets. The research questions are examined in the context of the foreign exchange market, the stock market and the global banking system.The first paper, The Response of Exchange Rates to Central Bank Communication: A Textual Analysis Approach, investigates how European
Within the broader literature on civil society organisations (CSOs) there are a number of discussions and debates concerning how to disentangle, dimensionalise, and evaluate the complex concept of legitimacy. Scholars have presented different “dimensions”, “components”, and “types” of legitimacy, as well as suggestions for how to evaluate legitimacy based on the “roles” a CSO should play within a
Klimatförändringar framhålls som vår tids stora ödesfråga. En global temperaturökning kommer att få långtgående och svåröverskådliga effekter på hela världen. I denna uppsats krymps dock perspektivet en aning, och fokuserar på hur klimatförändringarna påverkar det svenska skogsbruket. Genom att betrakta den svenska skogsvårdslagen med tillhörande förordningar och föreskrifter ur ett klimatanpassniClimate change has been considered as the great threat of our time. Global warming will have far-reaching and unwieldy consequences for our planet. The perspective of this essay is a little narrower: The area of investigation in this essay is how climate change will affect the Swedish forestry production. By regarding the Swedish forestry legislation from a climate adaptation perspective, this ess
The work examines the problem of interrelation between Internet-based art and its medium – the World Wide Web. It elucidates the ways of how net-artists employ and reconsider the basic qualities of the Internet-medium in their virtual projects. All the net-art works are subjected to the terms of the Web-environment, which drastically differs from the context of real exhibition space or traditional
Mulde Event, under mellansiluriska wenlock, utgör en period med globala störningar i ekologi och geokemi, bland annat ett drastiskt graptolitutdöende. I marina sediment från denna period har ett laminerat in-tervall identifierats i flera borrkärnor runt Östersjöområdet, inklusive Gotland, men intervallets ursprung och bety-delse är fortfarande inte klarlagt. I detta arbete analyseras lamineringen The Mulde Event, during the mid-Silurian Wenlock epoch, represents a period of global ecological and geochemical disturbances, including a drastic extinction of graptolites. Within marine sediments from this interval, a laminated sequence has been identified in several drill cores across the Baltic region, including Gotland; however, the origin and significance of this sequence remain poorly under
Widespread autumn cooling occurred in the northern hemisphere (NH) during the period 2004-2018, primarily due to the strengthening of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Siberian High. Yet, while there has been considerable focus on the warming impacts, the effects of natural cooling on autumn leaf senescence and plant productivity have been largely overlooked. This gap in knowledge hinders our un
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns ett stort behov av molekyler eller reagenser för korrekt och snabb diagnos och/eller behandling av sjukdom. På laboratorier används särskilda verktyg för att ta fram sådana reagenser. Verktygen utgörs ibland av levande organismer, som t ex bakterier och virus, och kallas bioteknologiska verktyg. Ett av dessa verktyg baseras på användandet av en speciell typ avPhage display technology is a biotechnological tool that can be used to obtain molecules/reagents able to discriminate between target molecules. Reagents with such features can be used in diverse settings like biological chemistry, diagnostics and in therapeutic applications. Phage display technology is based on the use of recombinant DNA technology, bacteria and a special kind of bacterial virus,
This study provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of a multimodal journey-planning app on users of informal public transport systems in Cochabamba, Bolivia. We analyze survey data (N=648) collected through the Trufi Association NGO's digital travel app on changes in mobility behavior, satisfaction, and everyday life improvements. Participants report more frequent use of informal transport (49
This article explores the processes that led to the inclusion of psychedelics under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, a cornerstone of international drug control. Drawing on archival records, we analyze the narratives and dynamics that shaped this decision. Despite limited scientific evidence of public health dangers, concerns about psychedelics were amplified by sensationalized mediThis article explores the processes that led to the inclusion of psychedelics under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, a cornerstone of international drug control.

Urban pluvial flooding is a growing climate-related risk in Nordic cities, where short-duration rainfall extremes interact with aging drainage infrastructure and urban form. This study analyses 17 years (2006–2023) of property-level basement flooding reports from Trelleborg, a coastal municipality in southern Sweden, to identify empirical rainfall thresholds and infrastructural conditions associat
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Som ett svar på den förstärkta växthuseffekten föreslogs vid Kyotokonferensen 1997 en handel med utsläppsrättigheter och åtgärder som reducerar koldioxidhalten i atmosfären. De påvisat ökade halterna av koldioxid i atmosfären har uppmärksammat kolcykeln och visat på behovet av en ökad kunskap om den globala kolcykeln. Detta kan uppnås med hjälp av ekologiska modAs a response to the enhanced greenhouse effect International Emissions Trading and Clean Development Mechanism were proposed as countermeasures at the Kyoto climate conference, in 1997. The observed raise in levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased attention on the carbon cycle and claimed the need of more knowledge and understanding of the global carbon cycle. This can be obtained by t
During the last decade or so, most aspects of world politics have become saturated with digital-technological devices and platforms such as smartphones and social media. Yet, practice-oriented International Relations (IR) scholarship has not adequately accounted for the profound impact of this technological transformation on how world politics is ‘done’ within, across and beyond the traditional in
Elevated air temperature and atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) are key drivers of plant physiological and ecological processes. However, their relative impacts on vegetation productivity remain difficult to isolate due to the strong coupling between them. This coupling complicates efforts to disentangle independent effects, particularly under compound drought conditions at regional or globa
Fire is a global phenomenon and a key Earth system process. Extreme fire events have increased in recent years, and fire frequency and intensity are projected to rise across most regions and biomes, posing substantial challenges for ecosystems, the carbon cycle, and society. The Fire Model Intercomparison Project (FireMIP), launched in 2014, has advanced global fire modeling in Dynamic Global Vege
