Fungi are among the most diverse and ecologically important kingdoms in life. However, the distributional ranges of fungi remain largely unknown as do the ecological mechanisms that shape their distributions1,2. To provide an integrated view of the spatial and seasonal dynamics of fungi, we implemented a globally distributed standardized aerial sampling of fungal spores3. The vast majority of oper
While scholars have explored how business has increasingly been involved in socio-political issues (Scherer et al., 2016; van der Meer & Jonkman, 2021), less attention has been given to the process of how businesses are held accountable for those issues by stakeholders (Reinecke & Ansari, 2016). Current studies show that multinational corporations are sometimes forced to take a stand on di
A global larger foraminiferal turnover (LFT), first identified in the Pyrenees in 1960, occurred around the Paleocene-Eocene boundary. It is characterized by the replacement of Paleocene assemblages dominated by Glomalveolina and Lockhartia (west and east Tethys, respectively), with others typified by Eocene Alveolina and Nummulites. Its relationship with the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM
Airlines face significant challenges when it comes to sustainability. Globally, the airline industry is responsible for 2% of global emissions and, unfortunately, this number is only increasing (Air New Zealand, 2018). This makes aviation a key actor when attempting to meet the targets published by the IPCC of keeping the global average temperatures below 2°C of pre-industrial levels (IPCC, 2014).
Background.The role of schools in providing community-based support for children's mental health and well-being is widely accepted and encouraged. Research has mainly focused on designing and evaluating specific interventions and there is little data available regarding what provision is available, the focus and priorities of schools and the professionals involved in providing this support. The cu
Bacterial ice-nucleating particles (INP) have the ability to facilitate ice nucleation from super-cooled cloud droplets at temperatures just below the melting point. Bacterial INP have been detected in cloud water, precipitation, and dry air, hence they may have an impact on weather and climate. In modeling studies, the potential impact of bacteria on ice nucleation an
The world is facing of a number of great challenges as the population is growing and living habits are getting more resource demanding. At the same time as food security has to be assured, growth in biofuel and meat production pose a risk for increasing land use conflicts and negative environmental consequences. In this report production of food, feed and biofuels are discussed from a land use pe
Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning Mänskliga aktiviteter och klimatförändringar påverkar vegetationen över hela jorden, idag och i framtiden. Denna påverkan kan studeras och kvantifieras med hjälp av observationer från satelliter vilka förmedlar information om vegetationsförändringar i tid och rum. I denna doktorsavhandling har metoder för analys av vegetationsförändringar utvecklats och Abstract This thesis aims to advance the analysis of nonlinear trends in time series of vegetation data from Earth observation satellite sensors. This is accomplished by developing fast, efficient methods suitable for large volumes of data. A set of methods, tools, and a framework are developed and verified using data from regions containing vegetation change hotspots. First, a polynomial-fittin
The aim of this study was to assess prospectively the long-term outcome in a representative sample of teenage-onset anorexia nervosa (AN) in respect of psychiatric disorders and overall outcome. Fifty-one AN cases, recruited by community screening, with a mean age of onset of 14 years, was contrasted with 51 matched comparison cases at a mean age of 24 years (10 years after AN onset). All 102 case
Baltoskandien utgör en del av paleokontinenten Baltica, vilken mestadels var täckt av ett grunt epeiriskt hav under den ordoviciska tidsperioden (ca 485,5–444 Ma). Detta uråldriga hav efterlämnade en tunn lagerföljd av sedimentära bergarter. Under tidig–mellanordovicium (ca 485,5–457,5 Ma) befann sig Baltica vid tempererade breddgrader på södra halvklotet och kallvattenkarbonater bildades över stoThe Baltoscandian region forms part of the paleocontinent Baltica, which was largely covered by a shallow epeiric sea throughout much of the Ordovician (c. 485.5–444 Ma). This ancient sea is today recorded by a thin succession of sedimentary rocks. During the Early–Middle Ordovician (c. 485.5–457.5 Ma), Baltica was situated in mid-latitudes on the southern hemisphere and cool-water carbonates form
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) post-adoption stages (use and value) and small and medium enterprises (SME) are of high interest among both academics and practitioners. Grounded in the diffusion of innovation theory to explain ERP use and resource-based view theory to explain ERP value the authors postulate that use is an important link to value. The authors propose and test a model using a uni
Agriculture is necessary for providing nutrition to a growing global population. However, many unsustainable agricultural practices contribute to climate change, cause local pollution and disrupt natural biological and nutrient cycles. Conservation agriculture (CA) is one of the many practices that have been proposed to meet the challenge of sustainable agricultural production. CA aims to restore
In today's society, a third of all food that is produced globally goes to waste. The waste is not only an economic loss, but also a waste of natural resources in an already strained global climate. The problem with food waste is getting more recognized and different solutions are currently being discussed on a global level. This paper emanates from the new French legislation regarding the ban
Purpose – This paper attempts to improve our understanding of strategic asymmetric alliance formation within the field of entrepreneurship. We employ previous research findings on alliance formation and power relationships to examine the alliance formation tactics of startups. Accordingly, we aim to answer the question: ‘How do entrepreneurs build ties with comparably larger and more established c
BACKGROUND: Trauma causes significant global burden of disease. Trauma life support training programmes aim to improve early trauma care, but little is known about their effects on patient outcomes.METHODS: We conducted a systematic review using keywords and medical subject headings (MeSH-terms) related to trauma life support training in seven online databases: Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Sc
Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a key indicator of kidney function, typically estimated using creatinine or cystatin C. When cystatin-C-based eGFR is markedly lower than creatinine-based eGFR, this discrepancy may reflect a selective impairment in the filtration of medium-sized molecules, referred to as Shrunken Pore Syndrome (SPS), or more broadly, Selective Glomerular Hypofiltrat
