COVID-19 has turned our lives upside down. The first lockdown occurred in Italy in the spring of 2020, drastically disrupting people’s daily schedules, work schedules, socialisation, and relationships with co-workers, family and friends. To overcome physical isolation, collect impressions and keep a record of the period, the “How are you?” online questionnaire has been designed as a potential conv

In the last 50 years the role of fathers in western societies as considerably changed, as demonstrated by an increasing body of research in social, human and psychological sciences. Although fathers are increasingly involved in family life, gender equality in both family and working life is still far from being achieved, and socially stressful situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic are exacerbat

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed our lives. The first and unexpected lockdown in Italy has seriously upset people daily routine, working organisation, socialisation and interactions with colleagues and relatives. To overcome the physical isolation and collect impressions, the “How are you?” online questionnaire was created and shared as a conversation among friends. Text mining techniques have be

In recent years, new expectations have been placed on universities, demanding academic contributions towards solving large-scale, interdisciplinary challenges. This is in conflict with existing insights from university governance research, which emphasises that scientific communities focus on reproducing disciplinary practices that are unsuitable in addressing societal challenges, because the prob

Climate change, biodiversity loss and chemical pollution are planetary-scale emergencies requiring urgent mitigation actions. As these "triple crises" are deeply interlinked, they need to be tackled in an integrative manner. However, while climate change and biodiversity are often studied together, chemical pollution as a global change factor contributing to worldwide biodiversity loss has receive

Ur inledningen till temanumret "Covid-19s effekter på arbetslivet":Coronapandemin har inneburit en stor belastning för hela samhället och ett enormt lidande för de som insjuknat allvarligt och för deras närmast anhöri-ga. Smittan kom även att påverka många arbetstagare på olika sätt. Ett ökat tryck på sjukvården innebar följaktligen en större arbetsbelastning på denna yrkesgrupp. Det förkom även e

Hoplothrips caespitis (Uzel, 1895) and Megalothrips bonannii Uzel, 1895 were recorded for the first time in Sweden, and the species are also new to Scandinavia. The species were found in Scania (Skåne) in the southernmost part of Sweden in dry grassland habitat and close to a small river. Two additional species Aeolothrips astutus Priesner, 1926 and Odontothrips biuncus John, 1921 are new to the p

Extending the lifetime of products enables material resource savings and provides an effective resource efficiency strategy within a circular economy paradigm. Although consumer demand for longer lasting products that can be easily repaired has been on the rise, it is not certain that consumers are fully able to identify such products and willing to pay a premium for them. France introduced a mand

AIM: Tenascin C (TNC) is a large extracellular matrix glycoprotein. It is involved in development and upregulated both during tissue repair and in several pathological conditions, including cardiovascular disease. Extracellular matrix proteins play a role in promoting exercise responses, leading to adaptation, regeneration, and repair. The main goal of this study was to investigate whether a short

Agricultural soils are the most important anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. This occurs via two main pathways: (1) from microbial-mediated oxidation of ammonium to nitrite and nitrate; and (2) denitrification. Most agro-ecological models explicitly deal with these two pathways albeit with different degrees of process understanding and empiricism. Models that integrate the impa
