Recycling of livestock manure in agroecosystems has been shown to enhance the sustainability of food production and reduce adverse environmental consequences from intensive crop-livestock systems. However, the effect of manure application on the associations between soil quality and ecosystem multifunctionality still remains poorly understood. Hereby, we used a five-year field experiment to invest

Recent studies have shown that dissolved organic matter (DOM) decomposed by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi increases adsorptive properties of organic matter towards soil mineral surfaces. Concomitantly, ECM fungi secrete secondary metabolites with iron reducing capacity that are thought to participate in non-enzymatic Fenton-based decomposition of DOM. The aim of this study was to investigate if the

We have used transmission electron microscopy to determine the morphology of InP Stranski-Krastanow islands in GaInP, grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition at 580 degrees C. We investigated both capped and uncapped islands. It was found that the fully developed islands have the principal shape of truncated pyramids with a hexagonal base both before and after overgrowth.

Agricultural extension, or advisory services, have a key role to play in supporting farmers’ learning and adoption of new practices and technologies. This paper analyses gaps and needs which require addressing in order for extension systems to more effectively contribute to the upscaling of ecological intensification approaches in East African smallholder agriculture. Our starting point is the pus

Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition in response to global change represents a critical uncertainty in coupled carbon (C) cycle-climate models. Much of this uncertainty arises from our limited mechanistic knowledge of the effects of organic C input frequency on SOM decomposition. Based on a three-source-partitioning isotopic approach (14C glucose addition to soil continuously labeled by C4 plan

Land-use practices and their intensity along with climatic conditions alter amounts of soil organic carbon content and consequently influence soil microorganisms. However, land-use management, such as crop residue incorporation to soils has a potential to mitigate losses of soil organic carbon and thereafter promote the diversity of soil microorganisms. To gain insight of microbial functional dive

Introducing a sociological perspective on judicial emotions, we argue that previous studies underemphasize structural andinteractional dimensions. Through key concepts in the sociology of emotions we relate professional court actors’ emotionmanagement to the emotional regime of the judiciary. Examples from the Swedish judiciary illustrate three main arguments:(a) The idea of rational justice as noIntroducing a sociological perspective on judicial emotions, we argue that previous studies underemphasize structural andinteractional dimensions.

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient to production in various agricultural ecosystems and many soils contain large amounts of legacy P that is strongly adsorbed on iron (Fe) and aluminum oxides and therefore poorly available to plants. Here we investigate how much mineral-bound P is mobilized in different cropping systems and the influence of agronomic practices on this process. Root ingrowth cor

ASG Innovation for whom Universitet som en kraft för social innovation Under den pågående flyktingkrisen i Europa har 162 877 personer sökt asyl i Sverige 2015. Integrationen av hundratusentals nykomna till det svenska samhället i de kommande åren är endast ett av flera exempel av utmaningar för samhället som kommer att kräva social innovation, inte minst inom läroverk av högre utbildning.

Popular Abstract in Swedish En cell är uppbyggd av många olika ämnen som är livsviktiga för dess liv. Polyaminerna – putrescin, spermidin och spermin – är några av dessa ämnen. Celler måste ha tillräckligt mycket polyaminer för att tillväxten ska ske normalt: för lite gör att cellerna slutar att dela sig och för mycket kan omvandla celler till cancer celler. Kunskap om vad polyaminer gör och hur The polyamines, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are essential for all forms of life. The polyamine biosynthetic pathway has been shown to be a potential target for drugs against various trypanosomal parasitic diseases. The two main enzymes in the biosynthesis of polyamines are ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC). ODC catalyzes the first step of pol

Cystatin C is a cysteine protease inhibitor, aimed for secretion, as it is produced with a signal peptide. Its target enzymes are thought to be the lysosomal cysteine cathepsins and legumain. Cystatin C has been considered to excert its enzyme inhibiting functions extracellularly, as a defense against enzymes from leaking lysosomes or invading pathogens. It was demonstrated by various techniques,

The widespread use of artificial nestboxes has led to significant advances in our knowledge of the ecology, behaviour and physiology of cavity nesting birds, especially small passerines Nestboxes have made it easier to perform routine monitoring and experimental manipulation of eggs or nestlings, and also repeatedly to capture, identify and manipulate the parents However, when comparing results ac
