The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) faces imminent endangerment due to climate change resulting in the declining population of its primary prey, the European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). With ongoing environmental shifts, this threat intensifies, heightening the risk of extinction for the species. The aim of this study was to explore a potential conservation strategy; the possibility of relocating

Syftet med denna studie var att kvalitativt utforska lärares syn på kunskapsbildning och kommunikation om klimatförändringar med elever i Vietnam, ett land med förhöjd klimatrisk. Med utgångspunkt i Hanoi genomfördes åtta (N = 8) semistrukturerade intervjuer med lärare på temat klimatundervisning. Materialet bearbetades sedan i en tematisk analys med abduktiv metod: delvis datadriven, delvis genomThis study qualitatively explored a sample of teachers' climate change conceptualizations and communication with school students in Vietnam, a country with high susceptibility to major climate change-related impacts. Fieldwork was conducted in Hanoi, where eight (N = 8) teachers were interviewed in a semi-structured format, focusing on the topic of climate change education. The material was ex

Through economic openness, increased capital mobility and the resulting competition to innovate, the globalisation of capitalism ought to increase the wealth and living standards of all involved. However, in order for all to be involved, they must be of value to that economy. That the world lives largely in poverty means that the more the economy incorporates cheap labour, the lower the returns to

Power required to fly for a bird generally follows a U-shaped function of airspeed, with higher cost at both low and high speeds. Because power required increases with body mass faster than power available from flight muscles, larger birds may experience restricted flight speed ranges and climbing capabilities. Previous studies found limited flight performance in cormorants. Adapted for both fligh

-The atrial switch operation Mustard- or Senning operation for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) was introduced in the late 1950s and was the preferred surgery for TGA until the early 1990s. The Mustard- and Senning operation involves extensive surgery in the atria and leaves the right ventricle as the systemic ventricle. The Mustard and Senning cohort is now well into adulthood and we beg

Patients with chronic liver impairment often display symptoms of affective psychiatric nature where the choice for antidepressant treatment is rational. Since caution is recommended when these drugs are used in such patients, a dose reduction is usually performed. We have previously reported that a dose reduction to liver-impaired portacaval shunted rats has resulted in similar brain concentration

Ability to efficiently localize productive foraging habitat is crucial for nesting success of insectivorous birds. Some bird species can use olfaction to identify caterpillar-infested trees by detection of herbivore induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), but these cues probably need to be learned. So far, we know very little about the process of olfactory learning in birds, whether insectivorous species

The use of stem cell derived dopamine neurons for treating patients with Parkinson's disease has now evolved to the first in human clinical trials. In this debate, we argue that assuming these trials give positive outcomes that this therapy will supercede DBS as the neurosurgical treatment of choice for PD patients in the future given it is a one-off therapy that repairs a critical pathway in the
