Oil palm expansion results in a loss of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. However, there are factors that influence the severity of these impacts and enhancing biodiversity within plantations is important. In the present study, we examined the role of epiphytes for supporting arthropod communities in oil palm plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia. We considered the effects of landscape c

Aims: The objectives of this study are to describe our technique in meningomyelocele (MMC) repair, analyzing the results and complications, as well as to study the effect of delay in operation on the complication rate. Patients and Methods: Between March 1997 and October 2012, 48 patients with MMC were treated at Jordan University Hospital by a combined neurosurgical and plastic surgical team. Pat

The amount of installed wind power varies significantly across municipalities although the financial support for wind power production and the technology available is identical in all Swedish municipalities. This study analyses how local differences between municipalities, such as local wind prerequisites and socioeconomic conditions, might explain the establishment of wind power. The analysis is

In international research there is a near consensus that the importance of cities is growing. As the policymakers of contemporary cities redirect their policy orientations away from the goal of redistribution towards achieving economic competitiveness, and as they introduce new structures of governance, they are becoming more and more committed to entrepreneurial city politics. However, both the i

The outbreak of COVID-19 plunged the world economy into a pandemic with severe consequences. However, the pandemic may very well have been a blessing in disguise for the mitigation of another killer: ambient air pollution. This study investigates how the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in India affected the ambient air pollution concentrations in a sample of Indian cities. Based on air pollution da

This is an explorative and, at times, tentative text on the potential meanings and uses of the concept Existential Sustainability in social work and social work research. The overall argument is that to create a positive change in the lives of people in general, service users more specifically, and to sustain such change over time, it is necessary to acknowledge an existential dimension and existe

Förorenar Arktiska samhällen sig själva och påverkas marina organismer i samband med detta? Ja, bara i Adventfjorden och Grønfjorden på Svalbard finns förorening från lokala källor för 14 av 57 analyserade flamskydds- och ytbehandlingsämnen i sediment. Inte så mycket tänker kanske du? Men den största anledningen till förekomsten av dessa ämnen är utsläpp av orenat avloppsvatten och läckage från sMost of the ecotoxicological research conducted in the Arctic until today has focused on long range transport of pollutants, while fewer studies on local pollution have been published. The aim of this study was hence to investigate if local pollution of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) occurs outside tw

This thesis studies the flood risks in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia, focusing on the Kali Belik River area, and explores the regulations and design principles aimed at enhancing flood risk reduction and management in the city. The discussion begins at the global level, analysing frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and transitions to the local level, assessing the cha

The objective of this thesis has been to explore the potential for expansion of wind power in Serbia, through analysis of the key drivers and barriers for further development. This has been done primarily through literature review and semi-structured interviews. After elaborating on the institutional setting and national legal framework, this thesis examines international circumstances that impact

Context. Satellite galaxies experience multiple physical processes when interacting with their host halos, often leading to the quenching of star formation. In the Local Group, satellite quenching has been shown to be highly efficient, affecting nearly all satellites except the most massive ones. While recent surveys study Milky Way-analogs to assess how representative our Local Group is, the domi

Background: 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) affects immune function, bone health, and reproduction. The precursor of 25(OH)D3, vitamin D3, is synthesized upon ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure, the levels of which vary. Methods: In a one-year observational study, we used multiple statistical approaches to examine 25(OH)D3 metabolism and UV exposure in 217 healthy men (aged 30–50 years) not using

BACKGROUND: A growing literature finds that adult mental health worsens during economic downturns. Current insights on the relationship between macroeconomic fluctuations and psychotropic medication are based on self-reported information or aggregate measures on prescriptions. This study assesses the relationship between local macroeconomic conditions and individual use of psychotropic medication
