Dramatic declines of some arthropod populations have recently received a lot of attention. Identified declines have mainly been attributed to changes in agriculture, climate, pathogen prevalence and light pollution, as well as cross-regional effects of, e.g., drifting pesticides. However, the overall picture is complex and debated, and there is a need for systematically collected long-term data, n
Background: The combination of diphenylcyclopropenone (DCP) and anthralin may demonstrate synergistic effects in the treatment of chronic extensive alopecia areata (AA).Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of the combination therapy of topical DCP and topical 0.5% anthralin versus topical DCP alone for the treatment of chronic extensive AA.Materials and Methods: Ten pa
The discovery that the CRISPR/Cas9 system could be used for genome editing purposes represented a major breakthrough in the field. This advancement has notably facilitated the introduction or correction of disease-specific mutations in healthy or disease stem cell lines respectively; therefore, easing disease modeling studies in combination with differentiation protocols. For many years, variabili
Objectives: To study the agreement between clinical axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) diagnoses and fulfilment of the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) axSpA and modified New York (mNY) classification criteria, and to compare disease/health status between axSpA subtypes. Method: Patients with prevalent, clinical axSpA attending a rheumatology clinic were enrolled in a cros
In this article, we analyze the impact of firms’ technology bases on their financial performance. By taking a strategic perspective of technology, we argue that it is not sufficient to analyze only the size or novelty/quality of the technology base as technology bases can best be understood as portfolios of individual technologies. In such a framework, risk consideration should be taken into accou
Wastewater treatment processes are inherently dynamic because of variations in the influent flow rate, concentration, and composition. The adaptive behaviour of the microorganisms further emphasizes this fact. Mathematical models and computer simulations are essential to describe, predict, and control the complicated interactions of the processes. Any attempt to model all details of the various re
The importance of using efficient bases for current expansion in numerical computations of electromagnetic field problems has been emphasized for several decades. It is well known that the basis functions should approximate the physical current (electric or magnetic) to some extent. Moreover, for efficiency, it is reasonably to require that only a few basis functions are needed in order to obtain
As the urgency of addressing climate change intensifies, innovative financial instruments are needed to align capital markets with sustainability goals. This thesis explores the concept of the \textit{transition linker}, a hypothetical performance-linked sovereign bond whose cash flows depend on greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, as outlined in its Nationally Determined Contributions under
Professional judgement is a complex phenomenon to comprehend and is often forgotten when discussing the importance of knowledge use in discretionary decision-making within Swedish child welfare. Therefore, the study had a dual purpose that aimed to foster a deeper understanding of professional judgement in Swedish child welfare; theoretically, the study aimed to explore the meanings of professiona
Although Cyprus and Spain initially emerged as the strongest opponents of engaging with Kosovo, driven by fears over the implications for their independence movements, their practices have since unexpectedly diverged. Therefore, the following research question is posed: What factors explain the differences in Cyprus's and Spain's engagement with Kosovo since its declaration of independence
This study examines and compares how Danish and Swedish authorities strategically construct crisis communication in relation to the Danish drone crisis in 2025. The study takes its starting point in a knowledge gap regarding how public authorities communicate strategically when addressing uncertainty and security-related threats. More specifically, the study aims to examine how crisis communicatio
In light of the current climate- and biodiversity crises, the political interest in peatlands has increased dramatically as these ecosystems hold the potential to address several urgent societal challenges. In Denmark, a political agreement from 2024 aims to restore 140.000 hectares of agricultural peatlands by 2030. The main goal is to reduce GHG emissions from agriculture and decrease nitrogen r
Spherical motion is a special case of camera motion where the camera moves on the imaginary surface of a sphere with the optical axis normal to the surface. Common sources of spherical motion are a person capturing a stereo panorama with a phone held in an outstretched hand, or a hemi-spherical camera rig used for multi-view scene capture. However, traditional structure-from-motion pipelines tend
The conservation community sorely lacks a global indicator of change in insect populations. Given widespread insect declines, addressing this gap is key for conservation and policy targets. We suggest that butterfly monitoring programs can serve as the foundation for an effective global network of insect monitoring. To assess this potential, we bring together an international consortium and calcul
Inland port expansion requires immense investment costs often resulting in dredging and creating a new physical space for production and especially when handling Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs). A floating container terminal (FCT) is an innovation that sets out to change the landscape within what is required to handle ULCV’s. The structure can be placed out at sea where no dredging is requir
The Middle Ordovician of the palaeocontinent Baltica provides some of the best preserved and most diverse acritarch assemblages of the lower Palaeozoic. A great number of widely used acritarch genera and species have been described from this area since the 1960s and many of these taxa are considered as biostratigraphically useful for both regional and international correlation. Here, we document t
Peacebuilding initiatives play an important role in the reconstruction of political, economic, and social conditions after internal armed conflicts. If these initiatives also account for environmental aspects, they have the potential to address both ecological damages and resource-related conflict causes. The sprawling literature on environmental peacebuilding therefore stresses the need for a hol
This paper examines the implications of platforms as a repertoire for knowing and relating the intensities of pandemic restrictions on teaching and schoolwork. Building on platformisation in education, what work platforms do in unpredictable everyday pedagogical encounters is investigated. Specifically, the paper explores a methodological potential with platforms’ capabilities to pull some things
