Assessing effects of climate change on agricultural systems and the potential for ecological intensification to increase food security in developing countries is essential to guide management, policy-making and future research. ‘Push-pull’ technology (PPT) is a poly-cropping design developed in eastern Africa that utilizes plant chemicals to mediate plant–insect interactions. PPT application yield
As a major buyer of steel, the construction sector is uniquely positioned to advance the decarbonization of global steel through increasing the demand for green steel. To unlock this potential, deepened international collaborations on green public procurement, climate policies, and trade are needed.
BACKGROUND: Child stunting is a significant challenge for most districts in Rwanda and much of sub-Saharan Africa and persists despite multisectoral efforts. There is a notable lack of population-based studies examining the correlation between violence against women and child stunting in Rwanda.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the association between Rwandan women's exposure to intimate partner
Objective: Various lifestyle factors including smoking, alcohol, physical activity, sedentary behavior, diet quality, sleep behavior, and overweight have been related to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD); however, their joint impact on risk of MASLD is not well known. We prospectively investigated the association between a combination of lifestyle factors and risk of
Goodpasture disease fulfils all criteria for a classical autoimmune disease, where autoantibodies targeted against the non-collagenous domain of the alpha3-chain of collagen IV initiates an inflammatory destruction of the basement membrane in kidney glomeruli and lung alveoli. This leads to a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and severe pulmonary hemorrhage. Previous studies have indicated a
Information about genetic variation has been collected for some 20 years into registries, known as locus specific databases (LSDBs), which nowadays often contain information in addition to the actual genetic variation. Several issues have to be taken into account when considering establishing and maintaining LSDBs and these have been discussed previously in a number of articles describing guidelin

The authors investigated the role of known risk factors in educational differences in breast cancer incidence. Analyses were based on the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition and included 242,095 women, 433 cases of in situ breast cancer, and 4,469 cases of invasive breast cancer. Reproductive history (age at first full-term pregnancy and parity), exposure to endogenous and
OBJECTIVES: We assessed pharmacodynamic (PD) response for the reduced prasugrel 5-mg maintenance dose in very elderly (≥75y; VE) patients. BACKGROUND: In TRITON-TIMI 38, prasugrel 10-mg reduced ischemic events versus clopidogrel 75-mg, but increased bleeding in VE patients. METHODS: We examined PD and active-metabolite pharmacokinetics with prasugrel 5-mg and 10-mg and clopidogrel 75-mg in a three
BACKGROUND: Human diets account for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). Reporting dietary GHGE with or without energy standardization yields different outcomes, often resulting in conflicting conclusions regarding associations with micronutrient intake.OBJECTIVES: To compare methods of reporting dietary GHGE, with and without consideration of energy intake, and their respective associations wi

Föreliggande studie hade till syfte att få en fördjupad förståelse för hur olika KBT-handledare ser på de kognitiva respektive beteendeterapeutiska inslagen i sin utbildningshandledning med studenter på psykoterapeutprogrammet. Undersökningsgruppen bestod av tio legitimerade psykoterapeuter med KBT inriktning, med godkänd handledarutbildning, som handledde främst på psykoterapeutprogrammet vid LunThe purpose of the study presented here was to get a deeper understanding of how different CBT supervisors perceive the cognitive and behavioral components in their training supervision with students in the psychotherapy program. The study group consisted of ten certified CBT psychotherapists with approved supervisor training, who served as supervisors mainly for the psychotherapy program at Lund
As the Internet and various social media platforms become key mechanisms in people’s lives additional stages for self-construction and self-presentation have become accessible. In a competitive job market with a range of possibilities to be heard and seen, people are advised to stick their necks out to gain employment. Since communication has to a large extent become digital, conditions of working
Som musiker är instuderingen av nytt stycke musik något vi kommer att ha med oss genom våra hela liv. Att förbereda något nytt kan till tider kännas skrämmande om det har stora utmaningar som vi inte kännas oss bekväma med och gör i några fall att man fastnar i cirkel av frustration som kan vara svår att komma ut ur. Genom mina år som gitarrist har jag ofta känt att vissa musikstycken är för svårAs a musician, the study of a new piece of music is something that we will have with us throughout our whole lives. Preparing something new can at times feel daunting if it has major challenges that we do not feel comfortable with and in some cases make you get stuck in a circle of frustration that can be difficult to get out of. Throughout my years as a guitarist, I have often felt that some pie

The potential of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been increasingly acknowledged as relevant in intergovernmental policy documents. However, the positive and negative environmental effects of ICTs are widely debated and there is a lack of systematic analysis regarding causal links between ICT and the environment. This paper attempts to bring cla
