Transitioning agri-food systems towards increased sustainability and resilience requires that attention be paid to sustainable food consumption policies. Policy-making processes often require the engagement and acceptance of key stakeholders. This study ...

System dynamics and agent-based simulation modelling approaches have a potential as tools to evaluate the impact of policy related decision making in food value chains. The context is that a food value chain involves flows of multiple products, financial ...

Creativity is an important component in education. Modern society with an unknown future calls for creative individuals who develop new ideas and solve problems in a creative manner. Computers have taken over much of the routine work in mathematics and ...

As high latitude regions continue a decades-long trend of warming at roughly twice the rate of the global average, an understanding of their climatic histories becomes increasing important for predicting their future. Organic molecular proxies preserved ...

Theoretical calculations of thermally activated decay of skyrmions in systems comprising several magnetic monolayers are presented, with a special focus on bilayer systems. Mechanisms of skyrmion collapse are identified and corresponding energy barriers ...

Breast cancer is a heterogenous disease in which the mechanism for signalling, gene expression, metabolism and growth in breast tissue is deranged. Breast cancer is responsible for the death of over 600,000 people worldwide on a yearly basis. By ...

The goal of the current study is to throw light on a rather neglected part of Icelandic literary and cultural history: Imagery in early Icelandic hymn poetry. More specifically, it is an investigation into the poet Ólafur Jónsson á Söndum’s (c1560–1627) ...

The morphological and textural features of juvenile pyroclasts record crucial details on magma conditions at the time of fragmentation. Their study is therefore essential to better understand the dynamics of explosive eruptions. Unfortunately, the ...

The field of lower limb prosthetics has advanced rapidly in the past two decades with increasingly sophisticated devices becoming available each year. Nevertheless, function has yet to be fully restored for people with lower limb amputation. Active ...

Timescales of magma transfer and differentiation processes can be estimated when the magma differentiation mechanism is known. When conventional major and trace element analyses fail to distinguish between various processes of magma differentiation, ...
