Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Cascade Responses of Microbial Communities To Alcohols and Organic Acids in a Marine Microcosm ExperimentNARA Subscribed
Alcohols and organic acids are major energy-rich components of sewage, and marine environments are significant recipients of these pollutants. However, their effects on marine microbial communities remain poorly understood. Recent theoretical models suggest that high energy inputs can disrupt microbial networks that have evolved under energy-limited conditions. The aim of our study was to determine the community-level effects...
Storms Are an Important Driver of Change in Tropical ForestsNARA Subscribed
Tropical forest dynamics and composition have changed over recent decades, but the proximate drivers of these changes remain unclear. Investigations into these trends have focused on increasing drought stress, CO 2 , temperature, and fires, whereas convective storms are generally overlooked. We argue that existing literature provides clear support for the importance of storms as drivers of forest change. We reanalyze the large...
The ocean plays an essential role in regulating Earth’s climate, influencing weather conditions, providing sustenance for large populations, moderating anthropogenic climate change, encompassing massive biodiversity, and sustaining the global economy. Human activities are changing the oceans, stressing ocean health, threatening the critical services the ocean provides to society, with significant consequences for human well-be...
Since the first Global Energy and Water Exchanges cloud assessment a decade ago, existing cloud property retrievals have been revised and new retrievals have been developed. The new global long-term cloud datasets show, in general, similar results to those of the previous assessment. A notable exception is the reduced cloud amount provided by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Scien...
CIDP: Analysis of Immunomarkers During COVID-19 mRNA-Vaccination and IVIg-Immunomodulation: An Exploratory StudyNARA Subscribed
Availability of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine for patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) raises the question of whether COVID-19 mRNA vaccine influences disease activity or IVIg-mediated immunomodulation in CIDP. In this exploratory study, blood samples of CIDP patients on IVIg treatment were longitudinally analyzed before and after vaccination with a COVID...
Mental illness rates among employees with fixed-term versus permanent employment contracts: a Danish cohort studyNARA Subscribed
Purpose It has been hypothesized that employment in a fixed-term instead of permanent contract position is associated with an increased risk of development of mental health problems. The present study aimed at estimating rate ratios between fixed-term and permanent employees in the Danish labor force, for use of psychotropic drugs and psychiatric hospital treatment due to mood, anxiety or stress-related disorders, respectively...
Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such habitats contribute to storage of organic carbon (Blue Carbon – BC) and support coastal protection, biodiversity and water quality. Protection and restoration of these habitats therefore have the potential to deliver climate change mitigation and co-benefi...
Simultaneously enhancing ecosystem services provided by biodiversity below and above ground is recommended to reduce dependence on chemical pesticides and mineral fertilisers in agriculture. However, consequences for crop yield have been poorly evaluated. Above ground, increased landscape complexity is assumed to enhance biological pest control, whereas below ground, soil organic carbon is a proxy for several yield‐supporting...
Carbon Dioxide-Mediated Generation of Hybrid Nanoparticles for Improved Bioavailability of Protein Kinase InhibitorsNARA Subscribed
Purpose A versatile methodology is demonstrated for improving dissolution kinetics, gastrointestinal (GI) absorption, and bioavailability of protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs). Methods The approach is based on nanoparticle precipitation by sub- or supercritical CO 2 together with a matrix-forming polymer, incorporating surfactants either during or after nanoparticle formation. Notably, striking synergistic effects between hybrid...
