- Background: NEOSS® (Neoss Ltd., Harrogate, UK) dental implant system was introduced on the clinical arena in 2003. It is important that novel implant systems are systematically evaluated in a multicenter setting. Purpose: The aim of this study was to follow a large number of consecutively treated patients, with NEOSS dental implant system, both clinically and radiographically. The current report constitutes the 1-year data of a planned 5-year study. Materials and Methods: The study included a total of 177 patients treated with 590 NEOSS implants at 13 clinics in Sweden. The material was composed of 72 males and 105 females treated for single, partial, and total edentulism. Clinical, radiographic, and subjective evaluations were performed. Results: Out of 590 implants, 13 early failures have been reported, corresponding to a 1-year cumulative survival rate (CSR) of 97.8%. Evaluation of function and esthetics at the 1-year visit resulted in 100% success for function and 98% success for the esthetic outcome. The mean marginal bone loss was 0.6mm (SD 1.1) after 1year in clinical function. No adverse effects of the NEOSS dental implants were reported, and complications were few and similar to those reported for implant treatment in general. Conclusion: The CSR in the present study was 97.8%. No adverse effects of the NEOSS implants were reported, and complications during the study period were few and similar to those reported to for other well-documented implants system. Based on the present data, we conclude that NEOSS dental implant is a safe and predictable implant system. However, the high number of dropouts in the radiological evaluation must be considered when interpreting the data.

Mångreligiositet och sekularitet i svenskt polisväsende, vård, skola och offentlig förvaltning : en forskningsöversikt
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under de senaste decennierna har Sverige genomgått stora demografiska och politiska förändringar. Tillsammans har dessa inneburit att Sverige idag samtidigt är ett av Europas mest sekulariserade och mest mångreligiösa länder. Den snabba demografiska förändring Sverige har genomgått har ställt många inför nya, stora och i vissa fall skyndsamma kunskapsbehov samtidigt är forskningen om situationen delvis eftersatt. I denna rapport identifieras hur den nya situationen relaterar till det lagstadgade uppdrag som svenskt polisväsende, vård, skola och offentlig förvaltning har. Den forskning som gjorts inom dessa områden sammanfattas och de viktigaste forskningsbehoven identifieras.

- Soils store about four times as much carbon as plant biomass(1), and soil microbial respiration releases about 60 petagrams of carbon per year to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide(2). Short-term experiments have shown that soil microbial respiration increases exponentially with temperature(3). This information has been incorporated into soil carbon and Earth-system models, which suggest that warming-induced increases in carbon dioxide release from soils represent an important positive feedback loop that could influence twenty-first-century climate change(4). The magnitude of this feedback remains uncertain, however, not least because the response of soil microbial communities to changing temperatures has the potential to either decrease(5-7) or increase(8,9) warming-induced carbon losses substantially. Here we collect soils from different ecosystems along a climate gradient from the Arctic to the Amazon and investigate how microbial community-level responses control the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration. We find that the microbial community-level response more often enhances than reduces the mid-to long-term (90 days) temperature sensitivity of respiration. Furthermore, the strongest enhancing responses were observed in soils with high carbon-to-nitrogen ratios and in soils from cold climatic regions. After 90 days, microbial community responses increased the temperature sensitivity of respiration in high-latitude soils by a factor of 1.4 compared to the instantaneous temperature response. This suggests that the substantial carbon stores in Arctic and boreal soils could be more vulnerable to climate warming than currently predicted.

- Diatoms and copepods are main actors in marine food webs. The prey-predator interactions between them affect bloom dynamics, shape marine ecosystems and impact the energy transfer to higher trophic levels. Recently it has been demonstrated that the presence of grazers may affect the diatom prey beyond the direct effect of grazing. Here, we investigated the response of the chain-forming centric diatom Skeletonema marinoi to grazer cues, including changes in morphology, gene expression and metabolic profile. S. marinoi cells were incubated with Calanus finmarchicus or with Centropages typicus and in both cases responded by reducing the chain length, whereas changes in gene expression indicated an activation of stress response, changes in the lipid and nitrogen metabolism, in cell cycle regulation and in frustule formation. Transcripts linked to G protein-coupled receptors and to nitric oxide synthesis were differentially expressed suggesting involvement of these signalling transduction pathways in the response. Downregulation of a lipoxygenase in the transcriptomic data and of its products in the metabolomic data also indicate an involvement of oxylipins. Our data contribute to a better understanding of the gene function in diatoms, providing information on the nature of genes implicated in the interaction with grazers, a crucial process in marine ecosystems.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Methods for control of couch grass (Elymus repens L.) with reduced tillage and cover crops to achieve low risk of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) leaching were investigated. Treatments with reduced post-harvest tillage (one or two passes with duckfoot cultivator), hoeing between rows in combination with a cover crop, and a cover crop mown twice during autumn were compared with treatments with conventional disc cultivation and the control without tillage or cover crop. The study was conducted on a sandy soil in Sweden with measurements of N and P leaching. A 2-year experimental protocol was used, repeated twice. Treatments were implemented in the first year, and effects on couch grass (shoot density, shoot and rhizome biomass) were measured during autumn and in the second year. Significant effects of a single duckfoot cultivation and cover crop strategies were observed on couch grass shoot density in autumn but persistent effects were not verified. In conclusion, a single cultivation after harvest instead of repeated reduced the risk of N leaching and a cover crop in combination with hoeing or mowing effectively reduced it. Repeated cultivations resulted in mean annual N leaching of 26 kg N ha−1 compared with 20 kg in the treatment with one cultivation, 17 kg in the control, 16 and 12 kg in cover crop treatments with mowing and hoeing, respectively. The P leaching was small (0.04–0.09 P ha−1 year−1), but there were indications of increased P drainage water concentrations in the treatment with a cover crop which was mown. © 2015, The Author(s).

Mellangrödor i växtföljden - för kolinlagring och effektivt kväveutnyttjande
- 2023
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapporten beskriver mellangrödors funktion för kolinlagring i jordbruksmark i relation till andra funktioner och miljörisker. Den består av en kunskapsgenomgång, en inventering av data från fältförsök samt en sammanfattning av odlares erfarenheter vid en workshop. Vår definition av mellangröda är: En gröda som har sin huvudsakliga tillväxt mellan två huvudgrödor, och där syftet med att odla mellangrödan kan variera.Mellangrödan ger kolinlagring, särskilt rötternaKolinlagringen av en mellangröda har uppskattats till ca 320 kg kol i medeltal per ha och år, men variationen är stor. Vi sammanställde resultat från fältförsök med mellangrödor under 30 år. För insådda gräsfånggrödor skiljer sig biomassaproduktionen i medeltal inte så mycket åt mellan olika regioner, medan variationen är större för eftersådda mellangrödor. Det saknas kunskap för att kunna ge konkreta råd om hur artval och jordbearbetningsstrategier m.m. för mellangröda kan användas för att optimera stabiliseringsprocesserna för kol i marken. Mellangrödans rötter bidrar med ca 2,5 gånger större inlagring än den ovanjordiska grönmassan. Mätningar vi funnit visar en stor variation i viktförhållandet mellan skott och rot, som beror på arters variation, men också på osäkerheter i provtagning och metoder.Utmaningar för odlarnaBåde försök och odlares erfarenheter vittnar om utmaningar med sådd av mellangrödor efter skörd, särskilt på jordar med hög lerhalt. Det handlar om att hinna så direkt efter huvudgrödans skörd för att lyckas med etableringen och för att utnyttja hösten för tillväxt. Att ge sådd av mellangrödan lika hög prioritet som en huvudgröda var ett råd som erfarna odlare poängterade vid en workshop. Det finns olika tankesätt och strategier kring val av arter, beroende på syftet med mellangrödan. Genom artblandningar kan man också kombinera funktioner. Det finns inga tydliga råd för arter som särskilt främjar kolinlagring utan det viktigaste är stor tillväxt, hög kol-kväve-kvot (C/N-kvot), stor rotbiomassa samt baljväxtinslag. Hushållning med kvävet En nordisk sammanställning visade att mellangrödor i medeltal minskade kväveläckaget med drygt 40 %. Tidpunkt för nedbrukning eller kemisk avdödning är metoder för att styra återmineraliseringen och kväveverkan i nästa gröda. För frostkänsliga mellangrödor med låg C/N-kvot finns en risk att kvävet frigörs så snabbt att det hinner utlakas innan våren. Under sådana förhållanden ökar också risken för lustgasemissioner. Mer kunskap behövs om hur kväveomsättning påverkas och hur lustgasemissioner kan minimeras, för att kunna anpassa mellangrödesystemen efter olika odlingskrav och klimatets förändring.

Functional traits associated with nitrogen use efficiency in wheat
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The association between functional traits and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) was investigated to assist the breeding of nitrogen (N) use-efficient bread wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. aestivum) varieties. This study combined results from a climate chamber experiment involving 41 spring wheat varieties and a field experiment involving six winter and six spring wheat varieties grown with and without the application of mineral N fertiliser. The climate chamber experiment was analysed by partial least squares (PLS) regression, with several predictors and NUE as response, to identify traits related to NUE. Specific hypotheses were then tested in the field experiment. The PLS indicated six traits of particular importance for overall NUE: leaf chlorophyll (SPAD value) of the top leaf at stem elongation, grains ear(-1), ears pot(-1), straw biomass pot(-1), days between emergence and anthesis, and days between emergence and completed senescence. In the field experiment, the SPAD value of flag leaves of winter wheat around anthesis was positively correlated with NUE and total grain N, at both N levels. Fast development was positively correlated with high NUE and N uptake efficiency in spring wheat. Early senescence of the flag leaf was positively correlated with grain N concentration and negatively correlated with grain-specific N efficiency in winter wheat at low N fertilisation levels. The results indicate that high SPAD value of the top leaf might be a candidate trait that could be used in wheat breeding for improved NUE, while genetic variation in senescence could possibly be used to tailor varieties for different end-use quality when grown at low N. More studies are needed to validate these findings in other environments and for other genotypes.
