The Hidden Impact: Insulin Lipohypertrophy

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Insulin lipohypertrophies (LH) consist of soft-tissue nodules caused by insulin's anabolic properties, potentially leading to erratic insulin absorption, hypoglycemia, and uncontrolled diabetes.

Sphagnum decay patterns and bog microtopography in south-eastern Finland [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2018
This study addresses differences in Sphagnum decay in the context of variations in physico-chemical peat properties linked to bog microtopography. The decay rates of six Sphagnum species were studied using litter bag techniques at Haukkasuo, a concentric

Assessing shade stress in leaves of turf-type tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)

Photosynthetica, 2021
Shade treatment was applied to tall fescue with 30% full light. The results showed that shade increased chlorophyll (Chl) content per unit leaf mass, decreased the Chl a/b ratio in the mature leaves, and decreased effective quantum yield based on Chl ...

Design‐Driven Production of Soybean Oil‐Based Structured Fats as Potential Substitutes for Palm‐Based Fats

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined whether enzymatic modification of soybean oil (SBO) can be tailored to produce trans‐free fats with physicochemical properties comparable to palm olein, stearin, or palm‐mid fractions (PMFs). US‐grown SBO was modified by lipase‐catalyzed acidolysis using palmitic acid at linearly interpolated substrate molar ratios (C16:0 ...

Stone and lawns in the squares of Lithuanian cities / Akmuo ir žolė Lietuvos miestų aikštėse

Journal of Architecture and Urbanism, 2013
Meadows give the origin to the Lithuanian squares. During towns‘ development, the trees were replaced by buildings. A new form of square as a public open space appeared. The Paved area and the lawn differently suit various functions of a square.

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Urban Nature: Perception and Acceptance of Alternative Green Space Management and the Change of Awareness after Provision of Environmental Information. A Chance for Biodiversity Protection

Urban Science, 2017
Measurable ecological data, e.g., species diversity, provide inadequate information for achieving the comprehensive protection of biodiversity, because human acceptance attitudes can be important factors in undermining nature protection schemes.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...
