Aspects of building systems for monitoring microclimate parameters in educational institutions
The microclimate of the premises is the state of the internal environment of the premises, which in a certain way affects the health, psycho-emotional state, working capacity and well-being of the person staying there.

The influence of forest regrowth, original canopy cover and tree size on saproxylic beetles associated with old oaks [PDF]
Abandoned management has caused many sites with free-standing, large oaks (Quercus robur) to become more shaded. This study shows how forest regrowth affects beetle species associated with old oaks in south-eastern Sweden. Beetles were trapped by pitfall

The capability of capacitive sensors in the monitoring relative humidity in hypogeum environments [PDF]
Hypogeum environments are characterized by high levels of relative humidity (RH). Most humidity sensors currently in use are based on the capacitive effect of the dielectric material to change according to water vapour uptake.
