A county administrative board (Swedish: länsstyrelse) is a Swedish Government Agency in each of the counties of Sweden, led by a vice-regal governor (Swedish: landshövding) appointed by the government for a term of six years. The lists of gubernatorial officeholders, in most cases, stretches back to 1634 when the counties were created by Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna.The main responsibilities of the county administrative board is to coordinate the development of the county in line with goals set in national politics. In each county there is also a County Council which is a policy-making assembly elected by the residents of the county.The capital of a county is in Swedish called residensstad ("residence city") because it is the seat of residence of the governor..
Research this aiming for develop and describe validity as well as practicality of learning media based on Articulate Storyline 3 in the material classification creature life with approach scientific at Junior High School 2 Panti. Research using the 4D development model to stage distribution limited. Products validated by experts materials, media, language, and practitioners, then tested its practicality through trial scale small (10 students) class VIII) and scale large (32 students) class VII). The validation results show a very high level of validity with average scores from each validator: subject matter experts scored 95.31%, media experts scored 96.25%, language experts scored 100%, and practitioners scored 100%. Furthermore, the practicality test results showed a score of 88.75% in the small-scale test and 91.07% in the large-scale test, which falls into the “very practical” category. With thus, the learning media developed stated to be very valid and practical for used in science learning.
We read with interest the recently published work in Gut by Imhann et al .1 Although this paper suggests that genetics plays an important role in IBD,1 environmental factors clearly contribute to its aetiology.2 When Ng et al 2 reviewed environmental risk factors for IBD in this journal they noted that urbanisation may be linked to both Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). We used Cox regression to estimate the effect of urbanisation and deprivation during childhood on future IBD. From the Swedish Total Population Register,3 the government agency Statistics Sweden selected all individuals born in Sweden between 1973 and 2013 (n=4 161 280). Among these there …
Incorporating functional values in biodiversity monitoring systems could add novel perspectives of the status of biodiversity in conservation areas. Stable frequencies of large foliose nitrogen-fixing cyanolichens likely have positive effects on the nitrogen budget of forests and provide food, material and shelter for invertebrates, gastropods and birds. Stable volumes of deadwood and frequencies of associated fungi provide an important supporting function for ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, carbon storage and soil formation. Based on regional monitoring data from boreal old-growth forest nature reserves and key habitats, we tested for changes in the frequency of various functionally important substrates and species over time. We detected significant reductions in the frequency of indicator cyanolichens occurring on deciduous trees already after 10 years in key habitats, despite non-significant changes in their host substrates. Frequencies of indicator pendulous lichens Alectoria sarmentosa and Bryoria nadvornikiana had also decreased in key habitats, despite overall stable volumes of large conifer host trees. Lichen reductions were more pronounced in the smaller key habitats compared to the larger formally protected nature reserves, likely due to degrading fragmentation and isolation effects. In contrast to these lichens, the average frequencies of old-growth forest indicator fungi decaying coniferous deadwood and common fungi on deciduous trees (Fomes fomentarius) and coniferous trees (Fomitopsis pinicola) remained unchanged. The studied cyanolichens and fruiting fungi generally had similar extinction rates over 10 years, whilst only cyanolichens had substantially lower colonization rates. Amid a severely fragmented landscape, conservation areas seem to struggle in preserving some of the basic old-growth forest values.
The aim of this paper is to explicitly link co-design to well-being and expand the conversation about the influence of the co-design process on well-being. This paper highlights considerations for ...
