Purpose: The Dynamics of Family Conflict (FamC) prospective cohort study was set up to investigate how and why interparental conflicts and family relations develop over time, and in which contexts which types of conflicts and relations are most negative for which children. FamC focuses on the family within a scope spanning macrolevel as well as microlevel processes.
Participants: Families were recruited from MoBa (pilot project) and family counselling offices across Norway when parents attended parental counselling, therapy or mandatory mediation in relation to parental relationship dissolution.
Measurements of stable isotope ratios in organic compounds are widely used tools for plant ecophysiological studies. However, the complexity of the processes involved in shaping hydrogen isotope values (δH) in plant carbohydrates has limited its broader application. To investigate the underlying biochemical processes responsible for H fractionation among water, sugars, and cellulose in leaves, we studied the three main CO fixation pathways (C, C, and CAM) and their response to changes in temperature and vapor pressure deficit (VPD).

- A study explored the link between lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels and lung function in 679 relatively healthy older adults, finding that higher Lp(a) levels correlated with better lung function parameters.
- Despite the initial findings indicating a positive association between Lp(a) and lung function, these results were not confirmed by Mendelian randomization analyses that utilized recent genome-wide study data.
- The researchers suggest further investigation is needed due to the significant and possibly clinically relevant differences observed in lung function related to Lp(a) levels.
Investigating plant responses to climate change is key to develop suitable adaptation strategies. However, whether changes in land management can alleviate increasing drought threats to crops in the future is still unclear. We conducted a management × drought experiment with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.

We study Swiss agricultural grasslands to assess how employing and combining three widespread aspects of grassland management and their interactions can enhance 22 plot-level ecosystem service indicators, as well as ecosystem-service multifunctionality. The three management aspects we assess are i) organic production system, ii) an eco-scheme prescribing extensive management (without fertilization), and iii) harvest type (pasture vs.
