Abstract. Extreme events in the ocean severely impact marine organisms and ecosystems. Of particular concern are compound events, i.e., when conditions are extreme for multiple potential ocean ecosystem stressors such as temperature and chlorophyll. Yet, little is known about the occurrence, intensity, and duration of such compound high-temperature (a.k.a. marine heatwaves – MHWs) and low-chlorophyll (LChl) extreme events, whether their distributions have changed in the past decades, and what the potential drivers are. Here we use satellite-based sea surface temperature and chlorophyll concentration estimates to provide a first assessment of such compound extreme events. We reveal hotspots of compound MHW and LChl events in the equatorial Pacific, along the boundaries of the subtropical gyres, in the northern Indian Ocean, and around Antarctica. In these regions, compound events that typically last 1 week occur 3 to 7 times more often than expected under the assumption of independence between MHWs and LChl events. The occurrence of compound MHW and LChl events varies on seasonal to interannual timescales. At the seasonal timescale, most compound events occur in summer in both hemispheres. At the interannual timescale, the frequency of compound MHW and LChl events is strongly modulated by large-scale modes of natural climate variability such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation, whose positive phase is associated with increased compound event occurrence in the eastern equatorial Pacific and in the Indian Ocean by a factor of up to 4. Our results provide a first understanding of where, when, and why compound MHW and LChl events occur. Further studies are needed to identify the exact physical and biological drivers of these potentially harmful events in the ocean and their evolution under global warming.

Abstract. Cultivation of the terrestrial land surface can create either a source or sink of atmospheric CO2, depending on land management practices. The Community Land Model (CLM) provides a useful tool for exploring how land use and management impact the soil carbon pool at regional to global scales. CLM was recently updated to include representation of managed lands growing maize, soybean, and spring wheat. In this study, CLM-Crop is used to investigate the impacts of various management practices, including fertilizer use and differential rates of crop residue removal, on the soil organic carbon (SOC) storage of croplands in the continental United States over approximately a 170-year period. Results indicate that total US SOC stocks have already lost over 8 Pg C (10%) due to land cultivation practices (e.g., fertilizer application, cultivar choice, and residue removal), compared to a land surface composed of native vegetation (i.e., grasslands). After long periods of cultivation, individual subgrids (the equivalent of a field plot) growing maize and soybean lost up to 65% of the carbon stored compared to a grassland site. Crop residue management showed the greatest effect on soil carbon storage, with low and medium residue returns resulting in additional losses of 5 and 3.5%, respectively, in US carbon storage, while plots with high residue returns stored 2% more carbon. Nitrogenous fertilizer can alter the amount of soil carbon stocks significantly. Under current levels of crop residue return, not applying fertilizer resulted in a 5% loss of soil carbon. Our simulations indicate that disturbance through cultivation will always result in a loss of soil carbon, and management practices will have a large influence on the magnitude of SOC loss.

Based on the author's new editio princeps of CANT 78.4 (BHG 2119y), this chapter introduces and translates a Byzantine legend about the good bandit, a story newly entitled the Hospitality of Dysmas. This short tale was interpolated into numerous manuscripts of the Acts of Pilate. It describes the devotion and kind welcome that the bandit and his wife show Mary during her sojourn in Egypt with Joseph and the infant Jesus. Through Mary two rewards are bestowed: the bandit's child is instantly healed from leprosy by bathing in water first used to bathe Jesus, and the bandit is blessed such that he will providentially share in the death and destiny of Jesus.

Val av revisionsbyrå är ett viktigt beslut för samtliga företag. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka ifall små bolag inom den svenska fastighetsförmedlingsbranschen föredrar revisionsbyrå tillhörande Big Four. Det som ska undersökas mer noggrant är ifall dessa bolag väljer en revisionsbyrå tillhörande Big Four utifrån olika interna faktorer hos företag. Studien präglas av en kvantitativ metod för att försöka besvara syftet där empiri har samlats in från 84 olika små bolag tillhörande den svenska fastighetsförmedlingsbranschen. Vidare bygger uppsatsen på legitimitetsteorin som teoretisk referensram samt olika vetenskapliga artiklar som presenteras i litteraturöversikten. Utifrån referensramen och litteraturöversikten har fyra olika hypoteser tagits fram. Dessa hypoteser testades sedan med hjälp av olika statistiska verktyg. Studiens resultat indikerar på att det inte finns något positivt samband mellan val av revisionsbyrå tillhörande Big Four och någon av studiens fyra hypoteser. I studiens slutsats redogörs det att totala tillgångar, omsättning, eget kapital samt personalkostnader inte är förknippade med val av revisionsbyrå tillhörande Big Four.

The aim of this essay is to learn how I as a teacher can work with reading in different ways to promote learning for students in upper secondary school. This is discussed with examples from Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and Randa Abdel-Fattah's Does My Head Look Big In This?. In this study, I found out that there are many factors that contribute to students' attitude towards reading and that affect their experience of a text. These factors consist of five emotions that affect reader response: assimilation, accommodation, sympathy, memories and identification, as well as four categorizing factors: age, gender, ethnicity and class.  Knowing these factors, we teachers have the tools to turn students' resistance to reading into something positive, and by doing this, we open up a myriad of learning opportunities through reading.
