Palliativt Utvecklingscentrum är en del av Lunds universitet och Region Skåne. Vi arbetar med forskning, utveckling och utbildning inom palliativ vård med det övergripande målet att vården av människor i livets slutskede ska ha högsta möjliga prioritet och kvalitet. Detta oavsett sjukdom och var man vårdas.The Institute for Palliative Care is part of Lund University and Region Skåne. We work with research, development and education in palliative care. The overall goal being that the care of people at the end of life should have the highest possible priority and quality, regardless of the type of illness and where the person is cared for.

The potential collapse of Assad’s regime would disturb not only the regional but also trans-regional balance of power at the expense of Iran, leaving it virtually alone amidst foes such as Saudi Arabia and Israel, and rivalrous friends such as Turkey and (potentially) Egypt. The IRI officials have made no secret of their strong desire that Syria under Assad should be protected from what is usually

Constitutional monarchy offers Iran a politically stable and culturally resonant alternative to partisan republicanism. Grounded in both empirical research and philosophical tradition, it combines symbolic authority with institutional continuity, enabling national unity without authoritarianism. Monarchs function as neutral anchors above political conflict, often at lower public cost and with grea

This paper presents findings from a longitudinal, experimental project investigating the effect of translation on the morphosyntactic accuracy of advanced Swedish (L1) learners of English (L2). The subjects were first-year students of English at a Swedish university. The curriculum was communicative and translation (Focus-on-Forms) was used judiciously. The research is couched in cognitive psycho

1.Among small animals dispersal parameters are mainly obtained by traditional methods using population studies of marked individuals. Dispersal studies may underestimate the rate and distance of dispersal, and be biased because of aggregated habitat patches and a small study area. The probability of observing long distance dispersal events decreases with distance travelled by the organisms. In thi

Bacterial binding was studied to determine whether thrombospondin-1 (TSP) acts as a ligand in attachment of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). Twenty-five of 27 CNS strains bound soluble TSP. Staphylococcus epidermidis J9P bound 125I-labelled TSP in a dose-dependent manner. Scatchard plot analysis of the binding of TSP by strain J9P revealed two Kd values of 6.4x10-95muM and 2.9x10-85muM. The

Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are important in many types of mesenchymal cell. Here we identify a new PDGF, PDGF-C, which binds to and activates the PDGF alpha-receptor. PDGF-C is activated by proteolysis and induces proliferation of fibroblasts when overexpressed in transgenic mice. In situ hybridization analysis in the murine embryonic kidney shows preferential expression of PDGF-C mes

We address a new agricultural policy concern following the decoupling of CAP direct payments in 2005: passive farming, whereby landowners maintain their agricultural area to collect payments without producing commodities. It is claimed that passive farming is hindering agricultural development by 'blocking' access to farmland for expanding farmers. We evaluate the links between the EU's Single Pay

In mitosis, transcription factors (TFs) and RNA polymerase disperse across the cytoplasm leading to transcriptional silencing, but some TFs are retained on condensed chromatin and mark genomic sites, a mechanism termed mitotic bookmarking. In pluripotent and differentiated cells this mechanism is important for pluripotency maintenance, cell reprogramming and lineage inheritance. However, the role

This paper addresses the optimization of structural health monitoring(SHM) before its implementation on the basis of its Value of Information (VoI). The approach for the quantification of the value of SHM builds upon a service life cost assessment and generic structural performance model in conjunction with the observation, i.e. monitoring, of deterioration increments. The structural performance i

Avdelningen för program och studentstöd ansvarar för ledningsstöd till de fyra programnämnderna samt studievägledning och övrigt stöd för studenter.This division provides administrative support to the four Programme Boards and programme leadership, along with study counselling and other student support.

Vid avdelningen bedrivs forskning med produkter, processer och människan i fokus. Fysikaliska, kemiska och processtekniska aspekter vid industriell livsmedelsproduktion är en del av detta. Vidare bedrivs forskning kring värme- och masstransport i fasta livsmedel, membranteknik och värme-, mass- och impulstransport i flytande livsmedel, likaså forskning kring strukturförändringar och kvalitetsegensThe division conducts research with a focus on products, processes and people. Physical, chemical and process engineering aspects of industrial food production are part of this. Furthermore, research is conducted on heat and mass transport in solid foods, membrane technology and heat and mass transport in liquid foods, as well as research on structural changes and quality properties in the chain f
