Our report is concerned with the laws as they regulate judges with regard to case allocation and considers this in relation to four fields of practice. The first is commercial law where we investigate allocation in the Commercial Court and the Court of Appeal. Next is criminal law where we investigate allocation in a magistrates’ court and the Crown Court. Thirdly we examine welfare law and the So
The thesis concerns glycosyl transfer with use of b-glycosidases, most of them from hyperthermophilic organisms. Both optimisation of the reaction conditions and protein engineering in terms of site-directed mutagenesis were used to improve b-glycosidase-catalysed reactions. The first part of the work deals with conversion of lactose into valuable products such as galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) an
Earlier studies have shown that while free-viewing images people tend to gaze at regions with a high local density of bottom up features such as contrast and edge density. In particular, this tendency seems to be more emphasized during the first few fixations after image onset. In this paper, we present a new method to investigate how gaze locations are chosen by introducing varying image resoluti
An overview of optical techniques for environmental monitoring is presented. Range-resolved measurements of atmospheric pollutants can be performed using the differential absorption lidar technique. Fluorescence lidar allows assessment of vegetation status and also the conditions of the facades of historical buildings. Diode lasers provide particularly realistic schemes for atmospheric gas analysi
Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy is central to the long-term management of asthma and is extensively used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While administration via inhalation limits systemic exposure compared with oral or injected corticosteroids and, therefore, the risk of systemic corticosteroid-related adverse effects, concerns over the long-term safety of
This article examines the modern concept of literary value. Since the late 18th century, the problem of literary value has been regarded, from the point of view of the so called double discourse of value, as a presupposed opposition between material and spiritual ”economies”. Many Romanticist and Modernist authors believe that literature – and in a broader sense art and aesthetics – constitute a v
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a short-term, high-dose oxygen inhalation and diffusion therapy, delivered systemically through airways and blood under high pressure using hyperbaric chambers. HBO stimulates angiogenesis, reduces edema, augments granulation tissue formation by enhancing fibroblasts, and improves leukocyte function by elevating the partial pressure of oxygen in tissue. The numbe
Dalby Söderskog är belägen tio kilometer öster om Lund och har varit nationalpark sedan 1918. Växtligheten består av ädellövträd samt en rik vårflora av bland annat vitoch gulsippor och skånsk nunneört. Sommaren 1921 utfördes en taxering av skogen och en karta upprättades (figur 1). Kartan visar Söderskogens utbredning samt varje träd i densamma. Arbetet grundar sig på just denna karta men tar äveThe national park Dalby Söderskog is situated ten kilometres east of Lund and has been a national park since 1918. The vegetation consists of a deciduous forest of Oak, Beech, Elm, Ash and Alden. The forest is also famous thanks to its rich spring flora of among others Anemóne nemorósa, Anemóne ranunculoídes and Corýdalis bulbosa. In the summer of 1921 a map was drawn that shows the distribution o
Background: Persistent breathlessness is debilitating and increases in prevalence with advanced age and at end of life. This study aimed to evaluate any relationship between self-reported global impressions of change (GIC) in perceived health and breathlessness in older men.Design: Cross-sectional study of 73-year-old Swedish men in the VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study. A postal
The United Nations is the arena for a renewed push to regulate transnational corporations (TNCs) and their supply chains. This article analyses the ongoing efforts of a multilateral organization to strengthen the human rights legal framework, especially the design choices posed by the treaty negotiations as well as the role of the UN Human Rights Council in the broader regulatory ecosystem around
The ripeness of fruits is commonly assessed by the visual appearance, but this method is not very accurate and there can be a large variability. We have developed a hand-held sensor based on laser-induced fluorescence to provide more objective guidance. The instrument incorporates a 412 nm continuous wave semiconductor laser and a miniature spectrometer. It was used for monitoring of tropical frui
Being born in a hospital versus having a traditional birth attendant at home represents the most common early life policy change worldwide. By applying a difference-in-differences approach to register-based individual-level data on the total population, this paper explores the long-term economic effects of the opening of new maternity wards as an early life quasi-experiment. It first finds that th
This is an account that should be heard of an important struggle: the struggle of a large group of experts who came together at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic to warn the world about the risk of airborne transmission and the consequences of ignoring it. We alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) about the potential significance of the airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and the urgent
Under hösten 2017 och våren 2018 genomförde innovationsenheten PART – Preventivt arbete tillsammans– och Institutionen för service management och tjänstevetenskap vid Lunds universitet ett utvecklingsarbete,med syftet att ta fram en modell för att öka kunskapen om resursanvändning i barnavårdsutredningar. Måletmed den framtagna modellen är att göra det möjligt att kartlägga arbetsuppgifter och tid
