Du som vill engagera dig i hållbarhetsfrågor har många möjligheter som student vid Lunds universitet. Du kan delta i olika evenemang, gå med i en studentförening med fokus på hållbarhet – eller kanske utmana dig själv att leva ännu mer hållbart än du redan gör. Engagera dig tillsammans med andraVill du jobba aktivt med hållbarhetsfrågor? Ett bra sätt att göra det kan vara att engagera sig i en stu

The purpose of this project was to investigate if, how, and in what ways service criterias based on customer waiting times may be used for analytical multi-echelon inventory optimization by the company Syncron. The project also aimed to generate some insights in what impact different parameters may have on achieving the target customer order waiting time fill rate. This was in part achieved throu

Chaperone proteins are essential for maintaining proteostasis. Their main role is to assist with the folding of other proteins and to prevent the aggregation of misfolded proteins. The molecular chaperone DNAJB6b efficiently suppresses amyloid formation of several peptides. This activity may rely on the same physicochemical properties as those driving chaperone self-assembly into large micellar-li

The unprecedented x-ray flux density provided by modern x-ray sources offers new spatiotemporal possibilities for x-ray imaging of fast dynamic processes. Approaches to exploit such possibilities often result in either (i) a limited number of projections or spatial information due to limited scanning speed, as in time-resolved tomography, or (ii) a limited number of time points, as in stroboscopic

ObjectivesProstate volume (PV) in combination with prostate specific antigen (PSA) yields PSA density which is an increasingly important biomarker. Calculating PV from MRI is a time-consuming, radiologist-dependent task. The aim of this study was to assess whether a deep learning algorithm can replace PI-RADS 2.1 based ellipsoid formula (EF) for calculating PV.MethodsEight different measures of PV

Recently, research on the edge states of 2D lead halide perovskites (LHPs) has been attracting much attention. The lower-energy edge state (LES) is believed to provide an efficient pathway for the dissociation of photoexcited excitons. However, the mechanism of the LES formation remains controversial, and studies that establish precisely the local electronic properties are lacking. Herein, the fir

Sedan antiken har humanismen försökt definiera den mänskliga naturens väsen samtidigt som den placerar människan i universums centrum som ”alla tings mått”. I ett försök att omvärdera människans betydelse har det talats om ett slags transhumanistisk intersubjektivitet. Jag utgår från fysikern och feministen Karen Barads begrepp intraaktion (samspel mellan integrerade delar). Barad myntar begreppet

Prediction of the service lifetime of concrete structures with respect to chloride ingress involves a number of parameters that are associated with large uncertainties. Hence, full-scale measurements are strongly in demand. This paper begins by summarizing statistical distributions based on measurements taken from the Gimsøystraumen Bridge in Norway. A large number of chloride profiles are availab

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether there was any difference in scores of the Cleft Hearing, Appearance and Speech Questionnaire (CHASQ) between patients with cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) and a control population. The second aim was to compare CL/P and control population scores in this study with a British norm CL/P population. Design: Single-site, cross-sec

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based method using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for the detection of pelvic lymph node metastases in scans obtained using [18F]PSMA-1007 positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) from patients with high-risk prostate cancer. The second goal was to make the AI-based method available to

The results of the project SSM2019-5225, “Marine 14C levels around the Swedish coast”, financed by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM), are presented in the paper “Spatial and temporal variations of 14C in Fucus spp. in Swedish coastal waters” published in the Journal of Environmental Radioactivity. The project SSM2019-5225 focussed on spatial variations in 14C in Fucus spp. samples colle

Aim: The Cockcroft-Gault (CG) creatinine-based equation is still used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for drug dosage adjustment. Incorrect eGFR may lead to hazardous over- or underdosing. Methods: In a cross-sectional analysis, CG was validated against measured GFR (mGFR) in 14 804 participants and compared with the Modification-of-Diet-in-Renal-Diseases (MDRD), Chronic-Kidney-Disea

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) often co-occur. Defining causal pathways underlying this relationship may help optimize the prevention and treatment of both diseases. Thus, we assessed the strength and magnitude of the putative causal pathways linking dysglycemia and fatty liver, using a combination of causal inference methods.Measures of glycemia, insulin dynam

ObjectiveTo report trends and characteristics of post-biopsy infections, with regard to etiology and resistance patterns, in a large unique cohort from a single-centre using the same antibiotic prophylactic regimens during a 15-year period.MethodsThis is an observational cross sectional cohort study, including all patients who underwent transrectal prostate biopsy (TR PBx) guided by ultrasound for

Healthcare in Sweden is dealing with problems regarding accessibility for patients. Moreover, there is a lack of an overall model concerning matching specialist care to patients. Against this background, the purpose was to develop a preliminary healthcare matching model and discuss the barriers of this model. Theoretically, the study draws on the concepts of matching and coordination completed wit

The study describes findings from a community-based participatory and challenge-driven research programme, that aimed to improve health equity through a health promotion platform in an ethnically diverse low-income neighbourhood of Malmo, Sweden. Local residents, together with lay health promoters living in the area, were actively involved in the planning phase and decided on the structure and con

Objectives: We evaluated the protection afforded by SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced immunity against reinfection among working-age vaccinated individuals during a calendar period from June to December 2022 when Omicron BA.5 was the dominating subvariant in Scania County, Sweden. Methods: The study cohort (n = 71,592) mainly consisted of health care workers. We analyzed 4144 infected cases during the
