Observed declines in pollinator populations due to human pressures is of critical concern because pollination is an essential regulating ecosystem service (ES). Pollination has a major role in human food production and in maintaining flowering plant diversity. Estimating the pollination ES and its trends is thus essential for informing policy and management. However, the pollination ES remains poo
Mozambique, situated in south-east Africa, has sub-tropical and tropical climate and plenty of natural resources for energy production. The country is however poor, and only about 25% of the population has access to electricity from the grid. A very large part of the energy used in the country is used in the residential sector, and there is a general lack of knowledge, regulations and tools concer
The elastic properties of amorphous TiNiSn, a promising half-Heusler system for flexible and wearable devices, were investigated using experimental and theoretical methods. Nanoindentation measurements performed on amorphous TiNiSn thin film grown by magnetron sputtering yielded an elastic (Young’s) modulus value of 132 GPa. To corroborate this result, density functional theory (DFT) calculations
Crystallographic screening of the binding of small organic compounds (termed fragments) to proteins is increasingly important for medicinal chemistry-oriented drug discovery. To enable such experiments in a widespread manner, an affordable 96-compound library has been assembled for fragment screening in both academia and industry. The library is selected from already existing protein-ligand struct
Peel testing is used to study adhesive fracture in packaging material laminates. The focus is on improved understanding of the mechanisms that provide a laminate's adhesive properties, as measured by standard macroscopic tests. Using a specially-designed peel test load rig, peel tests are performed in-situ in a laboratory X-ray tomograph. The peel test results are analyzed using a combination of t
The Lund Cardiac MR Group at the Department of Clinical Physiology, Lund University was established 1999 by professor Håkan Arheden and is led by a steering committee consisting of professors Håkan Arheden, Henrik Engblom, Anthony Aletras, associate professors Einar Heiberg, Ellen Ostenfeld, Erik Hedström, Katarina Steding-Ehrenborg and Johannes Töger. The group performs clinically integrated res
The energy transition of housing is accelerating in parallel with economic inequality reaching historically high levels. There is thus an opportunity to reduce inequalities in living conditions, but also a risk that the costs of the transition are unequally distributed and aggravate existing inequalities. In order to seize the opportunity for a just transition, and in tandem enable a meaningful in
Maligna lymfom är tumörer utgående från immunsystemet. De innefattar ca 50 olika undergrupper med vitt skilda kliniska förlopp. Målet för vårt arbete är att förbättra överlevnad och livskvalitet för patienter med maligna lymfom, också med hänsyn tid långtidseffekter av behandling, samt att förbättra metoder för diagnostik och prognostik för dessa sjukdomar. Vår grupp har sedan många år bedriviThe area of research for our group is malignant lymphomas – aiming for the improvement of the quality of life and survival of these patients. The paradigm behind most of current health care is evidence –based medicine. The evidence basis is primarily derived from clinical trials, but data can also be extracted from alternate sources such as national or regional data registries. The objective of ou
Based on multiphase field conception and integrated with the idea of vectorvalued phase field, a phase field model for typical allotropic transformation of solid solution is proposed. The model takes the non-uniform distribution of grain boundaries of parent phase and crystal orientation into account in proper way, as being illustrated by the simulation of austenite to ferrite transformation in lo
Vi utvärderar behandlingsmetoder för svårbehandlade psykiatriska tillstånd, med målet att förbättra behandlingsresultat och klinisk praxis. KetECT-studien, som jämförde ketamin med elektrokonvulsiv terapi (ECT) vid unipolär depression, har bidragit till att ketamin nu är ett alternativ för vissa patienter. Blodprover och kognitiva data från KetECT kommer att analyseras för att identifiera biomarköWe evaluate treatment methods for refractory psychiatric conditions, aiming to improve outcomes and clinical practice. The KetECT study, which compared ketamine with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in unipolar depression, has led to ketamine being considered an alternative for certain patients. Blood samples and cognitive data from KetECT will be analyzed to identify biomarkers that can predict tr
Available HIV treatments are unsatisfactory since they don’t clear the infection and result in expensive and life‐long treatment on an every‐day basis without clear evidence of the long‐term consequences and side effects of this. Our research is highly translational and combines clinical, experimental and bioinformatics research in various systems virology approaches to uncover nocel key virus-hos
The paper argues for the importance of seeing just how we conceptualise digital phenomena in relation to how the regulatory discourses. The Internet used to be an “information superhighway”, a “cyberspace”, or a “world wide web” often described as an empowering structure, that now has transformed to be understood in terms of “layers”, a generator of big data for a number of “platform” ventures and
