Biomass residues have been identified as potentially promising resources for production of bio-based products and fuels with low climate impacts. Unlike primary biomass such as crops, using residual biomass may avoid issues such as competition over land for food and feed production. To assess the climate impacts of products made from residual biomass, a life cycle assessment (LCA) may be used, but
Vårt mål är att öka kunskapen om demens- och minnessjukdomar - alltifrån uppkomst till behandling. Forskningen omfattar ett flertal diagnoser, bland annat Alzheimers sjukdom, Lewy Body demens och Parkinsons sjukdom. Markörer och tidig upptäckt av Alzheimer, genom bland annat ryggvätskeprov, är ett styrkeområde där vi uppnått resultat som omsatts i daglig, klinisk användning. Genom innovativ använWe embrace the big picture of dementia and memory diseases. This includes the course from origin and early detection to treatment. The scope includes a wide range of diagnoses, among these Alzheimer’s Disease, Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. Early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease, by using new markers, is one of our most promising fields. Spinal fluid test concepts, developed by us, ar
Mjukdelssarkom utgör en heterogen grupp av ovanliga tumörer och innefattar ett 50-tal olika subtyper med varierande klinisk bild och prognos. Två tredjedelar är höggradigt maligna tumörer och en tredjedel av patienterna avlider i tumörsjukdom. I Södra sjukvårdsregion är vården av patienter med sarkom centraliserad till SUS/Lund. Sarkomgruppen i Lund utreder och behandlar patienter med sarkom och Soft tissue sarcomas constitute a heterogeneous group of rare tumours with some 50 histopathologic types with different clinical characteristics and prognosis. Two thirds are highly malignant tumours and one third of the patients die due to metastatic disease. The care of sarcoma patients in the Southern Swedish health care region is centralised to the Lund Sarcoma Centre. We have a large data ba
An extensive and reliable electricity grid is essential for all sectors of society. In parts of Sweden, the electricity grid has been suffering from a lack of capacity. This is something affecting all sectors and all people in these regions. The capacity problems have however so far mainly been analyzed in a technical system perspective, focusing on incumbent actors, whereas other actors have been
We are investigating how sensory information is transformed into neural signals using the fruit fly and the yellow fever mosquito as a model system.
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
This manual has been produced by the Swedish partners within the Innovation project CONTECVET (IN30902I). The chaper “General Introduction” is produced by the British partner BCA. The lead in drafting this report was taken by Lund Institute of Technology. The project has been co-ordinated at European level by BCA and at national level by GEOCISA in Spain and CBI in Sweden.
The positive effects of foreign direct investments have encouraged several developing countries to offer preferential treatment of foreign investors. In addition to creating employment opportunities, it is argued that one of the most important contributions of foreign direct investments is the transfer of skills and knowledge i.e. spillover effects. While several studies have measured these spillo
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
Design has received increased attention not least of all in the business press and journals. The concept of design thinking – how to approach problems in a designerly way – is sometimes attributed as being the savior of business, making companies creative and innovative. This kind of exaggeration does more harm than good to industrial design consultancies (IDCs) and their client firms (CFs). And y
Current EU policy calls for decreased emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by i.e., replacing fossil fuel in the transportation sector with sustainable biofuels. To avoid indirect land use change (iLUC), the EU at the same time strives to limit the use of crops and to increase the use of residues. In this study we compare climate impact and production cost for biogas and ethanol based on wheat grai
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to find out how the PMM system can be used to remain resilient to a change in the environment and so continue to provide appropriate guidance to managers in real time. Methodology: The paper is based on a qualitative research method with primarily an abductive approach to derive insight about a PMM system’s use to remain resilient to a change in the environment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible role of FCGR2A 519A>G and FCGR3A 559A>C functional polymorphisms in the genetic predisposition to susceptibility to systemic sclerosis (SSc) or clinical phenotype. METHODS: A total of 1566 patients with SSc and 2271 geographically matched controls were included in our study. We analyzed the genotype and allele frequencies of the FCGR2A 519A>G and FCGR3A 559A>
