Paper presented at Swedish Anthropological Association Annual Meeting, Lund, April 2015, panel on Business ethics. Abstract: Under the influence of U.S. government regulations, new anti-bribery laws and embarrassing corruption scandals, major global corporations have realized that unethical conduct may affect their reputations and ultimately, their profits. This development has given rise to a new
Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane channel proteins that transport water and uncharged solutes across different membranes in organisms in all kingdoms of life. In plants, the AQPs can be divided into seven different subfamilies and five of these are present in higher plants. The most recently characterized of these subfamilies is the XIP subfamily, which is found in most dicots but not in monocots. In
Medicinen är ett kunskapsfält med humanistisk förankring. Vid Enheten för medicinens historia är målet att nå ökad förståelse för hur den medicinska vetenskapen tagit form över tid och fördjupad insikt kring det sociala sammanhang medicinen verkar i. Genom sin tillhörighet i ämnesområdet Medicinsk humaniora gränsar verksamheten till flera andra akademiska discipliner, såsom idé- och lärdomshistori
This paper makes a case for using cost effectiveness (as opposed to efficiency) as key criterion when designing support policies for electricity generation from renewable energy sources in coexistence with an emissions trading scheme. Using the EU ETS and the German feed-in tariff system as examples, arguments against a stand-alone ETS are presented and necessary conditions for cost-effective supp
I teoretisk filosofi studerar man gränserna och principerna för mänsklig kunskap; grunderna för den vetenskapliga kunskapen; de logiska och semantiska principerna för tänkande, argumentation och kommunikation, samt det egna ämnets historia. Forskningen i Lund ligger huvudsakligen inom kunskapsteori, vetenskapsteori, beslutsteori, språkfilosofi, logik samt filosofins historia.
Avdelningen för matematisk fysik är gemensam för naturvetenskaplig och tekniska (LTH) fakulteterna och är en del av fysiska institutionen. Forskningen bedrivs främst inom området kvantmekanisk mångpartikelfysik, vilket innefattar teoretisk kärnstrukturfysik, nanometerfysik, tidsberoende och icke-jämviktsfenomen, kvantinformation, atom-teori och materialmodellering, med flera samarbeten både internMathematical Physics is a common division between the Natural Science and Engineering (LTH) faculties and is part of the Department of Physics. Research is conducted primarily in the field of quantum mechanical many particle physics, which includes theoretical nuclear structure physics, nanometer physics, time-dependent and non-equilibrium phenomena, quantum information, atomic theory and material
In cities, land-use decisions made during planning processes determine the availability of ecosystem services fundamental to the wellbeing of urban population. Hence, the inclusion of ecosystem services in planning is essential to promote sustainable urban development. This article investigates to what extent ecosystem services are currently included in urban plans. The ultimate objective is to un
Experience curves are used to analyse the prospects for diffusion and adoption of renewable energy technologies, with special emphasis on wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) modules. The analysis shows that the possibility of cost reductions of renewable energy technologies is greater than for conventional energy technologies. However, large investments are necessary to make wind turbines and PV m
Certain oxygenated compounds, called oxygenates, when blended with gasoline, have the ability to inhibit the occurrence of engine knock, thus helping improve spark-ignition engine efficiency. Similarly, oxygenates can also be added to diesel fuel to decrease the exhaust emissions—soot in particular—from diesel engines. Although ethanol and biodiesel have had widespread use as oxygenates for gasoli
BackgroundDespite the fact that eldercare services are organizationally part of social work in Sweden, the social work practice is disappearing and older people are expected to take the responsibility for their own well-being. In this context, they have to create their own sense of meaningfulness in their everyday life, despite being subject to social care services.Methods As part of a research pr
Using a new dataset on fossil fuel funding, this paper examines bank responses to Germany’s 2020 coal phase-out decision. German banks reduced fossil fuel financing relative to other banks but not coal funding. Globally, banks increased underwriting for coal companies relative to other fossil fuel firms. Firms with entirely coal-based post-sample power production received more funding, indicating
Avdelningen för klinisk genetik består av flera forskargrupper. Vår forskning är inriktad mot olika aspekter av tumörgenetik och tumörbiologi samt genetiska orsaker till ärftliga sjukdomar. Dessa studier syftar till att förbättra diagnostik, behandling och uppföljning av patienter med tumörsjukdom samt till att förbättra utredning och behandling av ärftliga sjukdomar för såväl patienterna som deraThe Division of Clinical Genetics consists of several research teams. Our research is focused on different aspects of cancer genetics and cancer biology as well as genetics of heritable rare diseases. This includes the identification and characterization of genetic aberrations, investigations of the functional outcome of somatic and constitutional genetic variants, and the development of novel tar
Avdelningen för högskolepedagogisk utveckling (AHU) ingår i Institutionen för utbildningsvetenskap. AHU ersätter från 2016 CED (Centre for Educational Development). AHU:s huvuduppgift är att bedriva högskolepedagogisk utveckling i form av praxisnära utvecklingsarbete, högskolepedagogisk utbildning för lärare och doktorander samt forskning inom området. Avdelningen samarbetar med fakulteterna och öAHU, short for the Division for Higher Education Development at Lund University, was founded in 2016. It is included in the department for Educational Sciences at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology. AHU replaces CED, Centre for Educational Development. The main task for AHU is to support academic development at the university by offering pedagogical courses to academic teachers and doc
