Lund University is now taking the next step towards a more secure IT environment. To protect ourselves against today's increased threats, secure passwords alone are not enough; we also need strong authentication to log in to our IT services. Currently, this only applies to Lund University staff, not students.Strong authentication is a way of signing in to an IT service that makes it harder for som

After having worked with a project regarding custody procedures and detention facilities where the goal was to give recommendations to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (Macedonia) on issues which needed to be changed for them to fulfil the European minimum standard, I doubted that there really existed any European minimum standards. Therefore, I studied Swedish, British, French and Europe

The aim of this study is to examine a possible fusion of the different legal regimes applicable to international and non-international armed conflicts. The thesis points at different means of rendering the provisions of the Geneva Conventions applicable to conflicts which appear to be non-international. The Conventions are interpreted according to the provisions on interpretation of treaties in th

In response to the pressing need to address climate change and reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this study implemented Gaussian Mixture Models Clustering to detect the levels of GHG emissions and related socio-economic factors in 174 countries. To handle the panel data, Principal Component Analysis was conducted to achieve dimension reduction. Based on the algorithm, countries were gr

This article explores and evaluates three common identifications of the woman in Revelation 12: Mary, mother of Jesus, Israel and the church. This is accomplished through the study of allusions, particularly to the Septuagint, that are embedded in the Greek text. Each verse describing the woman in Revelation 12 has connecting points with one or several texts in the Septuagint and seems to allude t

Ever since the release of the Kyoto protocol the demand for CO2-free processes have been increasing. In this paper three different concepts with no or a very small release of CO₂ to the atmosphere are evaluated and compared concerning plant efficiency and investment cost. A novel approach to biomass gasification is proposed to provide fuel for a combined gas turbine cycle, where the bio

In this paper, four major parameters of fresh water production from saline sources are discussed. The parameters are desalination technology type, water sources input type, energy sources and productions cost per cubic meter. Five different types of desalination technology are presented and bench-marked for long-term use. RO and MSF are dominant technologies. Six different input water sources are

Background: Increased expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has been associated with poor prognosis. Experimental and clinical phase II trials have indicated that the addition of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib to palliative chemotherapy might increase survival time in patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: We performed a double-blind, placebo-con

Cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is an islet peptide that promotes glucose stimulated insulin secretion in beta cells via cAMP/PKA-dependent pathways. In addition, CART is a regulator of neuronal survival. In this study, we examined the effect of exogenous CART 55-102 on beta cell viability and dissected its signaling mechanisms. Evaluation of DNA fragmentation and chromatin con

Summmary Sleep medicine is evolving globally into a medical subspeciality in its own right, and in parallel, behavioural sleep medicine and sleep technology are expanding rapidly. Educational programmes are being implemented at different levels in many European countries. However, these programmes would benefit from a common, interdisciplinary curriculum. This catalogue of knowledge and skills' fo

Background and purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of gantry angle optimisation (GAO) compared to equidistant beam geometry for two inverse treatment planning systems (TPSs) by utilising the information obtained from a range of treatment plans. Material and methods. The comparison was based on treatment plans generated for four different head and neck (H&N) cance

Depending upon its organization, movement variability may reflect poor or flexible control of a motor task. We studied adult age-related differences in the structure of postural variability in manual pointing using the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) method. Participants from 2 age groups (younger: 20-30 years; older: 70-80 years; 12 subjects per group) completed a total of 120 pointing trials to 2 di

Since akinete germination is triggered by light and the action spectrum for this process has features in common with the spectra of the two photochromic pigments, phycochromes b and d, a search was made for the presence of these phycochromes in akinetes of the blue-green alga. Anabaena variabilis Kützing. Allophycocyanin-B was also looked for, since the action spectrum for akinete germination poin

Objective. To determine the plasma levels of the renal functional markers creatinine, urate, cystatin C, beta(2)-microglobulin and beta-trace protein in samples from the first, second, early third and late third trimesters of 398 healthy women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies. Material and methods. Plasma samples from 58 healthy non-pregnant women served as controls. The creatinine levels

ydrophobically modified polymers (HM-P) typically behave as thickeners in a wide range of systems. The thickening effect in an aqueous solution of this kind of polymer depends on intermolecular hydrophobic associations and also on chain entanglements if the polymer concentration is significantly above the overlap concentration. In the present investigation a rather short end-capped polymer has bee

INTRODUCTION The actual heat loss may be underestimated especially in studies employing mild whole-body cooling, if AVA-rich distal areas are not taken into account. In the present report, we illustrate the skin temperature response pattern in fingers (rich in AVAs) to transient whole-body cooling as compared to non-acral body sites (without AVAs). METHODS Eight men participated in the study. Duri

Conclusion Sentinel lymph node biopsies (SLNBs) can be performed safely and with reasonable accuracy in HNM patients. The outcome provides important prognostic information concerning DFS and further treatment. However, one must recognize that SLNB is a multidisciplinary procedure with a learning curve for all. Objectives To evaluate efficacy of performing SLNBs in a series of consecutive patients
