Vi studerar blod- och immunsystemet och dess sjukdomar. Ett särskilt fokusområde är hur medfödd genetisk variation påverkar hur blod- och immunceller, och hur sådan variation kan utnyttjas kliniskt. Vilka gener och genmutationer styr t ex risken för blodcancer? Kan vi utnyttja dem för att förebygga och behandla? Vilka styr vår blodgruppsuppsättning? Kan vi utnyttja dem för säkrare transfusion? EttWe study the blood and immune system and its diseases. A particular focus area is how congenital genetic variation affects blood and immune cells, and how such variation can be utilized clinically. Which genes and gene mutations control, for example, the risk of blood cancer? Can we use them to prevent and treat? Who controls our blood group set? Can we use them for safer transfusion?

Internationellt motsvaras svensk idé- och lärdomshistoria av flera olika forskningsinriktningar ”intellectual history”, ”cultural history” samt ”history of ideas” och ämnet har således en förhållandevis bred forskningsprofil. Här finns en äldrehistorisk inriktning liksom en sedan länge etablerad stark filosofihistorisk tradition och en senare inriktning mot begreppshistoria. Till detta kommer flerResearch in history of ideas and sciences at Lund University is broad. Our specialities include studies of early modernity, history of philosophy and a more recent emphasis on conceptual history. In addition to this, several researchers are showing an interest in the history of science, technology and medicine. These different orientations within the field of History of Ideas and Sciences at Lund

Institutionen för arkeologi och antikens historia bedriver forskning och utbildning inom fyra ämnen – antikens kultur och samhällsliv, arkeologi, historisk arkeologi och historisk osteologi. Institutionen har funnits i olika former vid Lunds universitet sedan 1805 men fick sin nuvarande sammansättning 2001. Sedan 2016 rymmer institutionen även Laboratoriet för digital arkeologi (DARKLab), en infraThe Department of Archaeology and Ancient History conducts research and education in four subjects – Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, Archaeology, Historical Archaeology and Historical Osteology. The department has existed in various forms at Lund University since 1805 but was given its current composition in 2001. Since 2016, the department also houses the Laboratory for Digital Archaeo

Title: A quantitative Study of the distribution of information at Sweden’s needle exchange programs. [Translated title] The Swedish needle exchange program focuses on helping individuals who inject drugs to reduce the risk of illnesses and infections, by offering them clean injecting tools, get in touch with different authorities and organisations that can provide help and support to better their

In the early decades of the 17th century, when the idea of the Swedish colony of New Sweden was conceived and realized, America had a vague place in popular consciousness. Knowledge of the new continent was rather limited, and early Swedish images of it were influenced by tales told by foreign travellers and sailors, by pictorial representations in prints and maps, and by news and reports publishe

Student Sebastian shares how the master’s programme in Digital Architecture and Emergent Futures encourages creative freedom and new ways of thinking through technology.

The phase behavior and phase structure of the SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate)-Al(NO3)(3)-H2O system have been studied by combined NMR, SAXS, cryo-TEM and optical polarization microscopy methods at 298 K (25 degreesC) and 311 K (38 degreesC). At 298 K, the micellar solution phase of the binary system SDS-water is not capable of solubilising substantial amount of Al(NO3)(3) salt, and at a certain subst

A recent slew of ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Consortium publications, specifically the article signed by all Consortium members, put forward the idea that more than 80% of the human genome is functional. This claim flies in the face of current estimates according to which the fraction of the genome that is evolutionarily conserved through purifying selection is less than 10%. Thus, accor

My thesis examines police practices used to suppress social protests in Argentina from the restoration of democracy in 1983 to the present, with a focus on crimes committed by law enforcement in the context of protest repression and the state of accountability for those crimes. This research seeks to contribute by providing a structured legal analysis of protest repression, illustrated through the

This study delves into the healing experiences of some Swedish citizens aged 65 and above following the loss of a loved one. Employing a qualitative approach, six interviews were transcribed and analyzed through Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The identified themes include Exploration of the Pre-loss Phase, Intrinsic Factors, External Factors, Progression Towards Acceptance, Embracing the Present Mom

Frequent hyperglycaemia is associated with oxidative stress and subclinical inflammation, and thus increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Possibilities of modulating glycaemia, insulinaemia and perceived satiety for bread products were investigated, with emphasis on the course of glycaemia expressed as a glycaemic profile (defined as the duration of the glucose curve above the fasting concentra
