Ex vivo working porcine heart models allow for the study of a heart’s function and physiology outside the living organism. These models are particularly useful due to the anatomical and physiological similarities between porcine and human hearts, providing an experimental platform to investigate cardiac disease or assess donor heart viability for transplantation. This chapter presents an in-depth
The human brain performs tasks with an outstanding energy efficiency, i.e., with approximately 20 Watts. The state-of-the-art Artificial/Deep Neural Networks (ANN/DNN), on the other hand, have recently been shown to consume massive amounts of energy. The training of these ANNs/DNNs is done almost exclusively based on the back-propagation algorithm, which is known to be biologically implausible. Th
Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are generally designed for scenarios in which all data is stored in one data center, where the training is performed. However, in many applications, e.g., in the healthcare domain, the training data is distributed among several entities, e.g., different hospitals or patients’ mobile devices/sensors. At the same time, transferring the data to a central location for
International researchersWhen a department plans to host a guest researcher, many questions crop up. Where is the guest going to live? What is the position about visas? Schools for children, language training and employment questions are other examples.Below you will find useful tips and checklists that simplify matters for both the department and the person concerned.Points to bear in mind, infor

Programme evaluation of PhD education in Political Science: Statement from the external expert group Assignment and external expert group The assignment of the external expert group (see composition below) was to evaluate the PhD education in Political Science. The evaluation was based on Lund University's eleven criteria for quality enhancement, with support from the Faculty of Social Sciences’ i
Intellectual Property Rights’ systems have not yet been admitted as policy instruments favouring economic performance of developing countries, and Intellectual Property itself has not been recognised as an economic asset as yet. While there is strong argument that robust IPR system fosters economic growth and development, suspicions of this argument still hold up in the national and international

The aim of this Master’s thesis is to analyse the discourse of accessibility at the Regional Archives in Lund. The focal point of the study is the interaction between the archivist and the user of the archival records, which stems from questions regarding how archival records are mediated in the dialogue between the archivist and the user, and if the archive’s construct of access is perceived as a
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are among the densest stellar systems in the Universe and are found at the centres of many spiral and elliptical galaxies, and up to 40 percent of dwarf galaxies. However, their formation mechanisms, and possible links to globular clusters (GCs), remain debated. This paper uses cosmological simulations of dwarf galaxies at a spatial resolution of pc to present a new fo
Background: One goal within positive psychiatry is to support the personal recovery of persons with mental illness and providing opportunities for well-being. Aim: The current article aims to introduce readers to the concept of personal recovery and the potential and importance of recovery-oriented services and measures. Methods: A literature review was conducted to help consider the domains of ‘p
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in rivers contains a wide range of molecules that can be assimilated by microbes. However, there is today no integrated understanding of how the source and composition of this DOC regulate the extent to which the DOC can support microbial growth and respiration. We analyzed patterns in microbial metabolism of DOC from different streams and rivers in Québec, by combin
I ett samhälle där kraven på prestation ökar snabbt aktualiseras även behovet av ökad kunskap om vilka faktorer det är som faktiskt bidrar till individers upplevda prestation. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur faktorerna ledarskap och gruppsammanhållning är relaterade till och samverkade i relation till den individuellt upplevda prestationen, samt om det finns något skillnad i dessa samband melIn a society where performance demands are rapidly increasing, the need for greater knowledge of the factors that contribute to individuals perceived performance has become increasingly important. The aim of the present study was to examine whether the factors of leadership and group cohesion influenced and interacted in relation to individual perceived performance, whether these relationships dif
This study explores how ideas of variety were created and practised among women and men of different social strata in Norway and Sweden before the big changes in the second half of the nineteenth century. Three researchers with in-depth knowledge of clothing during that period look at their material through questions they developed based on current clothing and sustainability discourse. The materi
Syftet med studien var att undersöka arbetande föräldrars work family conflict (WFC) och arbetstillfredsställelse, genom att utreda huruvida deltagarnas kön, antalet barn i hushållet,barnens ålder och arbetstimmar i veckan har en inverkan. Studien bestod av 133 deltagare varav 90 kvinnor och 42 män, samtliga arbetande föräldrar. Webbenkäten är baserad på två enkäter; Brayfield och Rothes (1951) soThe aim of the study was to investigate how working parents experience work family conflict (WFC) and job satisfaction by examining how participants gender, age of the children and number of children in the household has an impact. Furthermore, we were interested in studying the differences in job satisfaction and WFC depending on participants full- and parttime job. The study included male and fe
Vilken betydelse har bevarandet av urbana grönområden i Lund ur ett hälsoperspektiv? Stress i vardagen har nog de flesta upplevt och det är viktigt att det finns rum inom städerna för återhämtning. Urbana grönområden har i denna studie visat sig utgöra en viktig betydelse och ha en positiv påverkan på människors upplevda hälsa och välmående i Lunds tätort. Grönområden bidrar med flera olika och vDensifying cities has become a way to make room for the increasing urban population. By doing so, the urban green areas risk being reduced as well as the population’s availability to them. Research has shown that interaction with nature and green spaces contribute positively to human health and well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the inhabitants and municipality view the u
Att ha en webb som är tillgänglig åt alla människor är viktigt i dagens digitala samhälle. För att designa tillgängliga webbplatser finns flera lagar, riktlinjer och rekommendationer som offentliga aktörer bör försöka efterleva. Men vad innebär dessa krav i praktiken? Detta examensarbete, genomfört i samarbete med Region Skåne, syftar till att undersöka om automatiserade testverktyg kan användas fIn today’s digital society, accessible websites are more important than ever. To design websites that are accessible to everyone there are many laws, guidelines and recommendations that public organizations and authorities need to comply with. But how do you comply with these in Sweden, and how do you test your websites for issues with accessibility? This thesis, in cooperation with Region Skåne a
Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur upplevd distributiv rättvisa samt intern och extern motivation korrelerar med och förklarar variansen i anställdas organisatoriska medborgarskapsbeteende riktat mot organisationen (OCBO). Studien utgick således från två huvudsakliga frågeställningar: (1) Hur starka är sambanden mellan OCBO, distributiv rättvisa och extern/intern motivation hos anställda?This study aimed to examine how perceived distributive justice and internal/external motivation correlate with and explain the variance in employees organizational citizenship behavior directed towards the organization (OCBO). Hence, two main questions were addressed: (1) To what extent are OCBO, distributive justice and external/internal motivation correlated among employees? (2) How much of the
Neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) are biomarkers of neuronal injury measurable in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood. Despite their potential as diagnostic tests for neurodegenerative disorders, it is unclear how they behave in mood and anxiety disorders. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate whether NfL and GFAP concentrations
