Framtidens cancersjukvård kommer att omfatta individuell kartläggning av mutationer i tumörcellernas DNA för att matcha varje patient till rätt behandling. Därför måste vi bättre förstå vilka mutationer som är viktiga. Idag ligger fokus helt på de mutationer som är enklast att tolka medan så kallade ”tysta” eller synonyma mutationer som inte direkt förändrar ett protein filtreras bort. Även synony

Sweden’s industry uses about one third of the country’s entire energy consumption. How can industry convert to a better considered and sustainable circular economy? Researchers at Lund University are working closely with companies to find smarter solutions that focus on improving sustainability in materials recycling. We would like to have an electric car, solar cells on our roof or the latest mod

The West Bank attracts countless researchers due to the conflict’s intractable label. On one hand, these researchers are drawn to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict due to logistical reasons: accessibility to the area, academic prestige, ample funding, grant and networking opportunities. On the other, researchers are allured due to an Orientalist fascination with conducting fieldwork in the West Ban

We present a coding theoretic approach to the problem the initial state recovery of a linear feedback shift register when a noisy output sequence is given. Our work is focused on the investigation of the asymptotical behaviour of the recovery process. We give two algorithms which will work for shift registers with arbitrary feedback polynomial. Furthermore, the number of required given noisy symbo

Genom incitamentsprogram tilldelas anställda finansiella instrument som ger dem del av arbetsgivarens framgångar. Den avkastning som genom instrumenten tillkommer de anställda beskattas idag normalt i inkomstslaget kapital och inte, som lön, i inkomstslaget tjänst. Endast förmånen av att erhålla instrumentet till nedsatt pris beskattas normalt som arbetsinkomst. I denna uppsats undersöks utifrån rEmployees taking part in incentive programs are offered financial instruments which offer them parts of their employer’s successes. In Swedish tax law, the returns from these instruments are normally taxed as capital income and not as labour income. The employees benefit in kind of receiving the instrument to a discounted price is however taxed as labour income. This essay attempts to analyse whet

“If we succeed, this could be a method that helps find materials to build quantum computers that can withstand higher temperatures, with the possibility of fast operations,” says Mathieu Gisselbrecht. This is a quantum mechanical phenomenon that can best be described as an ensemble of particles for which the quantum state of each individual particle cannot be described independently of the state o

Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various properties of clays, such as through the addition of certain molecules or salts, we can use them for new and sustainable products in the fields of medicine, architecture and building materials.
