In 2009, a nationwide initiative was established in order to lead and develop world-leading research in Sweden. Lund University received strategic research funding from the Swedish Foundation for Stategic Research and the Swedish Government for 12 strategic research areas (SRAs) of excellence. Of these 12 SRAs, StemTherapy (the strategic research area for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine) cont
Kompetenscentret AdTherM inriktar sig på analyser av termiska processer i industriella tillämpningar, inklusive termo- och elektrokemisk energiomvandling. De flesta utmaningar för industrin inom detta område är generiska och baseras på samma fysiska mekanismer. För att utveckla detta forskningsfält måste både experiment och modeller förbättras och samordnas. AdTherM är en plattform som är centreraAdTherM targets analyses of thermal processes in industrial applications, including thermo- and electrochemical energy conversion activities. Most challenges for the industry in this area are generic and based on the same physical mechanisms. To develop this field, both experiments and models need to be improved and coordinated. AdTherM is a platform centered around the models and methods used t
The thesis explores the obligation in international law to protect the ecological integrity of transboundary watercourses. The thesis specifically examines the obligation to protect environmental flows, which essentially means to protect a certain water flow for the benefit of freshwater ecosystems and the ecosystem services they supply. The obligation to protect the integrity of transboundary wat
By use of a batch microcalorimeter of the thermopile type, heat production was measured in isolated populations of human peripheral blood cells exposed to defined immune complexes formed in vitro. It was found that most of the heat production recorded in whole blood after admixture of immune complexes occurs in the granulocytes. Under these conditions small but constantly higher activation values
The paper is based on a study of hunting tourism enterprising in Sweden. The study examines how hunting tourism businesses in Sweden navigate in a complex social, economic and moral environment. The aim of the present paper is to identify how tensions between a market- oriented value sphere and a value sphere based on friendship- and community reciprocity are played out in hunting tourism entrepre
Globalt engagemang är en både självklar och nödvändig del av Lunds universitet för att kunna fortsätta utvecklas som ett internationellt ledande universitet som värnar demokrati, mänskliga rättigheter och akademisk frihet. Tillsammans med våra partner runt om i världen bidrar vi till att möta globala utmaningar. Globalt dynamiskt engagemang (GDE) är Lunds universitets arbetssätt för att stärka och

Microsoft Word - Lärande_i_LTH_44.docx VIDEOKURSEN – DET ROLIGASTE VI GJORT Under våren har vi gemensamt drivit en pedagogisk kurs, Videoanvändning i undervisning och forskningskommunikation. Kärnan i kursen är att identifiera ett pedagogiskt problem som och sedan använda video för att hantera det utifrån ett strukturerat angreppssätt. Som vanligt i Genombrottets kurser försöker vi mobilisera lära

Flight is an expensive form of locomotion, but also offers the ability to travel great distances at relatively low cost. Birds have developed various adaptations for optimizing flight performance. The main aim of this thesis is to identify how morphological variables in birds affect aerodynamic drag and flight performance. To this end I studied the aerodynamic performance of a jackdaw (Corvus mone
This project aims to develop incretin therapy as a glucose-reducing strategy in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Its particular focus is to understand the mechanisms of incretin therapy and to optimize its clinical positioning. This mission is achieved by an interdisciplinary approach with complementary studies in subjects with T2D, healthy volunteers and experimental animals.
This study concerns digital diplomacy and the changing role of the diplomatic profession. By constructing a survey followed by descriptive in-depth interviews, this study demonstrates that Swedish diplomats have overall a positive view on social media’s role within the profession. The use of social media has increased the transparency of the profession and the citizen dialoge. Furthermore, this th
As the world is changing rapidly in many ways, competition is getting increasingly fierce amongst manufacturing firms. As such, it has become more and more important for companies to properly understand the needs of their customers in order to provide enough value to be sufficiently competitive. Providing delivery and installation services which might’ve been viewed as necessary evils before have
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 signalling mediates communication between growth factor receptors and the cell nucleus and has been linked to several key events in the transformation process such as proliferation and invasion. We therefore sought to delineate the degree of phosphorylated ERK1/2 in breast cancer and potential links to upstream receptors such as VEGFR2, ErbB2, downst
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,
In response to calls for increased professionalism in the restaurant industry, this paper aims to show how it is constituted in the daily practices in the industry, and to clarify ideas of professionalism held by the practitioners in the industry. Micro practices of daily activities performed by restaurant practitioners were identified in 13 small restaurants: 8 in a tourist destination and 5 in c
This study investigates new and alternative communication models of sustainable fashion within Instagram thrift stores in India using digital affordances of social media platforms. Drawing from interdisciplinary areas of fashion, media, and sustainability, we explore how social media platforms, such as Instagram, enable sustainable fashion systems of creation and consumption in distinct socio-ecol
Vårt fokus är forskning på ledskada, huvudsakligen i knäleden. Risken att drabbas är störst inom idrotten och den allvarligaste knäskadan är en korsbandsskada. I det korta perspektivet medför dessa skador smärta, svullnad, instabilitet samt nedsatt förmåga till fysisk aktivitet. Detta leder till försämrad livskvalitet. I det längre perspektivet ökar dessa skador kraftigt risken för artros (ledsvWe focus our research on joint injury, mainly of the knee. Sports is a common cause of knee injury with the most severe injury being cruciate ligament injury. I the short perspective, these injuries cause pain, swelling, instability and decreased activity level which often result in decreased quality of life. In the longer term, joint injury severely increases the risk of osteoarthritis although
