This chapter examines the localized ambivalence surrounding the use of race in contemporary biomedicine: how race is constructed as both valid/relevant and invalid/irrelevant in a specific national setting. It is based on interviews with twenty-six expert professionals in Sweden who are directly or indirectly involved in clinical pharmaceutical research, including clinical researchers, research nu

This chapter provides an overview of the different optical sectioning methods that enable performing three dimensional (3D) imaging of possibly complex samples. It discusses their benefits and limitations regarding their penetration depth, their imaging speed, their photo-toxic effect or their complexity. Focusing on fluorescence imaging, the chapter dives into approaches that make it possible to

As we become increasingly conscious of the entangled nature of human existence, we need to become more attuned to the needs of other species, and things on this planet we are bound to. This presents us with an opportunity to rethink in whose interest we approach architectural design, and to bring vital voices into the process that have – until now – been unable to make themselves heard. We conduct

Peter Honeth 2015-12-17 Översyn av frågor rörande den konstnärliga fakulteteten 1. Uppdraget Lunds universitet har genom beslut av rektor uppdragit åt undertecknad att göra en översyn av vissa frågor rörande den konstnärliga fakulteten (Bilaga 1). Uppdraget innefattar att bedöma hur den konstnärliga fakultetens organisation har fungerat och att bedöma behov av eventuella förändringar. I uppdraget

A certain "star-product" formalism in scattering theory as developed by Redheffer is shown to also be naturally applicable to discrete-time linear least-squares estimation problems. The formalism seems to provide a nice way of handling some of the well-known algebraic complications of the discrete-time case, e.g., the distinctions between time and measurement updates, predicted and filtered estima

Computers and digital instruments change the way we think about ourselves and other people, demonstrated by an example with a girl who imagined that she had a computer in her brain where she could click on “Music” in the menu to hear music. This chapter argues that good music technology should allow play and unpredictable events and support a balance between challenge and ability. Digital instrume

Numerous species of nematodes have evolved to inhabit the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans, with over a billion of the world's population infected with at least one species. These large multicellular pathogens present a considerable and complex challenge to the host immune system given that individuals are continually exposed to infective stages, as well as the high prevalence in endem

Recent conceptual studies identify gain, normative and hedonic factors as three categories of motivations of consumer proenvironmental behavior. However, empirical understanding of how these motivations interact and affect proenvironmental behavior is limited. This study is based on a survey of car owners in Sweden (N = 573) and uses structural equation modeling to analyze the data. The empirical

The future of nations and nationalism appears to many to be more uncertain than ever in view of the growing interdependence of the planet. The question of whether globalization heralds the end of nationalism cannot be answered properly without distinguishing between nation and state. In the case of the state, the question is whether states can preserve their sovereignty intact in an age when polit

The chapter describes five examples of dedicated faculty development trajectories for educational leadership in research-intensive universities, focusing on their nature and effects. After discussing and elaborating on the concept of ‘educational leadership’, the chapter portrays and compares professional development trajectories for educational leadership in five research-intensive universities:

Ultrasonic consolidation (UC) has been proven to be a suitable method for fiber embedment into metal matrices. To aid successful embedment of high fiber volumes and to ensure their accurate positioning, research on producing microchannels in combination with adjacent shoulders formed by distribution of the melt onto unique UC sample surfaces with a fiber laser was carried out. This paper investiga

Background: Monitoring the quality of clinical learning environments (CLEs) is immensely important in medical education. Objective indicators of the quality of the CLE can be used to measure learner perceptions and to inform educational improvements; however, many established tools were not designed for use in clinical settings and are not theoretically grounded. Our aim was to apply a new tool to
