Environmental psychology conducts research, teaching and collaborations focused on the interaction between people and the environment from the perspective of the individual. The subject deals with how people experience their surroundings and are affected by them, as well as how humans affect the environment through their behaviour. The research encompasses the relationship to both the physical a
Three scenarios for globalisation. A view from cultural semiotics Göran Sonesson Using the concept of the auto-model, this text describes global society as a device people use to understand their relation to other cultures. Three scenarios are analysed in terms of a model each : first, we consider the hypertrophy of the Internal Other, which results from the displacements of sizeable populations
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
Protecting the borders is vital no matter the scale – be it a country, a private yard, or a living flesh. Every organism has its defense system and that is immunity. Yet, what immune mechanisms defend our borders from invaders simultaneously allowing for effective colonization by symbionts is a matter of debate. Mucocutaneous barrier is our physical border that is occupied by trillions of commens
The interaction between living groups A, C and G streptococci and IgG Fc was studied using human IgG, IgG Fc and IgG Fc-intermediate (Fci) fragments, chemically modified human IgG and fragment D of staphylococcal protein A (SPA). Diethylpyrocarbonate modification of His or N-acetylimidazole modification of Tyr of human IgG resulted in the loss of its capacity to inhibit the binding of radiolabelle
Cirka 20 procent av svensk befolkning beräknas drabbas av allergi. Behandlingen är huvudsakligen symtomatisk. Den kausala behandlingen är hyposensibilisering. Denna behandling är omfattande och tidsödande. Vi försöker effektivisera och förbättra behandlingen av luftburen allergi genom att utveckla nya behandlingsstrategier. Vi studerar också det fysiologiska sambandet mellan allergisk rinit och as
I denna tvärvetenskapliga och internationellt förankrade forskningsmiljö undersöker vi å ena sidan hur rätten hanterar människor i utsatta positioner och å andra sidan hur de kan tillvarata sin rätt. Utgångspunkten är att möjligheten att tillvarata sin rätt kan förhindras eller försvåras om man befinner sig i en utsatt position, som barn, ungdom, gammal, sjuk, fattig eller hemlös. Konkret innebär We study how law treats people in vulnerable positions and how these people can make use of law. We are also interested in how the judicial system views individuals in relations to their context and to societal structures. The possibility to make use of one’s right can be obstructed or aggravated in a vulnerable situation, as a child or youth or old, disabled, poor or homeless person. Our research
The group B streptococcus (GBS) is the most important cause of life-threatening bacterial infections in newborn infants. Protective immunity to GBS infection is elicited by several surface proteins, one of which, the beta protein, is known to bind human IgA-Fc. Here, we show that the beta protein also binds human factor H (FH), a negative regulator of complement activation. Absorption experiments
Investigating marine concrete by determining the chloride profile is a common way for making a prediction of the remaining service life of a structure. The most common methods of sampling concrete for this purpose is dust sampling by dry drilling or sampling cores which are analyzed by profile grinding in a laboratory. Now, a similar study has been performed, by simulating different sampling techn
Commençons par situer les travaux de Maurice Halbwachs en amont et en aval. En amont, on peut y voir une anticipation, à la fois de ce qui est devenu depuis un classique de la littérature sur l’architecture, « L’image de la cité » de Kevin Lynch, publié en 1960, et aussi, dans une direction assez différente, de la notion de cognition étendue, telle qu’elle est abordée en ce moment, dans la science
Suicide research is of importance to find new strategies to prevent suicide. Each year approximately 800 000 people in the world, and 1500 people in Sweden commit suicide. The suicide rate has not decreased over the last 15 years. The Unit for Clinical Suicide Research cover different areas within this field. • Area A: Psychopathology and risk factors. Our group investigates how psychopathology
This research is concerned with transnational diaspora mobilisation around external voting and diaspora organisations’ involvement in the homeland electoral process. There are several approaches that explain the political transnationalisation of the diasporic groups; yet, they fail to clarify (1) how some historical moments (e.g., extending the voting right to non-resident nationals) can generate
The following study focuses on the role of the Swedish mainstream media in constructing stereotypes and public opinion in regards to the issues of gender and the identity of immigrant minorities in Swedish society. The case of the honour killing of Fadime Shaindal is used to demonstrate the significance of media reporting in generating a social discourse concerning crime and its relation to cultur
Chemical communication by means of sex pheromones is central to the mating systems of a wide range of organisms. Because reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences, understanding how pheromones diverge is necessary for a complete comprehension of the speciation process. Moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) contributes highly relevant examples to the theory of speciation because subtle
