Reading An Yu’s Poetry (Preface)

Postgraduate education has been recognised as a key to bring about societal change. While further capacity building is imperative in this regard in East Africa (Wao et al., 2022), we will in this study focus on how supervisors function as important role models to their students (Brodin et al., 2020). We assume that supervisors’ own approaches to societal change affect their supervisor relationship

Alla de stora ideologierna har sina ytterligheter. Socialismen har kommunism, konservatismen fascism och liberalismen libertarianism, även benämnd anarkokapitalism, som följeslagare. För den som finner det mödan värt att avsätta ett par timmar åt sistnämnda ”ism” kan Brian Dohertys lilla bok Modern Libertarianism: A Brief History of Classical Liberalism in the United States (Cato Institute 2024) v

Improving agricultural sustainability is a global challenge, particularly for China's high-input and low-efficiency cropping systems with environmental tradeoffs. Although national strategies have been implemented to achieve Sustainable Development Goals in agriculture, the potential contributions of crop switching as a promising solution under varying future climate change are still under-explore

Stem cells are unique, undifferentiated cells that have the ability to both replicate themselves and develop into specialized cell types. This dual capability makes them valuable in the development of regenerative medicine. Current development in stem cell research has widened their application in cell therapy, drug discovery, reproductive cloning in animals, and cell models for various diseases.

This thesis compares the costs and greenhouse gas emissions of long haul trucks powered by battery electric and fuel cell electric technology in Sweden. The study conducts a life cycle assessment of both the trucks, focusing on CO2 emissions during production and use phases, and evaluates the total cost of ownership, considering vehicle cost, fuel, maintenance, and resale value. The data inputs ar

This white paper presents a comprehensive biobanking framework developed at the European Cancer Moonshot Lund Center that merges rigorous sample handling, advanced automation, and multi-omic analyses to accelerate precision oncology. Tumor and blood-based workflows, supported by automated fractionation systems and standardized protocols, ensure the collection of high-quality biospecimens suitable

Fires in buildings present life-threatening scenarios where rapid decision-making and timely evacuation are paramount. Significant advancements in understanding evacuation decision-making have been made, though little research addresses the role of memory in this process. Memory plays a crucial role in how individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to information which, during fire evacuation, c

This contribution investigates the nexus of legal and economic dimensions in integrating sustainability enhancements into the assessment of anticompetitive agreements under Article 101(3) TFEU, particularly in light of the Commission’s recent Guidelines on Horizontal Cooperation. It is demonstrated that whilst the narrative of market failure at large, and the concept of sustainability failure spec

The Restricted Syndrome Decoding Problem (RSDP) is a variant of the well-known syndrome decoding problem. It has been recently turned into a post-quantum signature scheme named CROSS by Baldi et al.. It is a scheme highlighted for being computationally friendly and providing a compact signature and public key size. This paper investigates an Oracle-based definition of the RSDP that has already pro

Companies increasingly rely on web-based idea management systems (IMS) to source innovative ideas from their employees and external contributors. While existing research emphasizes the critical role of expert feedback in shaping ideators' subsequent contributions, there remains a limited understanding of how various types of feedback—and their interplay—affect future idea success. Grounded in feed

Mobile stroke units (MSUs), which are specialized ambulances equipped with a brain imaging device and staffed with trained healthcare personnel, have the potential to provide rapid on-site diagnosis and treatment for stroke patients. However, efficient access to prehospital stroke care requires optimizing the placement of MSUs. The MSU allocation problem has been previously solved using a traditio

Flyxensjön, som utgör källan till avrinningsområdet, har god vattenkvalitet. Men när floden rinner vidare och korsar flera torvmarker försämras vattenkvaliteten avsevärt, vilket understryker det akuta behovet av att undersöka påverkansfaktorerna i detta avrinningsområde. Denna studie undersöker de rumsliga och tidsmässiga variationerna i vattenkvaliteten längs Kåtån, från Flyxensjön till sjön KöseThe Lake Flyxen, as the headwater of the watershed, maintains good water quality. However, as the river flows downstream and intersects several peatlands, the water quality deteriorates significantly, highlighting the urgent need to investigate the influencing factors in this watershed. This study examines the spatial and temporal variations in water quality along the Kåtån River from Flyxen Lake

Open-source microscopes like the PlanktoScope have recently gained attention as affordable tools for studying plankton diversity. Compared to commercial systems, they are low-cost, modular, and suitable for both scientific research and citizen science projects. In this study, we assembled and tested the PlanktoScope v.2 system to evaluate its performance in identifying and quantifying freshwater a
