Använd fakultetsmedlen till anställningar och de externa medlen till forskning. På så vis blir både forskningen och arbetsmiljön bättre, menar Torsten Åkesson, professor i partikelfysik vid Lunds universitet.
Agenda 2030 Graduate School blogLund University Agenda 2030 Graduate School is a global, cutting-edge research school and collaboration platform for issues related to societal challenges, sustainability and the 2030 Agenda. The 17 PhD students from all faculties at Lund University enrolled with the Agenda 2030 Graduate School relate their specific research topics to the Sustainable Development Goa
Social science has always been interested in the effect of social mobility on fertility behavior, bringing mixed evidence. Part of this is due to an identification problem. Accordingly, conventional models cannot disentangle which effects are due to social mobility, background, or origin alone. Diagonal reference models accurately estimate the additional impact of social mobility, net of backgroun
This paper assesses the interrelation between economic inequality and social mobility in the long run. We use the unique Barcelona Historical Marriage Database for 1545-1880, accounting for more than 60,000 parents-children links. Analytically, we combine individuals' socioeconomic relative position for decomposing inequality individually in the overall population and by subgroups (social class) w
Per-Olof Hedvall ger en inblick i hur universell design startade och hur det tankeskiftet tar klivet in i arbetslivet med UUA. Om hur vi kan göra arbetslivet mer tillgängligt från början och minska risken för kategoriseringar och särbehandling.
Världens främsta universitet har radikalt färre studenter som läser på grundnivå och en mångdubbelt större forskarutbildning än de främsta svenska universiteten.Det skriver Torsten Åkesson, professor i partikelfysik vid Lunds universitet.

Displacement is one of the most pressing challenges faced by the society today. REGARD (REbuildinGAfteR Displacement) is a collaborative research project co-funded by EU Erasmus+ programme, which set out to investigate the role of built environment in the context of displacement. The REGARD project launched in September 2018 with an aim to develop competencies in rebuilding communities following a
Det inomobligatoriska medhjälparansvaret har länge ansetts bygga på oskrivna tillräknanderegler. Anta att B anlitar C för att utföra något som uppfyller B:s avtalsförpliktelse mot A och att C orsakar A skada genom handlingen eller underlåtelsen H. Frågan om B:s skadeståndsansvar mot A ska enligt dessa regler avgöras på samma sätt som om B själv hade företagit H. De centrala frågorna blir då om H s
Cancer cells reside amongst a complex milieu of stromal cells and structural features known as the tumor microenvironment. Often cancer cells divert and co-opt functions of stromal cells of the microenvironment to support tumor progression and treatment resistance. During therapy targeting cancer cells, the stromal cells of the microenvironment receive therapy to the same extent as cancer cells. S
Context-specific control mechanisms of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha in tumors exposed to oxygen shortage remain incompletely understood. In this issue, Zhang et al (2022) identify a deubiquitinase that differentially stabilizes HIF-2alpha in stem-like glioblastoma cells, suggesting potential implications for regulation of the hypoxic response in a wide array of
I princip alla kemiska processer och reaktioner som sker i miljön sker i närvaro av joner. I vatten sätter joner förutsättningarna för hur andra lösta partiklar samverkar. Joner är också direkt involverade i kemiska reaktioner som påverkar klimatet såsom ozonnedbrytning.I denna avhandling introduceras läsaren för de drivkrafter som styr molekylära system. Utifrån begreppen energi och entropi guidaEssentially all chemical processes and reactions occurring in the environment take place in the presence of ions. In water, ions set the conditions for how other dissolved particles interact. Ions are also directly involved in chemical reactions affecting the climate such as ozone depletion. In this thesis, the reader is introduced to the driving forces governing molecular systems. Starting from t
The consecutive binding of two potassium ions to a bis(18-crown-6) analogue of Tröger’s base (BCETB) in water was studied by isothermal titration calorimetry using four different salts, KCl, KI, KSCN, and K2SO4. A counterintuitive result was observed: the enthalpy change associated with the binding of the second ion is more negative than that of the first (ΔH°bind,2 < ΔH°bind,1). This remarkable f
This paper is a part of a larger project where we longitudinally (over seven years) analyze the implementation process of a policy instigating written assessment criteria for all courses in a traditional university faculty. The overarching question is: How does educational policy influence educational practice? The project adhere to a complex perspective on implementation (Gornitzka et al., 2005) This paper is a part of a larger project where we longitudinally (over seven years) analyze the implementation process of a policy instigating written assessment criteria for all courses in a traditional university faculty.
