Climate denial and refusal remain central to the ontologies of far-right political projects in many of the countries most responsible for rising temperatures. This article demonstrates how misogyny facilitates the proliferation of obstructionist rhetoric. Specifically, the People’s Party of Canada’s (PPC) climate discourse is analyzed through a feminist lens anchored in Gramscian theorisations of
Creating thermally stable collagen mimetic peptides (CMPs) is a persistent challenge. Nature leverages covalent crosslinkings to stabilize collagen's signature triple helical tertiary structure and higher-order assemblies. Herein, crosslinkings between levodopa (Dopa) and lysine can covalently stabilize the triple helix in CMPs is demonstrated. Since alkaline conditions catalyze the oxidation of t
Gels formed from milk by renneting or acidification under quiescent conditions may subsequently show syneresis, that is, expel liquid (whey) because the gel (curd) contracts. Under quiescent conditions, a rennet-induced milk gel may lose two-thirds of its volume, and up to 90%, or even more, if external pressure is applied. Often, syneresis is undesired, for example, during storage of products lik
Integrated Continuous Biomanufacturing reduces manufacturing costs while maintaining product quality. A key contributor to high biopharmaceutical costs, specifically monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), is chromatography. Protein A ligands are usually preferred but still expensive in the manufacturing context, and batch chromatography under-utilizes the columns' capacity, compromising productivity to mai
The study provides preliminary results from a case comparison of road safety management in three African countries (Tanzania, Ghana, Zambia) with three EU countries, all with a great track record of excellence in traffic safety and practicing Safe Systems principles (Norway and Netherlands & Sweden), based on document analysis and qualitative interviews. Norway, Sweden, and The Netherlands are
The field of management research on applied artificial intelligence (AI) is growing rapidly as the technology is maturing in industrial applications. Due to the nascent state of the scientific discourse, it is hard to discern thematic focal points or how well managerial and technical topics are integrated. Based on 10,036 publications over 25 years, we map the topic landscape of AI-related managem
This paper describes an application of instant messaging to support extended online participatory workshops. We describe the development and application of Participatory Instant Messaging (PIM) within the context of two projects in Sweden, which both aimed to integrate migrant experiences into policy dialogues and societal awareness. The projects brought together artistic practice, research tradit
We investigated integrative physiological responses to eupnoeic exercise (EX), rebreathing exercise (RB), dynamic apnoea (DA) and dynamic apnoea with cold-water face immersion (DAFI) in 20 healthy participants. Trials involved non-steady-state cycle exercise at 60 W for an average duration of 66 s. With increases in heart rate and stroke volume, EX and RB increased cardiac output compared with bas
Regogörelse för när Lunds universitet 1844 erbjöds egendomen Häckeberga som donation, men på villkor som gjorde att regeringen beslöt att avböja gåvan.
In 2016, the average tax revenue as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) was 26.15 percent for OECD countries, but only 15.47 percent for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Some scholars attribute SSA countries’ weak tax capacity to administrative and technical challenges, their large informal sector, and colonial legacies (Burgess & Stern, 1993; Mkandawire, 2010). Others acknowledge that polit
This paper explores the challenges and barriers of forced migrants at the nexus of housing and social integration, presenting the outcomes of an international and interdisciplinary collaboration funded by the JPI Urban Europe programme. Research includes the case study cities Leipzig, Lund, Riga, and Vienna, utilizing primary and secondary data in a transdisciplinary process involving theoretical
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has many known dysregulated inflammatory proteins. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is a protease that sheds several proteins involved in COPD pathogenesis. The aim was to investigate ADAM17, its phosphorylated form (pADAM17) and its substrates in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and blood from COPD and control subjects. METHODS:
I en tid när bilder och videor dominerar sociala medieflöden har visuellt material blivit ett av de mest kraftfulla verktygen för att sprida desinformation. Rapporten Bildkunnighet och beredskap visar hur detta skifte förändrar både informationsmiljön och demokratiska förutsättningar. Med generativ AI blir det allt enklare att skapa verklighetstrogna, men helt fabricerade, bilder och filmer vilket
En diskussion om studenters möte med rollen som VFU-studenter, och betydelsen av social lyhördhet och kompetens.
I kapitlet diskuteras VFU-studenters komplexa situation i spänningsfältet mellan två professionella ordningar: en traditionell ordning (logik) respektive en politisk-rationalistisk dito.
BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by chronic inflammation driven by central nervous system (CNS)-resident immune cells such as microglia, especially during the progressive phase of the disease. The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R), a risk protein for MS, is ubiquitously expressed on immune cells. AFC-5128, a CNS-penetrating small molecule inhibitor of P2X7R, is a promising agent for the tr
