Redogörelse för H C Andersens besök i Lund 1839, 1840 och 1865.

Urbana, pluviala översvämningar orsakar stor skada på infrastruktur, byggnader och stadslivet under och efter extremregn. I den här studien har anmälningar och rapporter från försäkringsbolag och VA-huvudmannen i Malmö, VA Syd, analyserats spatialt. Målsättningen var att få en bättre förståelse för de mekanismer som påverkar pluviala översvämningar, dvs. översvämningar från intensiva regn, ibland Urban, pluvial flooding severely effects infrastructure, buildings and urban life during and after extreme rainfall. In this study, spatial analyses of flood claims from insurance companies and the water utility company of Malmö, VA Syd, are used to better understand the mechanisms and characteristics of pluvial flooding. The same data sets are used to analyse how blue-green infrastructure impacts

Vi vet idag att en omställning av transportsektorn är avgörande för uppfyllandet av de klimatpolitiska målen och FN:s 2030-mål. Såväl forskare som praktiker har därför framhävt behovet av att öka andelen energieffektiva transportslag som gång, cykel och kollektivtrafik. Samtidigt pågår det idag en snabb teknikutveckling inom transportområdet och idag sker mycket av innovationsarbetet genom offentl

Multiple scattering of electromagnetic waves by a discrete collection of scatterers is a well-studied subject, and many excellent treatments are found in the literature. The deterministic analysis of the scattering problem in this chapter is an extension of the problems treated previosly. Moreover, the present analysis generalizes the established results in two previous papers to a geometry with a

Zinc status was evaluated in 30 subjects with Crohn's disease. Intestinal resection had previously been performed in 23 of the subjects. The concentrations of zinc were determined in plasma, erythrocytes, percutaneous muscle biopsies, and in urine collected during 24 hours. The results were compared with those in 19 healthy controls. Most of the patients had a normal zinc status. The levels of zinZinc status was evaluated in 30 subjects with Crohn's disease.

Patent citations added by examiners are often used as indicators of technological impact and knowledge flows, despite various criticisms. In this study we analyze the distribution of examiner patent citations according to patent characteristics in order to show their limitations. According to our findings, the number of applicant citations included is dependent on the science-base of the technolog

Till bilden av den unge Halldór Laxness (1902–1998) som enfant terrible på Island hörde hans normstridiga stavning och interpunktion, inte oväsentligt i ett land där språknormering gärna blir föremål för symbolstrider. Vid översättning normaliseras dessa språkliga nivåer regelmässigt, även om det finns skäl att anta en generell utveckling under 1900-talet mot ökad adekvans (≈ trohet) […] I förenin

Banana starch was isolated and used for preparation of two types of cookies. Chemical composition and digestibility tests were carried out on banana starch and the food products, and these results were compared with corn starch. Ash, protein, and fat levels in banana starch were higher than in corn starch. The high ash amount in banana starch could be due to the potassium content present in this f

In the last few decades it has become ever clearer that humankind faces many serious environmental challenges. As the corporate sector has been identified as an important actor to address these challenges, understanding why certain companies choose to adopt sustainability initiatives, while others do not, is an important question. However, little previous research has addressed how sustainability

this paper considers flow around arbitrarily shaped objects. The boundary conditions on the solidboundaries have been applied by replacing the boundary with a surface force distribution on the surface,such that the required boundary conditions are satisfied. The velocity on the boundary is determined byinterpolation or by local (Gaussian space) average. The source terms are determined iteratively

År 1899 bröt det andra boerkriget ut. Dess koppling till Lunds universitet är kanske inte omedelbart uppenbar, men faktum är att åtminstone en lundastudent begav sig till Sydafrika som frivillig i vad han själv kallade för ett ”ovanligt intressant” krig:Arkivarien vid universitetsarkivet Henrik Ullstad berättar hans historia.

With the emergence of children’s literature in the modern sense in the eighteenth century, new genres of literature especially intended for young readers came into being. In addition, several well established genres, one of which was the Aesopic fable, were adapted and redirected to augment the growing children’s library. Focussing partly on a Scandinavian context, this article outlines fable’s ev

BACKGROUND: Diesel engine exhaust causes adverse health effects. Meanwhile, the impact of renewable diesel exhaust, such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), on human health is less known. Nineteen healthy volunteers were exposed to HVO exhaust for 3 h in a chamber with a double-blind, randomized setup. Exposure scenarios comprised of HVO exhaust from two modern non-road vehicles with 1) no aftert

Utbildningsstyrelsen har i samarbete med undervisnings- och kulturministeriet börjat utveckla rektorsutbildningarna mera målmedvetet än tidigare, i synnerhet de utbildningsprogram för läroanstalternas ledning som finansieras via programmet Kunnig (Osaava). En åtgärd som ansetts vara nödvändig som underlag för utvecklingsarbetet har varit att kartlägga olika länders praxis för utbildning av läroansThe Finnish National Board of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture, has started to develop the training of rectors in a more systematic way by utilizing the funds which were allocated for the Osaava programme. One of the pre-liminary measures in this regard included a survey concerning the continuing education practices of school leaders on a worldwide basis. The
