Based on the principle of Freedom of Association, sports traditionally hold a unique role in society with a significant level of autonomy. This autonomy has allowed Sports Governing Bodies to establish their own rules and regulatory frameworks with limited external interference and has led to the perception that the governance of sports operate outside the general legal society. Over time however,
Purpose: The emphasis on early diagnosis to improve cancer survival has been a key factor in the development of cancer pathways across Europe. The aim of this analysis was to explore how the emphasis on early diagnosis and timely treatment is reflected in patient's accounts of care, from the first suspicion of colorectal or lung cancer to their treatment in Denmark, England and Sweden. Method: We
This thesis provides new insights into parents’ patterns of daily occupations. It proceeds from the basis of an occupational perspective on family life, using an occupational lens to understand how, when and where individuals spend their time. In recent decades, lifestyles have changed worldwide and the transition into an increasingly sedentary lifestyles is a major health concern, the origins whi
Vår multidisciplinära forskning fokuserar på personer med neurodegenerativa sjukdomar (såsom Parkinsons sjukdom och kognitiva sjukdomar), inklusive personer som har en ökad risk att utveckla sådana sjukdomar. En tidig upptäckt möjliggör tidigt stöd och rehabilitering. Vår forskning identifierar tidiga tecken, konsekvenser, prognostiska faktorer och behov av åtgärder. Forskningen avser även att ökOur multidisciplinary research focus on people with neurodegenerative diseases (ND), such as Parkinson’s disease and major neurocognitive disorders (dementia). We also include people at risk of developing ND. Early detection facilitates timely support and rehabilitation. Our research aims to determine early signs, consequences, unmet needs, and prognostic factors. We also aim to gain an increased
Network-based biocomputation (NBC) relies on accurate guiding of biological agents through nanofabricated channels produced by lithographic patterning techniques. Here, we report on the large-scale, wafer-level fabrication of optimized microfluidic channel networks (NBC networks) using electron-beam lithography as the central method. To confirm the functionality of these NBC networks, we solve an
This study explored how non-signers exploit their gestural repertoire during a process of handshape conventionalisation. We examined how communicative context, interaction and time affect the transition from iconically-motivated representations to linguistically-organised, generalised forms. 100 non-signers undertook a silent gesture-elicitation task, describing pictures in one of four conditions:
Vårt övergripande forskningsmål är att hitta nya sätt att behandla patienter med metastaserande bröstcancer. Även om stora framsteg i hur vi behandlar bröstcancerpatienter har gjorts under de senaste decennierna så får många patienter fortfarande återfall och metastaserande bröstcancer är fortfarande en obotlig sjukdom. Genom att identifiera signalvägar som är aktiva i metastaser och studera riktaOur ultimate research goal is to find improved ways to treat patients with metastatic breast cancer. Although significant progress in treatment strategies has been made during the last decades, many breast cancer patients still relapse and to date metastatic breast cancer remains an incurable disease. We aim to identify the signalling pathways active in recurrent disease in order to study response
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling presenterar en teori om hur utforskande och hantering av verktyg kan få människor att överskrida förutfattade begränsningar. Personer med grava kognitiva funktionshinder har mycket svåra begränsningar i sina förutsättningar att delta i aktiviteter som kan skapa mål och mening och bidra till förändringar i deras liv. De har svårartade inskränkningar närThe Driving to Learn project explored possible achievements of training people with cognitive disabilities in a joystick-operated powered wheelchair utilizing the grounded theory approach. Theoretical sampling led the concomitant collection and analysis of data. During a period of 12 years, 45 participants with profound cognitive disabilities, aged 12 months to 52 years, were engaged in the projec
The overall purpose of this work was to explore how video recordings can contribute to the process of optimising occupational radiation protection in image-guided interventions. Video-recorded material from two image-guided interventions was produced and used to investigate to what extent it is conceivable to observe and assess dose-affecting actions in video recordings. Using the recorded materia
Introduction: Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) is a new lifestyle intervention for mental health services users, developed to support meaningful engagement in daily activities and a balanced lifestyle. This study aimed at exploring the BEL participants’ process of making lifestyle changes. Methods: This constructivist grounded theory study took place in Sweden from 2013–2017 and explored the processe
The design of biorefineries based on farmyard manure remains unknown, because various groups have obtained disparate results. These differences have been attributed to the composition of the material—an explanation that this study intends to develop. Several biorefinery layouts were tested in the laboratory for animal beddings with various manure contents, and the same result was obtained in all c
Diagnostik av cancer avseende typ och ursprung är tillsammans med hur avancerad cancern är och om vissa särskilda tumöregenskaper föreligger de viktigaste faktorerna för val av behandling. Cancer diagnostiseras i de flesta fall med hjälp av mikroskop. Cancer i lunga kan vara svårdiagnostiserad då man ofta har tillgång till begränsad mängd vävnad från provtagning från tumören, och immunhistokemiskaDiagnostics of cancer concerning type and origin is, together with cancer stage and some specific tumor characteristics, the most important factors for treatment selection. Most cancers are diagnosed using a microscope. Pulmonary cancers may be tricky to diagnose as there is often limited tissue to examine from the tumor sampling, and immunohistochemical analyses are often necessary for subtyping
Genom att kombinera kunskapen från kliniskt aktiva läkare och forskare tror vi att vi snabbt och effektivt kan få kunskap om de spektrala egenskaperna hos hudcancer och jättecellartrit och översätta detta till avbildningsverktyg för detektion av tumörgränser och diagnostik. Genom att mäta blodflöde under och efter periorbital rekonstruktiv kirurgi strävar vi efter att uppdatera kirurgiska teknikerBy combining the knowledge of clinically active medical doctors and researchers we believe that we can rapidly and effectively gain knowledge on the spectral properties of skin cancer and giant cell arthritis and translate this into imaging tools for tumor border outlining and diagnosis. Through monitoring of blood flow perfusion during and following periorbital reconstructive surgery we aim to up
Regeringen beslutade 2009 om en satsning på strategiska forskningsområden, som ett led i att skapa världsledande forskning, på rekommendation av Vetenskapsrådet, Fas, Formas, Vinnova och Energimyndigheten.
Lunds universitet har 11 strategiska forskningsområden, vars verksamhet spänner över i princip alla fakulteter och ofta är tvärvetenskaplig, för vilka LU årligen erhåller ca 190 MSEK i In 2009, the government decided to invest in strategic research areas, as part of creating world-leading research, on the recommendation of the Swedish Research Council, Fas, Formas, Vinnova and the Swedish Energy Agency..
Lund University has 11 strategic research areas, the activities of which span virtually all faculties and are often interdisciplinary, for which LU annually receives ab
