ObjectivesThis study measures public health policies' and healthcare system's influence, by assessing the contributions of avoidable deaths, on the gender gaps in life expectancy and disparity (GGLD and GGLD, respectively) in the United States (US) and Canada from 2001 to 2019.MethodsTo estimate the GGLE and GGLD, we retrieved age- and sex-specific causes of death from the World Health Organizatio

The construction of large hydro infrastructures often causes severe socio-environmental issues. When the facility is projected on transboundary rivers, such as the Nile, these issues may become political and involve a much greater number of actors. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is provoking significant geopolitical tensions in the Horn of Africa since it involves two of the most dynam

The actualization of affordances can often be accomplished in numerous, equifinal ways. For instance, an individual could discard an item in a rubbish bin by walking over and dropping it, or by throwing it from a distance. The aim of the current study was to investigate the behavioral dynamics associated with such metastability using a ball-to-bin transportation task. Using time-interval between s

According to popular understandings, children grow from a state of dependence to eventually become independent adults. Interdependence helps to disrupt the in/dependence binary and is a useful concept for making sense of the experiences young people with variations in sex characteristics in relation to healthcare. This study used semi-structured interviews with 32 health professionals, 33 caregive

This chapter analyzes how Lundin Oil responded publicly and legally to accusations of complicity in human rights violations connected to its operations in southern Sudan. Since receiving a concession in Block 5A in 1997, the company has faced persistent accusations from civil society organizations. In 2010, the Swedish Prosecution Authority launched a preliminary investigation, and in 2023, two fo

Denna rapport bygger på fem års samarbete med lokalprojekt och campusutveckling vid Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Lunds universitet. Medutgångspunkt i konkreta projekt, gemensamma reflektioner och relevantforskning belyser författarna hur organisatoriska, kulturella och strukturellaförutsättningar påverkar arbetet med lokaler i universitetsmiljöer.

The harm that pathogens cause to hosts during infection, termed virulence, varies across species from negligible to a high likelihood of rapid death. Classic theory for the evolution of virulence is based on a trade-off between pathogen growth, transmission and host survival, which predicts that higher within-host growth causes increased transmission and higher virulence. However, using data from

The MAX IV laboratory is a Swedish national laboratory for synchrotron radiation hosted by the Lund University. It will operate two storage rings to produce synchrotron light of very high intensity and quality over a broad wavelength range. A linear accelerator will feed these storage rings in topping up mode as well as serve as an electron source for a short pulse facility built on its extension.

The search for planets around white dwarf stars, and evidence for dynamical instability around them in the form of atmospheric pollution and circumstellar disks, raises questions about the nature of planetary systems that can survive the vicissitudes of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). We study the competing effects, on planets at several AU from the star, of strong tidal forces arising from the

Abstract in UndeterminedPollutants in the air can be in gaseous and particle (solid and liquid) phases. Interactions between these phases occur. The components are emitted to the air by different source mechanisms such as evaporation, disintegration of bulk material and chemical reactions. The significance of different transport mechanisms is, for airborne particles, dependent on the aerodynamic p

Issues of sustainable agriculture have much relevance and urgency for the sustainable production of non-eatable products that have an agricultural origin, such as biofuels. In the chapter the opinion is expressed that joint legal regulations on sustainable use of natural resources and sustainable farming methods for eatable and non-eatable products of an agricultural origin can be an efficient sol
