Lund 2019-09-24 Hur ska man bo när pensionen är låg? Vi på Lunds universitet söker deltagare till en forskningsstudie om boende bland äldre som har låg pension. Antalet personer över 65 som har en pension under 12.100 kr/månad ökar oroväckande. Dvs. under relativa fattigdomsgränsen. I media har det bla framkommit att äldre som bor i villa har svårt att få lån på banken för att renovera. Det kan oc

14 oktober 2026 18:00 till 19:30 | Föreläsning Idag produceras lika mycket plast som mänsklighetens totala vikt, varje år. Hur hamnade vi här – och vad kan vi göra åt det? Frågan är i hög grad politisk: den handlar om ansvar, styrmedel och intressen. Vem bär kostnaderna, vilka lösningar prioriteras och vilka möjligheter finns att förändra dagens system?

18 mars 2026 18:00 till 19:30 | Föreläsning Klimatförändringarna är inte längre ett avlägset hot, utan skadar redan människors hälsa på olika sätt och riskerar att vända de senaste decenniernas framsteg inom global folkhälsa. Människor drabbas av nya sjukdomar och utmaningarna för hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet ökar. De kommande decennierna kommer inte bara att bli varmare, utan också sjukare. I den

The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the role of interatrial conduction defects in the genesis of lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using combined approach of non-invasive signal-averaged P-wave ECG, invasive electrophysiological (EP) studies, anatomical studies and animal experiments. Non-filtered signal-averaged P-wave ECG revealed irregularities in orthogonal P-wave morphology and the

Abstract In-hospital patient safety is at times hampered, leaving general ward patients at considerable risk of gradual, even life-threatening, deterioration. In many European clinical settings, inappropriate nursing practice of bedside monitoring and management has recently been addressed as impending to in-hospital patient safety. Vital parameters have for two decades been known to deviate in in

Den digitala utvecklingen under 2010-talet har medfört en möjlighet för personer att dela varor och tjänster bortom den närmaste bekantskapskretsen. ”Delningsekonomi” är hur denna nya företeelse har kommit att benämnas. En rad plattformsföretag, varav Uber är en av de främsta, har introducerat nya affärsmodeller där tjänster erbjuds via digitala plattformar och utförs av privatpersoner. Frågan om Digital development during the 2010s has enabled private individuals to share goods and services beyond their immediate acquaintances. This new economic model has been dubbed as “the sharing economy”. Several platform businesses, of which Uber is leading, have introduced new business models where services are offered via digital platforms but performed by private individuals. The question of how t

This thesis describes attempts at estimating the uncertainty of the 2-metre temperature forecast error from a probabilistic point of view, utilizing Bayesian neural networks. Bayesian neural networks are a type of machine-learning algorithms used to find patterns in data and make probabilistic predictions. Multiple fields of output data from the ECMWF IFS global model, along with temperature measu

In the light of a world-wide shortage of helium-3 (3He) a development of novel neutron detector systems (NDS) is necessary. This requires mathematical descriptions of the neutron scattering process in thin films. In this bachelor thesis our aim is to make a probabilistic model of the scattering of a single neutron travelling through a thin film, with main focus on the first scatter occurrence. The

This thesis aims to develop new synthetic methods and explore the possibilities to apply it in the total synthesis of natural products.Chapter 2 deals with a mild procedure for the synthesis of a-keto amides by a-oxidation of the corresponding aketo amines mediated by pyrrolidine and TEMPO. The method can also be applied to the synthesis of a-keto thioamides and a-keto amidines.Chapter 3 deals wit

This paper analyses sexuality and relationship education (SRE) in a Swedish college programme aimed at young people with mobility impairments. Interviews and focus groups were conducted to explore students’ experiences of the structure, content and usefulness of SRE, and college personnel’s SRE practices. Results show that, although many of the issues covered are pertinent for all young people, be

We are in the midst of a water crisis. Scarcity, pollution and flooding are some of today’s key challenges for sustainable urban development. The reasons are manifold. Preventive measures are put on the back burner, while reactive measures, siloed governance approaches and power struggles are daily business, resulting in ineffective governance. The crisis is hitting the most vulnerable urban popul

Across today’s developed world, there is a clear mortality gradient by socioeconomic status for all ages. It is often taken for granted that this gradient was as strong—or even stronger—in the past when social transfers were rudimentary and health care systems were less developed. Some studies based on cross-sectional data have supported this view, but others based on longitudinal data found that

We present a three-year multidisciplinary research project that started in 2019 and is funded by FORTE (Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare). The theoretical aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of the principles that underlie successful communication between the sighted and the blind via audio description (AD). The aim of a series of experiments is to i

When mouse hippocampal neuronal cultures, 2-3 weeks in vitro, were transiently exposed to combined glucose and oxygen deprivation (100% argon, 5% CO2, in glucose-free medium) for 90 min, extensive neuronal degeneration had occurred after 24 h of reoxygenation. When these cultures were preincubated with cyclosporin A, a calcineurin inhibitor and a blocker of the mitochondrial permeability transitio

Abstract: The changes in the levels of tyrosine‐phosphorylated proteins in the cytosolic fraction of the rat hippocampus subjected to severe hypoglycemia were analyzed. A marked increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 43‐kDa protein was observed at 30 min of isoelectric EEG and 30 min and 1 h of recovery. Immunostaining of the same blot with antibody against mitogen‐activated protein (MAP) kinas

Neuronal protein synthesis is severely depressed following stress such as heat-shock, hypoxia, and hypoglycemia. Following reversible cerebral ischemia, protein synthesis is transiently inhibited in ischemia-resistant areas, but persistently depressed in vulnerable brain regions. Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (elF-2) activity, that is, the formation of the ternary complex elF-2 · GTP · initiator

Abstract: The changes in the levels of protein kinase C [PKC(α, βII, γ)] were studied in cytosolic and particulate fractions of striatal homogenates from rats subjected to 15 min of cerebral ischemia induced by bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries and following 1 h, 6 h, and 48 h of reperfusion. During ischemia the levels of PKC(βII) and ‐(γ) increased in the particulate fraction to
