PURPOSE: The formation and spreading of market-, management- and individual-rights discourses into society, as well as the movement of consumerism, have paved the way for a transformation of the linguistic usage. The transformation suggests that the view of the care seeker has shifted from a waiting patient, via a consumer to a customer creating value. Another example of the process is that the fo
One way for manufacturing companies to gain competitive advantage in today’s business environment is to complement the product offering with surrounding services that deliver superior value to the customer. Further, the demand for these surrounding services is influenced by market-specific customer requirements, surrounding competitive environment and local prerequisites. Therefore, there is a nee
CIRCE är ett forskningscentrum som grundades 2025 med långsiktigt stöd från FORTE och Vetenskapsrådet. CIRCE har ett helhetsorienterat perspektiv på forskning om kvinnors cancer och samlar forskare från Medicinska fakulteten, Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten och Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet tillsammans med Skånes universitetssjukhus Comprehensive Cancer Centre för att bedriva tvärvetensCIRCE is a research center founded in 2025 with long-term support from FORTE and the Swedish Research Council. CIRCE takes a holistic approach to study all aspects of women’s cancers, bringing together researchers from the Faculties of Medicine, Social Sciences, and Economics & Management at Lund University, together with Skåne University Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Centre, to advance transdisci
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability and the validity of the self-reported questionnaire Olerud-Molander Ankle Score (OMAS) in subjects after an ankle fracture. Methods: When evaluating the test-retest reliability of the OMAS, 42 subjects surgically treated due to an ankle fracture participated 12 months after injury. OMAS was completed by the patients on t
The dendritic cell (DC) lineage encompasses a diverse population of cells with unique subtype-specific functions. In peripheral blood, four DC subsets have been identified based on their distinct expression of CD1c, CD141, CD16, and CD123, and these subpopulations exhibit functional properties in immune responses. However, their respective roles in allergic diseases, such as rhinitis, are unclear.
Tetra Pack Technical Services provides spare parts for Packaging and Processing product segments. Despite similar inventory management, the processing segment consistently has a lower spare parts service level. Understanding the reasons behind this disparity is crucial, especially with the anticipated increased growth of the Processing segment in the future. The purpose of this thesis is twofold
The aim of this study was to examine the employees experiences of the collaboration between the probation service, the social service and the labor office within the organization Krami. The study relies on six qualitative, semi structured interviews with two employees from each authority at two separate Krami offices. The organization aims to guide and help persons with former criminal backgrounds
MultiPark är ett translationellt forskningsnätverk som sträcker sig från preklinisk forskning till studier av livssituationer för patienter med Alzheimers och Parkinsons sjukdom samt relaterade hjärnsjukdomar. Vi syftar inte bara till att förbättra patienternas kroppsfunktion utan även deras aktivitet och delaktighet. MultiPark bygger på ett starkt samarbete mellan Lunds universitet och Skånes uniMultiPark (Multidisciplinary research focused on Parkinson's disease) is a translational programme that ranges from experimental pre-clinical research to studies on the life situation of patients with neurodegenerative disorders. Our programme not only aims at improving the overall function of patients, but also their acitivity and participation. This initiative relies on solid interactions betwee
Internationellt motsvaras svensk idé- och lärdomshistoria av flera olika forskningsinriktningar ”intellectual history”, ”cultural history” samt ”history of ideas” och ämnet har således en förhållandevis bred forskningsprofil. Här finns en äldrehistorisk inriktning liksom en sedan länge etablerad stark filosofihistorisk tradition och en senare inriktning mot begreppshistoria. Till detta kommer flerResearch in history of ideas and sciences at Lund University is broad. Our specialities include studies of early modernity, history of philosophy and a more recent emphasis on conceptual history. In addition to this, several researchers are showing an interest in the history of science, technology and medicine. These different orientations within the field of History of Ideas and Sciences at Lund
BackgroundAt least 50% of all ambulance assignments are deemed nonurgent, while 47–96% are initiated by someone other than the patient. Previous research has highlighted the importance of being taken seriously. However, additional knowledge of how significant others experience the situation when a patient is assessed as nonurgent is needed.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the person‐c
B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) is the most common pediatric malignancy and the most commonly diagnosed adult lymphoblastic leukemia. Recent advances have broadened the spectrum of B-ALL, with DUX4 gene fusions implicated in a subclass occurring in adolescents and young adults and harboring a favorable prognosis. DUX4 fusions have been challenging to identify. We aimed to determine wheth
The laboratory consists of a XenX x-ray irradiator (XStrahl) for experimental radiobiology, with supporting equipment for cell culture applications, such as laminar flow cabinets, CO2 incubators, and a hypoxia workstation. The XenX unit is designed as a radiotherapy machine in miniature. It consists of a 225 kV x-ray source, mounted on a rotatable gantry allowing irradiation of specimens from all
Previously it demonstrated that in the absence of Ca2+ entry, evoked secretion occurs neither by membrane depolarization, induction of [Ca2+]i rise, nor by both combined (Ashery, U., Weiss, C., Sela, D., Spira, M. E., and Atlas, D. (1993). Receptors Channels 1:217-220.). These studies designate Ca2+ entry as opposed to [Ca2+]i rise, essential for exocytosis. It led us to propose that the channel a
