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
Background: To evaluate and describe the cone function in the normal and lesioned rabbit retina using the multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). Methods: Twelve animals underwent a two-port vitrectomy with subsequent retinectomy in one eye. The area of removed retina was located in the nasal part of the visual streak, and measured approximately 1-2 disc diameters. Both eyes were investigated with m

In recent years, several Swedish companies have been accused in the media, by NGOs, and via legal proceedings of engaging in criminal activities. Two of these companies, TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum have been the focus of substantial public attention. During the years following the revelations that TeliaSonera, a partly state owned telecommunications company, had committed bribery offences in
Biografisk skildring av lundaalumnen och konstnären Wilhelm Angeldorff (1864-?) inklusive uppgifter om dennes föräldrar Christopher Olofsson Angeldorff (1808-1866) och Helène Angeldorff, född Österberg (1832-1911).
This is an overview article regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential normative implications. Technology has always had inherent normative consequences not least due to AI and the use of algorithms. There is a crucial difference between algorithms in a technical sense and from a social-science perspective. It is a question of different orders of normativity - the first related to th
Den andra av två artiklar rörande det fängelse, den s k proban, som Lunds universitet hade under den tid lärosätet ägde egen jurisdiktion över anställda och studenter. Denna andra del behandlar studentoroligheter under tidigt 1800-tal, den oklara frågan var proban var placerad under 1800-talet samt några av de sista studenterna att spärras in häri under 1830- och 1840-talen, dels för brott, dels s
This paper examines virtual manifestations of “sad girls” on the media platform Tumblr. Here users write about their struggles with mental illness, revealing a set of shared experiences that encompass both psyche and body. Predominant narratives of what it means to be mentally ill are questioned, and alternative conceptualizations of the psyche are introduced. I argue that the sad girls legitimize
INTRODUCTION: Decreased dopaminergic activity - as reflected by lower levels of the major metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) - may be involved in the pathophysiology of attempted suicide. An inverse association has also been found between dopaminergic activity and clinical symptoms of depression and anxiety in non-suicidal individuals. The aim of this study was to asse
In the last two decades, health promotion strategies have gained significant attention in end-of-life care contexts—engendering greater focus on community and informal care in policy and healthcare spheres in liberal welfare-states. The emergence of health-promoting palliative care (HPPC) in the Nordic context presents a unique challenge to the abiding social contract of care which emphasizes the
This report relates to GIROD WP1 – “Development of a calculation model”. WP1 consists of four sub-WPs: 1.1 “Theoretical work”, 1.2 “Bond line tests”, 1.3 “Tests for calibration” and 1.4 “Calibration of model”.In WP1.1 theoretical models for rational prediction of pull out strength have been developed. The models include a very simple ideal plastic model, a linear elastic fracture mechanics model,
The food and beverage industry is one of the most water-intensive industries, with water required for various processes (e.g., washing, cooking, cleaning) at almost every stage of the production, as well as being a key constituent in many food and drink products. Therefore, a real-time efficient water management strategy is imperative, and the novel internet of things (IoT)-based technologies can
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
This study follows on from a network-based assessment redesign project at a Canadian university, to investigate factors relating to academic engagement and sustained implementation. The project was designed with mini-grants, embedded support and a community of practice. Assessment facilitators worked in discipline clusters to achieve mutual goals for assessment reform targeted at authentic develo
I am not convinced that the challenge for self-adaptive software is how to handle unexpected changes. I believe that the real challenge is how to characterise the uncertainty that the self-adaptive software has to handle. Once a proper characterisation of the uncertainty is in place, I think handling unanticipated changes and situations becomes a lot simpler. What is difficult is to know what rang
