New publication in the International Journal of Epidemiology AbstractWe propose methods to determine the minimum number of subjects remaining at risk after which Kaplan-Meier survival plots for time-to-event outcomes should be curtailed, as, once the number remaining at risk drops below this minimum, the survival estimates are no longer meaningful in the context of the investigation. The size of t

Understanding interface formation between InAs semiconductors and hafnium dioxide insulating layers Most semiconductor devices are still based on silicon, even though other semiconductor materials such as InAs have superior electrical properties. The problem with these materials is that their interface towards thin insulating layers, which are needed for e.g. transistor processing, contains many d

Sweden has got its first seven Tesla MRI scanner. The 40 ton scanner had to be lowered into place at the Lund University Bioimaging Centre (LBIC) at Skåne University Hospital. Until now, the most powerful MRI scanners in Sweden that are used on humans have had a magnetic field of three Tesla. The weather was kind when the over 40 ton MRI scanner was lifted into the hospital. The new MRI scanner is

Sharing economy on a digital platform is a subject of interest for tourism researchers Mia Larson and Cecilia Cassinger. One insight from their project is that businesses are having a hard time recruiting and building their community. The two-year BFUF-funded project ”Digitalisation and visualisation of guide services” was concluded with a workshop on 20 november.Researchers Mia Larson and Cecilia

To create a functional urban environment for people, the environment and biodiversity, cities need to make careful considerations. Urban densification can be positive, for example in terms of reducing car traffic and providing better services to more people. At the same time, it can be at the expense of green spaces and human health. Johanna Alkan Olsson is a senior lecturer at CEC and has been re

Have you made adjustments to your garden to make it more welcoming for pollinators? If so, you have probably made a valuable contribution, according to a new study from Lund University. The researchers evaluated the national ‘Operation: Save the Bees’ campaign, and their results indicate that what private individuals do in their gardens really can make a positive difference. The fact that pollinat
