Översiktlig artikel om hur spanska sjukan 1918 drabbade Lunds universitet och särskilt dess studenter samt om hur vissa professorer i medicin förhöll sig till den nya smittan.

UNLABELLED: Lymphedema is a chronic, debilitating disease that has been described as the largest breast cancer survivorship burden. Debulking surgery has been shown to improve extremity volume, improve patient quality of life, and decrease the incidence of cellulitis in the literature. This procedure is routinely covered in numerous other developed countries, yet it is still inconsistently covered

Paleoklimatologi – läran om hur klimatet utvecklats genom jordens historia – ger oss referensramar för att sätta dagens klimat och möjliga framtida klimatförändringar i ett historiskt perspektiv. Till exempel visar nya analyser av historiska klimatarkiv att för norra halvklotet var perioden 1983-2012 sannolikt den varmaste på 1400 år. Vi ser även att vid den senaste värmeperioden, för 125 000 år s

PURPOSE Heart failure (HF) is a potentially life-threatening complication of treatment for childhood cancer. We evaluated the risk and risk factors for HF in a large European study of long-term survivors. Little is known of the effects of low doses of treatment, which is needed to improve current treatment protocols and surveillance guidelines.METHODSThis study includes the PanCareSurFup and ProCa

Aim: The aim is to identify important factors for immigrants’ health and well-being and for their use (or non-use) of primary health care (PHC) and other non-specialised services, and for possible ways that PHC can support healthy ageing of immigrants.Background: Older persons are an increasing share of the immigrant population in the global north, frequently in contact with various forms of healt

FN:s mellanstatliga klimatpanel IPCC lyfter i sin femte stora rapport (”Assessment Report 5”, AR5) fram att för att den långsiktiga globala uppvärmningen ska kunna begränsas till mindre än 2 grader, behöver de kumulativa växthusgasutsläppen begränsas till en viss maximal mängd. För att sannolikt uppnå en sådan klimatstabilisering uppgår det totala utsläppsutrymmet, det vill säga mängden kol som få

Den observerade globala uppvärmningen sedan industrialismens början uppgår nu till nästan en grad, havsnivån har stigit och Arktis havsis och glaciärer smälter. Hur stor klimatförändringen och dess effekter till slut blir beror främst på utvecklingen av de klimatpåverkande utsläppen, speciellt koldioxid. De globala utsläppen behöver över tid begränsas till 3700 miljarder ton koldioxidekvivalenter,

Many countries use tax legislation as a cultural policy instrument. This includes tax incentives for arts organizations and their benefactors. This chapter analyzes what a tax incentive is, what its positive and negative sides are, and how governments use it to support the arts and cultural organizations. Tax incentives for giving, the possibility of paying tax with art, reduced value added tax ra

BackgroundThere is a need for the development of accurate, accessible and efficient screening instruments, focused on early-stage detection of neurocognitive disorders. The Geras Solutions cognitive test (GSCT) has showed potential as a digital screening tool for cognitive impairment but normative data are needed.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to obtain normative data for the GSCT in cognitive

The field of artificial intelligence is seeing the increased application of satellite imagery to analyse poverty in its various manifestations. This nascent but rapidly growing intersection of scholarship holds the potential to help us better understand poverty by leveraging big data and recent advances in machine vision. In this study, we statistically analyse the literature in the expanding fiel

We show that for each d∈ (0 , 2] there exists a meromorphic function f such that the inverse function of f has three singularities and the Julia set of f has Hausdorff dimension d.

We study Siegel disks in the dynamics of functions from the tangent family. In particular, we prove that a Siegel disk is unbounded if and only if the boundary of its image contains at least one asymptotic value. Moreover, by using quasiconformal surgery we also construct functions in the above family with bounded Siegel disks.
