The Last Interglacial (LIG) experienced substantial changes in seasonal insolation compared with the present day, which may have affected the hydrography and water-mass exchange in the North Sea and Baltic Sea region. Here we investigate the effects of solar radiation and greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing on the regional climate by analyzing model simulations of the LIG (127 ka BP), pre-industrial (PI,
Fusobacterium necrophorum is the main causative agent of Lemierre’s syndrome, where the bacteria, following a benign initial oropharyngeal infection, cause septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein with subsequent pulmonary embolisation. Despite that data are lacking to suggest so, F. necrophorum has been described as normal tonsillar flora for decades. We investigated tonsillar carriag
Studier i retlig bevidsthed analyserer personers oplevelser, forståelser og handlinger relateret til deres retlige kontekst og viser, hvor mangfoldig og foranderlig retlig bevidsthed kan være som følge af retlig bevidstheds subjektive karakter. Tidligere litteraturstudier understreger retlig bevidstheds iboende forskellighed og fokuserer særligt på metodologiske fællestræk eller fællestræk indenfo
Med en fastighetssektor som står för 21 procent av nationella utsläpp i Sverige samt 35 procent av allt avfall inom EU finns det inget tvivel om saken, att branschen blir mer cirkulär är avgörande för planetens framtid. Det skriver Rebecka Lundgren, medlem i YSP samt doktorand och ledare för forskningsprojektet Shore vid Lunds universitet.
Den omedelbara ekologiska krisen vi står inför kräver åtgärder som minskar utsläpp nu, och inte enbart i framtiden. Att bygga mindre nytt, genom att använda befintliga byggnader och att använda byggnader mer effektivt, är två åtgärder som minskar och förhindrar utsläpp redan idag.
Adaptive reuse of existing buildings and shared spaces has been highlighted as a key circular economy concept in the built environment, with the former also having been found to increase social sustainability through the preservation of cultural heritage. However, circular economy research has focused on the economic and environmental dimensions, with the social dimension receiving less attention.
Pantomime is a means of bodily visual communication that is based on iconic gestures that are not fully conventional. It has become a key element in many models of language evolution and a strong candidate for the original human-specific communicative system (Zlatev et al. 2020). Although pantomime affords successful communication in many contexts, it has some semiotic limitations. In this study,
The real estate and construction sector is a major contributor to climate change, which presents opportunities for significant impact from the implementation of sustainable measures. Circular economy is a sustainability concept which has increased in popularity both in academia and in industry in the last decade. To date the focus in the field of circular economy in the built environment has been
Biodiversity loss is recognized as a grand challenge of the twenty-first century but ascertaining when a species is “lost” can be incredibly difficult—since the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. This may be a relatively easy task for large and conspicuous animals, but extremely difficult for those living hidden lives or at low population sizes. We showcase this challenge by focusing
Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, are an increasing health issue worldwide and cause about 3.9 million deaths annually. Despite this, little is know about the molecular mechanisms underpinning disease pathogenesis. Bronchial and alveolar remodeling and impaired epithelial function are typical characteristics of chronic respiratory diseases. In these patients, an increased number of mas
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) translate brain activity into digital commands for interaction with the physical world. The technology has great potential in several applied areas, ranging from medical applications to entertainment industry, and creates new conditions for basic research in cognitive neuroscience. The BCIs of today, however, offer only crude online classification of the user's cur
The extent to which increased liver fat content influences differences in circulating metabolites and/or lipids between low-birth-weight (LBW) individuals, at increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and normal-birth-weight (NBW) controls is unknown. The objective of the study was to perform untargeted serum metabolomics and lipidomics analyses in 26 healthy, non-obese early-middle-aged LBW men, i
Bioelectronics can potentially complement classical therapies in nonchronic treatments, such as immunotherapy and cancer. In addition to functionality, minimally invasive implantation methods and bioresorbable materials are central to nonchronic treatments. The latter avoids the need for surgical removal after disease relief. Self-organizing substrate-free organic electrodes meet these criteria an
