Medellivslängden ökar och är idag över 80 år i 34 av världens länder, jämfört med i 19 länder år 2005. Detta ärpositivt, men den åldrande befolkningens hälsa är också en samhällsutmaning inte minst för välfärdssystemen.Hälso- och sjukvården riskerar blir särskilt belastad med allt fler vårdsökande äldre. Yrkesgrupperna inom hälsoochsjukvården har dessutom en hög medelålder och är samtidigt bland d

Public health care systems face major challenges. The burden of resource constraints and continuous demands of rationings urge decision makers in countries like Sweden, Norway and the UK to find new financial solutions. One proposal that has been put forward is co-payments. In this presentation we explore ethical problems associated with co-payments in publicly funded health care systems. The issuPublic healthcare systems face major challenges. The burden of resource con-straints and continuous demands of rationings urge decision makers in countries like Sweden, Norway and the UK to find new financial solutions. One proposal that has been put forward is co-payment, where patients are given the option to pay the public healthcare provider for additional care, or more expensive alternatives,

This thesis presents important steps towards performing high-intensity attosecond pump-probe experiments at the Lund high-intensity extreme ultraviolet (XUV) beamline, which followed two complementary paths: maximization of the XUV intensity available in the interaction region with a gas target, and providing attosecond temporal resolution.To maximize the energy of the XUV pulses generated via hig

The necessity of a canon had been restated, but literature, meanwhile, had lost a good share of its public. The self-referential syndrome evolved into an epidemic: there was a problem of reader-response approach at that moment. The public shrank and the cultural world became endogamous. This meant that a large part of the public was actually made of writers who craved for climbing the literary lad

This thesis examines two different impacts of sidestream treatment of digester supernatant via nitrification-denitrification in a sequenced batch reactor (SBR). One of the impacts is the detrimental formation of nitrous oxide, and the other is the positive boosting of nitrifiers to the mainstream process through bioaugmentation. The studies have been carried out in a full-scale wastewater treatmenThis thesis examines two different impacts of sidestream treatment of digester supernatant via nitrification-denitrification in a sequenced batch reactor (SBR).

Despite early reports and the contemporary consensus on microsaccades as purely binocular phenomena, recent work has proposed not only the existence of monocular microsaccades, but also that they serve functional purposes. We take a critical look at the detection of monocular microsaccades from a signal perspective, using raw data and a state-of-the-art, video-based eye tracker. In agreement with

Direct electrochemical measurements of glutamate release in vivo were combined with optogenetics in order to examine light-induced control of glutamate neurotransmission in the rodent brain. Self-referenced recordings of glutamate using ceramic-based microelectrode arrays (MEAs) in hippocampus and frontal cortex demonstrated precise optical control of light-induced glutamate release through channe

Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is often recommended as a bridging therapy during temporary interruptions in warfarin treatment, despite lack of evidence. The aim of this study was to see whether we could find benefit from LMWH bridging. We studied all planned interruptions of warfarin within the Swedish anticoagulation register Auricula during 2006 to 2011. Low-molecular-weight heparin bridgi

Det är lätt att bli nyfiken om man promenerar längs gatan i ett villaområde med rader av trädgårdar där olika projekt, stilar, material och växter avlöser varandra. Här lever människor med skilda erfarenheter, drömmar och ideal. De skapar sina egna miniatyrvärldar men delar samtidigt ljud, dofter, synintryck och gränser. Ett eget utomhus men på många sätt ett gemensamt utomhus. I den här boken utf

This is Part 1 of an article arguing for an extended application of Karl Marx’s insight that the apparent reciprocity of free market exchange is to be understood as an ideology that obscures material processes of exploitation and accumulation. Rather than to confine this insight to the worker’s sale of his or her labor-power for wages, and basing it on the conviction that labor-power is uniquely c
