The ecological impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on phenological events such as reproductive timing is increasingly recognized. In birds, previous experiments under controlled conditions showed that ALAN strongly advances gonadal growth, but effects on egg-laying date are less clear. In particular, effects of ALAN on timing of egg laying are found to be year-dependent, suggesting an inter

Joachim Östlund undersöker de begrepp, berättelser och metaforer om krig som den svenska statsmakten använde sig av när den vände sig till folket genom de så kallade böndagsplakaten. Det handlar alltså om varierande representationer av krig i en specifik genre av material, över lång tidsaxel. Böndagsplakaten lästes alltsedan 1500-talet upp från predikostolarna och fungerade, tillsammans med övriga

Agnes von Krusenstjerna skrev ett brev till Birger Sjöberg (trol. 1926), där hon tackade för Kriser och kransar (1926. Det finns stora likheter mellan de båda författarskapen,främst i det att båda tematiserar det omedvetnas, ssk driftens roll i konst och samhälle, men också i det att båda gestaltar sinnesjukdom, själsliga sammanbrott. Båda drömmer om en försoning av drift och ande, och båda visar

We argue that there is a need for a more elaborate and sophisticated discussion of if, and then how, the public library fulfils its social role to con- tribute to democracy. Therefore, we have formed the Lund Critical Library Studies group with a shared interest of contributing to a more nuanced and rich discussion about public libraries. This allows us to engage in discussions on how the library

Årsboken ger en inblick i delar av den forskning kring socialt arbete med barn som sker vid Socialhögskolan. Den ger också en kort introduktion till verksamheten vid Socialhögskolan.

This paper discusses rock art in southern Scandinavia as a multisensory format, where both sight and touch would have contributed to the comprehension of the images. From a structural semiotic point of view, we suggest that rock art can be construed as an organised set of features, such as visual and tactile elements, organised into heterogeneous unities with dynamic relations between elements tha

The importance of networking is often emphasized in higher education teaching and learning. In this article we discuss significant networks and their impact on pedagogical development. We also share our experience of working in different kinds of networks. We focus on a Nordic project with the aim to develop digital learning objects in co-creation between librarians, students and teachers.

High sound levels related to medical equipment and high activity day and night, is a wellknown phenomenon in intensive care units (ICUs). This may result in poor sleep and prolonged recovery for the patients but may also be a precipitating factor for intensive care delirium (ICU delirium).The aim of this pilot study was to describe patients' responses to the sound environment in an ICU and to iden

Objectives: The present study aimed to identify multidimensional typologies of harmful alcohol use based on the Swedish Addiction Severity Index (ASI) assessment data on individuals aged 50 years and above.Methods: Latent class analysis examined 11 indicators from ASI data on 1747 individuals (men = 1255, women = 492) who reported they were troubled by alcohol problem at least one day in the past

Previous studies indicate that the sound environments normally present at hospitals in general and intensive care units in particular, may pose a risk for prolonged patient recovery and for the personnel, disruption of concentration, increased tiredness and possibly more errors. As part of a larger study of the effects of the sound environment in intensive care units (ICU), personnel response was

Purpose: Suspected airway foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common event in paediatric emergency units, especially in children under 3 years of age. It can be a life-threatening event if not diagnosed promptly and accurately. The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of an ultralow-dose CT (DLP of around 1 mGycm) with that of conventional radiographic methods (fluoroscopy

Background: While quantitative research has provided valuable information, studies presenting patients' experiences have been lacking in the field of knowledge of home mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was, therefore, to present patient views and suggestions about how to improve home ventilator care and treatment.Method: Data in the present study comprise 35 qualitative research interv

Aim: The aim was to interpret the interplay between critically ill patients and their next of kin in an ICU and to disclose a deeper understanding of the visiting situation. Method: A hermeneutic research design with non-participant observation was chosen as the data collection method. Ten observations of 10 patients and 24 loved ones over a 20-h period were conducted.
