Introducing RostyslavHi! My name is Rostyslav and I'm the student ambassador for the Master's programme in Service Management, Supply Chain Management. I am happy to answer any questions you might have about the programme, courses, student life, and life in Lund and Sweden via the Unibuddy Platform, where you can chat with me (see below). Please note that I cannot answer questions about the applic
Last three decades, China has experienced a stunning economic development, which has transformed the whole county on various levels. Until now, China has followed investment and export led growth and has become the world’s largest manufacturer. However, under the veil of rapid growth, social and economic imbalances have emerged causing a number of serious challenges facing China. Moreover, the Chi
Bakgrund: Tillgängligheten på text i elektronisk form har exploderat, framförallt med utvecklingen av internet. Även beräkningskpaciteten hos datorer de senaste 20 åren har haft en otrolig utveckling. Detta tillsammans har gjort det möjligt att analysera textmassor på ett mycket enklare sätt. Kairos Future har i ett joint venture tillsammans med IT-konsultföretaget A3J under det senaste året utvec
For many years, critics of the European Union copyright framework have raised concerns about the lack of legal recognition of exceptions and limitations to copyright-protected works and other protected subject matter, and argued that the European Union copyright framework favours the protection of intellectual property over fundamental rights. The debate about this imbalance reached new heights wh
This study explores the perceived significance of Sida’s funding in Cambodia’s education sector and how education-related organisations have adapted to the financial shortfall following Sida’s withdrawal. Drawing on Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), the research highlights the critical role Sida played as a valued donor, supporting a wide range of educational initiatives from primary to higher edu
Objective: This study examined two Death-Implicit Association Test versions targeting associations between the self-concept (standard identity D-IAT; iD-IAT) and internal versus external control (adapted control D-IAT; cD-IAT) and death among suicide attempters. Additionally, correlations with explicit psychological variables and psychometrics were explored. Method: 116 psychiatric inpatients (58.
This study contributes to the literature discussing food security in China. This study holds food security to rest on two complementary dimensions: food availability and food accessibility. This study looks at both dimensions. It examines the food availability dimension by evaluating the effects of government’s expenditures on agricultural science & technology on China’s grain output. Running
AbstractObjectives It is unclear how home environmental factors influence relocation decisions. We examined whether indoor accessibility, entrance accessibility, bathroom safety features, housing type, and housing condition were associated with relocations either within the community or to residential care facilities.MethodsWe used prospective data over 4 years from the nationally representative NObjectivesIt is unclear how home environmental factors influence relocation decisions.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is genetically characterized by the presence of the reciprocal translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11), resulting in a BCR/ABL gene fusion on the derivative chromosome 22 called the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. In 2-10% of the cases, this chimeric gene is generated by variant rearrangements, involving 9q34, 22q11, and one or several other genomic regions. All chromosomes hav
Context: Evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) provides a process for solving practical problems based on a rigorous research approach. The primary focus so far was on mapping and aggregating evidence through systematic reviews. Objectives: We extend existing work on evidence-based software engineering by using the EBSE process in an industrial case to help an organization to improve its auto
OBJECTIVE-Myocellular ATP synthesis (fATP) associates with insulin sensitivity in first-degree relatives of subjects with type 2 diabetes. Short-term endurance training can modify their fATP and insulin sensitivity. This study examines the effects of moderate long-term exercise using endurance or resistance training in this cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A randomized, parallel-group trial tes
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are structurally heterogeneous negatively charged polysaccharides. Endothelial GAGs, also known as glycocalyx, are involved in capillary permeability. In rat venules stimulated with proinflammatory substances ex vivo, the GAG-containing proteoglycan, syndecan-1, is shed from the endothelium. We wanted to investigate if we could trace the same response during septic shock
The purpose of our study was to develop specific, sensitive, objective assays for early detection of disseminated tumour cells in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) were chosen as markers because they are selectively expressed in epithelial cells with maintained expression in CRC. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR assays with RNA copy standa
Mutations in either mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or nuclear genes that encode mitochondrial proteins may lead to dysfunctional mitochondria, giving rise to mitochondrial diseases. Some mitochondrial myopathies, however, present without a known underlying cause. Interestingly, methylation of mtDNA has been associated with various clinical pathologies. The present study set out to assess whether mtDNA
Popular Abstract in Swedish Knäledsförslitning är vanligt. Ledsjukdom, med smärta och nedsatt funktion som följd, är den vanligaste kroniska sjukdomen hos äldre, vanligare än högt blodtryck, hjärtsjukdom och diabetes. Behandlingen av knäledsförslitning är fokuserad på smärtlindring. Till en början används vanligt mediciner mot smärtan, men senare i sjukdomsförloppet byts den smärtande leden ofta uThe overall purpose was to evaluate patient-relevant outcomes in patients with knee injury and post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee. A self-administered questionnaire, The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was developed by literature search, consulting an expert panel (including patients referred to physical therapy because of knee-related problems, orthopedic surgeons, and
Objective: To assess perioperative outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for percutaneous access. Methods: A prospectively collected international Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) database containing 5806 patients treated with PCNL was used for the study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the methods of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Streptococcus pyogenes, eller grupp A streptokocker, är en av de vanligaste sjukdomsframkallande bakterierna hos människan. De orsakar ofta relativt harmlösa och lättbehandlade ytliga infektioner i hals (halsfluss) och hud (svinkoppor) men kan också ge djupare och livshotande infektioner. Dessutom förekommer följdsjukdomar efter infektioner med grupp A streptoPathogenic bacteria often produce potent proteases capable of destroying host tissue thereby providing the bacteria with tools for spreading and nutrient access. This thesis describes how group A, C and G streptococci can acquire surface bound protease activity through an alternative mechanism, namely by binding and activation of the human protease precursor plasminogen. Group A streptococci of c
