This is "an account of variable responses from Swedish municipalities in terms of both adaptation and mitigation measures. By looking at the relationships between national and municipal policies, Langlais examines the adaptation barriers and acknowledges the role of 'visionary individuals' in some municipalities for initiating local actions unders similar institutional and governance conditions. H
Capacity development (CapDev) support through various Swedish public agencies (SPA) to their sister authorities in low- and middle-income countries has been a salient feature of Sweden’s institutional development cooperation since the1980s. Despite constituting a small percentage of Swedish aid, the scale and scope of SPAs engagement in CapDev work abroad deserves more attention than currently bei
Background: Good care of the dying has been defined as being able to die in the place of your choice, free from pain, cared for with dignity and supported by the best possible care. This definition underpinned the development of the ‘10/40 Model’ of care for the dying, in 2013. The model includes 10 ‘Key Principles’ that underpin 40 ‘Core Outcomes’ of care. It was necessary to update consensus on
Bridge monitoring is essential for ensuring their long-term safety, reducing disruptions, and supporting economic and social activities. Traditional monitoring techniques rely on periodic inspections and contact-based sensing systems, which, while effective, have limitations due especially to high installation and maintenance costs. Satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) o
Quantitative investigation of insect activity in their natural habitat is a challenging task for entomologist. It is difficult to address questions such as flight direction, predation strength and overall activities using the current techniques such as traps and sweep nets. A multi-spectral kHz remote detection system using sunlight as an illumination source is presented. We explore possibilities
This paper discusses the relationship between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the long-standing human rights system of the United Nations. Thematically, these two modes of global governance strongly overlap. Several SDGs are in line with human rights obligations. At the same time, the SDGs and human rights are based on divergent logics and constructed very differently. After capturing
Monika Class reflects on some of the theoretical underpinnings of a translational, post-pandemic medical humanities and suggests that the concept of “material translation” might offer a productive way forward.
Recent years have brought new directionality to university’s work with innovation – increasing the focus on addressing societal challenges and contributing to much broader frames for impact. Working with complex challenges, where no one actor can do everything by themselves, requires collaboration across actor groups (private sector, academia, public sector, civil society), industrial sectors, dis
Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents complex challenges due to its multifactorial nature, poorly understood etiology, and late detection. The mechanisms through which genetic and modifiable risk factors influence disease susceptibility are under intense investigation, with APOE being the major genetic risk factor for late onset AD. Yet the impact of unique risk factors on brain networks is difficult
Background: The debate over legalizing medical assistance in dying (assisted dying) is ongoing, also in Nordic countries such as Sweden where assisted dying is illegal. A 2020 survey by the Swedish Medical Association highlighted varied perspectives, with 41% of physicians supporting and 34% opposing legalization. Professionals in palliative care were more negative toward it. Objective:
Aims. Chronotropic incompetence and impaired heart rate (HR) recovery are related to mortality. Guidelines lack specific reference values for HR recovery. We defined normal values and studied blunted HR response and recovery and mortality risk. Methods and results. We included 9917 subjects (45% females) aged 18–85 years who performed a cycle exercise test. We defined normal values for peak HR, HR
Background: Keeping the umbilical cord intact the first minutes after delivery is beneficial for both term and preterm infants. However, this may be challenging in caesarean sections (CS) due to lack of mobile resuscitation equipment, maintenance of sterility or concern for excessive maternal blood loss. The objective of this study was to develop and pilot-test extra-uterine placental transfusion
Purpose: Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of optic neuropathies that potentially may be associated with other cerebral neurodegenerative processes leading to dementia. However, prior studies have been inconsistent. We examined dementia risks after glaucoma diagnosis in a large population-based cohort. Design: National matched cohort study. Participants: A total of 324 730 persons diagnosed with g
Genom litteraturstudie och intervjuer undersöker uppsatsen kommunala metoder och möjligheter för ökad energieffektivitet i nya byggnader. Lunds kommun jämförs med Lomma, Växjö och Lidköpings kommun. Resultaten visar en stor bredd bland metoderna som används av kommunerna för kommunal respektive privat mark. Detaljplaner och bygglov har tillskrivits stor möjlighet att påverka energiprestandan hos eThrough literature review and interviews this report examines municipal practices and opportunities to improve energy efficiency in new buildings. Lund municipality is compared with Lomma, Växjö and Lidköping municipalities. The results show a wide range of methods used by municipalities for municipal and private land. Detailed development plans and building permits have been attributed great pote
I en tid av omfattande psykisk ohälsa och ständigt påtryckande sociala normer gällande kroppsideal är tonårstiden en kritisk period. De rådande diskussionerna som talar om att tonåringars psykiska hälsa förvärras är alarmerande och tyder på ett växande behov av att studera detta närmre. Denna studie ämnade att undersöka om det bland 13–14 åringar har skett en förändring gällande psykisk ohälsa ochIn a time of extensive mental health problems and constantly pressing social norms regarding body ideals, adolescence is a critical period. The current discussion concerning the worsening of adolescents' mental health is alarming and indicates a growing need to study this more closely. This study aimed to examine whether there has been a change among 13-14-year-olds concerning mental health an
The global urbanisation is causing cities to grow. A shortage of unused land in the metropolises, cause a concentration of the cities, presenting new risks as a bigger population occupy a small area. For this reason, including risk management in the urban planning process is one of many important factors in the development of cities. In order to ease the process of risk management and improve tra
Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi
