Överliggare är något som Lunds universitet har haft gott om, och deras namn skymtar förbi som skuggor från en förfluten punschdoftande tid; ”Den Siste Athenaren” Otto Steiman, Sam Ask, Adolf Herrlin – listan kan göras lång. Likaså har Lunds universitet haft gott om akademiska original, både sådana som gjort karriär, och sådana som aldrig ens tagit en examen.Arkivarien vid universitetsarkivet HenriLund has had its fair share of eternal students, and their names appear like shadows from an arrack punch-flavoured past: “The Last Athenian” Otto Steiman, Sam Ask, Adolf Herrlin – the list goes on. Similarly, Lund University has had many academic eccentrics, both of the kind who made a career for themselves and the kind who never even completed a degree. Here, University archivist Henrik Ullstad

Samhällsplaneringen har i någon månalltid varit intresserad av relationellaflöden. Det bilsamhälle som cementeradesunder efterkrigstidens rekordår var ihögsta grad en fråga om att styra rörelsermellan olika platser med industrins behovav arbetskraft som ledstjärna. Men, omvi ser närmare var det inte bara regionplanenstrafiksystem som var relationellt.Bostadsgården skulle skapa platser förolika anv

Trots att PBL betraktas som ett kraftfullt verktyg i undervisningen, råder fortfarande viss tvekan att den skulle vara lämplig i alla utbildningar. Ett annat problem som också diskuteras är om PBL går att tillämpas på stora grupper och i så fall om den är lönsam. I tekniska utbildningar är teknologerna oftast vana vid att ha föreläsningar, övningar och laborationer. Som stöd har man ett genomarbet

In this chapter we propose a novel ethical approach to city branding based on a relational understanding of vulnerability. We rethink the prevailing ethics of competition and competitiveness in the field by demonstrating its limitations for contributing positively to urban sustainable development. An ethics of vulnerability approach is outlined based on principles of performativity, interdependenc

The COVID-19 pandemic had disastrous effects on health and economic activity worldwide, including in the Euro Area. The application of mandatory lockdowns contributed to a sharp fall in production and a rise in unemployment, inducing an expansionary fiscal and monetary response. Using a uniquely large macro database, this paper examines the effects of the pandemic and the ensuing economic policies

Background: Most antidepressant treatment studies have included patients strictly based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders definition of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Given the heterogeneity of MDD, this approach may have obscured inter-patient differences and hampered the development of novel and targeted treatment strategies. An alternative strategy is ​​to use bioma

Agriculture is vulnerable to the interannual climate variability and to its unpredictability, in such a way that most agricultural decisions taken within the time horizon of several months are made in a conservative manner, supposing a near-pessimist scenario. The improvement of climate prediction may help the strategic view, mitigating unwanted impacts and taking advantage of favorable conditions

Background: Current EU directives demand increased use of renewable fuels in the transportation sector but restrict governmental support for production of biofuels produced from crops. The use of intercropped lucerne and wheat may comply with the directives. In the current study, the combination of ensiled lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) and wheat straw as substrate for hydrogen and methane productio

In this paper, a set of indicators is presented that aim to identify promising service innovations for Accessibility as a Service (AaaS) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS); services that potentially can reduce the demand for transport and optimize use of transport infrastructure and vehicles in urban regions. The proposed indicators characterize service innovations from three different perspectives:

Production and use of chlorophenols (CPs) are being phased out around the globe, but with considerable lag in some highly populated countries. The process could be incentivized by leading countries sharing their experiences on problems that occurred, including the built environment. We previously reported that Swedish industry and authorities promoted CPs, including pentachlorophenol (PCP), as wooProduction and use of chlorophenols (CPs) are being phased out around the globe, but with considerable lag in some highlypopulated countries.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe pre-school children's learning during a learning study, and their teachers’ awareness of each child's learning possibilities in relation to what they actually learned. The paper's aims are twofold; first, to focus on how to design learning study in pre-school settings; and second, to study young children's (aged 4-5) learning. Design/methodology/ap

This study makes a numeric and visual comparison of two different multibeam echo sounding (MBES) surveys performed at the exact same location, in an effort to establish how reliable and comparable the vertical depth measurements are. The horizontal position uncertainty is not issued in this study. The analysis was performed on data delivered by two survey contractors, The Norwegian Coastal Admini
