The aim of the thesis is to research and compare the situation of management practices in Japanese companies in Japan and in Japanese companies abroad after a joint venture termination, particularly in Sweden. The changing in management style when Japanese companies go abroad is a highly researched topic. However, not that much research has been done on the Japanese companies in Sweden, specifical

Forskargruppen "Barninfektioner och global barn- och ungdomshälsa" främjar forskning och utbildning. Det primära forskningsområdet är pediatrik och mer specifika inom området barninfektioner, Kawasakis sjukdom, global barn och -ungdomshälsa samt migration. Forskargruppen samarbetar med andra forskargrupper både nationellt och internationellt. Forskargruppen är involverad i utbildningen av läkarsPediatric infectious diseases and global child health is a research group promoting high quality research and education. The primary area of research is Pediatrics and more specific in the field of infectious diseases, Kawasaki disease, global child health and migration. The research group collaborates with research teams both nationally and internationally as well as being involved in the educa

I världen lider flera 100 miljoner människor av autoimmuna sjukdomar och de är ett folkhälsoproblem i paritet med cancer och hjärt/kärlsjukdomar. Vi har fokuserat vår forskning kring en grupp ovanliga men allvarliga autoimmuna sjukdomar, ANCA associerade vaskuliter. Sjukdomarna orsakar en akut inflammation i de små blodkärlen, vilket leder till en snabbt förlöpande glomerulonefrit och livshotande Autoimmune diseases affect several 100 million people world wide and is a tremendous public health problem comparable with heart disease and cancer. We have focused our research to a group of severe autoimmune diseases, called ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody) associated systemic vasculitis. The diseases present with acute inflammation in the small vessels and cause rapidly progressive r

The field of research is to uncover the genetic and environmental etiology of autoimmune (type 1) diabetes, celiac disease as well as narcolepsy. The genetics of the disease is dissected also in the spontaneously diabetic BB rat. Specific autoantibody markers are used to predict the clinical onset of diabetes or celiac disease. Longitudinal studies of children at increased risk allow studies of t

Avdelningen för molekylär hematologi omfattar idag tolv forskningsgrupper som alla studerar olika aspekter av blodcellers funktion vid hälsa och sjukdom. Genom hela livet utgår all blodbildning från så kallade blodstamceller som försörjer kroppen med miljarder blodkroppar varje dag. En normal balanserad produktion av blodkroppar via blodstamcellerna är avgörande för att vi skall hålla oss friska.Dysfunctional blood cell development can have fatal consequences on human health, with implications for several key areas of modern medicine, including amongst others the broad research areas of oncology and immunology. The Division of Molecular Hematology (DMH) aims to generate new knowledge about the regulation of blood cell development by applying recent advances in stem cell technology, in ord

Humanistiska och teologiska fakulteterna bedriver en bred och varierad verksamhet inom forskning och utbildning som i vid mening syftar till att förstå människan som kulturell och samhällelig varelse. Vi forskar och utbildar inom områden som behandlar kulturmöten, språk, historia, etik, religion, filosofi, konst, musik, litteratur och annat som formar och definierar kulturerna.The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology provide research and education in a broad range of subjects, ranging from cultural sciences, history, philosophy, archaeology, languages and literature to theology and religious studies.

In 2009, a nationwide initiative was established in order to lead and develop world-leading research in Sweden. Lund University received strategic research funding from the Swedish Foundation for Stategic Research and the Swedish Government for 12 strategic research areas (SRAs) of excellence. Of these 12 SRAs, StemTherapy (the strategic research area for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine) cont

Preventing and mitigating damage to the surroundings arising from process safety incidents is an important aspect of process safety. Risk-informed or risk-based decision-making are cornerstones in most countries’ regulatory regimes for land-use planning. However, the design and implementation of the regulations vary significantly - from countries that have chosen a highly standardized set of rules

Under certain circumstances, contamination of a porous insulation material by a combustible liquid may result in a lagging/insulation fire. In the current study, a method based on isothermal calorimetry and modelling to estimate the risk of a lagging fire, or a maximum insulation thickness for a certain system temperature, is presented. The studied system was a combination of mineral wool and rape

As the risks generated by industry and other organisations in society change, requirements as to how these risks are to be managed must change correspondingly. This means that new methods and techniques of risk analysis and management must be developed. The need for effective research and education in this area is accentuated by the rapid pace of organisational and technological change leading to
