MultiPark är ett translationellt forskningsnätverk som sträcker sig från preklinisk forskning till studier av livssituationer för patienter med Alzheimers och Parkinsons sjukdom samt relaterade hjärnsjukdomar. Vi syftar inte bara till att förbättra patienternas kroppsfunktion utan även deras aktivitet och delaktighet. MultiPark bygger på ett starkt samarbete mellan Lunds universitet och Skånes uniMultiPark (Multidisciplinary research focused on Parkinson's disease) is a translational programme that ranges from experimental pre-clinical research to studies on the life situation of patients with neurodegenerative disorders. Our programme not only aims at improving the overall function of patients, but also their acitivity and participation. This initiative relies on solid interactions betwee

In a new episode of the podcast Ceteris Never Paribus, the host Maria Bach speaks to Evelina Kallträsk, David Larsson Heidenblad, Anna Nilsson Hammar and Johan Östling, all members of the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK). They discuss what is the history of knowledge and how its approaches might be useful for historians of economics.

Traditionally, atherosclerosis has been evaluated macroscopically from the presence of fatty streaks (FS), fibrous plaques (FBP), and complicated lesions (CL). In this preliminary study, employing aortas from autopsied middle-aged or older persons we investigated the fatty raised lesion (FRL) to elucidate its significance and histological features. The FRL is determined macroscopically from its di

Objective: To evaluate the long-term benefits of constraint-induced movement therapy in chronic stroke.Design: A four-year follow-up after constraint-induced group therapy assessing arm and hand function and self-reported daily hand use.Subjects: Fourteen post-stroke individuals (six women and eight men; mean age 59.6 +/- 12.7 years, range 23-75 years) with mild to moderate impairments of hand fun

This paper is a component of a three-year empirical study of gaming moms undertaken with the aim to modulate the conventional constructions of gamer identities and examine the contested status of gaming in everyday life. It presents samples of mothers in gaming discourse – from TV, Music-video, forums, and ads. Mothers have been largely invisible in popular gaming discourse or formulaically portra

A combined quantum chemical statistical mechanical method has been used to study the solvation of urea in water, with emphasis on the structure of urea. The model system consists of three parts: a Hartree-Fock quantum chemical core, 99 water molecules described with a polarizable force-field, and a dielectric continuum. A free-energy profile along the transition of urea from planar to a nonplanar

This paper examines the source of price discovery for Islamic stocks. We pair a large number of Islamic stocks to country-specific index futures and estimate price discovery using a vector error correction model. The results obtained using data for 19 countries suggest that for most countries (63% of the sample) price discovery is dominated by the spot market. We show that for these countries, a m

The efforts to measure people’s current preferences and values of ecosystem services raise questions about the link to sustainability transformations. The importance of taking social and cultural values of nature into account is increasingly recognised within ecosystem services research and policy. This notion is informing the development and application of social (or socio-cultural) valuation met

Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) is an emerging concept which has the potential to address several sustainability challenges. In this multiple case study research on three NBS projects in Gothenburg (Sweden) the projects objectives and evaluated impacts are studied to provide insights into how NBS interventions are implemented in urban contexts. In addition, barriers and drivers for up-scaling are ide

China is experiencing a rapid economic transformation, which witnesses a vast number of labourers moving out of agricultural sectors. In such a transformation, the effect of spatial income variance on labour’s off-farm work decision is still unclear. Based on the cross-sectional data from the national survey conducted in 2012, this study finds the effect on two kinds of off-farm employment, wage e
