How can the realities of global warming be made visible in literary texts? After the rise of 'cli-fi', it might be time to return to a trove of literature written long before the discoveries of climate science: fiction about fossil fuels. It is filled with premonitions of disasters, such as extreme heat and terrible storms. Focusing on two texts - Ghassan Kanafani's Men in the Sun and Joseph Conra
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive diseases and is characterized by high chemoresistance, leading to the lack of effective therapeutic approaches and grim prognosis. Despite increasing understanding of the mechanisms of chemoresistance in cancer and the role of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in this resistance, the therapeutic potential of their pharmaco
Introduction: Women and underrepresented groups in medicine hold few academic leadership positions in the field of hematology/oncology. In this study, we assessed gender and race/ethnicity representation in editorial board positions in hematology/oncology journals. Materials and Methods: Editorial leadership board members from 60 major journals in hematology and oncology were reviewed; 54 journals
The general factor of personality (GFP) is understood as a hierarchically superordinate factor, which suggests that it and the subordinate personality traits are mutually dependent on one another. If a personality inventory captures the subordinate traits the GFP should appear too. Likewise, manipulating the GFP should affect the subordinate traits and vice versa. The current study was an attempt
The Middle East in the Contemporary World (MECW) is a multi- and transdisciplinary strategic research area, hosted and supported by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, comprising staff from five different faculties at Lund University.
This blog post delves into the global phenomenon of the Danish political drama series "Borgen," created by Adam Price. The unexpected revival of "Borgen" for a new season, with significant Netflix financing, marks a pivotal moment in Danish television. This season focuses on geopolitical tensions involving Greenland, offering a fresh perspective on Danish-Greenlandic relations and broader internat
Maligna lymfom är tumörer utgående från immunsystemet. De innefattar ca 50 olika undergrupper med vitt skilda kliniska förlopp. Målet för vårt arbete är att förbättra överlevnad och livskvalitet för patienter med maligna lymfom, också med hänsyn tid långtidseffekter av behandling, samt att förbättra metoder för diagnostik och prognostik för dessa sjukdomar. Vår grupp har sedan många år bedriviThe area of research for our group is malignant lymphomas – aiming for the improvement of the quality of life and survival of these patients. The paradigm behind most of current health care is evidence –based medicine. The evidence basis is primarily derived from clinical trials, but data can also be extracted from alternate sources such as national or regional data registries. The objective of ou
Data on net CO2 exchange from eight forests in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland were used to analyse which factors were controlling photosynthesis and respiration. The forests consisted of different species ranging in climatic condition from temperate to subarctic. Only well mixed conditions were analysed (u* > 0.3 m s(-1)). The parameters of a light response function showed strong seasonal va
This thesis explored the opportunities and challenges to Environmental Justice (EJ) for Wayuu communities as Colombia expands the resource frontier deeper into indigenous lands. Based on qualitative fieldwork the case study has discussed how, and why, indigenous Wayuu in La Alta Guajira engage with or resist a recent offshore hydrocarbon concession in their territories and how indigenous rights, t
Our aim was to explore the current state of e-learning activities during physiotherapy and occupational therapy education, in relation to theories and models about learning. What kind of e-learning activities were described and which were the intentions behind the use of digital support expressed in current physiotherapy and occupational therapy literature? The search was done using four different
With a critical focus on the interpretative work of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, this article sets out the parameters of applying non-discrimination under article 2(2) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in conjunction with article 11(1) on the right to adequate housing to discrimination suffered by migrants and refugees in access to exis
Forskargruppen verkar inom ett brett område av klinisk fysiologi, inklusive nuklearmedicin. Flera kliniska forskare bedriver klinisk forskning i samarbete med sjukvården, men också tillsammans med olika delar av Lunds universitet med tonvikt på att utveckla nya diagnostiska tekniker. Vi forskar inom två huvudområden – nuklearmedicin och klinisk fysiologi. Vår forskning inkluderar utveckling av AI-The group covers a wide field of physiological research, including nuclear medicine. Several clinical scientists pursue clinical research in cooperation with hospital departments, but also with university departments with an emphasis of developing new diagnostic techniques. We perform research in two main areas – nuclear medicine and clinical physiology. Our research includes development of artifi
Vi utvärderar behandlingsmetoder för svårbehandlade psykiatriska tillstånd, med målet att förbättra behandlingsresultat och klinisk praxis. KetECT-studien, som jämförde ketamin med elektrokonvulsiv terapi (ECT) vid unipolär depression, har bidragit till att ketamin nu är ett alternativ för vissa patienter. Blodprover och kognitiva data från KetECT kommer att analyseras för att identifiera biomarköWe evaluate treatment methods for refractory psychiatric conditions, aiming to improve outcomes and clinical practice. The KetECT study, which compared ketamine with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in unipolar depression, has led to ketamine being considered an alternative for certain patients. Blood samples and cognitive data from KetECT will be analyzed to identify biomarkers that can predict tr
Operation med konstgjorda ledproteser i höft och knä ger generellt mycket lyckade resultat. Fortfarande förekommer dock lossning och slitage av komponenterna som ett problem, och alla patienter blir inte fullt nöjda. I ett flertal forskningsprojekt studerar vi faktorer av betydelse för fixation och funktion av proteskomponenterna. Vi utvärderar hur man optimerar de biomekaniska ledförhållandena viTotal joint replacements, both in the hip and knee, are generally very successful operations. Still, however, component loosening as well as wear remains a problem, and all patients are not fully satisfied with their new joint. In a number of ongoing investigations, we are studying different factors involved in the fixation and function of the prosthesis components. We are exploring how to optimiz
