Our research uses advanced technology to generate neurons from novel cell sources with the aim to extensively define the subtype and function of the generated neurons and their potential for therapeutic use in the future. For this we are using reprogramming technology in animal models or human stem cell culture system, together with electrophysiology, RNA sequencing, tracing technologies and cell
Following the idea of aerotropolis, New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA) was initiated under Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development to strongly promote the role of Yogyakarta as part of the economic and tourism centers in Indonesia. However, the establishment of this national strategic project is not without controversy. Groups of local people refused
Lund Hemodynamic Lab was initiated in 2010 by Göran Rådegran in order to provide high quality investigations, essential in risk assessment in guidance of PAH therapies & listing for transplantation & utilizing myocardial biopsies in steering of immunosuppression to prevent rejection after transplantation.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,
This project aims to develop incretin therapy as a glucose-reducing strategy in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Its particular focus is to understand the mechanisms of incretin therapy and to optimize its clinical positioning. This mission is achieved by an interdisciplinary approach with complementary studies in subjects with T2D, healthy volunteers and experimental animals.
Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis. Haemophilia A and B are hereditary, X chromosomal recessive bleeding disorders caused by deficiency or absence of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX) in the blood. The general aim of this part of the research program is to improve
This thesis evaluates the objective of the Hong Kong Geopark as promoting sustainable socio-economic development with a case study of Sum Mun Tsai Village, a village adjacent to the Geopark. The research focuses on the human development aspect of sustainable development, since the Geopark is not only concerned with promoting economic development, but also with the social dimension of sustainabilit
This paper examines the influence of feminist foreign policy (FFP) on official development assistance (ODA) targeting gender equality and women’s empowerment in Canada, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. A growing number of governments worldwide have adopted FFP in contextually relevant ways, but previous research treats FFP and ODA as two separate concepts. This pape
The 2008 financial crisis exposed significant weaknesses within the global financial system which were mostly attributed to the practices of financialization. This thesis explores the potential of Islamic finance principles to prevent financial crises while offering a more stable and equitable financial framework. A qualitative approach was used in order to conduct interviews with various professi

Det kan hävdas att multinationella företag undviker ansvar för mänskliga rättighetskränkningar på grund av otillräcklig nationell reglering så väl som folkrättsliga bestämmelser. Denna uppsats har därmed utformat tre syften: först ämnar uppsatsen att undersöka i vilken utsträckning staters skyldighet för att skydda mänskliga rättigheter kan minska företags straffrihet för mänskliga rättighetskränkIt has been argued that multinational corporations benefit from impunity when it comes to human rights violations due to inadequate corporate regulation in host states as well on the international level. Thus, there are three purposes of this thesis: first to examine to what extent states’ duty to protect human rights can be utilised to hold corporations accountable for human rights violations in
The aim of this study was to examine which impact it has on young people to grow up and live in Landskrona and their views of their future in light of the negative image that exists of the city and its people in the media. To get a better understanding we also choose to highlight what the youths consider significant in their lives. There were eight young people in the age 18-20 who participated in
Home care has been associated with time pressure and extensive waiting times, affecting care users’ ability to manage their daily activities. In 2023, one Swedish municipality started offering ‘video visits’ to complement home visits. However, little is known about the implications of this type of digital technology for care users’ waiting experiences. This article aims to understand how care user
Vi besitter systematisk kunskap, baserad på empirisk forskning, om både hur finansiella förhållanden stimulerar ekonomisk tillväxt och utveckling, och om finansiella kriser och hur sådana kriser kan mildras eller undvikas. Vår forskning är indelad i tre huvudkategorier: Finansväsende och makroekonomi; Försäkrings- och pensionssystem samt; Politisk ekonomi och dess inverkan på penning- och finansföWe provide systematic knowledge based on empirical research on both how finance spurs economic growth and development, and on financial crises and how such crises can be mitigated, or avoided. Our research is divided into three main categories: Finance and the macro-economy; Insurance and retirement systems and; The political economy of money and finance.
Our mission is to establish a major trans-faculty bio-imaging center at Lund University (Lund University Bioimaging Center), combining knowledge in the fields of medical physics, preclinical and clinical medicine, chemistry, technology and applied mathematics in order to develop imaging methods for the advanced study of human morphology, cellular metabolism and physiological function in health and
There are several economic variables used by investors to assess the risk of financial downturns. In this paper, we test twelve variables, divided into three categories: macroeconomic-, financial risk-, and sentiment indicators, in a logistic regression model, on in-sample data, with a binary outcome to evaluate their predictive power of economic downturns in the US, including the S&P 500, US
Vi bedriver ledande forskning med spets och bredd inom det laboratoriemedicinska fältet med fokus på hur sjukdomar uppkommer och hur vi kan förbättra patienters diagnostik och behandling. Några av våra starkaste områden med forskning i världsklass, handlar om cancer-, genetik- och blodforskning. Ett annat fokusområde är arbets- och miljömedicin, där vi studerar hur vår miljö påverkar vår hälsa. UtWe are conducting leading research that is specific yet broad within the field of laboratory medicine, focusing on how diseases arise and how we can improve diagnosis and treatment of patients. Some of our strongest areas of world-class research concern cancer, genetics and blood research. Another focus area is occupational and environmental medicine, where we study how our environment affects our
