Ad utrumque (paratus), latin for “prepared for both”, is the motto of Lund University. When the University was founded in 1666 its primary mission was to secure the southern provinces of Scania to the Swedish king. Scania had previously belonged to Denmark, but the peace settlement of 1658 made them part of Sweden. The seal of the university also shows the carolingian lion reading a book while hol

Welding aerosols have been sampled in different size fractions using a moving stage cascade impactor. Sampling has been done for different welding methods and for varying welding parameters. The elemental composition of the different size fractions have been determined by Proton Induced X-ray Emission, PIXE, combined with a nuclear method for fluorine analysis. Results show maximum mass of most el

Popular Abstract in Swedish Uppsättningen av gener i DNA, genomet, kan betraktas som drivande för konstruktionen av varje levande varelse, medan motsvarande proteiner, proteomet, är materiellt ansvariga för de flesta biologiska processer. Kort sagt, gener bestämmer vad celler ”ska kunna göra” medan proteiner definierar vad varje cell "gör" ur en funktionell synvinkel. Aktiviteten hos dessa molekylAmongst the various –omics sciences, proteomics has the highest potential for functional characterization and consequently can contribute significantly to the field of cancer research. In particular, the focus of this thesis is on breast cancer. Alas, since state-of-the-art technologies cannot meet the complexity of upper eukaryotic proteomes, a complete resolution of clinical samples is still una

Fuel cells are promising for future energy systems, because they are energy efficient and able to use renewable fuels. A fully coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach based on the finite element method (with the software COMSOL Multiphysics) in two-dimensions is developed to describe an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) single cell. Governing equations covering heat

Swedish native speakers (NSs) unconsciously use tones realized on word stems to predict upcoming suffixes during speech comprehension. The present response time study investigated whether relatively proficient second language (L2) learners of Swedish have acquired the underlying association between tones and suffixes without explicit instruction, internalizing a feature that is specific to their L

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the neoliberal production of anxiety in academic faculty members in universities in Northern Europe. The paper focuses on neoliberalization as it is instantiated through audit and ranking systems designed to produce academia as a space of economic efficiency and intensifying competition. We suggest that powerful forms of competition and ranking of acad

Abstract in Arabic مع بداية النصف الثاني من القرن الماضي أو تحديدا نهاية العقد الخامس وبداية العقد السادس، انطلقت بدايات الكتابة النسائية الإبداعية في عدد من الدول العربية حتى فرضت الكاتبات العربيات وجودهن بقوة في المشهد الثقافي الإبداعي وتألقن في تقديم التجربة النسوية لاحقا، ليجسدن لنا واقع المرأة ويعبرن عن خصوصيتها الأنثوية وأحاسيسها وتجربتها الاجتماعية آأنثى، فأسمعتنا صوتها عبر شخصيتها المحورية

Religion is particularly important in times of crises; it is commonly linked to the search for meaning behind disasters and it promotes a social interconnectedness. After a disaster, religious beliefs can give the survivors a sense of control. Rituals and ceremonies have proved to have healing capacities both individually and collectively. The focus of this paper is on religion in the recovery pro

Abstract in UndeterminedA more or less continuous process of structural change, not least due to a globalizing economy, poses a number of challenges to regions and local communities. However, when firms or whole industries are phasing out, windows of opportunity open up. Empirical analyses of two recent plant closures in Skane point at the importance of retaining existing knowledge bases, and at t

A well defined set of design criteria is of great importance in the process of designing brain machine interfaces (BMI) based on extracellular recordings with chronically implanted micro-electrode arrays in the central nervous system (CNS). In order to compare algorithms and evaluate their performance under various circumstances, ground truth about their input needs to be present. Obtaining ground

Multiple myeloma is characterized by frequent clinical relapses after conventional therapy. Recently, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) has been established as a treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory disease. However, although >70% of patients initially respond to this treatment, clinical relapse and disease progression occur in

Positioned within a perceptual approach to European Union (EU) foreign policy, this article explores tensions relating to the resilience of the EU's normative identity, focusing on factors and explanations external to the EU. We engage with EU perceptions amongst external partners theorized as active agents/potential contributors to contestation processes. We focus on the perceived role of the EU

4D printing is a development in additive manufacturing that enables 3D printed objects to transform over time in response to environmental stimuli. This research investigates the architectural viability of large-scale fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing of thermoplastics onto stretched textiles, which retract and warp into 3D structures upon release. Employing an iterative research-by-desi

Galaxies are complex objects, yet the number of independent parameters to describe them remains unknown. We present here a non-parametric method to estimate the intrinsic dimensionality of large data sets. We apply it to wide-band photometric data drawn from the COSMOS2020 catalogue and a comparable mock catalogue from the HORIZON-AGN simulation. Our galaxy catalogues are limited in signal-to-nois
