Concerns are increasing about the loss of biodiversity under land use change and how this will affect the ecosystem services provided by natural and semi-natural communities and consequently how this will threaten human well-being. The thesis examines the impact of present and past land use on different aspects of biodiversity; namely species diversity, traits and functional diversity and on ecos
The aim of this study is to examine how the need for belonging and search for an identity manifest themselves in the autobiographical works of two gay contemporary writers: Abdellah Taïa and Édouard Louis. Both authors have, during their childhood and adolescence, been confronted with a society that tried to exclude them for being ‘different’ and not fitting in the heterosexual norm. Suddenly, the
Fotoreceptorerna - tappar och stavar - i ögats näthinna behövs för vår syn men är mycket sårbara, och sjukdomar kan göra att de degenererar och dör, vilket ger svår synnedsättning eller blindhet. En sådan sjukdom är Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), som drabbar ungefär 1 på 3000-4000 personer. RP-sjukdomen är ärftlig och beror på genmutationer, men det är oklart hur dessa får fotoreceptorerna att dö och The rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina of the eye are crucial for our vision, but also vulnerable to diseases, which can make them degenerate and die. Such diseases include Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a heritable disease with a prevalence of about 1 in 3.000 – 4000 people. RP comes from gene mutations but it is not clear how these cause the degeneration and there are no therapies available.
Unhealthful lifestyles underpin much of the burden of cardiometabolic disease affecting contemporary societies. Our overarching objective is to discover and optimise measurable biomarkers that can be used to stratify patient populations into subgroups that can be treated more effectively with targeted lifestyle therapies, at lesser cost and with fewer adverse events than conventional approaches
According to certain researchers, such as Meisel (2008), a child has a similar way of acquiring a second language (cL2 learners) as adults (aL2 learners) do after the age of four. However, the difference of age and cognitive maturation between an adult and a child awakes ones curiousness of investigating how much the linguistic development of a cL2 learner resembles the one of aL2 learners. This s
LEVIC är en tvärvetenskaplig forskargrupp med forskare från juridik, filosofi, kognitiv psykologi och matematisk statistik. Vår forskning handlar om bevisvärdering, framförallt bevisvärdering i brottmål. Vi undersöker empiriskt hur bevisvärdering görs i domstolarna, och vi är särskilt intresserade av kognitiv bias, t.ex. olika typer av matematiska tankefel i de sannolikhetsbedömningar som uppkommeLEVIC is a cross-disciplinary research group with researchers from law, philosophy, cognitive psychology and statistics. Our research concerns legal fact-finding, especially criminal evidence. We investigate empirically how legal decision-makers (judges or jurors) evaluate evidence, and we are particularly interested in cognitive bias and probabilistic fallacies. We do research that aims to improv

En stor del av diabetesforskningen vid Lunds universitet görs inom forskningsmiljön EXODIAB som är ett strategiskt forskningsområde (SFO) i Sverige. Inom EXODIAB har Lunds universitets diabetescentrum (LUDC) och Uppsala universitet ett nära samarbete.A significant part of diabetes research at Lund University is conducted within EXODIAB, which is a strategic research area (SRA) in Sweden. Within EXODIAB, Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) and Uppsala University work closely together.
Avdelningen Studentstöd och lärande ger service och stöd till studenter och består av tre arbetsgrupper: Pedagogiskt studentstöd, Studieverkstaden och SI-verksamhet.Student Support and Learning provide service and support to students, and comprises three working groups: Disability Support Services, the Academic Support Centre, and the Supplemental Instruction unit.
