This text describes the ongoing establishment of media history at Lund University and reflects on its two-front strivings. The birth of media history as a proper, albeit small, discipline within the ordinary structure of the faculty, from graduate level to PhD studies, was very much a matter of chance, and easy enough to achieve. Whether this institutionalisation actually will be productive for th

A comprehensive study was conducted to monitor the emission potential from solid waste landfilled in Jordan over a period of 292 days using an anaerobic lysimeter. A 30 kg waste sample reflecting the typical municipal solid waste (MSW) streams generated in Jordan was used to simulate the influence of climate on the emission potential of landfills located in semi-arid areas. The experimental result

OBJECTIVE—This study, one of the first to address issues of pulmonary insulin delivery in smokers, compared pharmacokinetics of inhaled insulin delivered via the AERx insulin Diabetes Management System (iDMS) in nondiabetic cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—In this randomized two-period crossover efficacy and safety trial in 27 nondiabetic smokers and 16 nonsmokers (18

In this paper, we propose a statistical theoretical framework for incorporation of sensor and actuator faults in dynamic simulations of wastewater treatment operation. Sensor and actuator faults and failures are often neglected in simulations for control strategy development and testing, although it is well known that they represent a significant obstacle for realising control at full-scale facili

The measurement of ensemble variability in time-aligned event signals is studied in relation to sampling rate requirements. The theoretical analysis is based on statistical modelling of time misalignment in which the time resolution is limited by the length of the sampling interval. For different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), the sampling rate is derived which limits the misalignment effect to le

Epidemiological studies of patients with major trauma, including both hospitalized and immediately deceased whom are undergoing medico-legal autopsy, are very rare. We studied the incidence and mortality of major trauma in all 10 districts in the Scandinavian city of Malmö, Sweden, and the association between socio-economic status and major trauma.

The article presents an analysis of boundary work within the context of care for the elderly, where violence appears to be widespread though still relatively unacknowledged. By resorting to certain descriptive – often jocular – modes, the staff designate aggressive acts committed by patients as 'non-violent'. This occurs although intent, responsibility, and injury – all common criteria associated

The research text seminar is generally a cherished element in academic life. Ideally, this is the place for the exchange of high intellectual thoughts in an atmosphere of mutual respect. But the text seminar, if viewed from the perspective of its historical roots in German academia, is also an arena for collective, informal and apprenticeship learning that is today challenged by a much more indivi
