Slips and falls on icy roads often result in fractures or sprains and is a major problem in Nordic countries. Walking trials by 25 subjects wearing four types of winter shoes on five different icy walking surfaces provided subjective and objective measures of tendency to slip and number of slips, respectively. Since friction is a major determinant of a slip, the influence of material spread on icy
The use of enzymes in nonaqueous media has considerably expanded their potential areas of application. Limitations however arise that are inherent to the low conformational flexibility of enzymes in dry organic media. Enzyme activity is often unfavorably low due to kinetic barriers. Enzyme behavior, with respect to heat and long-term inactivation, may deviate from their behavior in aqueous media.
This report summarizes 28 case studies addressing the common interest for indicators in case studies in Nordic and Baltic countries and is distributed to different building types – Benchmarking systems and indicators (4 case studies) – Offices (7 case studies) – Housing (8 case studies) – School and nursery (5 case studies) – Shopping centres (3 case studies) – Hospital (1 case studies) There are
Biografisk skildring av medicinstuderande Hildegard Björck (1847-1920), Sveriges första kvinna att avlägga akademisk examen och Lunds universitets första studentska.
Despite the ongoing globalisation of economic activities, innovation does not take place randomly distributed over space, but concentrates in certain locations. A central argument to explain the spatial concentration of innovation activities lies in the ability of geographical proximity to facilitate interactive learning and knowledge exchange, which in turn is seen as an important driver for regi
This chapter illustrates how quantum chemical calculations can be used to elucidate structural and functional aspects of tetrapyrrole cofactors, focusing on porphyrins, cobalamins, coenzyme F430, and chlorophyll. A particular emphasis is put on the biochemical significance of axial ligands, which can tune the function of the tetrapyrroles. With the use of quantum chemical calculations, it is possi
Benchmarking har blivit en allt vanligare metod för lärosätens kvalitetsarbete. Lunds universitet har deltagit i benchmarkingprojekt organiserade av European Centre for Strategic Management of Universities (ESMU) sedan 2000. Sedan några år tillbaka medverkar Lunds universitet återigen i ett antal internationella projekt rörande benchmarking av e-lärande, nämligen EADTU:s E-xcellence+, ESMU:s eLear
En kurs kan betraktas som en pedagogisk process avsedd att hjälpa de deltagande studenterna att utveckla den kunskap och förståelse, färdighet och förmåga samt den värderingsförmåga och det förhållningssätt som kursen avser. I linje med detta ska kvalitetsarbetet inom Lunds universitets utbildningsverksamhet fokusera studenternas lärande, där lärandemål, undervisning och andra läraktiviteter samt
