Popular Abstract in Swedish Pankreascancer (cancer i bukspottkörteln) drabbar årligen mer än 200 000 personer över hela världen, varav omkring 900 i Sverige. Sjukdomen är starkt associerad till ökad ålder och drabbar följaktligen väldigt sällan personer under 40 år, medan risken att drabbas vid 80 års ålder är 40 gånger förhöjd. På grund av dess mycket aggressiva tillväxt, tidiga metastasering samPancreatic cancer includes multiple histologic subtypes that show large differences in their clinical and biological characteristics. Despite this diversity, more than 85% of the neoplasms in the organ are malignant ductal adenocarcinomas, which are the focus of the present thesis. At the genetic level this tumor type is characterized by highly rearranged karyotypes, resulting in a large number of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om hjälpande och framförallt om givande till välgörenhet. De två centrala frågorna som ställs handlar om när vi hjälper (i vilka situationer hjälper vi mer eller mindre?) och om varför vi hjälper i dessa situationer (vilka sorters känslor och tankar gör oss mer motiverade att hjälpa?)

Normal maturation of immune response at birth is both supported and stimulated by the gastrointestinal microenvironment, which provides both nutrients and antigenic microbial exposure to the developing child. Micronutrients, trace elements, and vitamins are present in the local environment and have important regulatory effects on adaptive immune cell function through effects on type of cytokine re
The objective of this thesis is to develop a strategy for statistical/econometric inferences applicable to systemwise testing of econometric models. A common deficiency in many applied econometric studies is the absence of statistical diagnostic testing. A model is only as good as the assumptions being used, and if these assumptions are incorrect then the model can be as good as worthless. In the
Nyligen tillsatte Lunds universitets ledning en kommitte som skulle arbeta fram ett nytt universitetssigill. Man kände ett behov av ett sigill av mer modernt snitt som lätt kunde anpassas till datorns krav på tydlighet. Det nya förslaget väckte en storm av känsloladdade protester och till slut beslöt ledningen att behålla den gamla sigillet. Det är intressant att notera det emotionella engagemange
