Orientation towards application, transdisciplinarity and social distribution are prominent ideas when policy prescribes how to conduct research on complex, real-world issues. Issues dealt with in ageing research are both epistemologically complex and politically contentious. By using the metaphor of ‘travelling ideas,' we have followed these ideas on their journey into 17 approved grant proposals

Early trauma and failures in attachment attunement can affect future relational patterns, health and well-being. The processing of trauma, especially complex trauma, through adequate interventions may help integrate traumatic experiences, enhance health and quality of life. Despite years of clinical practice with Identity oriented psychotrauma therapy (IoPT), there is a lack of scientific research

This thesis proposes approaches and models to increase the energy saving of the User Equipment (UE) in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G. The focus is mainly on Discontinuous Reception (DRX), the UE energy saving mechanism that was first introduced in LTE and will play an important role in 5G too.In this thesis, we take two main approaches. The first approach is based on joint optimization of DRX a

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rapidly growing field. Short-term safety and efficacy of these procedures have been studied extensively. However, little is known about the safety of these devices over time. Stroke is one feared long-term complication, and an increased stroke rate could affect guidelines for treating both the aortic stenosis and choosing antithrombotic therapy af

In order to develop new environmental policies, it is important first to evaluate those that have already been used. However, this intuitively simple idea is difficult to apply in practice, no more so than in the complex governance context of the EU. Attributing impacts to specific policies is challenging, and making evaluations useful for political decision making is even more demanding. Five app

Iran’s newly appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Quds Force, Muhammad Reza Fallahzadeh, is not only an experienced military man but also a politician with diplomatic experience. He is a vital asset for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which wants to see its own man elected president in the June elections.

Avian malaria is a common and widespread disease of birds caused by a diverse group of pathogens of the genera Plasmodium. We investigated the transcriptomal profiles of one of the most common species, Plasmodium relictum, lineage SGS1, at multiple timepoints during the blood stages of the infection under experimental settings. The parasite showed well separated overall transcriptome profiles betw

Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, and there is now ample evidence of phenotypic changes in wild organisms in response to this novel environment. Yet, the genetic changes and genomic architecture underlying these adaptations are poorly understood. Here, we genotype 192 great tits (Parus major) from nine European cities, each paired with an adjacent rural site, to address this major knowledge ga

Virtual Reality (VR) experiments are used to study human behavior in fire because they allow simulation of fire events with relatively low risks to the participants, while maintaining high levels of experimental control. Manystudies have used VR experiments to explore aspects of the human response to fire threats, but VR experiments as a research method are yet to be subjected to a systematic proc

Arbetet med affischen har gjorts med stöd av Lunds universitet. Ekologen Anna Persson har skrivit informativa texter och Karin Johnson på Biologiska museet har tagit fram humlearter från insektssamlingarna som sedan har illustrerats av Maj Persson, biolog och illustratör. Bilderna visar honan (drottningen) och hanen (drönaren) av varje skånsk humleart.

Länsstyrelsen Skåne släpper en humlebok, gjord som en fältguide med vackra illustrationer där även amatörer kan lära sig att artbestämma humlor. Kan det vara en jordhumla? Vallhumla? Eller kanske en sydsnylthumla?Humleboken har tryckts upp i 5000 exemplar och kommer från nästa vecka att säljas till självkostnadspris i Länsstyrelsen Skånes naturum i Kullaberg, Söderåsen och Stenshuvud samt troligtv

Universell utformning (härefter UD efter engelskans Universal Design) handlar omdesign som inkluderar alla människor, inklusive personer medfunktionsnedsättningar. UD finns med som en förpliktelse i FN:s konvention omrättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning. Det innebär att UD ingår ipolicyer för många samhällsområden som ett politiskt åtagande för nya produkter och miljöer, men också pro
