Aortic valvular disease is a severe ailment that causes great suffering and many deaths worldwide. The exponentially increasing prevalence of the disease has accelerated the demand of a new functioning valve prosthesis. A new approach is to decellularize homograft heart valves, which has demonstrated promising results in clinical trials. The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration Lab in Lund has dev

Scientific studies indicate that the effects of the ongoing climate crisis negatively affect and sometimes also threaten the built environment, humanity and nature in many ways. Cloudbursts and rising sea levels are two examples of such effects, which result in complex dilemmas and interesting challenges that planners and urban designers face within their field of work. These two effects are notic

BACKGROUND: The Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) is a validated quality-of-life questionnaire with 6 domains designed to provide a standardized method of measuring outcomes in pediatric musculoskeletal conditions. To our knowledge there are no reports on its use in children with multiple hereditary exostosis (MHE).QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: Most published studies on MHE patients have

Härma historien och rör om i sanden! En mångfald av arter och livsmiljöer skapar förutsättningar för mer än vi kanske tänker på i det dagliga livet. Grödor anpassade till olika klimat och jordmån, naturlig bekämpning av skadedjur genom rovlevande skalbaggar och andra insekter samt baljväxter och svampar som hjälper växternas näringsupptag på traven ger förutsättningar för en effektivare och långsThe conservation value of sandy habitats for a flora and fauna adapted to open, light, dry, warm, and often nutrient-poor conditions, is well recognized. Today this environment is threatened by lack of disturbance, fragmentation and exploitation, acidification and increased levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. Traditional management such as mowing and grazing have proven unsuitable for restoring pop

Skjutvapenvåldet har ökat kraftigt i Sverige under det senaste decenniet och ligger nu i topp bland de länder i Europa som har flest skjutningar. Polisen är väl medveten om det allvarliga läget och har på uppdrag av regeringen börjat föra statistik över skjutvapenvåldet som visar på ett tydligt sätt hur skjutningarna ökar för varje år. I det allvarliga läge som har uppstått så ställs det höga krav

Inom samhällsplanering har den tekniska utvecklingen medfört att digitala modeller kan användas inom planering av städer och samhällen. Mycket arbete och forskning har fokuserat på digitalisering av stadsmodeller, för att skapa så kallade digitala tvillingar. Digitala tvillingar är digitala kopior som kan användas för att planera och simulera åtgärder i till exempel en stad eller stadsdel. Något sThe digitalisation of processes in societal planning has increased the need for a more standardised approach to the visualisation of geographic information. In recent years a lot of progress has been made with regards to digital models of cities and societies. However, this does not apply to underground data and models to the same extent. The overall objective of this report is to identify areas o

When a stroke patient visits a physiotherapist for rehabilitation, various tests are often conducted. The results from these tests need to be stored somewhere, and currently, there is no efficient method for doing so. The best available option is an Excel spreadsheet that calculates the results, followed by the physiotherapist having to save the data in another way. This process is time-consuming,

Numerous risks threaten modern society. Some are new, while others have existed since the beginning of time, but none have been governed on a societal level since their inception. Despite the abundance of literature addressing the governance of various risks, the processes by which they become governable in the first place have gotten little attention. As a result, this paper aims to improve our k

The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of how gender was used and expressed through burial customs in the South Scandinavian mesolithic. This topic was chosen to further explore gender aspects during the mesolithic through different perspectives on the burial to complement previous research. For this purpose 110 graves from Sweden and Denmark were examined and 48 of them were deemed ap

This paper aims to share new knowledge about tensions in establishing a new school in a marketised educational landscape, with a special focus on teachers’ experiences of enacting a highly profiled vision. The paper is based on a single case study using observations, surveys, interviews and document studies. To cover the complex enactment process, we have created a multilayered enactment triangle

Several researchers have approached the subject of VUCA and the challenges of operating in a VUCA world. However, previous research seldom addresses specifically how the work can be done or how these qualities and skills can be developed. The purpose of this study is to help professionals responsible for competence development in their work to enable employees to handle a VUCA world. Therefore, th

3-dimensionell (3D) rekonstruktion, ett område inom datorseende, har under senare år gjort stora framsteg som en konsekvens av de omfattande genombrott som har skett inom Artificiell Intelligens (AI). Inom datorseende har man som mål att försöka förklara hur världen ser ut för en dator, där saker som vi människor finner uppenbara behöver beskrivas i detalj med matematiska begrepp för att datorn sk3D reconstruction is a field in computer vision which has evolved rapidly as a result of the recent advancements in deep learning. As 3D reconstruction pipelines now can run in real-time, this has opened up new possibilities for teams developing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which rely on the camera system of the vehicle to enhance the safety and driving experience. This thesis pres

This paper explores the career development of non-male workers in the video game industry in a male-dominated context. It examines their motivation, perception of success, goals, and values. The aim was to contribute to the discourse on the experience of minorities in a majority-dominated work context and how this affects their career development. This study followed two research strategies, groun

Forecasting wind has always been an interesting subject, and as large parts of the world are relying more on wind for power production it is becoming even more important to have reliable forecasts. Probabilistic forecasts, where distributions are predicted in contrast to deterministic forecasts, are impor- tant for informed decision making. We apply two methods based on conformal prediction for pr

During the COVID-19 pandemic governments worldwide went into lockdown to stop the spread of the virus. Lockdown severely challenged the preconditions assumed necessary for the development and retention of a sense of belonging. The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the components of belonging, how they interrelate, and critically examine ruling assumptions about the creati

Significant collaborations with research partners in China are seen in many Western countries. With increasing US-China geopolitical tensions, governments, research institutions, and individuals in established scientific systems are increasingly required to address a proliferating array of risks and challenges associated with collaboration with China. Academic researchers are only beginning to des

True Crime har blivit en växande trend, men har funnits sen femtonhundratalet, (Nationalencyklopedin, 2023). I dagens samhälle finns det en mängd kanaler du kan ansluta dig till för att kunna ta del av ämnet. En av det mest populära är podcasts, som nu börjar få kritik för användningen av materialet de samlar in för att kunna göra en berättelse. Kritiken som många true crime podcasts utstår är frå
