Elva visioner för Getteröverkets framtid skapade under en tvåveckors workshop med arkitektstudenter från Lunds universitet. Workshopen är en del av forskningsprojektet Transform som syftar till att utforska hur Getteröverket kan utvecklas från reningsverk till resursverk – vilka resurser kan vi ta tillvara, och hur?WorkshopenSyftet med workshopen var att identifiera på vilket sätt och för vem mark
The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT is a prominent topicin higher education, prompting debate over their educational impact. Studies onthe effect of LLMs on learning in higher education often rely on self-reported data,leaving an opening for complimentary methodologies. This study contributes byanalysing actual course grades as well as ratings by fellow students to investigateh
BackgroundBreathlessness is a common and distressing symptom across a wide range of medical conditions. Different aspects (dimensions) of breathlessness can be assessed using the Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile (MDP) and Dyspnoea-12 (D12) questionnaires. We aimed to examine whether the order of completing MDP and D12 affects the breathlessness responses in people with cardiorespiratory disease.M
Despite efforts to integrate BIM and BEM, challenges persist, including incomplete data, errors, and the need for manual corrections, all hindering the implementation of sustainable building designs. Professionals in the Swedish architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry have yet to fully adopt standardized practices for exchanging BIM and BEM data. This article explores the challe
Improving energy efficiency in agriculture is key to reducing environmental impact. Lighting in animal buildings is one of the most cost‐effective energy saving measures. Lighting retrofit offers a short payback period, enhances animal welfare and production, and aligns with regulations for phasing out fluorescent lighting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the energy-saving potential o
The chapter discusses the theoretical reorientation in economic geography over the last twenty years from a focus on structures, represented by regional innovation systems, to addressing the role of human agency in regional economic development, and reflects on what the two approaches can contribute to achieving sustainable regional restructuring. We are doing this by focusing on two articles – pu
The need for large-scale production of highly accurate simulated event samples for the extensive physics programme of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider motivates the development of new simulation techniques. Building on the recent success of deep learning algorithms, variational autoencoders and generative adversarial networks are investigated for modelling the response of the cent
In recent years, the European Union (EU) has increased its external engagement in originally internal policy areas. Despite its growing importance for European integration, there remains a lack of scholarly attention to this trend. Focusing on energy, the following research question is asked: How and why has the EU increased its external engagement in energy policy between 2009–2022? To answer thi
Founded in 1952, the European Parliament has progressed through transformational constitutional processes into the primary bearer of democracy within the European Union as its only directly elected institution. As several studies have reported on legislative behavior in previous European Parliament terms, this thesis aims to capture the effects of electoral systems, parliamentary groups’ ideologic
The EU has faced increasing security threats over the past decade, which have begun to permeate many policy sectors. This has become an essential issue for reducing dependencies on external actors and political constraints, significantly affecting the EU’s relations. Simultaneously, the EU has rolled out more ambitious climate goals, aligning with its intention to become an international sustainab
Reductive amination is crucial for synthesizing amines in pharmaceutical and industry, yet selectively producing primary amines on a large scale remains challenging. This work presents a continuous-flow reductive amination process using benzaldehyde with NH3 and H2 as the nitrogen sources and reductant. A cobalt catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon derived from chitosan (Co@CS) was develope
Transition metal complexes featuring ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) excited states have been identified as promising candidates for driving electron transfer processes. To obtain an efficient system based on photo-induced bimolecular electron transfer, it is required that (1) photo-induced charge separation (CS) is faster than charge recombination (CR) of the separated charges, and (2) CR
Background and hypothesis Knowledge regarding access to first kidney transplantation (KT) and subsequent KT in patients commencing kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in childhood is limited. Methods Using European Renal Association (ERA) Registry data, we investigated European patients who started KRT below 20 years of age between 1978 and 2019. Access and determinants to first, second, and third KT
Over the past decade, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have revolutionized next-generation semiconductors, driving unprecedented advancements in cost-effective optoelectronics. While lead-based perovskite semiconductors exhibit exceptional optoelectronic properties, their inherent toxicity and vulnerability to environmental degradation remain significant barriers to widespread commercializ
Climate change is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss. Among vertebrates, amphibians are one of the more sensitive groups to climate change due to their unique ecology, habitat requirements, narrow thermal tolerance and relatively limited dispersal abilities. We projected the influence of climate change on an endemic toad, Malabar Tree Toad (Pedostibes tuberculosus; hereafter MTT) from t
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) remains a severe health issue in sub-Saharan Africa, causing blindness, illness, and child mortality. In Mozambique, about 69% of children under five are affected, highlighting the short-term impact and donor dependence of supplementation programs. Mangoes (Mangifera indica L.), rich in provitamin A carotenoids, offer a sustainable, food-based strategy to reduce VAD, but
Micropollutants in wastewater can persist through conventional treatment, threatening ecosystems and human health through toxicity, bioaccumulation, and disruption of biological processes. Limited monitoring, due to cost and methodological challenges, allows these compounds to go undetected, potentially leading to long-term, irreversible impacts. To address this, modern wastewater treatment plants
