This chapter focuses on life science companies’ engagement with their university- based entrepreneurship ecosystem. It analyzes multiple case studies with life science companies based around Lund University in Sweden. Our results demonstrate that life science companies engage with their ecosystem through three interconnected engagement logics: network, relations, and governance. We propose a model

Weather extremes, such as extreme heat and precipitation, are expected to increase in both intensity and duration due to climate change. Previous research suggests members of the acute homeless population are particularly vulnerable to such climatic extreme events. However, this has not been studied earlier in the context of Sweden. In this thesis, I merge the two persistent global problems, weath

With fossil fuel-dependencies affecting energy generation, and renewables being contextually limited by intermittency and dispatchability issues, this work explores European Pressurized-water Reactors (EPRs) as a nuclear-based climate mitigation measure in France and in the EU. Through its conceptual framework, this paper evaluates the technical potential of EPRs through the gate-keeping effect of

Background: Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are among the largest public health challenges in Sweden. Research indicates that a healthy lifestyle can prevent most cases. The health dialogue is an evidence-based public health programme for primary care with positive results in several regions of Sweden. This study aimed to describe health care professionals’ experiences and perceptions o

Forskning visar att naturupplevelser kan leda till ökat mänskligt välmående. Dessa fördelar är särskilt värdefulla för sjuka och sköra personer, såsom patienter på sjukhus. Genom att analysera planeringsdokument och intervjua relevanta aktörer undersöker denna studie hur naturområden är inkluderade i planeringen av ett framtida sjukhus i Helsingborg, Sverige. Mer specifikt så ger den insikt i hur A growing field of research links natural environments to increased human well-being. These benefits are especially valuable for people in the process of regaining health, for instance those who are in hospitals. Through reviewing planning documents and interviewing key actors, this thesis explores how natural environments are incorporated in the planning of a future hospital in Helsingborg, Swede

The creation of prototypes for the design of new products is a fundamental activity in the metal-mechanic sector that contributes to Bolivia's socioeconomic development. The existence of a multitude of factors that positively or negatively affect the prototype, are encompassed in two approaches: i) prototyping engineering and ii) prototyping management. Research for the design of prototypes suitab

"My memories from Algiers - Between power and trust in Algiers' diplomatic spaces during Henric Gottfrid Brandel's accession to the consular office 1765-1768." In 1764, Henric Gottfrid Brandel was appointed consular secretary to the Swedish consul in Algiers. He would remain as secretary until late 1765 and early 1766, when he was appointed as temporary consul by the then current

Research shows that a significant portion of the environmental impact from products is determined already in the design phase. Implementation of principles of Circular Economy (CE) in design practice has the potential to reduce waste and to encourage reuse of resources. Since designers are responsible for the design process, it is therefore relevant to investigate whether designers are properly eq

Proposing “sustainable meetings”: convention bureaus marketing of destinations as ethicalIn the wake of a crisis and restrictions on physical interactions, the importance of meetings is emphasized more than ever. The meetings industry has gone from unprecedented down-sizing to higher booking rates than ever, and attracting meetings is an important part of municipalities place brandingstrategies. A

Aims: Resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who remain comatose after hospital arrival are at high risk of mortality due to anoxic brain injury. MicroRNA are small-non-coding RNA molecules ultimately involved in gene-silencing. They show promise as biomarkers, as they are stable in body fluids. The microRNA 9-3p (miR-9-3p) is associated with neurological injury in trauma and

Co-production has become paramount for scientists, practitioners and social groups of Indigenous peoples and local communities of rural and urban areas to deliver transformative changes that enhance sustainability. Co-production should result in knowledge that is credible, legitimate and usable to enable sustainable outcomes effectively. However, this is not always the case due to challenges relat

Corrosion is the main factor limiting the lifetime of metallic materials, and a fundamental understanding of the governing mechanism and surface processes is difficult to achieve since the thin oxide films at the metal–liquid interface governing passivity are notoriously challenging to study. In this work, a combination of synchrotron-based techniques and electrochemical methods is used to investi

We investigated the structural evolution of electrochemically fabricated Pd nanowires in situ by means of grazing-incidence transmission small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (GTSAXS and GTWAXS), x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and two-dimensional surface optical reflectance (2D-SOR). This shows how electrodeposition and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) compete and interact during Pd electrodeposit

Quantum cascade lasers provide a variety of challenges to theory, which are outlined in this review: (i) The choice of basis states is discussed, where energy eigenstates are badly defined if the full periodic structure is considered. (ii) The tunneling through barriers requires a treatment of quantum coherences, which sets particular demands on the formulation of the quantum kinetic equations. He

Small-angle neutron scattering is used to study the exchange bias effect in Mn50Ni40Sn10. The martensitic transformation is found to be responsible for the nanometer-scale spin clusters (SCs) inside the low-temperature ferromagnetic (FM) martensite phase. The magnetic field dependences of the SCs and FM domains exhibit an asymmetry that characterizes the exchange bias. We find that the surface geo
