Whole-genome sequencing of non-model organisms is now widely accessible and has allowed a range of questions in the field of molecular ecology to be investigated with greater power. However, some genomic regions that are of high biological interest remain problematic for assembly and data-handling. Three such regions are the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), sex-determining regions (SDRs) an

Organisations that deviate from ethical expectations regarding their behaviour risk damaging their image and, hence, threatening their very survival (refs.). Contemporary representations of fashion retail in media and popular culture—which depict fashion retail as a key contributor to the climate crisis—are, therefore, a challenge for retailers in general and for fashion retailers in particular. I

Slutsatsen av denna undersökning är att Birger Gregersson has skrivit ett skickligt utformat, något pompöst officium som förmedlar en bild av Birgitta som ett helt och hållet universellt helgon och samtidigt en utsökt prydnad för sitt eget land. Nils Hermansson har å sin sida givit oss en Birgitta som i sitt liv och sin undervisning är en trogen dotter till Jungfru Maria och en kyrkolärare. Nils H

Due to its proximity, the Orion star forming region is often used as a proxy to study processes related to star formation and to observe young stars in the environment they were born in. With the release of Gaia DR2, the distance measurements to the Orion complex are now good enough that the 3D structure of the complex can be explored. Here we test the hypothesis that, due to non-trivial structure

Reduced energy consumption is an important strategy for climate change mitigation. Buildings, worldwide, accounts for 40 % of the primary energy use and 24 % of greenhouse gas emissions.There are studies and publications indicating that problems with high indoor temperature during summer are increasing in residential buildings designed as passive houses and low-energy buildings.The objective of th

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a rapid change in travel behavior for different types of trips, including everyday social and recreational leisure trips. People have used adaptive travel behaviors to cope with the new circumstances for activities and transport. Due to the Swedish strategy focusing on more voluntary restrictions, people have had reason to consider which trips and activities to ski

In this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö. We show how a planning and design strategy for this area has come to focus on a ‘compact city’ typology in line with Malmö’s strategy for creating a ‘near, dense, green and mixed city’. Such compact city typology emphasizes high density, urbanity, proIn this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö.

Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are a completely new and rapidly growing specialty comprising patients who require specialist knowledge regarding their care and treatment. Challenges involve diagnostics and treatment as studies are scarce and include small and heterogenous study populations.The first aim with this thesis was to evaluate the relationship between the systemic right ventr

Thermoresponsive microgels are a popular model system to study phase transitions in soft matter, because temperature directly controls their volume fraction. Ionic microgels are additionally pH-responsive and possess a rich phase diagram. Although effective interaction potentials between microgel particles have been proposed, these have never been fully tested, leading to a gap in our understandin

Skuldtyngd är ett fyraårigt forskningsprojekt som startade 2021 i samarbete mellan Lunds universitet och Göteborgs universitet. Projektet är finansierat av Forte och studerar skuldsättningsproblem bland unga vuxna i åldern 18 till 25 år. Centralt för projektet är att förstå skuldsättningen ur ungas eget perspektiv, liksom att studera skuldsättning som ett komplext socialt och relationellt fenomen
