Objective: The aim of this study was to assess information literacy performance of students doing their master thesis at 5th year the Medical Degree Programme, Lund University, Sweden. The study investigates if there is a difference in performance between library class participants and non-participants. Method: A case-control approach with rubrics assessment was used to assess students’ informatio

Welders are exposed to high levels of metal particles, consisting mainly of iron and manganese (Mn) oxide. Metal particles, especially those containing Mn can be neurotoxic. In this exploratory study, we evaluated associations between welding and expression of 87 putative neurology-related proteins in serum in a longitudinal approach. The study cohort from southern Sweden included welders working

The Ålandic autonomy has evolved into a relatively well-functioning system over the last century. A scrutiny of the first three decades following the decisions by the Council of the League of Nations shows that this was not always the case. This article engages with the main political issues that Åland faced during this time, focusing on the problems that directly or indirectly involved the League

Det är dags för ett nytt socialt kontrakt som utgår ifrån individens skyldighet att bidra till ett samhällssystem som tar de ekologiska gränserna på allvar. Staten bör i sin tur garantera att det sätts ett tak på hur jordens resurser ska kunna användas för befolkningens välbefinnande, skriver Jayeon Lindellee och Max Koch.

Computed tomography (CT)-derived finite element (FE) models have been proposed as a tool to improve the current clinical assessment of osteoporosis and personalized hip fracture risk by providing an accurate estimate of femoral strength. However, this solution has two main drawbacks, namely: (i) 3D CT images are needed, whereas 2D dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images are more generally av

Strand, S.M., H.H. Christiansen, M. Johansson, J. Åkerman, O. Humlum. 2020. Permafrost and Periglacial Processes 2020Active layer probing in northern Sweden, northeast Greenland, and central Svalbard indicates active layer thickening has occurred at Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) sites with long‐term, continuous observations, since the sites were established at these locations in 1978, 1996, and 2000, respectively. The study areas exhibit a reverse latitudinal gradient in average active layer thickne

Efter tre års arbete har Riksbankskommittén lagt fram sitt betänkande om Riksbankens framtida uppgifter och politik. Vi ser betydande brister i de tre tjockavolymerna. Kommittén borde ha analyserat Sveriges möjligheter att bedriva ensjälvständig penningpolitik i en globaliserad värld. Den borde ha utvärderatkonsekvenserna för svensk ekonomi av den okonventionella penningpolitik somRiksbanken fört

hand in the fight against resistant microbes. This thesis discusses the feasibility and potential of specific immunotherapy in treating acute bacterial infections and chronic sequels. The infection model is acute cystitis; the most common form of urinary tract infection, affecting millions of patients annually. Susceptible patients develop the characteristic clinical manifestation of dysuria, urge

The aim of this paper is to discuss how research schools with a structured programme and targeted profile may make it difficult for doctoral students to expand the academic role. Our paper is based on material collected in a questionnaire given to doctoral students enrolled at a Swedish research school in architecture. In this questionnaire we found three areas – openness to other disciplines and

BACKGROUND: We recently showed that striatal overexpression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) by adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector exacerbated L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. An extensive sprouting of striatal serotonergic terminals accompanied this effect, accounting for the increased susceptibility to LID.OBJECTIVE: We set to investigate whether the BDNF effe
