To investigate multimodal signals in cat–human communication we recorded 36 cat–owner interactions in everyday situations that were judged by the owners for valence (negative, mixed or positive). We then coded the videos for behaviour using an ethogram including vocal, visual and tactile (multimodal) signals. Vocalisations were segmented and acoustic measures of duration and F0 obtained. In cats,
Plasma proteomics offers high potential for biomarker discovery, as plasma is collected through a minimally invasive procedure and constitutes the most complex human-derived proteome. However, the wide dynamic range poses a significant challenge. Here, we propose a semi-automated method based on the use of multiple single chain variable fragment antibodies, each enriching for peptides found in up
This thesis addresses the critical issue of design and development of products like production machines for SMEs and rural communities as an essential capability to foster local technology development within the innovation systems of Latin America. What is studied and discussed in this thesis is the pre-requisites for effective application of design and development methods, like design thinking fo
Air pollution is a global health problem and in Mozambique, indoor air pollution is primarily causedby cooking over an open fire.

Energy economists have long argued that energy systems need to be adaptable in the face of shocks. In the early twentieth century, Denmark embodied the opposite, with its industry almost entirely dependent on imports of coal from the UK. Towards the end of the First World War, however, and well into the 1920s, coal imports became expensive and more difficult to obtain. Local diversification was po
This paper compares general measures against tax avoidance and the design of general anti-avoidance rules (GAARs) in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. It focuses on aspects such as tax benefits, tax purposes, economic substance, and breaches of legislative purpose. The paper also examines potential compliance issues between national GAARs, tax treaties, and the European Union’s Anti-Tax Avoida
BACKGROUND: Discrimination may further impede access to medical care for individuals in socially disadvantaged positions. Sociodemographic information and perceived discrimination intersect and define multiple contexts or strata that condition the risk of refraining from seeking physician's care. By applying analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA) we aimed to impro
A search for leptoquark pair production decaying into te-t¯e+ or tμ-t¯μ+ in final states with multiple leptons is presented. The search is based on a dataset of pp collisions at s=13TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1. Four signal regions, with the requirement of at least three light leptons (electron
Bakgrund Långvarig behandling med opioida läkemedel, här definierat som> 3 månader, på indikation långvarig icke-malign smärta är vanligt förekommande i smärtvården. Vid undersökningar i Lund och Linköping har noterats att ungefär en tredjedel av populationen vid smärtklinikerna exponeras för opioidbehandling, trots avsaknad av evidens och samtidigt väl kända risker med behandlingen. Nedtrappning
We experimentally investigate the degree to which redistribution, the act of taking money from some individuals and giving it to others, affects social capital in groups. We measure social capital as the degree to which group members exhibit cooperativeness, trust and trustworthiness toward one another. Our experiment involves several rounds of real-effort production, in which we vary the degree t
Under rådande Covid-19 pandemi har lungan kommit i nytt fokus då vissa som insjuknar ser ut att få bestående förändringar på lungvävnaden. Förändringar som potentiellt kan utvecklas till lungfibros. I Gunilla Westergren-Thorssons forskargrupp inom lungbiologi vid Lunds universitet, arbetar ett 20-tal cellbiologer, kemister, ingenjörer och läkare med att i detalj studera lungvävnadens mikromiljö oc
Redogörelse för professor Johan Jacob Döbelius försök att inrätta ett under studietiden fritt studentboende (kollegium) satt i relation till Lunds universitets dåvarande övriga stipendieväsende.
Clusters of topologically connected calorimeter cells around cells with large absolute signal-to-noise ratio (topo-clusters) are the basis for calorimeter signal reconstruction in the ATLAS experiment. Topological cell clustering has proven performant in LHC Runs 1 and 2. It is, however, susceptible to out-of-time pile-up of signals from soft collisions outside the 25 ns proton-bunch-crossing wind
A long-standing question in evolutionary biology is how historical biogeographic processes have shaped the current diversity of organisms, especially for highly diverse groups. We study the diversification dynamics and biogeographic processes of one of the most diverse families of Lepidoptera, Geometridae, with over 24,000 described species and a worldwide distribution. Despite the cosmopolitan di
