Princely marriages are here seen as a key component in dynasty formation and dynasty securing. The marriages of the Danish royal house and three houses of the Empire are studied for the period c. 1530–1700. Most of them took place within what can be labelled a Scandinavian-German-Lutheran marriage sphere. It was a highly hierarchized sphere with little contact between top (royal and electoral hous

The following dataset of geolocated travel guide toponyms was compiled in the process of a research project Historical GIS and Guidebooks: A Scalable Reading of Czechoslovak Tourist Attractions (Bechmann Pedersen & Johansson, forthcoming) in which we performed a scalable reading of three travel guides of the former Czechoslovak lands as they were cirka 1959. We used a specialized, open-sourced

Knowledge of DNA - lipid layer interactions is key for the development of biosensors, synthetic nanopores, scaffolds, and gene-delivery systems. These interactions are strongly affected by the ionic composition of the solvent. We have combined quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and ellipsometry measurements to reveal how pH, buffers and alkali metal chloride salts affect the interaction of DNA with

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), characterized by recurrent periods of upper airway obstruction and intermittent hypoxaemia, is prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and is therefore important to consider in the prevention and management of CVD. Observational studies indicate that OSA is a risk factor for incident hypertension, poorly controlled blood pressure, stroke, myocardial

Background: Participatory research has been described to improve the relevance of research findings for the society in terms of quality of healthcare services and other public benefits. Nevertheless, there is limited guidance on how to conduct participatory research, and especially in relation to persons living in residential care facilities. To make the voices of this group heard, we therefore ta

Background: Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a challenging disease, and despite new therapies, prognosis is still poor for a majority of patients. There is a clinical need for improved prognostication where immuno-oncology markers can provide important information. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum immuno-oncology markers in MBC patients and their respective relevance for prediction of

Objectives: Detecting particle flow from the airways by a non-invasive analyzing technique might serve as an additional tool to monitor mechanical ventilation. In the present study, we used a customized particles in exhaled air (PExA) technique, which is an optical particle counter for the monitoring of particle flow in exhaled air. We studied particle flow while increasing and releasing positive

Critical scholarship on the intersection of development pathways and climate change responses highlights the roles of power, agency, social difference, intersecting inequalities, and social justice in shaping people's resilience in a rapidly transforming world. Yet, how to precisely increase the spaces in which people experiencing marginalisation can address power asymmetries and strengthen their

Background: Functionally disruptive variants in the glucokinase gene (GCK) cause a form of mild non-progressive hyperglycemia, which does not require pharmacological treatment. A substantial proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) carry GCK variants. We aimed to investigate whether carriers of rare GCK variants diagnosed with T2D have a glycemic phenotype and treatment response consisten

Surveys of urban history from ancient times to the present reveal a continuum of collective responses to pandemics ranging from quarantine facilities and monitoring the spread of disease to building new wastewater networks. The contemporary COVID-19 pandemic includes new digital tools and techniques that supplement (and sometimes replace) the existing analogue responses, while raising new ethical

Drawing on the review of quality assurance policies in higher education already set out of the introduction, this chapter explores the impact of national quality assurance processes adopted to aid consistency in the judgement of academic standards in UK higher education. Specifically, it will examine the ways in which the processes adopted to support marking and to moderate marks, known collective

This study investigates the impact in terms of radiation dose when performing simultaneous digital breast tomosynthesis(DBT) and mechanical imaging (MI) – DBTMI. DBTMI has demonstrated the potential to increase specificity of cancerdetection, and reduce unnecessary biopsies, as compared to digital mammography (DM) screening. The presence of theMI sensor during simultaneous image acquisition may in

Uppgifter om de tidigaste hedersdoktoraten respektive första kvinnliga hedersdoktorerna vid de olika fakulteterna inom Lunds universitet samt fördjupningar kring några specifika historiska fall av tilltänkta eller utdelade hedersdoktorat.

Preservation of digital records is still very much an open issue within large parts of the Swedish public sector. An ongoing work of coordinating the digital preservation in the public sector is carried out by the Swedish National Archives, but, as of yet, the results are limited, and much remains to be done. The issue of digital preservation is also inherently one that will require a lot of diffe

This study investigates how art museums of Copenhagen currently (2022) are rediscovering the “forgotten” female artists associated with the Danish modernism. Through discourses in exhibition labels, the methods for curating rediscovering narratives are examined. Specifically, it studies the textual subject positioning of artists in relation to their gender, to the art they create and to the social
