Water in Wood : A Review of Current Understanding and Knowledge Gaps

Wood-water interactions are central to the utilization of wood in our society since water affects many important characteristics of wood. This topic has been investigated for more than a century, but new knowledge continues to be generated as a result of improved experimental and computational methods. This review summarizes our current understanding of the fundamentals of water in wood and highli

Proteomic characteristics and diagnostic potential of exhaled breath particles in patients with COVID-19

BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to predominantly infect the airways and the respiratory tract and too often have an unpredictable and different pathologic pattern compared to other respiratory diseases. Current clinical diagnostical tools in pulmonary medicine expose patients to harmful radiation, are too unspecific or even invasive. Proteomic analysis of exhaled breath particles (EBPs) in c

Balancing personal desire and social expectations, fathers who seek greater gender equality in the family today often face stereotypes at work and in society. Reflections from a collection of interviews

Weather-Related Railway Infrastructure Failures in Sweden: An Exploratory Study

The impacts of adverse weather conditions on railway infrastructure can result in delays and cancellations across the railway network and increased maintenance costs. The frequency and severity of extreme weather events are expected to rise due to climate change, making railways more vulnerable. This study aims to gain a better understanding of weather-related infrastructure failures (specifically

An improved estimate of soil carbon pool and carbon fluxes in the Qinghai-Tibetan grasslands using data assimilation with an ecosystem biogeochemical model

The accurate estimation of soil carbon (C) pool and fluxes is a prerequisite to better understand the terrestrial C feedback to climate change. However, recent studies showed considerable uncertainties in soil C estimates. To provide a reliable C estimate in the grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), we calibrated key parameters in a process-based ecosystem model (the CENTURY model) throug

Sizing up leadership : Norms and normativity in and around leadership measures

This thesis explores the role played by norms and social actors in establishing the acceptability and the purported validity of leadership measures. Taking an interpretivist and critical approach, I examine the subjective and normative side of supposedly objective quantitative assessment tools.Through observations, interviews, and document analysis I uncover the normative agendas and social contex

Betydelsen av mellanmänskliga möten i vården

I detta kapitel ställs frågor om betydelsen av mellanmänskliga möten inom vården utifrån ett patientperspektiv. Närmare bestämt hur kvinnor med bröstcancer upplevt att de fått balansera den medicinska vårdens effektivitet mot ett delvis uteblivet känslomässigt och personligt bemötande. Det kan beskrivas som ett känsloarbete där de medicinska villkoren väger över så att de egna känslorna inte får d

Biogas from agricultural waste : Turning unavailable residues into accessible resources

Moving from a fossil dependent to a fossil free economy requires increased energy production from renewable resources. This thesis discusses the utilization of agricultural waste streams, such as straw and manure, for biogas production. The first part of the research presented focuses on pretreatment of straw with the aim to reduce the handling issues concerning straw and improve the degradation o

Hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorn

I det här kapitlet beskriver och diskuterar vi hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorns roll i ett historiskt såväl som nutida perspektiv. Frågor i fokus handlar om hur den nyligen införda yrkeslegitimationen för kuratorer inom hälso- och sjukvården påverkar arbetssituationen avseende autonomi, jurisdiktion och samverkan med andra yrkesgrupper. Förändras yrkets legitimitet i organisationen? Vilka möjligheter

Spatial immunophenotyping of the tumour microenvironment in non-small cell lung cancer

INTRODUCTION: Immune cells in the tumour microenvironment are associated with prognosis and response to therapy. We aimed to comprehensively characterise the spatial immune phenotypes in the mutational and clinicopathological background of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS: We established a multiplexed fluorescence imaging pipeline to spatially quantify 13 immune cell subsets in 359 NSCLC

Forskningsdatahantering och infrastruktur vid Lunds universitet - en översikt av rapporter, undersökningar och utredningar 2015-2022 : behov, nuläge och framtid

Arbetet med stöd till forskningsdatahantering har utvecklats snabbt de senaste tio åren och kunskap har samlats både i publikationer och universitetsinterna rapporter. Forskarna efterfrågar infrastruktur, stöd och en universitetspolicy att luta sig emot. En analys av aggregerade behov och befintligt stöd visar att universitetet bör utveckla en samlad infrastruktur för forskningsdatalagring med möj

Stille slag (Quiet Beats) is an interdisciplinary performance based on a newly composed choir piece by Louise Alenius with text and dramaturgy by Tanja Diers, directed by Tue Biering in a visual concept by Ida Grarup. On stage are seven classical singers and five former inmates. The former inmates are moving in repetitive patterns in a cell like environment surrounded and ghosted by the singers wh
