Minimalinvasiv hjärtkirurgi definieras som hjärtkirurgiska operationstekniker där man avstår från en full median sternotomin (längsgående delning av hela bröstbenet). Hjärtoperationen sker då istället med alternativa exponeringstekniker under det att man använder konventionell hjärt-lungmaskin. Beroende på diagnos utförs antingen operationen med video-assisterad, eller robot-assisterad, endoskopi Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is defined a cardiac surgery with heart-lung machine, but without full median sternotomy. Depending on the underlying disease the surgical procedures can be performed through a 4-6 cm mini-thoracotomy on the right side with either video-assisted or robotic-asssited endoscopy or through a partial split of the sternum. We believe that minimally invasive facilitate

Forskargruppen Bredbandskommunikation fokuserar på s.k. "core networks" och arbetar i alla lager. Forskningsområdena tillämpar områdena signalbehandling, DSL-system och nätverksdesign och gruppen är systemfokuserad med systemets funktionalitet och underhåll i fokus. Forskningen sker i nära samarbete med svenska och internationella industripartners. I Sverige har koncernen ett formellt avtal med ErThe Broadband Communications group at EIT focuses on broadband access and core networks, on all layers. The research areas applied are signal processing, DSL systems, and network design. The group has a system-centric approach, where the system functionality and maintenance is the main focus. The research is performed in close cooperation with Swedish and International industrial partners. In Swed

Most challenges for the industry in this area are generic and based on the same physical mechanisms. To develop this field, both experiments and models need to be improved and coordinated. AdTherM is a platform centered around the models and methods used t

We challenge the question of how environmental (diet, physical activity, alcohol) factors modify genetic associations put forward by us and others, in recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) of lipoprotein traits, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and obesity and aim to utilize this information in intervention studies and in development of prediction models. We work to further improve genetic C

På Filosofiska institutionen arbetar ett sjuttiotal anställda och drygt 250 studenter, antingen inom den tidigaste akademiska disciplinen filosofi, eller inom en av de allra senast tillkomna, kognitionsvetenskap. Institutionens utbildningar har gott rykte och vår forskning håller hög klass, med internationellt erkända och på vissa områden ledande forskare.There are around 70 employees at the Department of Philosophy and just over 250 students, working either in the most ancient academic discipline of philosophy or in one of the most recent, cognitive science. The department's programmes have a good reputation and our research is of the highest quality, with internationally recognised and in some fields leading researchers.

Norma Research Programme är en tvärvetenskaplig forskningsmiljö vid den Juridiska fakulteten, och ett forskningscentrum knutet till the Labour Law Research Network (LLRN). Fokus ligger på den rättsliga regleringen av vardagsliv och social integration på nationell, EU och internationell nivå, och på arbetsmarknad, social välfärd, åldrande befolkning, och familj. Verksamheten innefattar forskning i The Norma Research Programme is an interdisciplinary research environment at the Faculty of Law, and a research centre affiliated with the Labour Law Research Network (LLRN). The focus is on the legal regulation of everyday life and social integration at national, EU, and international level, and on labour markets, social welfare, ageing societies, and families. The research environment includes a
