The purpose of this paper is three-fold. Firstly, to present a unique collaborative project in a graduate course module on Technology strategy between the biotech company Biogaia and the Faculty of Engineering, Lund university in Sweden. Secondly, to present and discuss some key findings for working and collaborating with this company in university education. Thirdly, to present and discuss the im

This chapter is, in part, about law and legal change. Law – especially intellectual property law – is greatly challenged in a digital society where media is distributed in global networks, for example via BitTorrent sites such as The Pirate Bay. New norms for behavior set up under new pre-conditions in an online environment have emerged alongside the legal, emphasizing some sort of norm-pluralism

Enterprise Systems Implementation Methodology (ESIM) is considered to be a critical factor for successful Enterprise Systems (ES) implementations. In spite of ESIM’s potential and significance for practice, little attention has been paid to this object of study in ES literature. Current studies reveal contradictory findings regarding its potential value and provide a fragmented understanding of it

On the decision of the Swedish government, the Swedish National Road Administration (SNRA) has started a large-scale trial with Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) in urban areas. One of the four test sites is the city of Lund. At the Department of Technology and Society, Lund University, research about ISA has been carried out since 1986 and the first field study was carried out in 1993. The ongoi

In a world where distributed power generation and deregulation of energy markets are on everyone's agenda, the need for highly efficient power plants with short lead times is greater than ever. Although at present combined cycles provide a solution, development of ever more advanced machines to increase efficiency and lower the environmental impact has led to high maintenance costs and a decrease

Psykiatrins historia har studerats på flera olika sätt, men det är sällan de drabbade själva får komma till tals och bli tagna på allvar. Lars-Eric Jönsson undersöker här personliga erfarenheter från den psykiatriska vården. Han beskriver och analyserar självbiografiska och/eller skönlitterära skildringar av psykiatrin, från tidigt 1800-talet fram till idag. Vad händer när patienten, som i de fles

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising but challenging combustion engine concept. The potential for good fuel economy and low emissions is high but the transient performance required for automotive applications presents a few problems still to be solved. The focus of this work is identification of the process dynamics. An ARX type model is fitted to input-output data. A meth

We report the results of two newspaper reading experiments. We examine how readersÕ eye movements are affected by graphical elements such as photos and information graphics. Control variables in these experiments include size and content of photos, and spatial structure of information graphics. We hypothesized that large photo size and animate photo content would be associated with a local increas

Modulation of the gut microbiota with prebiotic oligosaccharides from partially hydrolyzed xylans can be part of the solution for reducing the occurrence of many health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that selectively stimulate health beneficial bacteria in the colon, restoring homeostasis to the gut environment. Xylans are hemicelluloses

Andra världskriget har längre setts som den gränssättande händelsen i den moderna historien. Men kanske var andra världskriget bara första världskrigets sista slag. Det är första världskriget som är vår historiska urkatastrof, som under hundra år skapat nya konflikter, krig och folkmord, men också mer fredliga utvecklingar. De stora öppna såren i vår värld, på Balkan och Nordirland, i Mellanöstern

Abstract in Undetermined This paper describes a way to modify the K-Best Sphere Detector, using the knowledge that the real and the imaginary part of complex number are always orthogonal. To ensure that this property is used, a modification to the Real Value Decomposition is proposed that will ensure that the orthogonality is seen also after the decomposition. The proposed method allows for equall

The two major breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, account for the majority of familial breast–ovarian cancer, but only a modest proportion of breast cancer families without ovarian or male breast cancer. Search for additional breast cancer genes with traditional linkage analysis has so far been unsuccessful, probably due to genetic heterogeneity. Pooling of families of different e
