Hur formar vi framtiden och hur lär vi oss av historien? Vilken roll spelar konsten i ett framtida samhälle, hur fungerar framsynthet inom ekonomi och juridik, och hur kan framtidens komplexa forskningsresultat förmedlas och spridas till samhället utanför akademin?LU Futura var Lunds universitets tvärvetenskapliga tankesmedja för framtidsfrågor 2018 2021. Framtidskompasser är projektets slutpunkt,

Binary mixture of ammonia (NH3) and dimethyl ether (DME) has been considered in literature as a potential fuel for practical use. Nitric oxide (NO) is a major product of combustion of NH3-containing fuels, and its formation routes have to be comprehensively studied. In this work, concentration profiles of NO were experimentally measured in laminar axisymmetric flames using planar laser-induced flu

In the context of natural hazard risk quantification and modeling of hazard interactions, some literature separates “Level I” (or occurrence) interactions from “Level II” (or consequence) interactions. The Level I interactions occur inherently due to the nature of the hazards, independently of the presence of physical assets. In such cases, one hazard event triggers or modifies the occurrence of a

As it is the case in many European countries, psychosocial disabil-ities have become an important concern in Sweden. Persons withpsychosocial disabilities’ experiences of various societal domainssuch as school, work, family life, leisure activities and contactwith welfare agencies need a complex analysis which takes intoaccount both personal and contextual factors. This article draws on15 intervie

The clinical translation of photosensitizers based on ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes (RPCs) in photodynamic therapy of cancer faces several challenges. To address these limitations, we conducted an investigation to assess the potential of a cubosome formulation stabilized in water against coalescence utilizing a polyphosphoester analog of Pluronic F127 as a stabilizer and loaded with newly sy

Ensuring the reliability of railway transportation is heavily dependent on the quality of its infrastructure. In this regard, renewal and maintenance of the railway track infrastructure, referred to as trackwork, play a vital role. However, trackwork execution requires temporary capacity restrictions for train traffic. Therefore, harmonising the train and maintenance schedules is critical but chal

By the adoption of the United Nation Convention on the Rights of Personswith Disabilities, many countries have committed to providing conditionsfor persons with disabilities to actively participate in the community. Thisarticle explores the meaning of active citizenship for persons withpsychosocial disabilities and focuses in particular on the role of thestate. Illustrated with examples from Swede

Dendrometers offer valuable insights into how tree growth responds to climatic variables and physiological processes over the course of a year. Yet, their applicability to extremely slow-growing trees, such as those in peatlands, has been limited due to the intricate and slow nature of growth, therefore rendering interpretation of results complex. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive monito

The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) has pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic effects. Low plasma levels of soluble RAGE (sRAGE), a decoy receptor for RAGE ligands, have been associated with increased risk for major adverse coronary events (MACE) in the general population. We performed a genome-wide association study to identify genetic determinants of plasma sRAGE in 4338 indivi

This article analyses the claims of contemporary disabilityrights activists mobilising in a context where de facto second-class citizenship co-exists with legal and political declarationsabout the rights of disabled people. As an empirical case,it focuses on the blog ‘Full Participation.Now’, which wasinitiated by disability rights activists in Sweden. Drawing uponcitizenship research, the article

A 14.5 GHz Injection Locked Oscillator (ILO) with digital output phase control has been implemented in a 90 nm CMOS process. It is intended for LO signal generation in integrated phased array transceivers. The chip, measuring 360x530 μm2 including pads, was characterized using on-wafer probing. It consumes 9.4 mA from a 1.2 V supply and has a 1.4 GHz frequency range where full 3600 phase range is
