Från överkonsumtion till anti-konsumtion : Nya trender i klimatfrågan

Konsumtionen är en stor samtidsfråga, men trots att fler handlar allt mer medvetet är svenskarna fortfarande bland världens sämsta när det gäller överkonsumtion. Två forskare vid Lunds Universitet ser hur anti-konsumtionen växer sig allt starkare. Men kommer också näringslivet att förändras?

Radial Distortion Invariant Factorization for Structure from Motion

Factorization methods are frequently used for structure from motion problems (SfM). In the presence of noise they are able to jointly estimate camera matrices and scene points in overdetermined settings, without the need for accurate initial solutions. While the early formulations were restricted to affine models, recent approaches have been show to work with pinhole cameras by minimizing object s

An Experimental Study of Forced Vibration Influence on Disc Brake Drag Torque in Heavy Commercial Road Vehicles

Drag torque in a disc brake is the residual torque when the brake is not activated. This torque can adversely influence the total energy consumption, life of the brake components, and level of airborne wear particles from vehicles. Drag torque is of special interest for long haul trucking since it could have an effect of the total energy consumption. Drag torque performance of a disc brake is usua

Almost Alive : Robots and Androids

Life-likeness is a property that can be used both to deceive people that a robot is more intelligent than it is or to facilitate the natural communication with humans. Over the years, different criteria have guided the design of intelligent systems, ranging from attempts to produce human-like language to trying to make a robot look like an actual human. We outline some relevant historical developm

Är du bosatt lille vän? Om bosättningsbegreppet i skatte-, socialförsäkrings- och folkbokföringsrätten

Det finns en långvarig idé om att skyldigheten att betala skatt och rätten till sociala förmåner bör kongruera med varandra. Vid en första anblick ser det också ut som att så är fallet, båda rättsområdena avgränsar sin personkrets med hänvisning till bosättning. I artikeln ”Är du bosatt lilla vän?” går jag igenom bosättningsbegreppen i folkbokföringslagen, inkomstskattelagen samt socialförsäkrings

Graduates of venture creation programs - where do they apply their entrepreneurial competencies?

The assessment of entrepreneurship education outcomes should move beyond a focus on firm creation and associated economic impact to consider a more nuanced view that pays attention to graduates and their entrepreneurial competencies. There is currently limited understanding to what extent entrepreneurial competencies developed through entrepreneurship education are applied in graduates’ subsequent

Tång + Keramik + Textil

Projektet undersöker och problematiserar tångens roll genom dess uttryck och materialitet. Projektet utforskar mötet mellan uttryck och upplevelser av tången utifrån ingångar som lera, akvarell och textila sublimerings- och transfertekniker, samt genom inkomna svar på frågelistan LUF 260 ”Tång och alger på marina marknader” (Lunds universitets folklivsarkiv). Formundersökningarna tar in sågtång oc

Periphilin self-association underpins epigenetic silencing by the HUSH complex

Transcription of integrated DNA from viruses or transposable elements is tightly regulated to prevent pathogenesis. The Human Silencing Hub (HUSH), composed of Periphilin, TASOR and MPP8, silences transcriptionally active viral and endogenous transgenes. HUSH recruits effectors that alter the epigenetic landscape and chromatin structure, but how HUSH recognizes target loci and represses their expr

The future of clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease. A blood-based biomarker perspective

Objectives: The primary objective was to investigate the utility of blood-basedbiomarkers of amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration for (i) screening, (ii)enrichment, and (iii) tracking response to treatment in clinical trials of Alzheimer’sdisease.Methods: Longitudinal, participant-level data used in these studies was drawn fromthe Swedish BioFINDER study and the ADNI study. Participants were classi

Understanding, mapping and reporting of climate-related risks among listed firms in Sweden

We study the mapping and reporting of climate-related risks among firms listed on the NasdaqOMX stock exchange in Stockholm in four goods producing industries. Our study contains two parts: i) a study of the firms’ external communication through their annual reports, sustainability reports and webpages, and ii) a follow-up survey to the top management team.

Divorce in the family: transmission of divorce across three generations

It is well-documented that there is an intergenerational transmission of divorce from parents to their children. This paper investigates how this transmission is affected by grandparents’ divorce. Using individual-level longitudinal data on marriages and divorces in Sweden, 1905–2015, I show grandparents’ divorce matters for their grandchildren’s divorce risks, even when parents remain married. Mo

Can a technology turn (also) into a symbol? The 3D printers case

The 3D printing industry has been recently affected by two events: the fact that open source (OS) business models are getting momentum, and the widespread diffusion of the Maker Movement. We argue that 3D printers can be conceptualised as innovations which embody both technological and symbolic aspects. If innovations of the first type are solely adopted for their technical utility, innovations wh

Word prominence ratings in Swedish television news readings : Effects of pitch accents and head movements

Prosodic prominence is a multimodal phenomenon where pitch accents are frequently aligned with visible movements by the hands, head, or eyebrows. However, little is known about how such movements function as visible prominence cues in multimodal speech perception with most previous studies being restricted to experimental settings. In this study, we are piloting the acquisition of multimodal promi
