Trauma to a peripheral nerve trunk is a complex injury because it involves not only repair processes locally at the peripheral level, but it also engages repair and compensation mechanisms at central levels. The main actor is the fascinating and unique neuron with its supporting cells, which consist mainly of Schwann cells. In the neuron and in the Schwann cells, intracellular signaling mechanisms
A new beam blanking system was installed at the Lund Nuclear Microprobe and employed in proton beam lithography (PBL) for polymer microstructures fabrication. The blanker consists of two parallel plates connected to a high voltage generator. Measurement of the beam blanking time on a sample was performed by means of the standard PIXE system. The beam is blanked and returns to a sample within 200 n
Recently, epidemiological evidence has suggested that hypopituitarism with untreated growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular mortality and that women are particularly at risk. In the present study, the incidence of cardiovascular disease and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in 33 such women was assessed and compared with matched controls. A si
Internationalization has become one of the main strategic goals of universities as part of their endeavors to prepare students for careers in a globalized world. However, the establishment of English-medium instruction (EMI) has raised concerns about the quality of teaching and learning, given that most stakeholders involved in the process are second language (L2) speakers of English. Therefore, a
Phosphoproteomics relies on methods for efficient purification and sequencing of phosphopeptides from highly complex biological systems, especially when using low amounts of starting material. Current methods for phosphopeptide enrichment, e.g., Immobilized Metal ion Affinity Chromatography and titanium dioxide chromatography provide varying degrees of selectivity and specificity for phosphopeptid
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, millions of displaced Ukrainians fled to EU Member States. The activation of the TPD allowed Ukrainians to enter the labor market immediately. This thesis addresses the barriers to labor integration faced by Ukrainian refugees with temporary protection in Malmö. Based on previous literature, Ukrainian refugees were expected to face labor integration barri
This study attempts to unravel the stock market participation puzzle. It approaches the puzzle with the idea that access to information reduces entry costs and, hence, encourages stock market participation. The literature suggests that information dissemination occurs through social interaction. Therefore, higher social engagement increases the odds of stock market participation. This study questi
För att utvärdera en relativt ny typ av filterbottensystem som finns installerat i ett flertal vattenverk i Sverige så gjordes en bedömning av samspelet mellan ett snabbfilters prestanda och dess filterbottensystem. Målet var att bedöma filterbottensystemets påverkan på kvaliteten av det filtrerade vattnet och på energikonsumtionen under backspolningsprocessen och att använda denna information för
In this thesis we study the feasibility of applying extreme value theory to data regarding road safety. In particular, we propose a model for assessing the risk of collision and near collision using extreme value theory. The thesis is relevant for road safety analysis in order to both understand whether extreme value theory is useful for modelling the collected data and to check if there is a need
Examensarbetets syfte är att undersöka användandet av didaktiska metoder för att påverka gruppdynamik i undervisning i högstadiet inom matematik respektive musik. Frågeställningarna handlar om vilka sådana metoder som används och hur erfarenheten skiljer sig mellan lärare inom de två olika skolämnena. Två matematiklärare och två musiklärare har intervjuats – individuellt. Datan har bearbetats enliThe aim of this student paper to examine the uses of didactical methods to affect group dynamics in upper compulsory school in Sweden in education within mathematics and music respectively. The questions concern which such methods are used and how the experience varies between teachers in the two different subjects. Two mathematics teachers and two music teachers have been interviewed – individual
Parallellt med det svenska energisystemets elektrifiering så sker även en snabb utveckling av AI-verktyg. Dessa redskap medför helt nya möjligheter att ta olika former av datadrivna beslut vilket kan revolutionera delar av energisektorn. Samtidigt så är de inte helt oproblematiska, utan deras effekter måste analyseras grundligt för att de ska kunna leva upp till sin potential, samtidigt som effektThe Swedish energy system is currently in a transition, aiming for carbon neutrality. At the same time, AI technology is developing in a fast manner. These tools come with entirely new possibilities to make data driven decisions, which can revolutionize parts of the energy sector. At the same time, they come with their own challenges. Therefore, their effects must be thoroughly examined if they ar
There is a general consensus that children and adolescents should ideally travel to school actively and independently. Yet, in many parts of the world, real and perceived traffic risks represent a major barrier to walking, cycling, or the use of scooters. As the perspectives of children and adolescents on perceived dangers are insufficiently understood, this quantitative-qualitative study compares
The aim of this study was to examine mental health among students at Lunds university and investigate the possible correlation between sense of coherence (SOC) and mental health in students. Web survey was the method used to gather data, the survey was sent out to a random selection of 880 students at Lund university.The final total sample size was 171 students. The web survey used Aaron Antonovsk
