A high standard of planetary protection is important for astrobiology, though the risk for contamination can never be zero. It is therefore important to find a balance. If extraterrestrial life has a moral standing in its own right, it will also affect what we have to do to protect it. The questions of how far we need to go to protect extraterrestrial life will be even more acute and complicated w
The maximum work rate of animals has recently been suggested to be determined by the rate at which excess metabolic heat generated during work can be dissipated (heat dissipation limitation (HDL) theory). As a first step towards testing this theory in wild animals, we experimentally manipulated brood size in breeding marsh tits (Poecile palustris) to change their work rate.

Aim: To assess the prevalence of neurodevelopmental problems in adolescents with severe obesity and their associations with binge eating and depression. Methods: Data were collected at inclusion in a randomised study of bariatric surgery in 48 adolescents (73% girls; mean age 15.7 ± 1.0 years; mean body mass index 42.6 ± 5.2 kg/m2). Parents completed questionnaires assessing their adolescents’ sym
A comprehensive, three-dimensional model of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell based on a steady state code has been developed. The model is validated and further be applied to investigate the effects of various porosity of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) below channel land areas, on thermal diffusivity, temperature distribution, oxygen diffusion coefficient, oxygen concentration, activation
This study explores how academic scientists engage as experts in public debates characterised by scientific uncertainty and societal urgency, focusing on rhetorical positioning and communicative intentions.

We investigate public managers’ perceptions about the characteristics of global budgets and the association with perceived autonomy, using a qualitative, experiential approach. We compare and contrast differences in managers perceived autonomy associated with the use of global budgets in two large public healthcare organizations, while considering both the characteristics of other control practiceWe investigate public managers' perceptions about the characteristics of global budgets and the association with perceived autonomy, using a qualitative, experiential approach.

We investigated specific anion binding to basic amino acid residues as well as to a range of patchy protein models. This microscopic information was subsequently used to probe protein–protein interactions for aqueous lysozyme solutions. Using computer simulations to study both atomistic and coarse grained protein molecules, it is shown that the ion–protein interaction mechanism as well as magnitud
The increasing use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in construction has encouraged research on moisture, fire, acoustics, and energy performance. These areas are crucial for CLT buildings’ functionality and durability and are typically addressed together during design. This study reviewed current knowledge, identifies gaps and explores synergies and conflicts among these areas, while briefly addres
In 2022, the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA) adopted resolution 5/14, giving mandate to UN Member States to start negotiations toward an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution. This report delves into the pre-session submissions by states and coalitions for the second (INC-2) and third (INC-3) rounds of negotiations, held in 2023. Once the contents of the docume
In conventional cell lysate protocols, cell debris is typically discarded to obtain a cleaner lysate. However, this approach has limitations, as it may overlook vital cellular components. By discarding cell debris, researchers may inadvertently exclude crucial elements. Retaining all cellular components offers several advantages for studying molecular biology within various cellular compartments.
Forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services, and ecosystem models can be applied to assess the contribution of different forest management strategies to climate mitigation and adaptation. Complex model output and trade-offs between environmental, economic, and social sustainability dimensions are difficult to convey. To facilitate stakeholder communication, we developed composite indicators
Formants (vocal tract resonances) are increasingly analyzed not only by phoneticians in speech but also by behavioral scientists studying diverse phenomena such as acoustic size exaggeration and articulatory abilities of non-human animals. This often involves estimating vocal tract length acoustically and producing scale-invariant representations of formant patterns. We present a theoretical frame
The Parkinson's disease (PD) home diary is frequently used in clinical trials to measure efficacy of medical treatments for motor fluctuations in advanced PD. This prospective study in fluctuating PD patients examines the validity of the diary for quantification of motor states in comparison to direct clinical observation. 51 patients (median age: 65 years, disease duration: 11 years) completed th
There is currently a shift in the healthcare sector moving towards remote monitoring, meaning that monitoring of diseases and other issues is moving out of hospitals and into people's homes with the use of medical technology. One of the fastest-growing at-home monitoring solutions is the ECG device, especially due to the fact that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwid
Masterstudenten Edwina delar med sig av sina erfarenheter som student i Lund, vad som fick henne att ansöka till masterprogrammet, flytten till Lund, hur en typisk studievecka ser ut, vad hon tycker om sina studier och vilka planer hon har för framtiden.Master's student Edwina shares her experiences as a student in Lund: what made her apply for the master's programme, moving to Lund, what a typical study week looks like, what she thinks about her studies, and her plans for the future.
TEDDY studien har kartlagt vilken autoantikropp som utvecklas först av IAA, GADA eller IA-2A. Det var vanligast att barnet fick antingen IAA (42%) eller GADA (42%) som första autoantikropp. Övriga barn kunde ha IA-2A som första autoantikropp eller någon av de tre autoantikropparna i olika kombinationer.Två eller flera autoantikroppar ökar risken att barnet får diabetes.
