Forskningsområdet studerar organiseringen av välfärdspraktiker och de aktörer som verkar där, som professionella, men också som klienter, brukare, volontärer, besökare och liknande. Fokus ligger på det sociala arbetet och dess organisationer. Forskningen bygger därmed vidare på en tradition vid Socialhögskolan i Lund att kritiskt granska institutioner och institutionalisering. Området studerar ockThe research area studies the organization of welfare practitioners and the actors who work there, as professionals, but also as clients, users, volunteers and visitors, with focus on social work and its organizations. The research is thus based on a tradition at the Lund University to critically examine institutions and institutionalization. The area also studies professions, professionalization,

Glucagon receptor (Gcgr) signaling maintains hepatic glucose production during the fasting state; however, the importance of the Gcgr for lipid metabolism is unclear. We show here that fasted Gcgr-/- mice exhibit a significant increase in hepatic triglyceride secretion and fasting increases fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in wild-type (WT) but not in Gcgr-/- mice. Moreover fasting upregulated the expre

In the coming renewables-based energy transition, global electricity consumption is expected to double by 2050, entailing widespread end-use electrification, with significant impacts on energy efficiency. We develop a long-run, worldwide societal exergy analysis focused on electricity. Our 1900–2017 electricity world database contains the energy carriers used in electricity production, final end-u

Det finns lösningar för att göra samhället oberoende av fossil energi. Men för att kunna tillämpa dem behövs tvärvetenskaplig forskning och samverkan inom områden som hållbara bränslen och termisk energi, systemstudier, samt elektrifiering och energilagring – där profilområdet har spetskunskap.There are solutions for making our society independent of fossil fuels. But to be able to apply these solutions, interdisciplinary research and collaboration are needed in areas such as sustainable fuels and thermal energy, system studies, electrification, and energy storage – which are fields of excellence of the profile area.

The Official records of the Swedish Foreign Ministry and War Ministry clearly indicate that the Stockholm was fully aware of the ongoing massacres and deportations of the Armenian subjects in the Ottoman Empire in an intentional annihilation of the Armenian nation.

During amino acid starvation the Escherichia coli stringent response factor RelA recognizes deacylated tRNA in the ribosomal A-site. This interaction activates RelA-mediated synthesis of alarmone nucleotides pppGpp and ppGpp, collectively referred to as (p)ppGpp. These two alarmones are synthesized by addition of a pyrophosphate moiety to the 3 position of the abundant cellular nucleotide GTP and

Profilområdets forskning bidrar till att förbättra människans hälsa och lösa utmaningar inom sjukvården. Detta görs genom att utveckla och tillhandahålla nya verktyg för diagnostik, behandlingar och hemvårdslösningar.The profile area's research contributes to improving human health and solving challenges in healthcare by developing and providing new tools for diagnostics, treatments, and home care solutions.

Biogas is a renewable, high-quality fuel, currently produced at more than 200 locations in Sweden. The present production is some 5 PJ/year but the potential is approximately 10 times higher. Biogas can be produced from a wide range of raw materials, from organic waste to dedicated energy crops, and can be utilised for various energy services such as heat, combined heat and power or as a vehicle f

Ämnet Urban design och urbanism handlar om undervisning och forskning som rör stadsplanering och utformning av det offentliga rummet, där ämnet vill verka för en hållbar utveckling. Här ingår bland annat lärare från Masterprogram för hållbar stadsgestaltning (SUDes). Forskningen inom ämnet handlar framför allt om studier av stadsrummet och dess möjligheter. Vidare studeras frågor om social segreThe subject of Urban Design and Urbanism is concerned with teaching and research about city planning and the shaping of the public realm, with a focus on sustainable development. Members of staff from the Master's programme for Sustainable Urban Design are among those who teach on the subject. Research in the subject is primarily concerned with studies of urban spaces and their potential. Additi
