This project aims to develop incretin therapy as a glucose-reducing strategy in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Its particular focus is to understand the mechanisms of incretin therapy and to optimize its clinical positioning. This mission is achieved by an interdisciplinary approach with complementary studies in subjects with T2D, healthy volunteers and experimental animals.

This chapter explores the processes of a typical logistics network for the management of reusable packaging for food products. While the impacts associated with packaging waste in the food sector are well known, the adoption of reusable crates or handling systems for food items entails many logistics processes such as storage, transportation, and cleaning, whose impact needs to be quantified and a

Administrativa avdelningen ger stöd till avdelningarna inom LU Service gällande ekonomi, personal och andra administrativa rutiner. Enheten har även ansvar för universitetsbutiken, driften av LU parkeringsplatser, provsamordning för samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten samt receptionen på Campus i Helsingborg.The administrative department provides support to the departments within LU Service regarding finances, personnel and other administrative routines. The unit is also responsible for the university shop, the operation of LU parking lots, test coordination for the Faculty of Social Sciences and the reception on the Campus in Helsingborg

Although renovation costs can lead to rent increases in energy retrofitting, it is often assumed that reductions in energy costs will counterbalance the rent increase. In Swedish multifamily housing, energy costs for heating are however generally included as a fixed component in the monthly rent, meaning that the rent increase after energy retrofitting corresponds to the net change in rent level a

Presentation at panel on Nordic Trust, International Anti-corruption Conference, Copenhagen. This paper argues that trust and control should not be seen as opposites, and that formulating a theory of Nordic corruption (which is based on networks and cronyism rather than bribery) a better approach is a hybrid concept of 'trusted control' or 'controlled trust'

To combat climate change, it is anticipated that in the coming years countries around the world will adopt more stringent policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the use of clean energy sources. These policies will also affect the industry sector, which means that industrial production is likely to progressively shift from CO2-emitting fossil fuel sources to renewable energy sourc

Traumatisk hjärnskada (THS) är en vanlig orsak till död och kvarstående handikapp och idag saknas effektiva behandlingar. Vår forskargrupp använder experimentella och kliniska tekniker att studera THS, från de allra svåraste skadorna till de mer milda skadorna som kan ses exempelvis efter hjärnskakning inom idrotten. Hjärnans egen förmåga till läkning är begränsad efter THS och ett viktig mål för Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of death and disabilities and current treatment options are limited. The research group uses experimental and clinical approaches to study TBI, from the most severe brain injuries to the milder sport-related concussions. The brain´s own capacity for repair is poor and one research aim is to enhance brain recovery and repair following injury. TBI is al

The stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is greatly affected by the interface between the perovskite active layer and the hole transport material (HTM). The rational design of HTMs with effective anchoring to the perovskite surface is an emerging elegant strategy to promote compact and ordered interfaces that lead to highly efficient and stable PSCs. Herein, we propose two fluorene-based HTM

Pedagogiskt stöd erbjuder studenter med funktionsnedsättning vid Lunds universitet pedagogiska stödåtgärder. Vi arbetar, tillsammans med olika institutioner och berörda instanser, för att studenter med funktionsnedsättning ska ha samma rätt som övriga studenter till undervisning och en bra studiemiljö. Mer information för studenter: www.lu.se/pedagogisktstod. Mer information för medarbetare: wwDisability Support Services offer learning support to students with functional impairment at Lund University. We work alongside various departments and relevant organisations to ensure that students with functional impairments enjoy the same right to teaching and a good study environment as other students.

Vårt mål är att öka kunskapen om demens- och minnessjukdomar - alltifrån uppkomst till behandling. Forskningen omfattar ett flertal diagnoser, bland annat Alzheimers sjukdom, Lewy Body demens och Parkinsons sjukdom. Markörer och tidig upptäckt av Alzheimer, genom bland annat ryggvätskeprov, är ett styrkeområde där vi uppnått resultat som omsatts i daglig, klinisk användning. Genom innovativ använWe embrace the big picture of dementia and memory diseases. This includes the course from origin and early detection to treatment. The scope includes a wide range of diagnoses, among these Alzheimer’s Disease, Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. Early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease, by using new markers, is one of our most promising fields. Spinal fluid test concepts, developed by us, ar

Mjukdelssarkom utgör en heterogen grupp av ovanliga tumörer och innefattar ett 50-tal olika subtyper med varierande klinisk bild och prognos. Två tredjedelar är höggradigt maligna tumörer och en tredjedel av patienterna avlider i tumörsjukdom. I Södra sjukvårdsregion är vården av patienter med sarkom centraliserad till SUS/Lund. Sarkomgruppen i Lund utreder och behandlar patienter med sarkom och Soft tissue sarcomas constitute a heterogeneous group of rare tumours with some 50 histopathologic types with different clinical characteristics and prognosis. Two thirds are highly malignant tumours and one third of the patients die due to metastatic disease. The care of sarcoma patients in the Southern Swedish health care region is centralised to the Lund Sarcoma Centre. We have a large data ba
