There is compelling evidence to suggest that estrogen administration to women of climacteric age reduces subsequent myocardial infarction by some 50%. Accumulating data also suggests estrogens confer substantial protection from stroke. Given this rationale, it is prudent to suggest to regulatory bodies that estrogen treatment would have this indication. Estrogens have other well-defined, and less

The glymphatic system is a highly polarized cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transport system that facilitates the clearance of neurotoxic molecules through a brain-wide network of perivascular pathways. Herein we have mapped the development of the glymphatic system in mice. Perivascular CSF transport first emerges in hippocampus in newborn mice,

Aortoenteric fistula formation is a devastating condition regardless of whether it is primary or secondary (i.e. after previous aneurysm repair) in nature. Patients present with signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding with or without signs of systemic infection and are often in a very poor clinical condition. Conventional treatment consists of extensive open surgery (extra-anatomical bypas

Abstract: The FIFA World Cup, together with the Summer Olympic Games, are the two events classified as sports mega-events (SMEs), characterized by their global outreach and different types of costs. Within the SME realm, a paradoxical trend can be seen; they show stronger sustainability agendas, yet generate higher social, economic, and environmental costs. The overarching question is their legaci

Within the circular economy, alternatives to fast-fashion include second-hand clothing consumption. The narratives surrounding second-hand clothing have shifted from the stigma of old, dirty, smelly clothing to trendy, sustainable, and bargain items. The environmental benefits of second-hand are realised through the increased use-intensity and avoided production of new garments. However, these ben

Certain oxygenated compounds, called oxygenates, when blended with gasoline, have the ability to inhibit the occurrence of engine knock, thus helping improve spark-ignition engine efficiency. Similarly, oxygenates can also be added to diesel fuel to decrease the exhaust emissions—soot in particular—from diesel engines. Although ethanol and biodiesel have had widespread use as oxygenates for gasoli

Medicinen är ett kunskapsfält med humanistisk förankring. Vid Enheten för medicinens historia är målet att nå ökad förståelse för hur den medicinska vetenskapen tagit form över tid och fördjupad insikt kring det sociala sammanhang medicinen verkar i. Genom sin tillhörighet i ämnesområdet Medicinsk humaniora gränsar verksamheten till flera andra akademiska discipliner, såsom idé- och lärdomshistori

Using a new dataset on fossil fuel funding, this paper examines bank responses to Germany’s 2020 coal phase-out decision. German banks reduced fossil fuel financing relative to other banks but not coal funding. Globally, banks increased underwriting for coal companies relative to other fossil fuel firms. Firms with entirely coal-based post-sample power production received more funding, indicating

The predicament in which we find ourselves today is that many professionals lack a sufficient grounding in formal methods, tools and techniques to enable them to make an appropriate selection for different kinds of problem. This can mean that complexity remains unrecognized and ambiguous problem situations are addressed as if they were clear and straightforward, resulting in inadequate solutions t

I teoretisk filosofi studerar man gränserna och principerna för mänsklig kunskap; grunderna för den vetenskapliga kunskapen; de logiska och semantiska principerna för tänkande, argumentation och kommunikation, samt det egna ämnets historia. Forskningen i Lund ligger huvudsakligen inom kunskapsteori, vetenskapsteori, beslutsteori, språkfilosofi, logik samt filosofins historia.

Avdelningen för matematisk fysik är gemensam för naturvetenskaplig och tekniska (LTH) fakulteterna och är en del av fysiska institutionen. Forskningen bedrivs främst inom området kvantmekanisk mångpartikelfysik, vilket innefattar teoretisk kärnstrukturfysik, nanometerfysik, tidsberoende och icke-jämviktsfenomen, kvantinformation, atom-teori och materialmodellering, med flera samarbeten både internMathematical Physics is a common division between the Natural Science and Engineering (LTH) faculties and is part of the Department of Physics. Research is conducted primarily in the field of quantum mechanical many particle physics, which includes theoretical nuclear structure physics, nanometer physics, time-dependent and non-equilibrium phenomena, quantum information, atomic theory and material
