This essay reflects on issues surrounding the remembrance and teaching of the Holocaust. It was commissioned by the project Living History and the Swedish Prime Minister's Office.

I detta kapitel beskrivs hur man vid Lunds tekniska högskola organiserar kursvärderingar som en del i ett övergripande arbete med rapporterande utvärdering av kurser. Syftet är att bidra med förståelse för hur olika konkreta problem förknippade med genomförandet av ett system för kursvärdering och utvärdering angripits på Lunds tekniska högskola. kapitlet visar också på hur Lunds tekniska högskola

Organized human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination was introduced in Sweden in 2012. On-demand vaccination was in effect from 2006 to 2011. We followed the HPV prevalences in Southern Sweden from 2008 to 2013.

We consider thermal fluid structure interaction with a partitioned approach, where typically, a finite volume and a finite element code would be coupled. As a model problem, we consider two coupled Poisson problems with heat conductivities $$\lambda _1$$, $$\lambda _2$$ in one dimension on intervals of length $$l:1$$ and $$l:2$$. Hereby, we consider linear discretizations on arbitrary meshes, such

Present debates suppose a close linkage between economic, social, and environmental sustainability and suggest that individual wellbeing and living standards need to be understood as directly linked to environmental concerns. Because social movements are often seen as an avant-garde in pushing for change, this article analyzes climate protesters' support for three key frames in current periods of

Background: Psychosocial resources as well as lifestyle habits during pregnancy have been shown to effect the risk of having a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) child. Most previous studies are based on a single assessment of these exposures, which does not take into account the possibility of different effects during early add late stages of pregnancy. Methods: The impact of psychosocial and lifest

A machine-learning and a string-matching approach to automated subject classification of text were compared, as to their performance, advantages and downsides. The former approach was based on an SVM algorithm, while the latter comprised string-matching between a controlled vocabulary and words in the text to be classified. Data collection consisted of a subset from Compendex, classified into six

Physicochemical properties of solutions of charged colloids are often dominated by the electrostatic interactions present in such systems. A full determination of these properties constitutes a highly nontrivial many-body problem involving long-range interactions. In electrostatically strongly coupled systems, it is essential to explicitly include both the charged colloids and the small ions in th

Attention Restoration Theory point to nature as a particularly good candidate for restoring the ability to focus and inhibit distractions. However, little effort has been directed to elaborating on what makes nature's visual pattern unique for restoration purposes. One suggested explanation is the fractal properties of natural patterns (Hagerhall, 2005). Both perception studies (Hagerhall et al.,

Purpose - The dimple is adopted into a double wall cooling structure which is widely used in hot gas components to increase the heat transfer effects with relatively low pressure drop penalty. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of dimple depth and dimple diameter on the target surface heat transfer and the inlet to outlet friction factor. Design/methodology/approach - The study is ca

Integrins are ubiquitous transmembrane receptors that play crucial roles in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In this study, we have determined the effects of the loss of beta1 integrins in keratinocytes in vitro and during cutaneous wound repair. Flow cytometry of cultured beta1-deficient keratinocytes confirmed the absence of beta1 integrins and showed downregulation of alpha6beta4 but not

The Euro50 is an astronomical extremely large telescope for optical and infrared wavelength with a 50 m primary mirror. The telescope will have an elaborate control system ("live optics") to correct for atmospheric and telescope aberrations. To study and predict performance of the complete telescope system, an integrated model combining the structural model of the telescope, optics models, the con

In this study, we sought evidence for alpha-synuclein (ASYN) expression in oligodendrocytes, as a possible endogenous source of ASYN to explain its presence in glial inclusions found in multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD). We identified ASYN in oligodendrocyte lineage progenitors isolated from the rodent brain, in oligodendrocytes generated from embryonic stem cells, and in
