Thermodynamics connects our knowledge of the world to our capability to manipulate and thus to control it. This crucial role of control is exemplified by the third law of thermodynamics, Nernst's unattainability principle, which states that infinite resources are required to cool a system to absolute zero temperature. But what are these resources and how should they be utilized And how does this r
Background: The diagnostic accuracy of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) depends on a well-cleansed bowel. Evaluating the cleansing quality can be difficult with a substantial interobserver variation. Objectives: Our primary aim was to establish a standard of agreement for bowel cleansing in CCE based on evaluations by expert readers. Then, we aimed to investigate the interobserver agreement on bowel
This qualitative theological study seeks to shed light on pentecostal theology and spirituality through an investigation of worship as it is practiced in two urban pentecostal-charismatic churches in Nairobi, Kenya. The empirical data serve as a springboard for theological construction and interpretation from a pentecostal perspective. In contemporary charismatic liturgy, the first section of the
Schizophrenia is a complex disorder with clinical manifestations in early adulthood. However, it may start with disruption of brain development caused by genetic or environmental factors, or both. Early deteriorating effects of genetic/environmental factors on neural development might be key to described disease causing mechanisms. Establishing cellular models with cells from affected individual u
Vid Kärlsektionen, Verksamhetsområde Thorax-Kärl, bedriver kärlkirurger, kärlmedicinare (angiologer), radiologer och sjuksköterskor både kvantitativ och kvalitativ, tvärprofessionell och experimentell forskning med fokus främst på sjukdomar i aorta, mesenterial-, karotis- och benartärer samt venös tromboembolism. Integrationen av kärlkirurger och kärlmedicinare ger sektionen en ledande position iAt Vascular Centre, Department of Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, vascular surgeons, vascular physicians, radiologists and nurses are committed to quantitative and qualitative, multidisciplinary and experimental research with focus on diseases of the aorta, mesenteric, carotid and lower limb arteries, and venous thromboembolism. The integration of vascular surgeons and vascular physicians g
Lunds universitets Historiska museum är en del av Lunds universitets kultur- och museiverksamheter LUKOM. Historiska museet har idag tre uppgifter, att medverka i forskning och grundutbildning, att ta om hand om arkeologiskt material samt att hålla samlingarna öppna och förmedla forskning till allmänheten. Lunds universitets Historiska museum ansvarar för omhändertagandet av arkeologiska fynd fr

1. We measured the abundance and biomass of filter-feeding microcrustacean zooplankton and calculated their grazing impact on phytoplankton biomass during summer in five shallow, mesotrophic to eutrophic lakes. For three of the lakes data exist both from years with dense submerged vegetation and low turbidity (the clearwater state), as well as from years characterised by sparse vegetation and high
Injectable Bioresorbable Organic Bioelectronics Neuropharmacology—our ambition is to supplement classical biochemical signaling with the modulation of bioelectricity using both ionic and electronic processes. We focus on organic electronics that self-assemble directly inside or near the nervous system to form electronic circuits that mimic its structure and organization, enabling seamless integrat
In this thesis I examine the metapolitics of the French far right, a sphere of organisations and personalities that are waging a counter-hegemonic cultural fight, thought to be a precondition to political change. In France, singularly an incubator for a green nationalist narrative, this “Gramscianism of the right” is today embodied by countless media outlets. This research, grounded in a socio-con
Digitaliseringen har ändrat samhället på många sätt. Idag delar människor med sig av all sorts information om sig själva och andra under nästan alla timmar på dygnet. Människor har anpassat sig till ett samhälle där de känner sig manade att hela tiden vara uppkopplade och representerade på internet. På senare tid har dock människor börjat inse att spridandet av information på internet kan ge oanadDigitalization has changed society in many ways. One of the results of the development of the online world is that people have formed the habit of sharing all sorts of information about themselves and others to everyone around them at all times. People have adapted to a society where they feel a compulsion to be repeatedly connected and represented on digital networks. However, individuals have st
The aim was to explore health in relation to the home as experienced by very old, single-living Swedish people. Applying a grounded theory approach, 40 men and women aged 80-89 were interviewed in their own homes. Data analysis revealed the main theme, "The home is the hub of health", comprising two categories, "The home as support for health", and "Having an inner driving force to maintain health
As capitalist society remains incapable of addressing climate breakdown, one measure is waiting in the wings: solar geoengineering. No other technology can cut global temperatures immediately. It would alleviate the symptoms of the crisis, not its causes. But might it be combined with radical emissions cuts? This essay, the first instalment of two, scrutinises the rationalist-optimist case for geo
