EPI@LUND söker svar på angelägna samhällsfrågor genom att kombinera modern epidemiologisk metodik med detaljerade befolkningsdata på individnivå, eller med genetisk/epigenetisk data i kombination med bioinformatiska analyser. Forskning inom tillämpad kausal inferens, exempelvis kring hur registeruppgifter kan användas för att korrigera för selektionsbias i befolkningsbaserade kohortstudier, är ockEPI@LUND seeks answers to urgent social issues by combining modern epidemiological methodology with detailed population data at the individual level, or with genetic/epigenetic data in combination with bioinformatic analyzes. Research in applied causal inference, for example on how registry data can be used to correct for selection bias in population-based cohort studies, is also a central theme f

Profilområdet utvecklar tvärvetenskapliga och gränsöverskridande hälsofrämjande strategier och metoder för proaktivt åldrande. Området fokuserar särskilt på kognitiv och muskuloskeletal hälsa som förutsättningar för aktivitet och delaktighet. Profilområdet ska utveckla metoder för att tidigt identifiera individer och grupper i riskzonen för ohälsa eller annan utsatthet med hjälp av ekonomiska, socThe profile area develops transdisciplinary health promotive strategies for proactive ageing. It focuses particularly on cognitive functions and musculoskeletal health as prerequisites for activity and participation. The profile area will develop methods for early identification of individuals and groups at risk of poor health or other vulnerabilities, using economic, social as well as biological

The laboratory consists of a XenX x-ray irradiator (XStrahl) for experimental radiobiology, with supporting equipment for cell culture applications, such as laminar flow cabinets, CO2 incubators, and a hypoxia workstation. The XenX unit is designed as a radiotherapy machine in miniature. It consists of a 225 kV x-ray source, mounted on a rotatable gantry allowing irradiation of specimens from all The laboratory consists of a XenX x-ray irradiator (XStrahl) for experimental radiobiology, with supporting equipment for cell culture applications, such as laminar flow cabinets, CO2 incubators, and a hypoxia workstation.

Forskare inom profilområdet fokuserar på ekosystembaserade sätt att hantera förlust av biologisk mångfald och klimatförändringar, och hur de sammanflätade kriserna kan kopplas till hållbar samhällsutveckling.

För att de naturbaserade lösningarna ska kunna accepteras och implementeras och leda till sociala och politiska förändringar krävs också perspektiv som kan identifiera synergier, rättvisThe profile area focuses on ecosystem-based approaches to handle biodiversity loss and climate change, and how the intertwined crises can be linked to sustainable societal development.

For nature-based solutions to be accepted and adopted – leading to social and political change – they need perspectives that can identify synergies, address equity issues, and consider historical and contempora

Målgruppen för vår forskning är vuxna med begränsningar i delaktighet och vardagsliv på grund av sjukdom, skada eller ålder. Forskningen baseras på teorier och modeller hämtade bland annat ur arbetsterapi och aktivitetsvetenskap, gerontologi, rehabilitering, hälsoekonomi, utvärdering och implementeringsforskning. Forskargruppen är knuten till Centre for Ageing and Supportive Environments, CAThe target group of our research is adults with limitations in participation and everyday life due to illness, injury or age. Our research is based on theories and models derived mainly within occupational therapy and occupational science, gerontology, rehabilitation, health economics, evaluation and implementation research. The research group is linked to the Centre for Ageing and Supportive

Att ge anhöriga en behörighet att företräda en familjemedlem direkt med stöd av lag är nytt både i Sverige och Norge. Reglerna infördes i Norge 1 juli 2013 och i Sverige 1 juli 2017. Innebörden av de nya reglerna är att en anhörig får hjälpa en familjemedlem att sköta ekonomiska angelägenheter kopplat till den dagliga livsföringen när familjemedlemmen på grund av sitt hälsotillstånd inte kan göra To give a relative a competence to represent a member of the family directly with legal authority is new in both Sweden and Norway. The rules came into effect 1 July 2013 in Norway and 1 July 2017 in Sweden. The effect of the new rules is that a relative can help a member of the family manage financial affairs which concerns the daily living when the family member is unable to do so due to health

This essay examines the discourse in the Swedish government’s policy on a national begging ban. It focuses on the state, juridical and political discourse around begging and people who beg, and how people who are referred to as “Vulnerable EU citizens” who come to Sweden to beg are constructed. People who are referred to as “Vulnerable EU citizens” most often belong to the Roma population. Therefo

In spite of the importance of legumes in Latin American diets, nutritional features of carbohydrates in these seeds are scarcely known. The purpose of this study was to assess the in vitro digestibility of starch in cooked powdered black beans, a common type of product in Mexico and Central America. The properties of a commercial product were compared to those of an experimental material obtained

The poison dart frogs Oophaga granulifera and Oophaga pumilio are distributed in Nicaragua (only O. pumilio), Costa Rica and Panama. The ecology and behavior of both species has attracted scientifc attention for several reasons. These frogs exhibit toxicity in combination with bright coloration and diversification into different color morphs. Moreover, they display highly aggressive and territoria

The tensions between tendencies to support and reject that can be observed in reception measures for newly-arrived students in Sweden are a consequence both of the general climate of hostility towards immigration in Europe, and features particular to Sweden. The paper summarises the historical background to the present situation, from the 1960s onwards, and points to some of the impacts for teache
