With the risk of climate breakdown, pressure is increasing for all sectors of the economy to break with fossil fuel dependence and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, the chemical industry requires more focused attention as it uses more fossil-fuel based energy than any other industry and the production of chemicals is associated with very large emissions. Beyond the climate crisis,

Despite the glimmer of hope provided by the discovery and commercialization of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) as a bone graft substitute, side effects related to the use of supraphysiological doses have hindered its clinical usage. In this study, we compared the osteoinductive potential of BMP-2 homodimer with a heterodimer of BMP-2/7, both delivered via a collagen-hydroxyapatite (CHA) scaff

We are on a hunt for the invisible in this second episode of the third season of The Meridian. Ruth Pöttgen is a senior lecturer at the Department of Physics where she is studying fundamental particles. She is especially interested in finding that mysterious and elusive Dark Matter particle.In this third season we are also including some Cosmic Curiosities. These are some ideas, events or trivia f

The case presents Sardex, a local complementary currency in the Mediterranean island of Sardinia designed to alleviate the economic hardships brought by the economic crisis of 2008.The reader gets an insight into the economic contexts of these currencies, the functioning of one of its most common designs (mutual credit systems or LETS), as well as the work of embedding these local currencies into

Judith Korth joins the podcast this week and tell us about how she found her way into astronomy research, how she ended up here at Lund University and how she now studies distant worlds far beyond our own Solar System.In this third season we are also including some Cosmic Curiosities. These are some ideas, events or trivia from astronomic history that Ross, Victor and Lucian feel are worth bringin

Astronomers, such as Nic and Rebecca, are not the only ones orienting themselves using the stars. Animals, big and small, also navigate by starlight. In this last episode of the third season we invited Prof. Marie Dacke from the Department of Biology over to tell us about her research on the subject.In this third season we are also including some Cosmic Curiosities. These are some ideas, events or

Joining Nic and Rebecca in this first episode of the third season of The Meridian is none other than NASA astronaut Jim Pawelczyk, professor at Penn State University in Kinesiology and Physiology, who looks into how the human body adapts when in space.In this third season we are also including some Cosmic Curiosities. These are some ideas, events or trivia from astronomic history that Ross, Victor

We investigate the classicality of linear dipolar droplet arrays through a normal mode analysis of the dynamical properties in comparison to the supersolid regime. The vibrational patterns of isolated-droplet crystals that time-evolve after a small initial kick closely follow the properties of a linear droplet chain. For larger kick velocities, however, droplets may coalesce and separate again, sh

Den här antologin innehåller tolv examensarbeten skrivna av tretton folkhögskollärare examinerade från Linköpings universitet våren 2021. På Linköpings universitet erbjuds en lärarutbildning specifikt för folkhögskolan. Studenterna kombinerar teoretiska studier med praktik ute i verkligheten, och deras examensarbete syftar till att skapa eller analysera didaktiska innovationer för folkhögskolorna.

Urbanization is not only a concentration of humans in city areas but also, the consumption and production activities that are comprised in urban space. In this sense, goods and services are developed through the urban economic actors, through labor, economic diversity, and prosperity. This article reviews the relationship between urban economics and tradesmen & craftsmen (TC). The focus is on

Migration has a global impact, but it also intersects with local and nationalissues. In 2020, 281 million people lived outside their country of birth or citizenship, according to the United Nations Global Migration Database. The number of persons displaced across international borders is increasing due to conflict, persecution, and violence. Most of the world’s refugees and asylum seekers live in

It is one of the most basic requirements of today for sustainable social and economic development that individuals have the knowledge, skills and competencies appropriate to the requirements of the age. Vocational education and training (VET) is an important role that determine social and economic development levels of countries as well as urban growth. In general, vocational education is consider

Bread is the main food source that cuts horizontally across historical, social, cultural and economic areas. Bread is produced and consumed in the context of economic, political and social relations throughout human history. The factors affecting the production of bread are discussed. The political economy of the public bread practice, which is produced and distributed by the municipalities, is st

The pandemic process, which has affected the whole world, has deeply affected social, economic, and political structures, institutions, and human relations at the international and local scale. While central governments made various decisions at the national level to manage the pandemic process and protect public health, various policy and implementation tools were implemented by municipalities at

A substantial proportion of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) are subjected to heart valve surgery. Microbiological findings on valves are important both for diagnostics and for tailored antibiotic therapy, post-operatively. The aims of this study were to describe microbiological findings on surgically removed valves and to examine the diagnostic benefits of 16S-rDNA PCR and sequencing (16
