Whereas bureaucracy and vertical pyramid-like organization structures have been criticized for decades, most organizations still work as complex hybrids rather than full-fledged post-bureaucratic organizations. The hierarchical decision-structure and the accompanying top-down oriented vertical communication chain is still highly alive in conjunction with an aspiration for post-bureaucratic princip

Research in the field of socio-economic analysis of antibiotic resistance is limited and needs to be developed. Such analyzes include calculating in-creased care costs and societal costs. According to the Swedish Public Health Authority’s calculations of future costs for antibiotic resistance, the number of cases detected in Sweden with notifiable resistance types will quadruple from 15.500 cases

The Swedish government is at present investing heavily in making Sweden competitive in AI (Artificial Intelligence). As a part of that effort, Lund University has been commissioned with providing a series of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on different topics regarding AI, including several topics dealing with Humans and AI. As a comprehensive university, Lund University has an advantage in be

Med stöd av diskursanalys belyser artikeln hur en sjukhusledning, medsjukhuschef, verksamhetschefer och smittskyddsläkare, hanterar antibiotikaresistenspå sjukhus. En framträdande diskurs handlar om att påverkabeteendet hos personal och patienter för att skapa renhet och engageramedarbetarna. Fraser som ”Rena händer är viktigast.” och ”Tvätta dina händer.”ingår i diskursen. Den andra, rumsliga dis

Empirical evidences in the library and the historian’s search tools: Union catalogues, bibliographies, databases, and the omission of Melchior Hofmann’s works from the Swedish national bibliographyThe article considers the connection between historians’ interpretations of the past and the search tools (catalogues, bibliographies, and databases) they use to access empirical source material in libra

Background: Strong evidence suggests that suicide attempters who repeatsuicide (re-attempters) may differ from those with a single attempt (singleattempters) in various clinical and sociodemographic factors. Furthermore, thereis some evidence that re-attempters may be characterized by higher levels ofneuroticism, a well-known risk factor for completed suicide compared to singleattempters.Purpose:

Background and purpose - Vitamin E infused highly cross-linked polyethylene (VEPE) was introduced in order to enhance oxidative resistance in highly cross-linked polyethylene cups in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We have, with a follow-up of 5 years, evaluated wear characteristics of 2 identically designed cemented cups with the only difference being the material, VEPE or ultra-high molecular weig

The underlying molecular mechanisms in osteoarthritis (OA) development are largely unknown. This study explores the proteome and the pairwise interplay of proteins in synovial fluid from patients with late-stage knee OA (arthroplasty), early knee OA (arthroscopy due to degenerative meniscal tear) and from deceased controls without knee OA.Synovial fluid samples were analyzed using state-of-the-art

In the recent Internet-of-Things (IoT) era where biomedical applications require continuous monitoring of relevant data, edge computing keeps gaining more and more importance. These new architectures for edge computing include multi-core and parallel computing capabilities that can enable prevention diagnosis and treatment of diseases in ambulatory or home-based setups. In this article, we explore

Low-power wearable technologies offer a promising solution to pervasive epilepsy monitoring by removing the constraints concerning time and location, on one hand, and fulfilling long-term tracking, on the other hand. In the case of epileptic seizures, as the attacks infrequently occur, using an anomaly detection approach reduces the need to record long hours of data for each patient before detecti

It is well known that event-triggered and self-triggered controllers implemented on dedicated platforms can provide the same performance as the traditional periodic controllers, while consuming considerably less bandwidth. However, since the majority of controllers are implemented by software tasks on shared platforms, on one hand, it might no longer be possible to grant access to the event-trigge

I februari 2001 var det stort pådrag i AF-borgen i Lund. Det europeiska språkårets öppningskonferens invigdes och 250 EU-delegater och lika många åhörare samlades för att manifestera vikten av språklig mångfald i Europa. Alla var där, men allt var inte klang och jubel. Konferensen hade rubriken ”Språklig mångfald i Europa – en utmaning” och dagarna före invigningen publicerades en undersökning där

The text describes new methods elaborated for and used in the building archaeological assessment of a city block, studied first on site, then remotely by members of the Swedish Pompeii Project. Use of a digital platform, with collected wall observations and analysis, systematic photographic documentation of all standing structures, and 3D models, allowed discussion to proceed after the fieldwork c
