Scientists have deemed existing protected areas in European forests insufficient to halt and reverse biodiversity loss resulting from ongoing intensification of management. In Sweden, protected areas are therefore complemented with the so-called areas of high conservation value (AHCVs), that is, landscapes encompassing both protected and assumed biodiversity-valuable areas as well as surrounding l
BackgroundHealthcare system and intersectoral public health policies play a crucial role in improving population health and reducing health inequalities. This study aimed to quantify their impact, operationalized as avoidable deaths, on the gap in life expectancy (LE) and lifespan inequality (LI) between Iran and three neighbour countries viz., Turkey, Qatar, and Kuwait in 2015–2016.MethodsAnnual
Konsumtionen är en stor samtidsfråga, men trots att fler handlar allt mer medvetet är svenskarna fortfarande bland världens sämsta när det gäller överkonsumtion. Två forskare vid Lunds Universitet ser hur anti-konsumtionen växer sig allt starkare. Men kommer också näringslivet att förändras?
Group A streptococci have evolved multiple strategies to evade human antibodies, making it challenging to create effective vaccines or antibody treatments. Here, we have generated antibodies derived from the memory B cells of an individual who had successfully cleared a group A streptococcal infection. The antibodies bind with high affinity in the central region of the surface-bound M protein. Suc
BACKGROUND: Screening decreases mortality among lung cancer patients but is not widely implemented, thus there is an unmet need for an easily accessible non-invasive method to enable early diagnosis. Particles in exhaled air offer a promising such diagnostic tool. We investigated the validity of a particles in exhaled air device (PExA) to measure the particle flow rate (PFR) and collect exhaled br
I avhandlingen undersöks vilka störningar i entreprenadavtal som kan ge entreprenören rätt till tidsförlängning.Med störning avses i avhandlingen en omständighet som avviker från vad entreprenören förutsatt (antagit) senast vid avgivandet av sitt löfte (anbud) att ingå avtalet som gör att entreprenörens arbeten inte kan utföras som planerat och som orsakar tillkommande kostnader, en försening elle
After World War I, millions of men went back from the war front promised of land, work and social justice, but their expectations were unfulfilled by the governments of European countries. In this context, the political landscape was enriched of new ideas, and several new parties, movements and associations born across Europe. In Italy, ANMIG (Disabled Ex-Servicemen National Association) was found
Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex disease characterized by autoimmunity toward apoptotic cells, excessive amounts of circulating immune complexes, and complement activation. A decreased platelet size has been observed in SLE and their nonhemostatic functions may play an active role in the disease. The main objective of this study was to find clues that could explain their
Aim of the studyRates of bystander CPR are increasing, yet mortality after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high. The aim of this survey was to explore public knowledge and attitudes to CPR. Our hypotheses were that recent CPR training (< 5 years) would be associated with a high-quality response in a case vignette of OHCA with agonal breathing, and associated with an interest to becom
Purpose of review: In comatose cardiac arrest survivors, the electroencephalogram (EEG) is the most widely used test to assess the severity of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) and guide antiseizure treatment. However, a wide variety of EEG patterns are described in literature. Moreover, the value of postarrest seizure treatment is uncertain. Absent N20 waves of short-latency somatosensory-evok

In a new episode of the podcast Ceteris Never Paribus, the host Maria Bach speaks to Evelina Kallträsk, David Larsson Heidenblad, Anna Nilsson Hammar and Johan Östling, all members of the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK). They discuss what is the history of knowledge and how its approaches might be useful for historians of economics.
Migratory routes and remote wintering quarters in birds are often species and even population specific. It has been known for decades that songbirds mainly migrate solitarily, and that the migration direction is genetically controlled. Yet, the underlying genetic mechanisms remain unknown. To investigate the genetic basis of migration direction, we track genotyped willow warblers Phylloscopus troc
BACKGROUND: The relation between blood pressure and kidney cancer risk is well established but complex and different study designs have reported discrepant findings on the relative importance of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP). In this study, we sought to describe the temporal relation between diastolic and SBP with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) risk in detail.METHODS
