Accessibility and communication are important concepts applied in museology and museum sciences, but are they implemented optimally in museums today? We have chosen to explore the application of these concepts in two cultural institutions for this thesis: Lund University Historical Museum and Malmö Konsthall, and have studied their implementation of physical and digital communication, and accessib
In 2015, 19.2 million people have been internally displaced globally in the context of disasters (IDMC, 2016). This is more than twice the number of people who have been newly displaced by conflict in the same period (IDMC, 2016). The small island developing states (SIDS) in the Pacific and the Caribbean belong to the most hazard-prone regions of the world. Yet, the dynamics of disaster-induced di
This essay concerns the complementation of the English emotive verbs like, love, hate and prefer. In English, gerund-participial and infinitival complements often receive semi-synonymous semantic interpretations when complementing emotive verbs. All the while, both complement types supposedly convey separate semantic interpretations, resulting in that they commonly appear in contexts expressing ha
Applied Machine Learning in Steel Industry – Examination of possible applications of machine learning for SSAB Oxelösund In modern industry there are high demands for increased resource efficiency that in part are motivated by the stronger competition on the global market, as well as by the societal necessity for a more sustainable industry. This master thesis project examines applied machine lear
Studien ämnade att undersöka hur väl personlighet respektive könsidentifiering, var för sig respektive tillsammans, kan predicera ideologisk orientering. För att undersöka detta användes personlighetstestet HEXACO och könsidentifieringstestet BSRI. Syftet med uppsatsen var att öka väljarförståelsen. Studien utgick ifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval (N=272), med 171 kvinnor och 101 män. Samtliga var svenThis aim of this thesis was to examine how well personality and gender-identification, by themselves and combined, were able to predict ideological orientation. This through the personality test HEXACO and gender-identification test BSRI. The purpose of the study was to help improve the understanding of Swedish voters. The sample was a convenience sample (N=272), with 171 women and 101 men, all Sw
Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur efterlevande makes arvsrätt och andra ekonomiska skyddsregler vid händelse av den ena makens död är uppbyggda. Syftet är även att ur ett genusperspektiv analysera denna lagstiftning för att på så sätt få en djupare förståelse för varför reglerna är konstruerade på detta specifika sätt. För att kunna diskutera genusaspektens påverkan på den svenska lagstiThe purpose of this paper is to study how the surviving spouse’s inheritance rights and other financial guarantees in case of death of the other spouse are constructed and from a gender perspective’s analyse this legislation in order to gain a deeper understanding of why the rules are designed in this specific way. In order to discuss the gender perspectives impact on the Swedish law it’s importan
When the civil war in Lebanon was ended by the signing of the Taif Agreement in 1989, the consociational democracy was reintroduced to mitigate inter-sectarian tension. Although there has been more than 30 years since the war ended, Lebanon is still a deeply divided society, and the current peace is characterized by reoccurring eruptions of violence and inter-sectarian tension. While the sectarian
OBJECTIVE-Many genetic variants have been associated with glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes in genome-wide association studies. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is important for beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis. We tested the hypothesis that zinc intake could influence the glucose-raising effect of specific variants. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-We conducted a 14-cohort meta-
Swedish R&D activities in the field of IT and the environment - a mapping related to indirect environmental effects and effects at system level Feb 2009: Peter Arnfalk, Andrius Plepys, Chris van Rossem, The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics, Lund University. The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University has, in autumn

Quantitative RT-PCR (QRT-PCR) enables the sensitive and specific detection of mRNA with a small copy number. We used the QRT-PCR method and dual-label analysis of amplification products for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) mRNA. The QRT-PCR assay employed a PSA-like internal standard (IS) mRNA, which was used to quantify the PSA mRNA copies and to control the variations during the
OBJECTIVES: To determine what constitutes normal changes in the uterine cervix visible at transvaginal ultrasound examination from 24 gestational weeks until delivery in nulliparous women delivering at term. DESIGN: Cervical length and width were measured using transvaginal ultrasound, and the inner cervical os was assessed as being closed or open every 2 weeks from gestational week 24 until deliv
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the perceived anxiety, depression, sleeping habits, and participation in social activities in relation to psychotropic drug use among elderly in assisted-living facilities and to identify factors of importance for the use of these drugs. Method: The study had a cross-sectional design and included 93 residents living in old-age homes or in
Gated transport measurements are the backbone of electrical characterization of nanoscale electronic devices. Scanning gate microscopy (SGM) is one such gating technique that adds crucial spatial information, accessing the localized properties of semiconductor devices. Nanowires represent a central device concept due to the potential to combine very different materials. However, SGM on semiconduct
OBJECTIVES: From a reproductive justice framework, we aimed to investigate how a possible association between hormonal contraceptive (HC) and antidepressants use (as a proxy for depression) is distributed across intersectional strata in the population. We aimed to visualise how intersecting power dynamics may operate in combination with HC use to increase or decrease subsequent use of antidepressa
Objective: Medical crises occur rather seldom in the primary care setting, but when they do, initial management impacts on morbidity and mortality. Factors that impede the performance of emergency interventions in primary care have not been studied through in-situ simulation. Checklists reportedly improve crisis management. Design: This randomized controlled trial evaluated emergency intervention
Objective: To evaluate if perceived barriers to accessing mental healthcare (MHC) among individuals with symptoms of depression are associated with their socio-economic position (SEP). Design: Cross-sectional questionnaire-based population survey from the Lolland-Falster Health Study (LOFUS) 2016-17 of 5076 participants. Participants: The study included 372 individuals, with positive scores for de
Development of molecular markers that help to identify high-risk individuals or diagnose indeterminate pulmonary nodules could have a major impact on lung cancer clinical management. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic potential of a newly-developed ELISA that specifically detects complement C4d. We measured this marker in five independent cohorts of plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage sample
OBJECTIVE - To analyze the effect of antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65Ab) and islet cells (ICA512Ab) on glycemic control early in IDDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - GAD65Ab and ICA512Ab were measured twice in 35 patients (10 male, 25 female; age 1040 years) initially within 2 years of diagnosis and again 1 year later. The glycosylated hemoglobin was measured one to four times each
