CONTEXT: Pharmacodynamic studies have shown that persistently high platelet reactivity is common in patients with diabetes in spite of clopidogrel treatment. Clinical trials have not convincingly demonstrated that clopidogrel benefits patients with diabetes as much patients without diabetes.OBJECTIVES: To estimate the clinical effectiveness associated with clopidogrel treatment after myocardial in
Objective: Needle acupuncture in small children has gained some acceptance in Western medicine. It is controversial, as infants and toddlers are unable to consent to treatment. We aimed to assess its efficacy for treating infantile colic. Design: A systematic review and a blinding-test validation based on individual patient data from randomised controlled trials. Primary end-points were crying tim
Research on air travellers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for climate change mitigation has focussed on voluntary emissions offsetting so far. This approach overlooks policy relevant knowledge as it does not consider that people may value public goods higher if they are certain that others also contribute. To account for potential differences, this study investigates Swedish adults’ WTP for a mandatory
The main objective was to assess knowledge, practices, and restrictions faced by young women regarding their menstrual hygiene. The views of adult women having young daughters were also included and both views were compared. In addition, the factors influencing the menstrual hygiene practices were also studied. The study was carried out during 2008 in Mumbai, India. The mixed methods approach was
Popular Abstract in Swedish I ett väderälskande land som Sverige finns det väl ingen som inte är bekant med den väderkarta som ger oss information om hur prognosen för den närmaste tiden ser ut? Många av oss tittar dagligen på väderrapporten och låter den hjälpa oss att bestämma om vi ska cykla eller ta bussen, sätta på grillen eller laga mat i ugnen. Genom enkla visualiseringar i form av sol, regWith the aid of modern computer technology the application of visualization and simulation technology has become increasingly important in today’s society. Through computer modelling it is possible to experience, understand and explore environments, systems or objects in two or three dimensions and to see, hear and sometimes tangibly feel them. It may be environments or objects that do not yet exi
This dissertation examines the characteristics of Iranian nationalist discourse between the World Wars. By looking at texts of intellectuals, men and women, published in three journals (Iranshahr, Name-ye Farangestan, and Ayandeh) in the 1920s this study maps the content of nationalist discourse and to what extent this discourse allows for dissonance. Informed by the work of Reinhart Koselleck (co
A large amount of socio-cognitive research has been devoted to questions about different perspectives – how do we understand that other people can have their own perspectives on reality. This is typically studied with so called false-belief-tasks (FBTs), which are experimental tasks designed to tap into an ability to understand that other people may have beliefs differing from our own (perspective
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Småvatten är en svacka eller hålighet som är vattenfylld året om. Dessa småvatten fyller många viktiga funktioner i naturen. De fungerar som utjämnare av flödesvariationer, uppehållsplats och födoplats för många djur och växter och som rena estetiska inslag i naturen, och inte minst som reningsplatser för oönskade näringsämnen så som kväve. Dessa småvatten har iWetlands play an important role in the ecosystem. They reduce the impact of flow flux in the drainage area, acts as upholder of biodiversity, as an esthetic and recreational component in the landscape and they have the ability to reduce nutrients such as nitrogen, and help preventing eutrophication in costal areas. The number of wetlands in Scania have, due to the intensified agriculture been redu
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kunskap om mängden kol som växter tar upp i från atmosfären är i dag en viktig frågeställning inom naturvetenskaplig forskning. Resultaten av sådan forskning kan bl.a. användas vid internationella konventioner som t.ex. Kyoto avtalet. I denna studie har jord prover från semi-arida agro-ekosystem i Sudan statistiskt analyserats för att se om skillnaden i organiskSummary: It is well documented that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is increasing globally. Many scientific studies also show that increased CO2 in the atmosphere may raise the mean global temperature and disturb climates in unforeseen ways. The Kyoto Protocol is a framework aiming for an international collaboration for the reduction of atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG), of which CO2 is one of t
Nuclear power has significantly improved performance over the last thirty years. This improvement has been based on a philosophy of control. That is, for each issue that must be managed to achieve safe performance, a pre-determined barrier must be established. In addition to the barriers that were designed into the plant, a large range of programs, processes and procedures have been developed to d
Popular science summary: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare disease but more commonly found in ethnic populations belonging to Europe and North America than in those of Asian or African ancestry. This disease causes loss of neurons in different areas of the brain, that gives rise to different behavioural changes and psychological disturbances including involuntary movements and depression. The
Detta examensarbete är skrivet inom ramen för Green Hub Landskrona (GHL), som är ett samarbete mellan tre kommunala företag i Landskrona och flera institutioner inom Lunds Universitet - LTH. Syftet med samarbetet är att driva omställningen av stadsdelen Karlslund till en hållbar stadsdel genom innovativa lösningar för energi, avfall och boende. Detta examensarbete utförs som ett första steg i denThis Master´s thesis is a part of the project Green Hub Landskrona (GHL), a collaboration between three municipally owned companies in Landskrona and a number of institutions within the faculty of engineering at Lund University. The aim of GHL is to transform the neighbourhood Karlslund, northern Landskrona, to a sustainable district, through innovative solutions for energy, waste management and h
When installing new research equipment at the synchrotron research laboratory MAX IV, a final positional accuracy of tens of microns is usually needed. To obtain that accuracy, initial reference points must be placed within 2 mm from the nominal target points in CAD, in a process referred to as bluelining. It is currently a manual process where points from a virtual environment are transferred to
The aim of this project is to transfer and implement a monoclonal antibody purification process that is traditionally done on an ÄKTAxpress to another machine called the ÄKTA pure. This is due to the fact that the ÄKTAxpress is being discontinued by the manufacturer and a replace-ment machine is needed for the time being. The project will include developing some new meth-ods that might also highli
Digitalization has in recent years transformed the music industry and how people consume music. Simultaneously, the social media app TikTok has emerged as a major player in marketing, using its unique algorithmic structure and user-generated content to become a powerful marketing tool for musicians and record labels alike. Therefore, this paper investigates the effect of TikTok on music consumptio
Matsvinn är ett stort globalt problem som för närvarande saknar tillräckliga politiska och lagstiftande åtgärder för att förstå och hantera problemet. Skåne län, har ambitiösa och högt satta klimatmål, där minskat kommunalt matsvinn kan vara ett sätt för att uppnå dessa mål. Jag ville bättre förstå vilken forskning som redan existerar, var forskningsbrister ligger och hur matsvinn reduceras i verkFood waste is recognized as a major global issue that currently lacks sufficient political and legislative action in order to understand or address it adequately. Skåne County, Sweden’s southernmost county, has highly ambitious climate action goals, and reducing municipal food waste could help them meet these goals. I wanted to better understand what research already exists, where research gaps li
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en betydande del av Sveriges och EU:s energianvändning och klimatpåverkan. Samtidigt ökar behovet av energieffektiva bostäder i takt med befolkningstillväxt och ökade krav på klimatanpassning och hållbarhet. Energieffektivisering inom byggnadssektorn lyfts därför fram som en central åtgärd för att minska energianvändning och växthusgasutsläpp. Utöver tekniska lBygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en betydande del av Sveriges och EU:s energianvändning och klimatpåverkan.
