BACKGROUND: Due to significant achievements in reducing mortality and increasing life expectancy, the issue of disability from diseases and injuries, and their related interventions, has become one of the most important concerns of health-related research.METHODS: Using data obtained from the GBD 2015 study, the present report provides prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) of 310 disea

This paper provides a coherent review of district heating in Denmark, exploring past, present and future perspectives. Danish district heating is known as unique internationally in terms of heat planning strategies, technical solutions and combinations, energy efficiency and sustainability, ownership models and financing, and it has captured the attention of district heating communities and stakeh

This thesis investigated how driving is affected by low visibility due to wildfire smoke. Virtual reality experiments with a driving simulator were performed with 89 participants. The software and hardware configuration mirrored the experiments by Rohaert et al. (2025) in order to compare the results. Participants drove five scenarios with different levels of smoke and were instructed to behave as

With increasing country-level gender equality, country-level gender differences in personality are found to increase. This is known as the Gender-Equality-Personality-Paradox (GEPP). Possibly, the GEPP is a methodological artefact. So far, the personality trait scoring method has not been investigated as a potential source of the GEPP. Three kinds of scores were investigated in the present study:

Open call for BECC Lighthouse projects between Feb to June 13th 2025 What is a BECC Lighthouse grant? A BECC Lighthouse Project addresses the big questions of our time revolving around Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate. It typically brings together a focused consortium of BECC Principle Investigators (PIs) of varying background who collaborate closely, and meet regularly to

Data and literature related to water quality as well as nutrient loads were used to evaluate the Changjiang River (also Yangtze or Yangzi) Basin with respect to its hydrological regime, sediment transport, and eutrophication status. Waterbodies exhibited different eutrophic degrees following the ranking order of river < reservoir < lake. Most of the eutrophic lakes and reservoirs distributed in th

The free volume and crystallization behaviour of poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) treated in pressurized carbon dioxide was studied, using Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). PALS probes the values of free volume cavity sizes in materials, thus making it possible to investigate the effect of pressurized carbon dioxide treatment on free vo

Preeclampsia (PE) complicates 3-8% of all pregnancies and manifests clinically as hypertension and proteinuria in the second half of gestation. The pathogenesis of PE is not fully understood but recent studies have described the involvement of cell-free fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Hypothesizing that PE is associated with prolonged hemolysis we have studied the response of the cell-free Hb- and heme de

This paper discusses prediction of the subjective response to walking sound - also called drum sound - based on differences in objective measurements. 'Walking sound' refers to the sound heard when someone is walking in the same room as the listener. Walking sound has attracted interest in recent years, particularly due to an increased use of thin floating floor constructions, such as veneer or la

Being taller is associated with enhanced longevity, and higher education and earnings. We reanalysed 1472 population-based studies, with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants to estimate mean height for people born between 1896 and 1996 in 200 countries. The largest gain in adult height over the past century has occurred in South Korean women and Iranian men, who became 20.2

The Epithelial Science Expert Group convened on 18–19 October 2023, in Naples, Italy, to discuss the current understanding of the fundamental role of the airway epithelium in asthma and other respiratory diseases and to explore the future direction of patient care. This review summarises the key concepts and research questions that were raised. As an introduction to the epithelial era of research,

This thesis examines the wealthiest individuals in 19th century Sweden. The specific questions asked are which sectors of the economy these individuals accumulated their wealth in; and to what extent they belonged to the nobility. The thesis also further investigate whether the wealthiest were overrepresented as high ranking politicians such as ministers, members of parliament and mayors. The econ

The purpose of this thesis has been to challenge the idea of how the existing market for brewery equipment should look by creating a modular brewery. Hopefully this could reduce both shipping and costs in the future, as many who buy a brewing system for home use already have a vessel to brew with. The execution has followed Ulrich and Eppinger's product development methodology. By breaking dow

Studie av aggregeringstendenser hos en homolog serie peptider med NMR-spektroskopi Examensarbetet utvärderar tillämpningen av 1H NMR-spektroskopi med vattenundertryckning vid en första undersökning av aggregeringsbeteende hos fyra närbesläktade läkemedelsmolekyler. Utveckling av peptidläkemedel står inför många svårigheter. För det första är de är relativt nya på marknaden. LäkemedelsutvecklareThe aggregation propensity of four GnRH analogues, namely D-Phe6-GnRH, ozarelix, cetrorelix and degarelix has been studied with 1H NMR spectroscopy in 100 % H2O, while tracking changes in pH. A method was developed to study aggregation propensities by variations in absolute integral values over time and with concentration. The method provided an intuitive visual comparison of the aggregation prope

I detta examensarbete görs en utvärdering av ankomstprognoser för tåg för att se hur de olika prediktionskällorna står sig mot varandra och hur pass väl dessa efterspeglar verkligheten. Vidare är detta examensarbete en sprint av ett forskningsprojekt som genomförs och bedrivs på Lunds Tekniska Högskola på uppdrag av Trafikverket. Till skillnad från forskningsprojektet bygger detta examensarbetIn this master thesis, an evaluation of arrival forecasts for trains is made to see how various prediction sources compare to each other and how well these reflect reality. Furthermore, this thesis is a sprint of a research project that is carried out and conducted at Lund University of Technology on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration. Unlike the research project, this thesis is based
