Macroeconomic conditions heavily influence financial markets, and the leading corpus of theory in the field lays out some general principles observed by investors and asset managers alike. However, while the theory is sound, it is hard to measure how much effect these conditions have. To better understand this scenario, this study uses a novel technique that combines traditional causal inference w

Rescuing stalled ribosomes often involves their splitting into subunits. In many bacteria, the resultant large subunits bearing peptidyl-tRNAs are processed by the ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) apparatus that extends the C termini of the incomplete nascent polypeptides with polyalanine tails to facilitate their degradation. Although the tailing mechanism is well established, it is uncl

• Meliha C Kapetanovic (gruppledare) huvudforskningslinje är att studera olika aspekter av vaccination vid inflammatoriska reumatiska sjukdomar.

Purpose: Building on the disablement process model and the concept of person-environment fit (p-e fit), this review article examines 2 critical questions concerning the role of home environments: (a) What is the recent evidence supporting a relationship between home environments and disability-related outcomes? and (b) What is the recent evidence regarding the effects of home modifications on disa

Start-up companies and young firms are driving forces of innovation and regional economic development. They are acknowledged to play a crucial role as innovation agents, particularly, in knowledge-based industries. Most scholars agree that young firms and academic spin-offs innovate more radically, drawing on the knowledge generated in universities and research organisations. It is often assumed t

Systemic hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is accomplished when a patient is breathing 100% oxygen in an environment with increased barometric pressure. A typical HBO treatment protocol of diabetic foot ulcer involves 20 to 40 sessions. Treatment is usually given as daily 90- to 120-minute HBO sessions at pressures between 2.0 and 2.5 absolute atmospheres. The wide use of HBO as treatment of diabetic foot u

It is generally considered that the brackish Baltic Sea has relatively low biodiversity levels of both fish and invertebrate fauna, compared to the more saline waters of Kattegat and Skagerrak on the Swedish west coast. However, a trend has been noticed, showing higher biodiversity and biomass levels of Fucus-associated fauna on the east coast of Scania, i.e. within the Baltic Sea, compared to the

Rätten till en rättvis rättegång är inkluderad i flera större internationella konventioner för mänskliga rättigheter, bland annat i ICCPR och UDHR. Rätten till ett försvar, oskyldighetspresumtionen, rätten att höras av en självständig, objektiv och kompetent domstol och rätten att inte godtyckligt bli berövad sin frihet är alla innefattade i rätten till en rättvis rättegång. ICCPR och CRC föreskri

Bodily engagement with the material and sociocultural world is ubiquitous in doing and learning science. However, science education researchers have often tended to emphasize the disembodied and nonmaterial aspects of science learning, thereby overlooking the crucial role of the body in meaning-making processes. While in recent years we have seen a turn towards embracing embodied perspectives, the

The recent COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need of non-pharmaceutical interventions in the first stages of a pandemic. Among these, lockdown policies proved unavoidable yet extremely costly from an economic perspective. To better understand the tradeoffs between economic and epidemic costs of lockdown interventions, we here focus on a simple SIR epidemic model and study lockdowns as solutions to

Enhetens syfte är att samordna och utveckla support, stöd och utbildning för lärmiljöer, såväl digitala som campusbaserade, vid Lunds universitet. Enheten för undervisningsstöd har två egna webbsidor:    För lärande i en digital värld – www.education.lu.se (för personal)  Din digitala studiemiljö – www.campusonline.lu.se (för studenter)    Enheten skickar även ut ett digitalt nyhetsbrev c:a 3

An insight into the proteome status of today is presented, covering aspects of market values, new scientific literature sources, new technology initiatives and future developments. The authors give a personal view of the importance and the expected progress of microtechnology in proteome research. The background to some of the fundamental analytical technologies where for example, chromatography h

Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis. Haemophilia A and B are hereditary, X chromosomal recessive bleeding disorders caused by deficiency or absence of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX) in the blood. The general aim of this part of the research program is to improve
