ISIS has committed horrible crimes to people in their “caliphate”, especially towards ethnic minorities and women. Their actions are according to the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry considered to constitute crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. This essay analyses the possibilities for the international criminal system to investigate and prosecute members of ISIS who have committe
Research at the division of Physical Chemistry deals with surface and colloid science with strong links between experiment and theory. This area is approached with a broad perspective ranging from basic considerations of intermolecular interaction and their manifestations in condensed systems to practical consequences in industry and medicine.

Kemiska institutionen är en gemensam institution för kemi inom den naturvetenskapliga fakulteten och den tekniska fakulteten (Lunds tekniska högskola, LTH). All forskning och utbildning vid institutionen sker på Kemicentrum, som är nordens största centrum för forskning och utbildning inom kemiområdet. All vår forskning har samma mål: forskning till förmån för ett hållbart samhälle. Vi bedriver foThe Department of Chemistry belongs to both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University. All education and research at the department takes place at Kemicentrum, Scandinavias´s largest center for education and research in chemistry. We have a common goal of our research: research for the benefit of a sustainable society. We are conducting research within all ar
Vid avdelningen studeras biomolekylers växelverkan, struktur och dynamik för att förstå biologiska system och processer på molekylär nivå. Tonvikten ligger på experimentella och teoretiska studier av proteiners veckning och stabilitet, struktur och dynamik, samt deras växelverkan med andra molekyler. Den dominerande experimentella metoden är nukleär magnetresonans (NMR), såväl högupplösande spektrWe study biomolecular interactions, structure, and dynamics, with the aim of understanding biological systems and processes at the molecular level. The emphasis is on experimental and theoretical studies of the physical properties of proteins in solution: their folding, assembly, and stability; their 3D structures and conformational dynamics; their interactions with water, ions, and other solvent
I vår forskning använder vi oss av kohort- och registerbaserad information bland individer för att undersöka primärt obesitas och relaterade riskfaktorer i relation till risk för och överlevnad i sjukdom, ffa cancer. För närvarande fokuseras det mesta av vår forskning på ODDS (Obesity and Disease Development Sweden) studien som leds av vår grupp. ODDS inkluderar miljontals män och kvinnor i SverigIn our research, we use cohort- and register-based information in individuals to investigate primarily obesity and related risk factors, in relation to risk and survival of disease, primarily cancer. Currently, most of our research is focused on the Obesity and Disease Development Sweden (ODDS) study, which is led by our group. ODDS includes millions of men and women in Sweden with body size measu
This work discusses methods to obtain reference following on unstable systems. The task is critical; introduction of refernce signal might cause instability in some cases. It is thus interesting to develop strategies that offer acceptable reference following, but also guarantees stability. In practice similiar problems arises in flight control systems for unstable fighter aircrafts. Experimental v
The cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules mediates adhesive interactions that are required for the formation and maintenance of tissues. Previously, we demonstrated that N-cadherin, which is required for numerous morphogenetic processes, is expressed in the pancreatic epithelium at E9.5, but later becomes restricted to endocrine aggregates in mice. To study the role of N-cadherin during pancr
This paper deals with the manual control of unstable systems, subject to control signal saturation. In particular we consider the Furuta pendulum, where the problem is to control the orientation of the arm manually while stabilizing the inverted pendulum. This paper presents an analysis which leads to an insight into the problem as well as the control strategy. This control strategy has been imple
AimThe aim was to explore the ambulance service as experienced by present and former employees.BackgroundOver the last decade, the number of ambulance assignments has increased annually by about 10%, and as many as 50% of all ambulance assignments are considered non-urgent. This raises questions about which assignments the Ambulance Service (AS) is supposed to deal with.Design/methodData were coll
The study was a non-randomized controlled phase I-II trial to study were to ascertain the safety, feasibility and efficacy of immunotherapy with autologous IFN-γ transfected tumour cells in patients with glioblastoma multiforme. Autologous tumour cells harvested during surgery were cultured and transduced with the human IFN-γ gene. Irradiated cells were administered as intradermal immunizations ev
Due to the increasing share of older people worldwide, the United Nations has directed an initiative towards a "decade of healthy ageing" to promote "age-friendly environments". This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of how to promote social participation and everyday mobility in later life. The ambition is to increase the knowledge about how to create more age-friendly environments and so
Övergripande målet för vår forskning är att undersöka hur miljöfaktorer associerade med utveckling av typ 2-diabetes (T2D) påverkar frisättning av insulin och glukagon från bukspottkörtelns Langerhanska öar. Insulin och glukagon reglerar reciprokt blodets glukosnivåer. Insulin minskar blodglukoskoncentrationer efter måltid, glukagon medverkar till ökade nivåer av glukos vid fasta och ansträngn. ViThe overall objective of our research is to investigate how Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) associated environmental factors effects the islet hormone secretion with a specific focus on how impaired exocytosis is involved in the etiology of the disease. We investigate from a cell physiological perspective the regulation of insulin and glucagon secretion from the pancreatic beta – and alpha cells, respective
Forskningsområdet studerar organiseringen av välfärdspraktiker och de aktörer som verkar där, som professionella, men också som klienter, brukare, volontärer, besökare och liknande. Fokus ligger på det sociala arbetet och dess organisationer. Forskningen bygger därmed vidare på en tradition vid Socialhögskolan i Lund att kritiskt granska institutioner och institutionalisering. Området studerar ockThe research area studies the organization of welfare practitioners and the actors who work there, as professionals, but also as clients, users, volunteers and visitors, with focus on social work and its organizations. The research is thus based on a tradition at the Lund University to critically examine institutions and institutionalization. The area also studies professions, professionalization,
