In this chapter, the authors take a soft-systems methodology (SSM) (Checkland & Poulter, 2006) approach to problematising the role of programme leadership and developing with the learning community far-reaching solutions for effective programme leadership at a UK University. An appreciative inquiry (Cooperrider, 2017) allowed programme leaders (PLs) to describe many aspects of the role they fe
Acoustic trapping is becoming increasingly popular as a tool to isolate and enrich biological nanoparticles [1] (particularly extracellular vesicles [2]), yet an inherent problem with acoustic trapping of nanoparticles is calibration of the trapping efficiency. This abstract presents in-house synthesized nanoparticles with different sound scattering properties, either rigid high density gold nanop
The movement of XbaI digested O-DNA in 20 nanometer and O-DNA in 12 nanometer high slits was investigated. We found that DNA moved intermittently and following preferential pathways, indicating an important influence of surface roughness. From these intermittent movements two different mobilities were calculated, the total averaged mobilities and averaged mobilities between the intermittent sticki
Purpose Patients' understanding of their illness is key for making informed treatment decisions, yet studies suggest an association between prognostic awareness and worse quality of life (QOL) and mood among patients with advanced cancer. We sought to explore the relationships among prognostic awareness, coping, QOL, and mood in patients with newly diagnosed, incurable cancer. Methods We assessed
Kultfilmsevenemang som Den Dåliga Filmfestivalen (Göteborg, 2019 och 2023-2025) och B-Filmsklubben (Malmö) erbjuder unika atmosfärer för publiken som besöker dem. I Malmö och Göteborg anordnar biograferna regelbundet festivaler och fristående visningar av kultfilmer som band andra The Room, Birdemic, och Miami Connection. Kännetecknande för dessa upplevelser är den översvallande atmosfär som skapaCult film events like The Bad Film Festival (Gothenburg, 2019 and 2023-2025) and The B-Film Club (Malmö) offer unique atmospheres to audiences. In the two Swedish cities of Malmö and Gothenburg, exhibitors run regular festivals and standalone screenings of cult films such as The Room, Birdemic, Miami Connection, and others where an effervescent atmosphere is generated, often featuring audience par
Lunds universitet har på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket under 2021–2022 utvärderat metodik för nationell pollinatörsövervakning. Metodiken bygger på rapporten ”Proposal for an EU pollinator monitoring scheme” som tagits fram av en expertgrupp inom EU och ska ge underlag för uppföljning av pollinatörer på nationell nivå med ett främsta fokus på landskapet utanför områden som omfattas av EU:s gemensamm
Purpose Radiotherapy reduces the absolute risk of breast cancer mortality by a few percentage points in suitable women but can cause a second cancer or heart disease decades later. We estimated the absolute long-term risks of modern breast cancer radiotherapy. Methods First, a systematic literature review was performed of lung and heart doses in breast cancer regimens published during 2010 to 2015
An honest communication of uncertainty about quantities of interest enhances transparency in scientific assessments. To support this communication, risk assessors should choose appropriate ways to evaluate and characterize epistemic uncertainty. A full treatment of uncertainty requires methods that distinguish aleatory from epistemic uncertainty. Quantitative expressions for epistemic uncertainty
Background: Bladder cancer is categorized as non-muscle invasive (NMIBC) or muscle invasive (MIBC). NIMBC makes up around 70% of the cases and although it is less aggressive, the recurrence rate is 50-70%, thus requiring extensive monitoring. Additionally, there is a risk of progression into MIBC with a 5-year survival of only 50% even when treated with radical cystectomy. Immune checkpoint inhibi
Clinical pathological diagnosis and prognosis for cancer is often confounded by spatial tissue heterogeneity. This study investigates the utility of entropy as a robust quantitative metric of spatial disorder within Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) chemical images of breast cancer tissue. The use of entropy is grounded in its capacity to encapsulate the complexities of pixel-wise spectral intensi
Research on human emotions towards large carnivores is often based on self-reported emotions. This study aimed to investigate physiological and behavioral responses to feared animals among people who say that they are fearful or not fearful of brown bear and wolf. Participants were recruited to be bear fearful only (n=8), fearful of both bear and wolves (n=15), or fearful of neither carnivore (n=1
