Since undergraduate students often feel unprepared for and apprehensive of the research component included in the degree project (examensarbete) (Akister et al, 2006; I’Anson et al, 2004; Todd et al, 2004), we trialled the use of personal virtual learning spaces to support B- and C-level students’ research activities and enhance supervision of the writing process. The personal virtual learning s

Too Many Doing Too Little On Contemporary European Film Production Cultures In a majority of Western European countries, the two concurrent, post-World War II tendencies of increasing economic difficulties for the national film industries and the developing recognition of film as a significant contemporary art form were imperative for the introduction of film support. With Hollywood dominating sc

We have all experienced how a telephone conversation can be more challenging than speaking face to face. Understanding the intended meaning of a speaker‘s words requires forming an impression of the current mental state of the speaker, including her beliefs, intentions, and emotional state (Sperber & Wilson, 1995). Facial expressions are an important source of this information. In this study,

The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the macroscopic long wavelength Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) properties with unprecedented precision, the investigation of the microscopic parton dynamics underlying QGP properties, the development of a unified picture of particle

Skildring av de profranska stämningarna inom Lunds universitet vid tiden för fransk-tyska kriget samt hur dessa sedan successivt förbyttes mot en ökad orientering mot Tyskland.

Background: The discovery of disease-associated loci through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is the leading genetic approach to the identification of novel biological pathways underlying diseases in humans. Until recently, GWAS in ischaemic stroke have been limited by small sample sizes and have yielded few loci associated with ischaemic stroke. We did a large-scale GWAS to identify additio

Membrane-bound water channels known as aquaporins (AQPs) facilitate water transport across biological membranes along osmotic gradients. Since all living cells depend on their ability to maintain water homeostasis, this must be tightly regulated. In eukaryotes, this is achieved by gating, which involves a conformational change of the protein, thereby physically blocking water transport, or by traf

Technological innovation increasingly depends on multiscalar actor networks and institutions. However, the developers of many conceptual frameworks explaining innovation success have paid only limited attention to this new reality, due to their focus on regions and countries as agents that shape innovation governance and as containers that provide institutional conditions for innovation success. I

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt ett cellskelett som ger struktur åt mito-kondrierna, cellens energifabriker. Skelettet är nödvändigt för mitokondriernas funktion, men forskarna fann även att cancerceller trots defekter utnyttjar skelettet för att kunna bibehålla sin energiproduktion – och därigenom överleva. Cellskelettet i mitokondrierna fungerar ungefär som ett armeringsnät och hjälp

The formation of biomolecular condensates inside cells often involve intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), and several of these IDPs are also capable of forming dropletlike dense assemblies on their own, through liquid-liquid phase separation. When modeling thermodynamic phase changes, it is well known that finite-size scaling analysis can be a valuable tool. However, to our knowledge, this ap
