The removal of snow and ice from aircraft prior to take-off is a major task at all airports located in cold climates. Currently the removal of ice and snow is carried out using large amounts of costly and environmentally harmful glycol that is sprayed onto the outer surface of the aircraft. Tougher environmental regulations and a cost conscious market have created a growing need for alternative me
Our research mission is to create relevant and rigorous knowledge on how digitalisation is designed and how it influences individuals, organisations and society. Research in Information Systems (Informatics) in Lund focuses on designing digitalisation and on the digital transformation of society and human activities. How do we contribute to this transformation as designers and developers? How are

This systematic literature review assesses the current state of knowledge on how increased ICT use affects individual time-use patterns and the associated implications for lifestyle climate implications. While the environmental impacts of ICT have been widely debated in terms of direct energy consumption, there has been limited focus on the indirect time-use effects. The review draws on 101 articl
Despite the societal importance of extreme hydroclimate events, few palaeoenvironmental studies of Scandinavian lake sediments have investigated flood occurrences. Here we present a flood history based on lithological, geochemical and mineral magnetic records of a Holocene sediment sequence collected from contourite drift deposits in Lake Storsjön (63.12° N, 14.37° E). After the last deglaciation,
Conversations on how AI is eroding human rights (and what we can do about it) Sue Anne Teo Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law; Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard Kennedy School Overview • Why talk about AI and human rights? o What are human rights? • AI and human rights benefits • AI and human rights concerns raised o Horizon scanning • Novel human right
Treatment with pancreatic or pancreatic-like microbial enzymes during the suckling period has positive effects on the gut, resulting in a better fat absorption and improved barrier function in pigs. The present study investigated the effects of pancreaticlike enzyme treatment during the pre- or postweaning period on pig growth and nitrogen utilization. Suckling 7- to 14-d-old pigs were gavage fed
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between serum testosterone and PSA levels in middle-aged healthy men from the general population. Materials and Methods: Based on 119 healthy men from the general population, total testosterone and PSA levels were measured. Demographic data regarding BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, smoking, and alcohol consumption were also collec
Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate the association between serum levels of cortisol and erectile function in healthy men aged 45-60 years.Material and methods: The serum level of cortisol was measured. The international index of erectile function-5 items (IIEF-5) was used to assess the erectile function.Data were gathered on the age of participants, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circum
Background: Few studies describe the use of the Post-Stroke Checklist (PSC) as a tool for longitudinal stroke follow-up in clinical practice. We mapped the prevalence of stroke-related health problems and targeted interventions at 3 and 12 months post-stroke by using the PSC. Methods: Patients with acute stroke discharged home in 2018–2019 at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, were invited to part
INTRODUCTION: Ageing right care(fully) is a transnational research study which explores and maps an understanding of the care pathways between ageing in place and hospital at home policy and practices for older adults in Israel, the Netherlands and Sweden. The countries are suited to be compared where they have growing, ageing populations, a focus on healthcare reform and several policies to reduc
Occupancy is one of the primary contributors to the energy performance gap, defined as the difference between actual and predicted energy usage, in buildings. This paper limits its scope to residential buildings, where occupant-centric consumption often goes unaccounted for in standard energy metrics. This paper starts from the hypothesis that a simple occupant energy efficiency label is needed to
Education is considered to be one of the most important tools for enabling the transition to a sustainable society, and it is commonly agreed that education for sustainable development (ESD) should be pluralistic, democratic and promote critical thinking. However, there are indications that education might be dominated by green consumerist approaches to solving environmental problems. If this is t
This thesis presents a comparison between implementations of the inverse square root function, using two approximation algorithms; Harmonized Parabolic Synthesis and the Newton-Raphson Method. The input is a 15 bit fixed-point number, the range of which is selected so that the implementation is suitable for use as a block implementing the inverse square root for floating-point numbers, and the des
Aim As part of its strategic objectives for 2023, EULAR aims to improve the work participation of people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs). One strategic initiative focused on the development of overarching points to consider (PtC) to support people with RMDs in healthy and sustainable paid work participation. Methods EULAR's standardised operating procedures were followed. A stee

Aims/hypothesis Thus far, it is unclear whether lifestyle recommendations for people with diabetes should be different from those for the general public. We investigated whether the associations between lifestyle factors and mortality risk differ between individuals with and without diabetes. Methods Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), a cohort was forme
This thesis discusses ethical consumption with a focus on individual’s identity, the notion of reflexivity and the importance of information in being an ethical consumer in a globalized world. The concepts of reflexivity, habitus, self- and social identities are reviewed. Using hermeneutic approach to analysis of in-depth semi-structured interviews of individuals who identify themselves as ethical
OBJECTIVE: Smoking is an established risk factor for type 2 diabetes. In contrast, it has been proposed that smoking may reduce the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), but studies are scarce. We aimed to study the impact of smoking on LADA and type 2 diabetes risks. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We used data from a Swedish case-control study including incident case patients with LA
