The predominant way of modelling mortality rates is the Lee–Carter model and its many extensions. The Lee–Carter model and its many extensions use a latent process to forecast. These models are estimated using a two-step procedure that causes an inconsistent view on the latent variable. This paper considers identifiability issues of these models from a perspective that acknowledges the latent vari
The chapter contains a brief history of the educational development of nurse anesthesia from the mid-nineteenth century till date in selected member countries of the International Federation of Nurse Anesthetist (IFNA). After a long period of on-the-job-training and being part of the basic nursing education, formal nurse anesthesia education started in most countries in the late 1940s until the mi
1. The spontaneous mechanical activity of guinea-pig mesotubarium consists of fused tetanic contractions lasting about 6 min, with a frequency of about four per hour. The muscle is completely relaxed between the contractions. Stretching the relaxed muscle elicits a contraction of the same appearance as the spontaneous ones. Comparison of preparations from oestrus (day 1 of the hormonal cycle), dio
This interdisciplinary course will introduce the climate-biodiversity-health nexus and consider Nature-Based Solutions through the lens of (environmental) psychology, ecology, and epidemiology. It will include both theoretical lectures and application of the knowledge in group work, group discussions, and a study visit to two Nature-Based Solutions in Skåne (Malmö and Hörby). You can contact marli
During 1965-1998, radiocarbon dating in Lund was performed in a conventional laboratory at the Department of Quaternary Geology using two CO2 proportional counters for detection of 14C disintegrations. Dating limit for the equipment was ca 40000 years BP, and the precision for Holocene samples was ± 50 to 80 years. The dating capacity was ca 140 samples/year and around 4200 radiocarbon datings wer

Some of our material has been collected during expeditions and projects. These are worth noticing. You find the books we mention at the Biology library.Swedish South African ExpeditionDuring 1950–51, an almost year-long collecting trip to Southern Africa was made with the focus on the terrestrial fauna from zoologically unknown and important biotopes. The expedition was initiated by Bertil Hanströ

Many streams in Scania have been regulated to increase the agricultural potential. Erosion of suspended particles and leakage of nutrients have increased, which gives a higher turbidity in streams. Water samples have been taken in Stream Segeå which has very turbid water. Samples have been taken both in the stream and inflowing ditches, to investigate where particles come from. The stream is very
Swedish security politics changed during the time when Sweden joined the European Union. This thesis analyse this transformation with focus on a military operation in Chad were Sweden attended. Sweden has been considered as a neutral actor in the context of military conflicts. This neutrality can even be traced back to the nineteenth century. When Sweden entered the European Union the country star
This chapter focuses on society's construction in normative terms and, thereby, tries to lay the foundation for a theory based on the strategy of anatomy applied to society. Anatomy is that part of biology that deals with how organisms are built. All living organisms consist of cells that are structured in different types of tissues, which, in turn, build up the organs. Society starts over again f
EPIC was set up to investigate relationships between diet, nutrition, lifestyle and environmental factors and the onset of cancer and other chronic diseases. EPIC is the largest study ever made of diet and health, involving over half a million people in ten European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom and Sweden.Researchers at EPIC are
Climate change is increasingly affecting human well-being and will inevitably impact on occupational sectors in terms of costs, productivity, workers' health and injuries. Among the cooling garment developed to reduce heat strain, the ventilation jacket could be considered for possible use in workplaces, as it is wearable without limiting the user's mobility and autonomy. In this study, simulation

Peberholm is a constructed Danish island in the Øresund strait. It was primarily constructed by calcareous clay from the sea floor, and is traversed by a highway and a railway. Being constructed from material without a seed bank, Peberholm constituted a good opportunity to study primary succession in an anthropogenic context. In this study, data from a survey of the vascular plant community of Peb

Fodor is infamous for his radical conceptual nativism, McDowell likewise well-known for suggesting that concepts extend “all the way out” into the world and arguing against what he calls (per Sellars) The Myth of the Given: the idea that non-conceptual percepts justify conceptual frameworks. One need not go so far as either researcher, however, in allowing merit to their arguments. It seems we are
This thesis examines how consolation is expressed in the Finnish devotional writings of field chaplain Carolus Olai Pictorius during the Swedish campaign in Livonia in 1622. These texts were written for Finnish soldiers in the Swedish army, many of whom remained in Riga as part of the garrison after the city's capture. The study aims to analyse how language, theology, and pastoral care relate
