I argue that Lisa Shapiro’s rational reconstruction of Descartes’s provisional moral code in terms of a broad conception of morality supplies us with an interpretative framework that make historiographical sense of the reception of Descartes’s moral philosophy in an Anglophone context on three occasions: the appeal to Descartes made by Henry More, Henry Sidgwick’s abrupt dismissal, and the ensuing

Ad utrumque (paratus), latin for “prepared for both”, is the motto of Lund University. When the University was founded in 1666 its primary mission was to secure the southern provinces of Scania to the Swedish king. Scania had previously belonged to Denmark, but the peace settlement of 1658 made them part of Sweden. The seal of the university also shows the carolingian lion reading a book while hol
To combat climate change, different types of initiatives and policy instruments are required to support the development and dissemination of new energy efficient technologies. What type of policy instruments shall be used is, however, not pre-determined. To advance knowledge in how to design successful policy instruments, evaluations and deep-analyses are needed; this to better understand the role

A portable and time-integrating field sampler based on the supported liquid membrane (SLM) extraction technique was constructed. Using two programmable syringe pumps and one programmable valve, the sampler could carry out automatic unattended extraction for up to seven extracts, combining the steps of sampling, trace enrichment and clean-up. The sampler was applied to the extraction of four s-tria
A low-background inclusive search for new physics in events with same-sign dileptons is presented. The search uses proton-proton collisions corresponding to 20.3 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity taken in 2012 at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Pairs of isolated leptons with the same electric charge and large transverse momenta of the type e(+/-) e(+/-), e(+/-) mu
The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term effect of the two health-promoting and disease-preventive interventions, preventive home visits and senior meetings, with respect to morbidity, symptoms, self-rated health and satisfaction with health. The study was a three-armed randomized, single-blind, and controlled trial, with follow-ups at one and two years after interventions. A total of 45
BakgrundPrimärvården utgör den första linjen av vård och stöd för personer med psykisk ohälsa. Verksamheten är i huvudsak inriktad på diagnostik, medicinsk behandling och symtomlindring. Tillgången till denna vård upplevs emellertid som utmanande både av patienter och vårdgivare. En fördjupad förståelse av den levda erfarenheten av mötet med primärvården kan bidra till utvecklingen av mer individaBackground: Primary health care is in the unique position of being a first level of support and care to individuals with mental health problems. The focus in this service is on diagnosis, medical treatment, and symptom reduction. However, to access it is perceived as challenging by both patients and providers. An increased understanding of the lived experience of encountering primary health care m
Background: People with hemophilia (PwH) or von Willebrand disease (VWD) are at risk of joint bleeding, which can lead to hemophilic arthropathy. Point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound (POC-MSKUS) is increasingly used to detect joint bleeds, but a comprehensive compilation of available independent scanning protocols and their respective measurement properties is missing. Objectives: This study a
Introduction Ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a major challenge in heart transplantation, with mortality risk increasing significantly when allograft ischaemic time exceeds 4 hours. Non-ischaemic heart preservation (NIHP), using continuous hypothermic perfusion, has shown promise in preliminary studies for reducing I/R injury and improving outcomes. This randomised controlled trial aims
Theories of epidemiologic transition analyze the shift in causes of mortality due to changes in risk factors over time, and through processes of urbanization and development by comparing risk factors between countries or over time. These theories do not account for health inequities such as those resulting from environmental injustice, in which minority and lower income residents are more likely t
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) is a condition where bacteria stably colonize the urinary tract, in a manner closely resembling commensalism at other mucosa! sites. The patients carry >10(5) CFU/ml for extended periods of time and rarely develop symptoms. Contrasting the properties of ABU strains to those of uropathogenic isolates causing symptomatic infection is therefore highly relevant to unders
