This thesis aims to describe two most prominent cost accounting systems originated in Germany, Japan, and the U.S. respectively from the background, theoretical and empirical aspects, thereafter through comparison amongst the examined costing systems of the three chosen countries, bring about discussions on cost accounting practices in general as well as the development of cost accounting practice
This paper makes a case for using cost effectiveness (as opposed to efficiency) as key criterion when designing support policies for electricity generation from renewable energy sources in coexistence with an emissions trading scheme. Using the EU ETS and the German feed-in tariff system as examples, arguments against a stand-alone ETS are presented and necessary conditions for cost-effective supp
Background: Prophylactic lightweight mesh in the sublay position reduced the cumulative incidence of parastomal hernia (PSH) after cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion in a randomised controlled trial.Objective: To investigate whether the use of prophylactic mesh is cost-effective in comparison to no mesh from the health care provider perspective.Design setting and participants: Data on health
Internal combustion engine (ICE) fuel efficiency is a balance between good indicated efficiency and mechanical efficiency. High indicated efficiency is reached with a very diluted air/fuel-mixture and high load resulting in high peak cylinder pressure (PCP). On the other hand, high mechanical efficiency is obtained with very low peak cylinder pressure as the piston rings and bearings can be made wInternal combustion engine (ICE) fuel efficiency is a balance between good indicated efficiency and mechanical efficiency.

Naturvetenskapliga fakulteten bedriver forskning och utbildning inom flera naturvetenskapliga ämnen, fördelat på sex institutioner. Våra forskare undersöker bland annat djurs supersinnen, livets utveckling, klimatförändringar och Vintergatans ursprung men även naturens minsta beståndsdelar, framtidens material och effektivare mediciner. Vid fakulteten möjliggörs också banbrytande forskning genom tThe Faculty of Science conducts research and education across a broad range of scientific disciplines, distributed among six departments. Our researchers explore, among other topics, animal super senses, the evolution of life, climate change, and the origins of the Milky Way, as well as the fundamental building blocks of nature, advanced materials of the future, and more effective medicines. The F
Forskningsområdet studerar organiseringen av välfärdspraktiker och de aktörer som verkar där, som professionella, men också som klienter, brukare, volontärer, besökare och liknande. Fokus ligger på det sociala arbetet och dess organisationer. Forskningen bygger därmed vidare på en tradition vid Socialhögskolan i Lund att kritiskt granska institutioner och institutionalisering. Området studerar ockThe research area studies the organization of welfare practitioners and the actors who work there, as professionals, but also as clients, users, volunteers and visitors, with focus on social work and its organizations. The research is thus based on a tradition at the Lund University to critically examine institutions and institutionalization. The area also studies professions, professionalization,
Internationellt motsvaras svensk idé- och lärdomshistoria av flera olika forskningsinriktningar ”intellectual history”, ”cultural history” samt ”history of ideas” och ämnet har således en förhållandevis bred forskningsprofil. Här finns en äldrehistorisk inriktning liksom en sedan länge etablerad stark filosofihistorisk tradition och en senare inriktning mot begreppshistoria. Till detta kommer flerResearch in history of ideas and sciences at Lund University is broad. Our specialities include studies of early modernity, history of philosophy and a more recent emphasis on conceptual history. In addition to this, several researchers are showing an interest in the history of science, technology and medicine. These different orientations within the field of History of Ideas and Sciences at Lund
Available HIV treatments are unsatisfactory since they don’t clear the infection and result in expensive and life‐long treatment on an every‐day basis without clear evidence of the long‐term consequences and side effects of this. Our research is highly translational and combines clinical, experimental and bioinformatics research in various systems virology approaches to uncover nocel key virus-hos
In diffusion MRI (dMRI), images are sensitised to water diffusion by the application of magnetic field gradients. Cell membranes hinder the diffusional motion and thereby contribute to the contrast in dMRI. Thus, the diffusion of water molecules is used a probe of tissue microstructure. Data from dMRI is often analysed using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which yields image biomarkers that reflec
Centre for Innovation Research – CIRCLE – is an interdisciplinary centre which connects innovation researchers from different faculties at Lund University as well as other Swedish and international universities. The meaning of the term innovation has transformed and is now tightly linked to sustainable development goals including climate change, social sustainability and food security. CIRCLE’s a
Popular Abstract in English Psychotropic pharmaceuticals include various groups of chemicals that have been designed to affect neurochemistry in human consumers resulting in changes in cognition, mood, and/or behavior; many target specific receptors and subsequently alter neurotransmitter levels in the central nervous system. The use of pharmaceuticals by consumers results in the release of these Psychotropic pharmaceuticals have been shown to exert a variety of sublethal effects on non-target organisms, even at low concentrations found in the environment (ng/L to µg/L); hence, the aim of my research has been to determine the individual-level effects of psychotropic pharmaceuticals (the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors sertraline and fluoxetine, and the β-blocker propranolol) on beh
Background: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is rare, and contemporary data on real-world healthcare resource utilisation and costs are limited. The objective of this study is to describe long-term healthcare resource utilisation among patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and to identify clinical and treatment-related drivers of costs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective,

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to estimate the economic consequences of neurosurgical disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS The authors estimated gross domestic product (GDP) losses and the broader welfare losses attributable to 5 neurosurgical disease categories in LMICs using two distinct economic models. The value of lost output (VLO) model projects annual GDP
