A year after the establishment of the protest camp Palestinagård at Lund’s University in May 2024 and its demolishment by the authorities, the student solidarity movement is continuously engaged in endeavours to get into conversations with the institutions at Lunds University to make their demands heard, as the genocide on the Palestinian population in Gaza is still ongoing. Further, Palestinagård

Proposal for a MERGE Short Project – Title 1 (2) INTRODUCTION Short projects are a way to stimulate ideas and work from MERGE members within the MERGE research framework and as such cross-research between the different research areas (RA) are encouraged. The focus is often derived from discussions and ideas that are raised during the annual meetings of MERGE blended with input from our external mo

Since April 2017, legislation fining people in ‘encampments’ in public spaces was enacted in Copenhagen. This regulation was tightened by July 2018 be-coming an effective ban, where the subject of the fine was expelled from the administrative limits of the municipality. The measure comes as an ineffective way to deal with homelessness as it does not address the conditions that lead to it, working

Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are widely used to estimate the risk of osteoporotic fractures. In addition, many other risk factors have been identified, sonic of which are known to add to the risk independently of BMD measurements. The combination of BMD with such risk factors increases the gradient of risk/standard deviation (SD) than that achieved by BMD alone. In this paper, we report

This study was performed to investigate the impact of acute hyperglycemia (HG) on the permeability of the normal glomerular filtration barrier in vivo. In anaesthetized Wistar rats (250-280g), the left ureter was catheterized for urine collection, while simultaneously blood access was achieved. Rats received an intravenous (i.v.) infusion of either 1) hypertonic glucose to maintain blood glucose a

Lakes and ponds are habitats of great human importance as they provide water for domestic, industrial and agricultural use as well as providing food. In spite of their fundamental importance to humans, freshwater systems have been severely affected by a multitude of anthropogenic disturbances, which have led to serious negative effects on the structure and function of these ecosystems. The aim of

Background: The prevalence of risk factors for ischemic stroke may vary between different groups of stroke patients. We examined the distribution of individual well-established risk factors as well as the multiplicity of risk factors in different age groups and among subtypes. Methods: In the Lund Stroke Register, we consecutively enrolled 2,505 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke from 2001 t

The thesis examines the commercialization of intimacy, love and relationships on Tinder.

Purpose: This thesis analyses and assesses how companies in Germany’s DAX 40 demonstrate their adherence to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It evaluates whether these disclosures are mainly substantive, indicating proper strategic integration, or symbolic, aimed primarily at enhancing reputation, and compares their reporting quality to previous international research. Methodology: This rese

Effective workload planning in Skåne hospitals relies on accurate, data-driven birth forecasts. Weekly and hospital-level predictions are particularly important in the healthcare sector for operational decision-making, including staffing and maternity unit resource allocation. This study develops and evaluates a time series forecasting model capable of predicting weekly birth counts in the Skåne r

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for various quantum information applications including quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation. However, detecting entanglement in practice can be challenging due to noisy measurements and limited control over the systems being studied. Steering, which is a distinct nonlocal property between entanglement and bell nonlocality (the strongest

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) regulate islet function after carbohydrate ingestion. Whether incretin hormones are of importance for islet function after ingestion of noncarbohydrate macronutrients is not known. This study therefore examined integrated incretin and islet hormone responses to ingestion of pure fat (oleic acid; 0.88 g/kg) or pr
