The aim of this study was to explore how people with impairments perceived the accessibility of information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden and what improvements they suggest to ensure accessibility of information in future societal crises. The study had a descriptive design, involving interviews and focus group discussions with people with impairments and their representative organisati
Insects contribute considerably to global crop pollination, with pollination deficits being documented for multiple entomophilous or pollinator-dependent crops. Different cultivars of crops are being cultivated within and across production regions, so it is essential to understand the cultivar variability of pollination deficits. Here, we used a dataset from 286 sites from multiple production regi
BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation (LTx) is established as a life-saving treatment in end-stage lung disease. However, long-term survival is hampered by the development of chronic rejection, almost synonymous with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). The rejection is characterized by deposition of extracellular matrix in small airways. Fibroblasts/myofibroblasts are the main producers of extrace
Damsin (1) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone (SL) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens Mill., a plant used in the Andes as antiinflammatory medicine. This natural product is an inhibitor of NF- κB, a protein complex that controls the transcription of many genes in mammalian cells, and has a potential for standing model for the development of new anti-cancer lead structures. In order to improve the
Greetings from Sune Sunesson, Director It has been a busy couple of months for the Pufendorf IAS (Pufendorfinstitutet). Now it is almost summer and we would like to take the opportunity to wish all of you a very enjoyable break. It is our ambition that the newsletter will become an arena for sharing news and information about current or completed transdisciplinary work - so please email us if you
2 februari 2026 16:00 till 18:00 | Föreläsning Welcome to an afternoon on sports medicine, featuring lectures by renowned international researchers, Professor Wayne Derman and Professor Joanne Kemp. Game On: Tackling infections in Sports with a Winning StrategyIn his talk, Wayne Derman will discuss how we in sports medicine often tend to focus on sports injuries rather than illnesses. Yet, several

Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) are a chief uncertainty in calculating the burdens of important atmospheric compounds like tropospheric ozone or secondary organic aerosol, reflecting either imperfect chemical oxidation mechanisms or unreliable emission estimates, or both. To provide a starting point for a more systematic discussion we review here global isoprene and monoter
In late 2016, Lund is on the verge of becoming the center of accelerator-based material science in Europe.The MAX IV Laboratory, an electron synchrotron, was inaugurated in June 2016 with a scientific program to commence shortly and the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), a spallation neutron source, is presently under construction and anticipated to be fully operational by 2022.These facilitiThe He-3 “crisis” has become a fact in the last decade and large scale neutron detectors based on He-3 technologies have become unaffordable. This new He-3 reality has resulted in a major effort worldwide to develop replacement neutron-detector technologies. Many of these technologies are in their infancy and need to be thoroughly tested before becoming mainstream, while others are approaching co
A case of bilateral nonpalpable testes is described. Ultrasonography showed no testis. Laparoscopy revealed no intraabdominal testis, vas or vessels. Human chorionic gonadotrophine test suggested the presence of testicular tissue Computed tomography showed a testis present in each inguinal canal. Inguinal exploration confirmed the finding. This case stresses the importance of careful interpretatio
Fuel cells are considered as a promising alternative environmentally benign power source to the existing ones depending on petroleum oil. Especially, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been intensively developed during the last decade because of their wide application windows including various portable, stationary and transportation applications. The market has been and will be main
