Building on the base of the existing telescopes of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and ALMA, the next-generation EHT (ngEHT) aspires to deploy ∼10 more stations. The ngEHT targets an angular resolution of ∼15 microarcseconds. This resolution is achieved using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at the shortest radio wavelengths ∼1 mm. The Submillimeter Array (SMA) is both a standalone radio
One of the core pathological features of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the loss of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway which lies at the heart of many of the motor features of this condition as well as some of the cognitive problems. The importance of this pathological event is evident through the clinical benefits that are seen when patients with PD are treated with dopaminergic agents, at least
With the launch of Gaia in December 2013, Europe entered a new era of space astrometry following in the footsteps of the very successful Hipparcos mission. A weakness of Gaia is that it only operates at optical wavelengths. However, much of the Galactic centre and the spiral arm regions are obscured by interstellar extinction. An obvious improvement on Gaia is to include the Near-Infra-Red (NIR) w
Every aspect of modern life is dominated by decision-making and the availability of data. We constantly access, process and evaluate data as we navigate complex and uncertain problem spaces. Communication and Information Technologies (ICTs) have developed to a point where it is possible for very large data sets, measured in Exabyte, to be stored across many servers and gathered by many different p
This article presents the results of a study of invectives in 45 Swedish theatre plays from the period 1700–2000. The purpose of the study is to discuss who uses invectives, with respect to gender, class, and age, and what functions such expressions fill in the dialogues, as well as how the use of invectives has changed over time. Situations of conflict are interesting from a language-point of vie
This paper revisits the clay mineralogy of the “smectite” alteration zone in the Krafla geothermal field via the study of an exploratory well in which temperatures range from 40 °C to 215 °C. The clay alteration consists of several mineral assemblages superimposed in time and space, resulting from different stages of water-rock interaction. Trioctahedral clay minerals (chlorite, cor-rensite and sm
Software acquisition is very important for any type of company nowadays, including start-up companies. This study examined which software applications are acquired by start-ups, in what ways, with what motivations, and for what purposes they are used. The study was done by first conducting a survey amongst 50 start-up companies in the Netherlands and Sweden and by then doing four follow-up intervi
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a broad area of management study and practice that has become increasingly important for business practitioners and academics alike. While the majority of authors who have written on the subject, including ourselves, are proponents of CSR in general, there is an emerging viewpoint that it is simply not enough for corporations to singlehandedly address CSR t
Bike sharing systems can be found in an ever-increasing number of cities around the world. In many of these cities, bike sharing system have been very successful. In Lund, one of the objectives of the bike sharing system, Lundahoj, was to get car commuters to change travel mode to bike sharing in combination with public transport and thus decrease the emission of green house gases. The aim of this
Ny version av miljöledningssystem som påverka stora delar av världen! Tänk om alla företag med miljöledningssystem enligt ISO 14001 inte klarar av implementeringen till den nya versionen av standarden för att de inte vet skillnaderna mellan den nuvarande- och nya versionen, vad skulle det innebära för miljön? Internationella organisationen för standardisering (ISO) har tagit fram en ny version aISO 14001 is the most commonly used international standards for implementation of environmental management systems and is embraced by businesses for managing environmental issues. A new revision of the ISO 14001 standard was introduced 2015. Companies that have been certified according to the older version of the standard have three (3) years to adapt to the new version of the standard to maintain
De narkotikarelaterade dödsfallen i Sverige är näst högst per capita i hela EU. Samtidigt har Sverige en väldigt strikt strafflagstiftning gällande just narkotikabrott. Oavsett om det här är ett samband eller inte väcker det många frågor om hur lagstiftningen egentligen fungerar. I den här undersökningen utreds hur det paternalistiska inslaget i den svenska narkotikalagstiftningen har konstrueratsThe number of drug related deaths in Sweden is second to worst in all of EU. The legislation on drug related crimes is simultaneously very strict. This certainly raises some questions regarding the legislation, regardless of whether there is an actual correspondence between these two facts. This essay will focus on the construction and justification of the paternalistic element in the Swedish drug
Antikroppar är en del av kroppens egna försvar mot främmande ämnen, såsom mikroorganismer, virus, bakterier och parasiter. De används för att upptäcka och identifiera dessa ämnen och gör så genom att interagera med specifika molekyler, antikroppens antigener, som finns närvarande på ämnets yta. När antikroppen identifierat och satt sig på ytan kan vita blodkroppar och komplementproteiner elimineraThe possibilities with monoclonal antibodies to be used as drugs against several diseases is of great interest to many pharmaceutical companies. However, efficient production is hindered by advanced and difficult purification steps in the downstream processing. Chromatographic systems have proven to be a powerful methodology promoting high purity, nevertheless associated with high costs. Therefore
This study explores the potential of new building insulation material specifically wood wool in Bhutanese Buildings. To cover social and performance-related aspects a quantitative and semi-structured qualitative interview study about the perception of current construction quality and methods and new building materials was conducted as well as a simulation study with different renovation scenarios.
Forskning vid Lunds Universitet har lett till nanotrådar som odlas i tunna aluminium-membran, vilket gör trådarna betydligt mer motståndskraftiga mot fukt, värme och annat som kan skada dem. Detta projekt utnyttjar röntgenstrålars interaktioner med materia för att studera hur trådarna växer med målet att informera framtida forskning. Alltsedan Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen upptäckte röntgenstrålar år 189The past decade has seen a great interest in the development of metal halide perovskite materials for use in photo-optical devices, due to the excellent photo-optical properties of these materials. The primary limitation to industrial adoption, and the subject of much research, is the susceptibility of these materials to degradation from exposure to various factors such as air, heat and moisture.
This is the report of a thesis work about controlling an autonomous wheel loader. The objective of the work was to create a complete prototype of an autonomous wheel loader that can operate without any seated driver and without any kind of remote controlling. Another important objective was that this prototype needs to support future development of the autonomous wheel loader. The work was complet
Vid tiden för riksdagen 1809-1810 befann sig riket Sverige i kaos. Landets kung hade blivit avsatt samtidigt som de var i krig med både Ryssland och Frankrike. Samtidigt började nya idéer och tankar om reformer cirkulera i samhället. Bondeståndet reflekterade avundsamt kring adel- och prästeståndens privilegier som gav dessa skattelättnader, medan bönderna själva i stort sett saknade möjligheter tThe situation in Sweden was chaotic when the Swedish parliament assembled in 1809-1810. They were at war with Russia and France and had no king to lead them to neither victory nor peace. At the same time new ideas formed and thoughts of reformation circulated among the people. The peasantry contemplated their unprivileged state compared to the nobility and the clergy. They had to pay more taxes an
The general goal of the Swedish drug policy is to create a society free from narcotics. The government aims to reach this goal with a restrictive policy where consumption of narcotics is illegal, which is very uncommon in democratic countries. This policy has in later years been criticized due to the high number of deaths related to drug use in Sweden and little has been done by the government to
