Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #6 2024-06-13 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! In case you have missed it, there is a lot of elections going on. The EU elections has just been held, soon we will have the US elections and in general it just seems like there are elections happening all over the place. It is a busy political time, full of uncertainty. Which only makes, from my own humble standpo

Binding of calcium to the protein calmodulin leads to molecular reorganization that enables interaction with target peptides and activation of downstream processes. I have studied the dynamics of the calcium-loaded form of a C-terminal calmodulin mutant (E140Q-Tr2C) using NMR spin relaxation experiments. E140Q-Tr2C exhibits global conformational exchange on the microsecond time-scale. The populati
In response to a growing need for more informative forecast verification in the face of gridded verification sets, many new methods have been proposed. While widely varying in their approaches, the new methods generally fall into two ma- jor categories of filter and displacement, each of which can be further subdivided. One of the displacement approaches, a field deformation approach known as imag
1. The rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) and temperature have the potential to substantially affect the terrestrial water and energy balance by altering the stomatal conductance and transpiration of trees. 2. Many models assume decreases in stomatal conductance and plant water use under rising [CO2], which has been used as a plausible explanation for the positive g
We study deterministic algorithms for gossiping problem in ad hoc radio networks. The efficiency of communication algorithms in radio networks is very often expressed in terms of: maximum eccentricity D, maximum in-degree Δ, and size (number of nodes) n of underlying graph of connections. The maximum eccentricity D of a network is the maximum of the lengths of shortest directed paths fro
Letters and notes that expose collaboration in and between different creative networks and ethical-political theorists, governmental counsellors and personalities from 1886 to 1928 are now more accessible in the Anna Bugge Wicksell collection at the University Library of Lund. Anna Bugge Wicksell had central functions in The Neutral Conference for Continuous Mediation, after which she was co-opted
The ongoing climate change has been increasingly reflected in climate observations around the world, both in terms of averages and extremes, and attributed to anthropogenic climate forcing. When it comes to changing extremes, attribution to climate change is now especially well-established for heat-related extremes worldwide. Understanding changes in extremes is important for climate adaptation as
We reconcile dense and sparse modelling by exploiting the positive aspects of both. We employ a high-dimensional, approximate static factor model and assume the idiosyncratic term follows a sparse vector autoregressive model (VAR). The estimation is articulated in two steps: (i) factors and loadings are estimated via principal component analysis (PCA); (ii) a sparse VAR is estimated via the lasso
Background: Cataracts are the leading cause of reversible blindness globally, disproportionately affecting populations in low- and middle-income countries. In Ethiopia, cataracts remain a significant public health concern. Despite the effectiveness of cataract surgery in restoring vision, information on recovery time and its predictors remain limited. The aim of this study was to assess time to re
Background: Children aged 0–18 years who need long-term respiratory support rely on medical technology and comprehensive medical care. For this care to be provided at home, access to medical and social support and care is essential. In Sweden, the most notable form is personal care assistance (PCA), which is granted based on legislation and individual authority decisions. We aim to explore the imp
Cryogenic land surface processes (CLSPs), such as cryoturbation, are currently active in landscapes covering 25% of our planet where they dictate key functions, such as carbon (C) cycling, and maintain patterned landscape features. While CLSPs are expected to diminish in the near future due to milder winters especially in the southern parts of the Arctic, the shifts in C cycling in these landscape

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det genomgående temat i avhandlingen är hur handeln mellan den Europeiska Unionen (EU) och utvecklingsländer kan öka. Två olika policyalternativ utvärderas: så kallade handelspreferenser samt förenklingar av handelsprocedurer. Handelspreferenser innebär i sin enklaste form att höginkomstländer kräver lägre tullar på importvaror somThe main theme of the thesis is how to increase trade between the European Union (EU) and developing countries. Two available policy options are assessed: trade preferences and trade facilitation. Chapter 1 offers a broad discussion of these policies, and concludes that while trade preferences, which once dominated North-South trade relations, are at a risk of becoming obsolete, trade facilitation
In the early postwar period, improvements in life expectancy in many Western countries made health authorities, health scientists and politicians believe that social differences in mortality converged. The assumption was that inequality, when measured as death rates, was on steady decline, possibly even on the brink of disappearing. The question is then, how far back in time can social differences
We report on extending hard X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) along with resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) to study ultrafast phenomena in a pump-probe scheme at MHz repetition rates. The investigated systems include low-spin (LS) Fe-II complex compounds, where optical pulses induce a spin-state transition to their (sub)nanosecond-lived high-spin (HS) state. Time-resolved XES clearly refl
Today’s construction industry has an enormous pressure on its shoulders the request is high and the resources too low. Companies are therefore forced to reduce the time for each project, and as a result important parts for the security of the project don’t get enough time. In a short period of time a lot of things needs to be done, and by this, the risk management and the work with risk analysis d
Resolving challenges related to the sustainability of natural capital and ecosystem services is an urgent issue. No roadmap on reaching sustainability exists; and the kind of sustainable land use required in a world that acknowledges both multiple environmental boundaries and local human well-being presents a quandary. In this commentary, we argue that a new globally consistent and expandable syst
