Profilområdets forskning bidrar till att förbättra människans hälsa och lösa utmaningar inom sjukvården. Detta görs genom att utveckla och tillhandahålla nya verktyg för diagnostik, behandlingar och hemvårdslösningar.The profile area's research contributes to improving human health and solving challenges in healthcare by developing and providing new tools for diagnostics, treatments, and home care solutions.

Submicron sized sensors could allow higher resolution in X-ray imaging and diffraction measurements, which are ubiquitous for materials science and medicine. We present electrical measurements of a single 100 nm diameter InP nanowire transistor exposed to hard X-rays. The X-ray induced conductance is over 5 orders of magnitude larger than expected from reported data for X-ray absorption and carrie

Neutron macromolecular crystallography (NMX) is a complementary technique to X-ray crystallography leveraging neutron scattering properties of the hydrogen isotope deuterium (2H). Production of deuterium labelled molecules together with large crystal requirements for neutron crystallography are few of several bottlenecks limiting implementation of this technique for a wider range of proteins. Perd

This chapter examines the response of five prominent Swedish economists, David Davidson, Gustav Cassel, Eli Heckscher, Knut Wicksell and Bertil Ohlin, to John Maynard Keynes’s The Economic Consequences of the Peace and to the German reparations in the 1920s. When Keynes’s book appeared, Davidson and Cassel strongly endorsed it. Heckscher also agreed with Keynes in a long review entitled “Too Bad t

Forskningen fokuserar på prekonceptionell hälsa, psykisk ohälsa, förlossningsrädsla, födande och förebyggande av bristningar, postpartumvård och amning samt pedagogik inom barnmorskeprogrammet. Våra forskningsfrågor utgår från barnmorskans profession med fokus på vården före, i samband med och efter barnafödande. Barnmorskans verksamhetsområde innehåller hälsofrämjande arbete och prevention genoThe research in our group focuses on pre-conception care, mental health, fear of birth, the birth process, prevention of perineal tears, post-partum care and breastfeeding. Pedagogical aspects within midwifery training are also studied. Our research questions stem from the midwifery profession, focusing on care provide before, during and after pregnancy. Midwifery encompasses health promotion be

Diagnostik av cancer avseende typ och ursprung är tillsammans med hur avancerad cancern är och om vissa särskilda tumöregenskaper föreligger de viktigaste faktorerna för val av behandling. Cancer diagnostiseras i de flesta fall med hjälp av mikroskop. Cancer i lunga kan vara svårdiagnostiserad då man ofta har tillgång till begränsad mängd vävnad från provtagning från tumören, och immunhistokemiskaDiagnostics of cancer concerning type and origin is, together with cancer stage and some specific tumor characteristics, the most important factors for treatment selection. Most cancers are diagnosed using a microscope. Pulmonary cancers may be tricky to diagnose as there is often limited tissue to examine from the tumor sampling, and immunohistochemical analyses are often necessary for subtyping

Forskningsservice ger hjälp och stöd åt forskare, forskargrupper, administratörer och universitets- och områdesledningar i frågor om extern forskningsfinansiering, universitetsövergripande forskningskommunikation samt utbildning på forskarnivå. Vi har särskilt ansvar för EU:s ramprogram för forskning, amerikanska statliga finansiärer samt vissa svenska finansiärer. Mer information finns på medaResearch Services provides specialist support in research funding and career advice for researchers. We work with researchers, administrators as well as management of all levels within the department’s various areas of operation. Based on the University´s priorities, we offer tailored support to researchers in their work on research applications. We also work with quality assurance, external monit

Forskningspolitik är en del av det bredare fältet ”forskning om forskning” (Science and Technology Studies) och policystudier. Det är ett tvärvetenskapligt område som studerar styrning och ledning av privat och offentlig forskning samt innovation. Detta kan inbegripa anslagspolitik, ledning och organisering av forsknings- och innovationsmiljöer, utvärdering av forskning, vetenskapliga prioriteringResearch policy is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the study of the management and governance of research and innovation. Research policy is located at the intersection between Science and Technology Studies (STS) and policy studies. Research in research policy focuses on, among other issues: analysis of funding instruments and their impacts on knowledge production; prioritization and eval

Yttrandefriheten har en framträdande roll i det svenska demokratiska samhället, men begränsas genom vissa inskränkningsmöjligheter. En av dessa utgörs av brottet hets mot folkgrupp som syftar till att skydda utsatta grupper från hot och kränkningar. När detta ändamål möter yttrandefrihetens starka ställning uppstår svåra frågor. Var går egentligen gränsen mellan sakligt befogad kritik och straffbaThe freedom of speech plays a prominent role in the Swedish democratic society, but is limited by certain restrictions. One of these restrictions is the offense of agitation against an ethnic group, which aims to protect vulnerable groups from threats and insults. When this purpose clashes with the strong position of freedom of speech, difficult questions arise. Where do we really draw the line be

Atmospheric aerosols are a highly complex and dynamic mixture of solid particles, liquid deplots and gases. They travel across the continents and affect global climate and human health in various ways, often negatively. One important aspect of research in atmospheric aerosols is the investigation of emissions to the atmosphere from various sources. Emission markers are compounds unique to their so

Anaerobic digestion provides an array of positive environmental benefits such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, replacing mineral fertilizers, producing renewable energy and treating waste. However, pitfalls in anaerobic digestion such as poor methane yields, process instability, process failure and regional shortages of feedstock have limited the full exploitation of the anaerobic digestion p
