Almost all life on Earth depends on the products of photosynthesis — the biochemical process whereby solar energy is stored as chemical-rich compounds. The energy of captured photons is transferred through a network of pigment-protein complexes towards the reaction center. The reaction center is responsible for trans-membrane charge separation, which generates a proton motive force which drives al

Vi studerar blod- och immunsystemet och dess sjukdomar. Ett särskilt fokusområde är hur medfödd genetisk variation påverkar hur blod- och immunceller, och hur sådan variation kan utnyttjas kliniskt. Vilka gener och genmutationer styr t ex risken för blodcancer? Kan vi utnyttja dem för att förebygga och behandla? Vilka styr vår blodgruppsuppsättning? Kan vi utnyttja dem för säkrare transfusion? EttWe study the blood and immune system and its diseases. A particular focus area is how congenital genetic variation affects blood and immune cells, and how such variation can be utilized clinically. Which genes and gene mutations control, for example, the risk of blood cancer? Can we use them to prevent and treat? Who controls our blood group set? Can we use them for safer transfusion? Another impo
Institutionen för arkeologi och antikens historia bedriver forskning och utbildning inom fyra ämnen – antikens kultur och samhällsliv, arkeologi, historisk arkeologi och historisk osteologi. Institutionen har funnits i olika former vid Lunds universitet sedan 1805 men fick sin nuvarande sammansättning 2001. Sedan 2016 rymmer institutionen även Laboratoriet för digital arkeologi (DARKLab), en infraThe Department of Archaeology and Ancient History conducts research and education in four subjects – Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, Archaeology, Historical Archaeology and Historical Osteology. The department has existed in various forms at Lund University since 1805 but was given its current composition in 2001. Since 2016, the department also houses the Laboratory for Digital Archaeo
Enheten för kognitiv sjukdomsforskning är en translationell forskargrupp med fokus på neurodegenerativa och neuropsykiatriska sjukdomar såsom Alzheimers sjukdom, demens med Lewy-kroppar, Parkinsons sjukdom, frontallobsdemens och depression. Vår forskning är patientnära, vilket möjliggörs då gruppen består av neurobiologer, läkare, statistiker, farmaceuter, sjuksköterskor, fysio- och arbetsterapeutCognitive disorder research unit is a translational research group focusing on neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinsons disease, Frontal lobe dementia and Major depression. Our approach is strongly patient-oriented, which is strengthen by our wide variety of professional backgrounds including neurobiologists, physicians, st
The complement system is old, yet it may still have something new to teach us. For many years, research has existed which shows that C3d, in addition to its established role as an adjuvant, could have an immunosuppressive activity. Being true, it suggests that a common mechanism may be used both by organisms and by their pathogens to prevent unwanted immune responses.
This study aims to answer two research questions with focus in Sida’s International Training Program: Child rights, classroom and school management, the two questions regard the knowledge transfer process. The first one focuses on how the participants of the program express knowledge and knowledge transfer and the second one highlights what contextual factors that affect the processes on three dif
The role of hybridization in evolution has been debated for more than a century regarding bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) as well as most other organisms. Bryophytes have haplodiplontic life cycles with a dominant haploid generation. Hybridization in bryophytes involves fusion of gametes produced by haploid parental gametophytes of different species. The hybrid is thus the short-liv
Intonation som färg – Folkmusikens variabla intonation på trombon I denna kandidatuppsats beskrivs ett utforskande av folkmusik med variabel intonation med instrumentet trombon som verktyg. Arbetet, som sker i övningsrummet och följs genom en loggbok, utforskar olika metoder för att lära sig uppförandepraxis både av flera mikrotonala intervall för sig och av faktiska låtar ur den äldre svenska folColouring with intonation – variable intonation of Swedish folk music on the trombone In this bachelor's thesis, an exploration of folk music with variable intonation with the instrument trombone as a tool is described. Using a diary to follow the practice sessions, the project explores different methods to learn performance practice of the microtonal intervals themselves and of actual tunes f
This article is concerned with the historical evolution of the mining industry in Canada since 1859. The focus is directed on changes that occurred in the industry and allows for the identification of four distinct mining regimes. These regimes are defined using the Regulation Theory, which connects conditions of production, technical progress, financial structures, and social relations. The ident

Näthinnan (Retina) är en del av det centrala nervsystemet och består till största delen av specialiserade nervceller. Vid degenerativ näthinnesjukdom, t.ex retinitis pigmentosa, åldersrelaterad makuladegeneration, näthinneavlossning och glaukom förstörs nervceller vilket resulterar i idag icke behandlingsbar synnedsättning. Traditionellt undersöks ofta sjukdom och behandling inom CNS experimentellTraditionally, experimental neuronal research is conducted on single cells after disruption of the tissue. A more pertinent approach to the complex CNS is to consider cells, extracellular matrix, and cell junctions as a tissue continuum through which mechanical and biochemical information is bidirectionally communicated. Our research is focused on retinal cell interactions in health and disease, a
Att insjukna i en reumatisk ledsjukdom innebär betydande förändringar i livet, särskilt när det sker under barndomen eller ungdomen. Vår forskning omfattar flera reumatiska och inflammatoriska tillstånd, med särskilt fokus på juvenil idiopatisk artrit (JIA), men även andra sjukdomar som Kawasakis sjukdom och MIS-C (hyperinflammation efter COVID-19-infektion).

Avdelningen består av etnologi (se ämnesbeskrivning nedan)The research in ethnology has two primary orientations, both of which work with historical as well as contemporary perspectives. The first orientation focuses on practices of everyday life – that is to say the study of what people do in their daily lives and how such activities constitute the grounds for different cultural patters of thought and societal values. Research in this area of study prob
