Vårt examensarbete har handlat om att uppleva byggandet. Vi har helt själva, med enstaka hjälp av vänner och familj, och med begränsade ekonomiska medel, uppfört ett 20 kvm stort hus intill Arkitektskolan i Lund. Den centrala frågeställningen är: Hur är det att vara arkitekt och byggare samtidigt, och vad är speciellt med ett arkitektbyggt hus? Motiveringen till frågan är att utbildningen saknar Our master thesis project is about experiencing the act of building. We have all by ourselves, with occasional help from friends and family, and with limited economic resources, built a 20 m2 building besides Lund’s Architecture School. Our question formulation is: How is it to be the architect and the builder at the same time, and what is so special with a building built by an architect? We just

Bakgrund: Inom läraryrket utgör stillasittandet en stor del av arbetsdagen, en riskfaktor som kan påverka den fysiska och psykiska hälsan negativt. Självskattningsfrågor är ett kostnadseffektivt sätt att skatta stillasittande. För att kunna dra tillförlitliga slutsatser gällande en persons stillasittande från självskattningsfrågor krävs det att dessa är valida. Syfte: Syftet med undersökningen var

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th

Flyttningsmönster hos två populationer av större strandpipare beskrivet med hjälp av ljusloggrar Fågelflyttning är ett resultat av naturlig selektion och är anpassad till alla delar av en fågels liv, så som miljön den häckar i, dess byte av fjädrar och konkurrens med artfränder oh andra. Eftersom fåglar finns i nästan alla miljöer är variationen på olika sätt att flytta stor. Ibland uppstår tydliLeap-frog migration, i.e. when a northerly breeding population/species migrates further south compare to southerly breeding population/species, is a common migration pattern in birds. However, it is still unknown which factors facilitate the evolution of such a migration pattern pattern. A textbook example of a species exhibiting leap-frog migration is the Common Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med studierna i denna avhandling har i huvudsak varit att förstå funktion för de två proteinerna fibromodulin och kondroadherin och deras samspel med övriga komponenter i bindväven. Dessa två proteiner fungerar som byggstenar och tillhör en familj av proteiner lokaliserade i bindväven i den så kallade extracellulära matrisen utanför cellerna. Bindväv återfinns i Connective tissue contains a prominent extracellular matrix (ECM), which provides for physiological and mechanical properties. Intra- and inter-molecular interactions between proteins in this ECM provide for the formation of molecular networks. These interactions determine the shape of the tissue as well as cell behavior. This thesis is focused on the leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans fibromodulin

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a form of nuclear imaging, which quantitatively assesses the metabolic activity through the uptake of radioactive tracers. 18 F-fluoride is a positron-emitting isotope with high affinity for bone. Despite its potential as a non-invasive measure of bone metabolism, quantitative 18 F-fluoride PET has only been used sparsely in orthopaedic applications. It has

Historian David Lowenthal (1985) has pointed out the past is often perceived and represented as “a foreign country” in which cultural heritage is implicitly understood to be bound to geographical territories and associated notions of what it implies to have roots, an identity, and a place in which to belong. This is the paradigmatic background against which so many heritage museums have been found

Pulsatile flows in geometries of physiological relevance have been investigated. Atherosclerotic plaques are (initiated) near junctions and bifurcations in larger arteries. The flow in these regions is characterized by flow separation and unsteadiness, which indicates that local flow conditions contribute to atherogenesis. Flows in curved and bifurcating pipes have been investigated over many y

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner I varje cell i kroppen finns en kopia av vårt DNA. DNA är uppdelat i en massa gener som vart och ett innehåller en karta för uppbyggnaden av ett protein. Dessa proteiner kontrollerar nästan alla aspekter av det vi kallar liv. De transporterar syre, bygger upp vävnad, extraherar energi ur den föda vi stoppar i oss och bygger upp alla molekyler som behövs för vå

Popular Abstract in Swedish Naturliga störningsregimer är viktiga drivkrafter i vegetationsdynamiken hos de flesta skogstyper jorden runt. Att förstå de rumsliga och tidsmässiga egenskaperna i störningarna, såväl i nutid som i förfluten tid, är viktigt bl a vid utformningen av strategier för naturvård, likväl som för att kunna modellera inflytandet av klimat och människans påverkan. I denna avhandNatural disturbance is an important driving force of community dynamics in many forest types around the globe. Understanding spatial and temporal properties of disturbance events in the present and in the past is important in formulating the nature conservation strategies as well as for the modeling of climate and human impacts on forest vegetation. In this thesis I studied wind and fire disturban

Background: Osteoporosis is increasingly recognised as one of the major public health problems throughout the world and has massive socioeconomic implications. It has previously been shown that patients with severe haemophilia and not receiving any prophylactic treatment render a high risk of reduced bone density. Aims: To evaluate Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in patients with haemophilia of differ

The DO3SE (Deposition of O-3 for Stomatal Exchange) model is an established tool for estimating ozone (O-3) deposition, stomatal flux and impacts to a variety of vegetation types across Europe. It has been embedded within the EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) photochemical model to provide a policy tool capable of relating the flux-based risk of vegetation damage to O-3 precursor

Selective catalytic reduction of NOx (SCR) has been recognised as an effective post-combustion method for reducing nitrogen oxides from stationary sources. The cost of replacing the catalyst is a major part of the maintenance of the SCR system, hence it is desirable to advance methods to prolong the catalyst life. The objectives of this thesis were to investigate the extent and the mechanism of de

Popular Abstract in English The chemical industry has greatly contributed to the advancement of the human civilization. However, the side effects of this industry have become a real environmental burden. The message in this thesis is that enzymes have a great potential as catalysts for clean and sustainable processes. With three enzymes: an esterase, a lipase and a phytase, the thesis demonstratedThe use of enzymes in industrial applications has been recognised for providing clean processes with minimal impact on the environment. This thesis presents studies on engineering of enzymes and enzyme-based processes in the light of green chemistry and environmental sustainability, and focuses on three hydrolases: esterase, lipase and phytase. The use of esterase has been investigated to provide

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1900-talet har jordbruket förändrats drastiskt. Från ett småskaliga lantbruk där åkrar, ängar och betesmarker avlöste varandra, och varje gård var beroende av att både odla mat och hålla djuren med foder, till ett allt mer specialiserat jordbruk där både de enskilda gårdarna och hela regioner specialiserat sig mot antingen spannmålsproduktion eller djurhållning. OAs a consequence of agricultural intensification, large areas of non-crop habitat have been lost and farmland biodiversity has declined. Previous studies have shown that the extent of non-crop habitat influences farmland biodiversity, but the relative importance of different habitat types is less well known and the contribution of small incidental habitats to landscape-scale species richness is no

Knowledge of dynamics in protein is very important in the description of protein function and molecular recognition. The thesis investigates protein dynamics on time-scales from milli- to sub-nanosecond, with focus on the latter, using NMR spin relaxation experiments on two proteins, the 138-residue carbohydrate recognition domain of galectin-3 (Gal3C) and the 56-residue B1 domain of bacterial pro

Despite the glimmer of hope provided by the discovery and commercialization of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) as a bone graft substitute, side effects related to the use of supraphysiological doses have hindered its clinical usage. In this study, we compared the osteoinductive potential of BMP-2 homodimer with a heterodimer of BMP-2/7, both delivered via a collagen-hydroxyapatite (CHA) scaff
