Universitetskanslerämbetet (UKÄ) ställer numera krav på svenska lärosäten att vi ska utvärdera oss själva. Vi på LTH bör då gemensamt försöka hitta sätt att uppfylla UKÄs krav som även ger de verktyg vi själva behöver för att förbättra våra utbildningars kvalitét.Hur tar vi reda på våra utbildningars styrkor och svagheter och vad vi kan göra för att förbättra dem ytterligare? Ett sätt är att under
För att lära sig programmera måste studenterna själva vara aktiva och öva programmering på dator. Med ett omfattande kursinnehåll går det av resursskälinte att göra all nödvändig övning obligatorisk därför har vi digitaliserat övningsuppgifter som tidigare varit på papper i ett försök att få studenterna att göra fler övningar på med en mer aktiv approach.Försöken har mottagits väl och en majoritet
Även om det är ytterst få av den undervisande personalen på Lunds tekniska högskola som medvetet skulle göra skillnad på kvinnliga respektive manliga studenter så förekommer det ändå. Det finns alltid en risk att undermedvetet ge fördelar/nackdelar av olika slag till olika grupper av studenter. För att undersöka detta gjordes en kvantitativ bedömning av kommunikationen mellan olika studentgrupper
Although international students are allowed to study at Swedish universities since 1985, the Swedish university landscape has undergone a strategic internationalization mainly during the recent few years. With a steadily growing number of international master programs and thereby more international students being part of the Swedish education system, a variety of problems related to cultural-diver
Läsåret 2013/14 skulle grundkursen i kemisk reaktionsteknik vid LTH omarbetas. Kontakt togs med lärare på Chalmers för att diskutera deras erfarenheter av undervisning i ämnet och den lärobok som var i åtanke för den nya kursen. Diskussionen ledde fram till ett konkret samarbete genom att vi beslöt att skapa en gemensam mapp för undervisningsmaterial på "molntjänsten" Box. Under det senaste läsåre
Background: The differential diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Lewy body disorders, which include Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, is often challenging due to the overlapping symptoms. Purpose: To develop a diagnostic tool based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to distinguish between PSP and Lewy body disorders at the individual-subject level. Materials and Met
Volcanic emissions can significantly affect the Earth's radiation budget by emitting aerosol particles and gas-phase species that can result in the new particle formation (NPF). These particles can scatter solar radiation or modify cloud properties, with consequences on health, weather, and climate. To our knowledge, this is the first dedicated study detailing how gas-phase precursors emitted from
Deuterium isotope labelling is important for structural biology methods such as neutron protein crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance and small angle neutron scattering studies of proteins. Deuterium is a natural low abundance stable hydrogen isotope that in high concentrations negatively affect growth of cells. The generation time for Escherichia coli K-12 in deuterated medium is substantia
Increasing interdependencies between critical infrastructures have made these systems more effective, but also more susceptible to cascading failures. In order to reduce the likelihood and consequences of cascading failures, it is essential to develop tools that support incident commander decisions so that an initial failure does not spread to other infrastructures. Here, a framework for generatin
Myocardin (MYOCD) is a critical regulator of smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation, but its transcriptional targets remain to be exhaustively characterized, especially at the protein level. Here we leveraged human RNA and protein expression data to identify novel potential MYOCD targets. Using correlation analyses we found several targets that we could confirm at the protein level, including SO
Rhythmic behaviors (in short RBs), such as applauding, dancing or rocking a baby to sleep are part of humans everyday life. Recently there has been a growing interest in the RBs of other species, as a way of tracking the evolutionary roots of human musicality. RBs have been initially studied in arthropods, insects, anurans and songbirds, where a single behaviour is tied to reproductive function. E
This paper presents a method for increased individual and collective student learning called Working Seminar. The method is based on the assumption that groups with a common base of knowledge increase both the group results and the individual learning. The method has been developed and tested in three courses and the results of student projects and the individual comments from students during and
OBJECTIVE To better understand potential facilitators of individual engagement in type 1 diabetes natural history and prevention studies through analysis of enrollment data in the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention (PTP) study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used multivariable logistic regression models to examine continued engagement of eligible participants at two time points: 1) the return visit af
