Hospital. Not a positive word. Children + Hospital. Create an even more unpleasant feeling. When you arrive to the Children´s Hospital in Lund, you enter a dark but wide corridor. A busy doctor may scurry across the fl oor and disappear behind an alarmed door. If the reception is unmanned, the grey metallic venetian blinds are closed. It is hard to understand where to go.

Europeiska centralbankens mål är att bedriva en penningpolitik med syfte att hålla inflationen under, men nära 2 % på medellång sikt. Asymmetriska inflationsförväntningar mellan länderna inom eurozonen riskerar att resultera i makroekonomisk instabilitet där enskilda länder riskerar att drabbas av en alltför expansiv, alternativt restriktiv, penningpolitik. Med utgångspunkt i Nykeynesiansk teori u

Wetland Management Programme (WMP) inom Mekongsekretariatet har identifierat satellitbildsfjärranalys som ett viktigt verktyg för att undersöka Mekongflodens våtmarker (Petersen R., Petersen L. och Lacoursière 1990). Denna studie undersöker möjligheterna till storskalig markanvändningskartering av That Luang-Salakhamvåtmarken med omgivningar i västra Laos med hjälp av digitala fjärranalysmetoder oThe Wetland Management Programme (WMP) of the Mekong Secretariat has identified satellite remote sensing as being a valuable tool in conducting surveys of Mekong riperian wetlands (Petersen R., Petersen L. and Lacoursière 1990). This study involves evaluating the feasibility of large scale land use mapping of the That Luang-Salakham wetland and surroundings, Lao PDR, using digital satellite remote

Brazil has recently become the fifth largest producer and fourth largest exporter of cotton in the world. This success story is exceptional, as the Brazilian cotton production reached record low levels in the mid-1990s. Since then however, production has more than recovered owing to an impressive growth of 43 % during the last decade, which is high in comparison to the world average of 28 %. The p

Vissa konflikter kräver omedelbar uppmärksamhet. Andra är gömda, till synes kontrollerade men olösta. Världen riskerar att vakna upp till dessa konflikter endast när det är för sent. Många konfliktområden och instabila regioner långt mindre kända är Israel och Palestina, Afganistan och Libyen lurar fortfarande som en potentiell fara för världen. Medan ödeläggande konsekvenser av krig fortfarande sSome conflicts demand urgent attention.

Numerous conflict areas and unstable regions, far less noticed than Israel and Palestine, Afghanistan, and Libya still lurks as a potential danger to the world. While the baleful consequences of war still blight societies in different w

Brain-machine interfaces are expected to play an important role in medicine – if a sustainable solution can be found – and so this study was performed to determine the biocompatibility of the photoresist SU-8 as well as a thin film needle design.This was done by histochemical staining with a collection of antibodies and mass spectrometry. The staining was performed on the perfused brains of four r

A microfluidic chip was constructed and used for monitoring chemotaxis by nematodes. It was built up by an artificial dirt array made of glass, a perforated PDMS sheet and PMMA plate for fluidic connections. The device was held together by the pressure of clamps without any chemical bonding. The artificial dirt array was tested on pine wood nematodes and Caenorhabditis elegans. The response by Cae
