This article is concerned with how we make decisions based on how problems are presented to us and the effect that the framing of the problem might have on our choices. Current philosophical and psychological accounts of the framing effect in experiments such as the Asian Disease Problem (ADP) concern reference points and domains (gains and losses). We question the importance of reference points a

This study analyses the effect of pictures in reading materials on the viewing patterns of dyslexic adults. By analysing viewing patterns using eye-tracking, we captured differences in eye movements between young adults with dyslexia and controls based on the influence of reading skill as a continuous variable of the total sample. Both types of participants were assigned randomly to view either te

The paper presents results from a comparative study of selected biological and technical functions for thermal adaptability, which are based on an extensive literature review in biology and façade engineering. Several selected biological role models have been analysed in detail to identify their principles for dealing with thermal adaptation. These principles have been further abstracted through s

Host of Sessions for two topics in the field of "Resource efficiency as follow up to energy efficiency, resource-friendly construction // : - Removable facade - Resource Access Concepts (Prof. Dr Linda Hildebrand, Max Ernst, M. A., RWTH Aachen, Faculty of Architecture)- Acoustically effective facades - How do we want to live? Acoustic building envelope and welfare in urban context (Dipl.-Ing. Joch

The public conference lecture is about how biomimetics contributed to the built environment if imagining a scenario of "It's now 2050". The lecture gives ideas and inspiration on how the understanding of biological processes and the abilities for transfer allows society to develop intelligent, interactive buildings that are truly sustainable. These buildings shall respond to local needs and condit

Adaptability of facades is often conceived as a performative objective, and less as a formal objective. Hence, so-called ‘adaptive’ façade systems are highly engineered solutions that autonomously control the energy flow via highly-efficient materials, integrated technical devices and intelligent automation systems. As the design complexity and operation challenges of such façade systems are subst

An assemblage of the burrowing ghost shrimp, Protocallianassa faujasi, is described, providing the first evidence of this decapod species from Sweden. The fossils occur in successions of the informal earliest late Campanian Belemnellocamax balsvikensis zone at Åsen and the latest early Campanian B. mammillatus zone at Ivö Klack, both in the Kristianstad Basin of NE Skåne. Numerous, heavily calcifi

Med en enkätstudie undersöks i detta projekt hur effektivt de berörda anser att de medieetiska systemen ger upprättelse. Här är det värt att nämna att vi då arbetet inleddes bad PO-kansliet om hjälp att distribuera vår enkät till alla dem som stod bakom framgångsrika anmälningar under 2015. På så sätt skulle enkäten kunna genomföras samtidigt som anonymiteten i PO-systemet kunde

Denna debattartikel argumenterar för att socialt arbete och socialtjänst behöver utvecklas i förhållande till digitalisering. Som ett led i ett samarbetsprojekt mellan Lunds universitet och Helsingborg stad, finansierat av både Vinnova och Helsingborg stad, skriver företrädare för både universitet och stad en debattartikel i DN. Hur kan socialtjänsten utvecklas med hjälp av digitalisering - nu och

Recent research on the process of biological phosphorus removal in lab-scale treatment systems has indicated that: (i) the development of an actively poly?-accumulating bacterial community after the introduction of an anaerobic period may take at least 4 months; (ii) up to 80% of all aerobic bacteria isolated from these communities are able to accumulate polyP; (iii) polyP synthesized by the bacte

Most of the genes encoding the enzymes involved in polyP synthesis and degradation and in phosphate transport have been studied in various Gram-negative bacteria. Progress has also been made in studying the biochemicalmechanisms underlying the process of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR), in particular in lab-scale systems fed with acetate or acetate plus glucose as the sole carbon and

In the light of the environmental challenges society is facing it is important thatboth products and their packaging systems are optimised from an environmental perspective. Previous research highlights that environmental optimisation of packaging requires an integrated assessment of product and packaging together.Theory on green packaging development (GPD) is comprehensive and there areexamples o

Although a diverse range of aquatic vertebrates are documented from the Upper Cretaceous (mid-Campanian) marine strata of the Kristianstad Basin in southern Sweden, only chondrichthyans and marine amniotes have been described in detail to date. In contrast, coeval actinopterygians are virtually unreported, yet their remains are extremely abundant at most sampled localities. A comprehensive assessm

During the course of this three-year project, we have studied aeolian deposits at 70 sites within sixteen areas in south-central Sweden. Inland dunes have been the focus, but some sites with coversand and coastal dunes have also been investigated. We have mapped dune morphology, mainly by LiDAR-based remote sensing, studied the internal sediment architecture by ground-penetrating radar profiling a

Mesozoic dinosaur fossils are exceptionally rare in Scandinavia. The Swedish record is typically depauperate, with the Kristianstad Basin of SkÅne (Scania) yielding all of the known fossils from Swedish Cretaceous strata. Although highly fragmentary, these body remnants are important because they provide evidence of a relatively diverse fauna, including previously recognized hesperornithiform bird

The paper gives a general discussion on methods and theories used for strength analyses of wood and wood-based products. The main aim is to discuss in general terms the benefits gained from using design approaches based on rational and scientifically sound theories. The paper presents mainly fracture mechanics theory but also other advanced modelling techniques and examples from using advanced mea
