Kommenterade utdrag ur generaldirektören och ecklesiastikministern Bengt Bergqvists (1860-1936) opublicerade memoarmanuskript på UB med fokus på beskrivningar av den fysiska miljön i det akademiska Lund 1879.

Klimatförändringen är en realitet som våra kritiska infrastrukturer måste anpassa sig till för att stå emot framtida hot. En analys av fem infrastrukturer – elnät, ICT, järnväg, fjärrvärme samt vatten och avlopp – visar stora skillnader i klimatanpassningsarbetet. Järnvägen har kommit längst, medan fjärrvärmen har störst behov av utveckling. Det övergripande största problemet är bristande samarbetClimate change is a reality, with no indication of slowing down or reversing. Climate change causes extreme weather to occur more intensely and frequently. This poses a significant threat to critical infrastructures, which must adapt to withstand the new conditions they are increasingly exposed to. Climate change adaptation are measures which have the purpose to lessen the negative effects of clim

Being a complement to ecosystem services (ES), geosystem services (GS) is a novel concept that helps identify and understand the contributions of the diversity of geological structures and processes of nature to human wellbeing. A pilot survey was carried out to Swedish municipalities in order to: (i) in a systematic way investigate if and how they currently approach GS in their spatial planning p

Brottsutvecklingen i Sverige har under de senaste åren föranlett utökade befogenheter i den brottsbekämpande verksamheten. Diskussionerna kring utökningar av tillämpningsområdet för preventiva tvångsmedel har varit synnerligen aktuella, och det har skett många lagändringar i vår närtid. En av de senaste lagändringarna är införandet av hemlig rumsavlyssning som ett preventivt tvångsmedel. Hemlig ruThe development of crime in Sweden in recent years has necessitated new methods in law enforcement activities. Discussions regarding the expansion of the scope of preventive coercive measures have been highly topical, and numerous legislative amendments have been made in recent times. One of the latest amendments is the introduction of secret room surveillance as a preventive coercive measure. Sec

Idrott och hälsa är ett ämne där den största delen av innehållet förmedlas muntligt, vilket gör talspråket till en avgörande faktor för elevernas förståelse och delaktighet. Den muntliga kommunikationens betydelse är särskilt relevant i klasser med stor språklig mångfald där elever med svenska som andraspråk kan ha svårt att följa instruktioner och delta fullt ut om de inte förstår det talade språ

Phospholipids are amphiphilic molecules that self-assemble into organized structures such as bilayers and vesicles when dispersed in aqueous solutions. This property in addition to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and natural abundance in high titres makes phospholipids highly attractive as formulation excipients for a wide range of biological and technical applications. However, isolatin

The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is affected by anthropogenic activities in Swedish waters, and the individuals found in the Öresund belong to the Belt Sea population, which is classified as ´vulnerable´. Boat traffic is known to have a negative impact on porpoises. Behavioural responses to such disturbances are context-dependent, and locally specific knowledge is needed for effective mana

The 19th century in Europe was marked by major changes in the clothing supply of households. The availability of new textile materials changed the conditions for consumption and possession of clothing. Much more garments came to be made from purchased and imported fabrics, people’s wardrobes grew in volume, and cotton became an increasingly common and everyday commodity. Though it is well known th

As many arthropods, telecoprid dung beetles are deeply affected by anthropogenic pressures, including the extensive use of pesticides. Ivermectin, the main endectocide employed to treat livestock nowadays, drives population and species loss, and causes locomotion and sensory disorders in dung beetles. Imidacloprid, the major insecticide used to combat crop pests, is highly toxic towards pollinator

Bumblebees are essential pollinators, sustaining ecosystem balance and aiding crop pollination. A comprehensive understanding of their foraging ecology is therefore crucial. We studied the influence of life-history traits of individual Bombus terrestris on wing wear and its foraging patterns. Wing wear is clearly a widespread phenomenon observed in all flying insects. Wing integrity has consequenc

Background: Whether dairy intake is related to type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear, as does potential metabolic mechanisms for this association. Objectives: We aimed to examine the association between high dairy intake and risk of T2D and identify plasma metabolites reflecting dairy intake. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 26,461 Swedish individuals recruited between 1991 and 1996

An additional upsurge in bacterial STIs has been observed in Sweden following HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) implementation. From a prevention perspective, it is of relevance to optimize testing strategies within PrEP programmes to identify those most at risk. An open retrospective longitudinal observational cohort study was performed at three STI clinics in Uppsala, Gothenburg, and Malmö. A

This study scans six decades of film history in search for video images, the imaginaries within which they are framed, and (taking cues from the archaeological methods of Friedrich Kittler and Michel Foucault) their technical, historical, and institutional conditions of existence. The British experimental science fiction film Anti-Clock (Jane Arden and Jack Bond, 1979) revolves around a video devi

Objects smuggled out of Nazi concentration camps and brought to Sweden by liberated prisoners have been valued museum objects in Sweden for almost 60 years. They and the written testimonies given by survivors represent not only the suffering experienced by the Nazis’ victims and their resistance against dehumanization but also how these aspects of the Second World War and the Holocaust were cultur
