Lund University
Upon the visit of our research delegation, Lund University and His Excellency the Ambassador of Sweden to Brazil, Mr Magnus Robach, hereby cordially invite you to a seminar dedicated to Swedish research on 5 December 2012 in So Paulo.
We are honoured to visit Brazil and present the latest research from Lund University. We hope for a fruitful exchange amongst researchers, the general public, decision makers, corporate organisations, as well as former and future students of Lund University and reserachers, professors and students from universities in Brazil.
5 December 2012
13:30 - 18:00 followed by mingle
Maksoud Plaza Hotel, Alameda Campinas, 150, Bela Vista - So Paulo
Agenda
13:30 Welcome
His Excellency the Ambassador of Sweden to Brazil, Mr Magnus Robach, opens the seminar and greets welcome.
13:50 Presentation of Sweden and Lund University
14:15 Biologically active secondary metabolites
Professor of Chemistry and the Dean of the Faculty of Science, Olov Sterner, will present research on biologically active natural products. These are traditional starting points for the development of drug candidates, and a few examples of how his research group has developed plant and fungal metabolites so potentially useful compounds will be given. The projects involve natural product chemistry, organic synthesis and computational chemistry, as well as collaborations with biologists in order to characterize the biological activities.
14:45 Possibilities and challenges in a future bio-economy
Ph.D Anna Ekman will in this presentation discuss two major topics; the first one relates to bio-based chemicals and whether these always are better for the environment than conventional chemicals based on fossil raw materials. The second topic relates to how the bio refineries in which the bio-based chemicals are produced can be integrated with the infrastructure and in the society.
15:15 Coffee break
15:30 Packaging logistics for sustainable development
Jose Alcides Gobbo, Associate Professor at So Paulo State University and Visiting Professor at Packaging Logistics Lund University, will present the importance of regarding packaging and logistics as integrated systems in order to contribute to sustainable development and thus a sustainable society.
16:00 Urban transport policies, examples from the European Arena
Associate Professor, Lena Hiselius, will in this presentation discuss public transport, mobility management, and traffic planning as well as transport politics from a Swedish and European perspective. The presentation will have a focus on the implementation of car reducing measures and how these measures are perceived by the public. The National Public Transport center in Sweden (located in Lund) will also be presented.
16:30 Climate-conscious urban design in different climates
Erik Johansson from the Dept. of Architecture and Built Environment will in this presentation discuss how urban design and vegetation can be used in order to achieve a more comfortable microclimate. Examples will be shown from Brazil, Ecuador and Sweden.
17:00 Bacia do Rio Grande: A suggestion for river management to avoid "apages" and the impact of the expansion of sugar-cane plantation
Professor Cintia Bertacchi Uvo, whom originates from So Paulo herself, will present two of her research topics closely related to the Brazilian reality. The first is the performance of long-term hydrological forecast for some of the major Brazilian river basins. Such a forecast is of key importance for the management of hydro power production for avoiding "apages". The second topic is related to the impact of the expansion of sugar-cane plantations on the Rio Grande basin. How the expansion has happened, and what would be the impact for the hydrology in case the plantation scenario suggested by EMBRAPA is implemented.
17:30 MAX IV Laboratory -the world's most brilliant synchrotron radiation source
Yngve Cerenius, Project Coordinator and Industrial Liaison Officer at the MAX IV Laboratory. Two state of the art large scale multi-science research facilities will in Lund form a new hub in northern Europe for advanced photon- and neutron based research within a broad spectrum of disciplines including materials science, life science and structural biology, nano-science and technology, condensed matter physics, chemistry, energy technology, geology, and environmental sciences. When MAX IV will go into operation in 2016, it be the world's most brilliant synchrotron radiation source. Towards the end of this decade the neighbouring European Spallation Source will be the world's leading facility for research using neutrons.
18:00 Mingle

Redfield said he didn?t get to talk with the coaches too much, because he was busy preparing for and playing in a 91-33 win over North Torrance. But Kelly and Denbrock did visit with Redfield?s mother, stepdad and younger brother before the game.
?My mom said that she liked them both a lot and could tell that they?re really genuine and nice guys,? Redfield said.
?They reiterated all the things that I?d be getting if I went there and how I?d be involved with the team and where I fit in. My parents were pretty impressed.?
Redfield officially visited Notre Dame in October for the Stanford game with a verbal commitment to USC, and has since rescinded his commitment and turned his attention to the Irish, Washington and Oregon.
The 6-foot-3, 195-pound prospect visited Washington on Nov. 9 and has yet to set a visit to Oregon.
Redfield ranks as a four-star prospect with most recruiting services slating him as a top five safety and a top 50 player overall.

By Tommy Wilkes and Laurence Fletcher
LONDON (Reuters) ? For a few hedge funds, Greek debt is turning into one of the trades of the year.
News that Athens ? backed by euro zone ministers and the International Monetary Fund ? will buy back some its own debt from private investors sets a floor under the price of its bonds, handing many who picked them up at rock-bottom levels big gains.
The funds ? which include Daniel Loeb?s Third Point ? have spent months building up positions in the debt-beleaguered country?s bonds, rightly betting that their price would rise as the risk of a Greek exit from the euro zone receded.
Some have already banked profits from that bet, but indications Athens will target a cost of around 35 cents on the euro in its buyback plan, if successful, is a boon for those still holding the bonds.
?This is very positive and a huge step forward,? Achilles Risvas, chief executive officer of hedge fund Dromeus Capital said. ?The probability of a Grexit has decreased significantly.?
Risvas owns Greek bonds currently trading at 28.5 cents on the euro, bonds he bought at 18 and 19 cents.
Hedge funds ? secretive funds that can bet on rising or falling prices in a wide range of markets ? have often played a controversial role in government bond markets.
Many have attracted criticism for betting against the fortunes of European countries ? including Greece ? during the euro zone debt crisis, and prompting Europe to ban ?naked? short-selling of sovereign credit default swaps (CDS), a product that insures the buyer against default.
For most funds their current Greek debt holdings represent a relatively small position of their portfolios, although the gains can be large.
Others are sitting on even bigger gains.
Third Point, a $9.3 billion hedge fund run out of New York, said in a regulatory statement earlier this month Greek government bonds were one of its top five ?Winners? in October.
The fund had bought the bonds for about 17 cents, Loeb told investors in an October 3 letter seen by Reuters.
London-based hedge fund Adelante Asset Management first bought Greek bonds at 12.5 cents. It has sold part of the position, making a 70 percent gain, but CEO Julian Adams said it still has a holding and described the deal as a ?good? one.
Adams said the trade was by no means over. ?Now the country has a chance to go forward on a more sustainable footing? Plus with all the relief they are getting and the cash you should start to get some growth.?
POKER GAME
Euro zone finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed on Monday to cut Greece?s towering debt pile by 40 billion euros ($51.72 billion), cutting it to 124 percent of gross domestic product by 2020.
Importantly, ministers also committed to taking further steps to lower Greece?s debt ?significantly below 110 percent? in 2022 ? a veiled acknowledgment that some write-off of loans may be necessary from 2016.
Athens is yet to give details of the debt buyback ? to avoid giving hedge funds an opportunity to push up prices ? but one proposal is to borrow 10 billion euros from the euro zone?s rescue fund.
This would allow Greece to buy around 30 billion euros worth of bonds, cutting its outstanding obligations by around 20 billion euros.
However, the buyback will only work if enough investors agree to sell their bonds ? by no means guaranteed. Some may prefer to stay out of the deal in the hope that others accept the buyback, cutting Greece?s debt and boosting the value of their own bonds.
?Every bondholder will be aware that if they were the only one not to participate then default probabilities plummet, and we think the strip could be valued at around 50 (cents on the euro),? Gabriel Sterne, an economist at Exotix, wrote in a research note.
Dromeus? Risvas said a price of 35 cents was unlikely to encourage him to participate, but that the plan was still positive because it sets a floor to the price and ? depending on the buyback?s size ? it could boost bond prices further.
?It?s like a poker game. You need to understand what everyone else is going to do first,? he said, noting that much depends on how the government proceeds with the buyback.
Using a Dutch auction ? where the price is set after taking in all bids and determining the highest price at which enough investors accept a total buyback ? is likely to elicit more success than a single across-the-board price, Risvas said.
But while markets and hedge funds reacted positively to the plan, huge risks remain and mainstream investors are still cautious about buying into the debt of a country stuck in the depths of a five year long recession.
?You can flip a coin and you might make some money. But other than for hedge funds?it?s very difficult for us to play it,? said Richard Cookson, Global Chief Investment Officer at Citi Private Bank, speaking at Reuters Global Investment 2013 Outlook Summit held in London on Tuesday.

The video above walks you through the recipe. It's pretty straight forward, and while the cranberry sauce CHOW uses is clearly of the canned, gelatinous variety, we imagine you can do the same with any cranberry sauce, even homemade, as long as it's smooth enough to mix easily. If it's chunky leftover cranberry sauce you're trying to get rid up, a quick hit with an immersion blender (or even a regular blender) should smooth it out enough to give this a whirl.
