This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By studying identical twins, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified mechanisms that could be behind the development of type 2 diabetes. This may explain cases where one identical twin develops type 2 diabetes. The study involved 14 pairs of identical twins in Sweden and Denmark. One twin had type 2

From Spain to Estonia, multiple Erasmus students gathered to prepare a special event at school. This event organized by the international team was held in the Malmö Music Academy cafeteria. The idea came from Sara Engblom, international coordinator at the academy.    I got the idea during a visit to the Netherlands last year. It was at a much larger academy and therefore with many more students, b

Two lecturers at the Malmö Academy of Music, Ann-Sofi Härstedt and Elin Waileth Wikström, have been awarded development grants from the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts to revive and further develop a nearly forgotten technique – a form of breathing and movement training that was once central to artistic education in Sweden. Together, they have developed a new stand-alone course that highlights

The annual Sustainability Week in Lund is fast approaching, with a packed programme once again this year. From the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts, we find music, performance and artistic research in interactive events that aim to do more than simply inform — they aim to move people.Sustainability is a multifaceted field that extends far beyond the natural sciences. The concept also encompasse

For one week in April, the Malmö Academy of Music served as a hub for teachers and students from 16 different music academies across the Nordic and Baltic regions. This event only returns to Malmö every fifteen years. This year, the occasion was used to highlight folk music from minority groups. Nordtrad is a Nordplus-funded network for music academies offering folk and world music programs. The n

This spring, several students from Malmö Academy of Music are participating in so-called ”short mobilities”. These are short international exchanges that usually last between a few days and two weeks. Here, four of them share insights from their intensive week at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. In the beginning of March, four students from Malmö Academy of Music, Karin Axelsson, David

Soot is a light-absorbing material that is formed when hydrocarbons are not completely burned during combustion processes. Soot has significant impacts on climate, glacial regions, agriculture, and human health due to its strong light-absorbing ability, small size and complex structure. Various soot types have different properties, for example biomass soot has lower absorption efficiency than dies

When you are cleaning your car with your high-pressure washer have you ever considered how it works? Well we have and to figure that out we need to see how the liquid looks like in 3D. As is seen in the video above we have 3D reconstructed the surface of a cone-like liquid using a technique developed at the division of combustion physics. This technique apply lasers and a single high-speed camera

Insects are essential to the natural world, playing a vital role in maintaining ecosystem processes and providing valuable ecosystem services. However, studying insect biodiversity has proven challenging and labor-intensive since current methods use manually emptied traps. We recognized the need for a powerful and efficient tool to study insect abundance and richness in forests. So we developed a

Probably you have looked into a candle light and been fascinated by the high intensity of the yellow light! Have you ever been thinking about the origin of this light? This brilliant light actually comes from nano-meter sized carbonaceous particles that we in daily life call soot. Soot particles emitted from a combustion process to the ambient air are black, but at flame temperatures 1500 - 2000 °

Soot can be emitted from both natural and anthropogenic sources, including mineral deposits, open forest fires, savanna burnings, biomass burning, residential burning, and fossil fuel combustion. It absorbs solar radiation and contributes to atmospheric heating. Soot nanostructures contain varying levels of toxic chemicals that can penetrate deep into the bodies of humans and animals, leading to r

The contribution of carbon dioxide emissions from combustion to global warming is well known. How can this be mitigated? One way is carbon-free combustion with hydrogen. But how about challenges with hydrogen handling, storage and distribution? Combustion of hydrogen (H2) can provide energy without net carbon dioxide emissions contributing to global warming. However, hydrogen is very flammable, ma
