Då tornade de röda tegelbyggnaderna upp sig som en ensam vägg mot östra Lunds öppna åkrar. Nu är husen en knutpunkt mitt i kunskapsstråket som förbinder den inre staden med forskningsanläggningarna i utkanten av Brunnshög. Det handlar förstås om husen på LTH:s campus. Sedan mitten av 1960-talet har arkitekt Klas ­Anshelms röda tegelhus utgjort hemvisten för LTH:s studenter. Nu pågår förnyelsen av

Lunds universitet har alla möjligheter att vända den negativa rankningsutvecklingen. Det menar rankningsexperten ­Daniel J. Guhr. Tre faktorer, samtliga forskningsrelaterade, sticker ut för LU:s del, enligt Daniel J. Guhr: publiceringar, citeringar och anseende. Det är där universitetet bör lägga krutet för att även i framtiden rankas som ett av världens bästa. Om fler publiceringar sker i högt an

Tätbebyggda områden förstärker effekten av kraftiga temperaturökningar på grund av fenomenet med värmeöar i städerna. Detta gör städerna mer sårbara för extrema klimathändelser. Det kommer att krävas stora investeringar i elnäten för att klara av att kyla oss från värmeböljor och värma oss från köldknäppar. Det visar forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet i en studie som nu publiceras i Natur

Återberättade händelser om våld förvanskas beroende på vem som återberättar och vilket våld det handlar om. Det leder till att media och människor förmedlar en skev bild av allvaret i det som faktiskt skett. Vissa händelser skattas allvarligare när de återberättas i efterhand och vice versa. AI gör dock en mer korrekt bedömning. Det visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. I den första studie
