This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In 2016, a forgotten archival treasure was found in the cellar of the Department of Geology. The material included a unique map of Iceland from 1844 and a geological map of the whole of New Zealand dated 1869. Now 322 works have been restored and plans are afoot for an exhibition. Through arched windows, a pale Novemb

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

Plans to move some research and education to Science Village are being formulated. But the University’s finances are proving to be a limiting factor for the establishment. The goal for the University is to have completed a premises programme by the end of the year, which is essential if research and teaching are to be conducted in Science Village by 2030. Yet, Science Village Scandinavia AB, which

Economists are obsessed with growth. So says economist Timothée Parrique, who has recently attracted attention for his research into degrowth. He thinks that creativity is missing from economic theory. “Economists stubbornly attempt to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s theories,” he says. Trusting one’s gut instinct can bring rewards. In Timothée Parrique’s case that was certainly true – tod

It is half past three in the morning on one of the last nights of October. Storm Babet is raging and most people are trying to sleep through the sound of the wind, but coastal researchers at LTH are wide awake. Strong winds combined with high water levels are a warning sign for communities on the south coast of Skåne, and that’s where the researchers are heading, to the heart of the action. They a

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

After 15 years, hundreds of meetings, conferences, opinion pieces, interviews and trips to Stockholm, it happened – the Government adopted the Housing First model as a national strategy for tackling homelessness. “We are very proud.

The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition.

Vi har levt med coronapandemin under lång tid, både i Sverige och internationellt. I ett nytt samverkansprojekt vill forskare med hjälp av AI-metoder, register- och mobildata utveckla och utvärdera applikationer som ska kunna användas för att upptäcka och bekämpa pandemier i framtiden. – Det kan låta lite klyschigt att säga att det är ett tvärvetenskapligt projekt, eftersom det ibland kan bli en p

Kan du berätta lite om ditt forskningsområde?Jag forskar på sjukdomar och tillstånd i höftleden som drabbar barn men även kan ge smärta och artros i vuxen ålder. Ett exempel på en sådan sjukdom är höftledsdysplasi, vilket innebär att ledskålen i höftleden inte täcker höftkulan tillräckligt. Höftdysplasi förekommer hos 0.5-1% av nyfödda barn i Sverige och upptäcks nästan alltid på BB.
