Nominated exchange students can apply for so-called 'Special Area Study' (SAS) courses in a wide range of subjects across eight out of nine faculties at Lund University. These courses are a wonderful opportunity for you to learn more about subjects outside your major. The course offerings include courses mostly focusing on one discipline as well as interdisciplinary courses tackling contemporary s

We conduct research that enhances our understanding of the major issues in the Middle East. The goal is to promote democracy, peace and sustainable development in this dynamic yet unstable region. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is a geopolitical region that has experienced significant economic and political change in recent decades. According to the UN, the region’s population is expected

Popular Abstract in English The work presented here is about methods that will enable more precise estimates of soil and rock parameters related to seismic hazard mapping, in particular when resources are limited. This will allow for evaluating the seismic risk in countries where earthquakes are frequent and large budgets are not available. Particularly, the study of ground response due to the ene

The increased interest in predatory bacteria due to their ability to kill antibiotic resistant bacteria has also highlighted their inherent plethora of hydrolytic enzymes, and their potential as natural sources of novel therapeutic agents and biotechnological tools. Here, we have identified and characterized a novel protease from the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus: BspE (Bdellovibr

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Tiden mellan 33,9–5,3 miljoner år sedan är indelad i perioderna Oligocen och Miocen. Denna tid karaktäriseras av ett oscillerande klimat som var knutet till de primära så kallade Milankovitchcyklerna – excentricitet hos Jordens bana kring solen, jordaxelns lutning och dess precession – men magnituden hos oscillationerna var mycket varierande. Dinoflagellater äThe Oligocene and Miocene are characterized by a number of climate oscillations, following the primary Milankovitch cycles but varying in magnitude. Dinoflagellates are sensitive environmental indicators as well as biostratigraphic markers, but their use as the former has mainly been restricted to higher latitudes. This palynological study is made on samples belonging to the Oligocene-Miocene inte

Popular science The carbon balance of the forest ecosystems is determined by the uptake and release of carbon. Forests take up carbon dioxide (CO2) by photosynthesis and release by respiration. One part of the assimilated carbon is respired back to the atmosphere by vegetation. The other part is respired by soil microbes which decompose organic material in soil. The microbial respiration is contro
