Arkeologen Johanna Bergqvist har i sin avhandling vid Lunds universitet undersökt läkekonsten och läkaryrkets utveckling under medeltiden och renässansen. Tvärtemot vad man tidigare har trott var klostrens läkekonst inte spridd till resten av samhället. Men redan under tidig medeltid fanns i städerna en erfarenhetsbaserad läkekonst med en begynnande professionalisering av yrket. Dessutom fanns det

Do you leave work full of energy and excited about what the rest of the day has to offer? If not – maybe it is worth trying to improve recovery during the working day. Lina Ejlertsson's thesis is about recovery of staff in one of the most stressful work environments – healthcare centres. She says we have a certain amount of energy that either drains or fills during the working day. "I would like

Han Somsen has newly been appointed professor in environmental law at the Faculty of Law. He is best known for his recommendation that bird-killing cats should be kept indoors. “Humans see themselves as the kings of the hill, which extends to their cats.

Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom. Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

Emma Kritzberg took the train to a meeting on Mallorca. A journey that took 54 hours and cost double what it would have to fly a couple of hours to the Mediterranean island. Yet, flying was never an option. She has not flown once for work or privately in the last six years, a conscious decision she took to reduce her carbon footprint. Emma Kritzberg, professor at the Department of Biology, stepped

Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed user interfaces for remote control of ships, as well as positioning using water dept

The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities. Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease.

During the fetal stage, a number of so-called cell programs run that are vital to the development of the fetus. In a study published in Cell Reports, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University demonstrate that one of these fetal programs appears to protect against acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). “We have used an experimental mouse model that always results in this type of leukaemia.
