Marie Stissing Jensen, PhD student at Lund University and SASNET grantee, travels Sri Lanka and Nepal to better understand the ecosystem of Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships. They have been deemed vital for realizing the 2030 Agenda goals, due to their perceived ability to overcome ‘silo-thinking’ between sectors – but how and to what extent do they do this, and what exactly are their activities in t

När Donald Trump nyligen tillkännagav importtullar för stål och aluminium fördömdes han av frihandelsförespråkare över hela världen. Hans belackare menade att den amerikanske presidenten inte förstår att handelsprotektionism skulle innebära en katastrof för världsekonomin. Det må så vara. Men det handlar om samme Trump som också fick massiv kritik när han valde att dra sig ur Parisavtalet. Trump i

Ålderism betyder att vi har stereotypa föreställningar som har att göra med ålder. Det är en komplicerad typ av diskriminering. Kanske härstammar ålderismen från vår rädsla att bli gamla, sjuka och dö. Vi är medvetna om att vi åldras, samtidigt är det många som i det längsta undviker att planera för ålderdomen och till exempel låter bli att öppna det orange kuvertet från Pensionsmyndigheten. Att s

Marknadens spelregler ger inte lantbrukare incitament att använda jordbruksmetoder som gynnar klimat och miljö på lång sikt. Det är ett misslyckande som kräver politiska åtgärder, anser nationalekonomen Mark Brady vid SLU och CEC, Lunds universitet. I en ny studie visar han hur ekosystemtjänster kan ges ett ekonomiskt värde, för att skyddas bättre. Jordbruksmarken har stor betydelse för människan

ECT, eller elbehandling, är en behandling med god effekt för svårt deprimerade patienter. Men många patienter är oroliga för biverkningar, främst långvariga minnessvårigheter. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet i studier på möss undersökt om ECT påverkar halterna av proteinet beta-amyloid i hjärnan– det protein som klumpar ihop sig och bildar plack i hjärnan vid Alzheimers sjukdom.
