Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. En ny rapport har kartlagt tio internationella offentliga personers flygvanor under ett år. Resultatet visar på enormt stora koldioxidutsläpp, flera tusen gånger mer än genomsnittet. Slutsatsen är att global mobilitet är intimt förknippad med en växande elits livsstil och identitet – och därför svår att ändra. Känsl

Nyligen fångade ett nytt instrument på det fyra meter stora VISTA-teleskopet vid det Europeiska sydobservatoriet i Chile in sitt första stjärnljus. Det markerar starten för en ny era i astronomin, där forskare ska kartlägga himlen i aldrig tidigare skådad detalj. Instrumentet, som fått namnet 4MOST, eller Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope, tar inte vanliga bilder av natthimlen. I stället samlar

Hur ska forskare förhålla sig till att det finns politiska intressen i deras forskning? Den frågan har aktualiserats den senaste tiden, bland annat i och med Sameh Egyptsons uppmärksammade avhandling och stormningen av Melodifestivalen, då en doktorand från Lunds universitet sprang upp på scenen med ett klimatbudskap. Mia Liinason, professor i genusvetenskap, har forskat om aktivism i många år och

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor i nanoelektronik vid LTH, har tillsammans med sitt forskarlag tagit fram en teknik för smartare transistorer som kan komma till användning inom elektronik som arbetar vid låg energi, exempelvis sensorer för Internet of Things. Om de nya transistorerna skulle användas i stor skala skul

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Two full-time technicians help biology researchers to realise new ingenious ways of gathering data on how animals move. Thanks to computer chips, wireless communication and nanotechnology, the researchers can achieve groundbreaking results. Johan Bäckman and Arne Andersson sort out the technology for CAnMove projects.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Just over ten years after Goran Basic came to Sweden as a refugee from the former Yugoslavia, he travelled back to his ethnically cleansed village. As a researcher in sociology, he wanted to try and carry out a non-judgemental study and interview survivors about forgiveness, reconciliation and the role of victim. One

Ett nytt sätt att räkna ut ett lands koldioxidutsläpp kan förändra spelplanen när länders klimatarbete utvärderas. Sverige skulle klättra i rankingen om modellen, som också inkluderar ett lands teknikjusterade exportpåverkan, började användas. Bland andra Statistiska Centralbyrån visar intresse för måttet som utvecklats vid Lunds universitet. Så vad går det ut på – det teknikjusterade klimatfotavt

The Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) has produced statistics for international student mobility at undergraduate and graduate level for all Swedish higher education institutions during the academic year 2022/23. Lund University is high in a national comparison. UKÄ's report states that the pandemic led to a sharp decline in international student mobility in terms of both incoming and outgo

When planning for food in times of crisis – what foodstuffs do we imagine? Many think of tin cans and freeze-dried food, but the fact is that if a crisis occurs, it is not stockpiled cans that will save us. Food preparedness is a subject being taken up by researchers from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Almedalen Week, one of their reflections being  how local growing of crops that do not need

On May 29th, the Helsingborg Innovation District, a collaboration platform and catalyst for innovation, research, and development, will be inaugurated. The innovation district is initiated by the City of Helsingborg, Lund University, Region Skåne, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Southern Sweden in collaboration with the business community. The district stretches from Helsingborg Centra

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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 am

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's di

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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 use
