Sleep is an essential function that allows your body and brain to recharge and process information. Sleep also affects your memory and ability to learn new things. At the same time, a lack of sleep is perhaps the single largest contributing factor to mental health issues. Use our tips to improve your sleeping habits.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Artisanal interpretation of ceramics from the Bronze Age shows that a nine-year-old child could be a highly skilled artisan. This was one of the discoveries presented in a new thesis from Lund University. The thesis explores how an artisanal perspective can contribute to archaeology by providing new insights into arch

Lund University School of Economics and Management has claimed first place at the John Molson MBA International Case Competition in Montréal — one of the world’s most prestigious international case competitions. The winning team – Hanna Simona Allas, Lina Meyer, Karl Enocson and James Raymond-Paul – together with their case coach Mats Urde, delivered an outstanding performance in a highly competit

That could be the case as a unique idea of a small, high-tech alarm from Master's students at Lund University is now coming to life. “I was by myself on a beach in Mexico and had to leave my bag unattended to take a swim. But while in the wat

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. When it comes to economic and financial decision-making, do you know what is best for you? Or is it wise to delegate decisions to someone else? Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and other institutions have demonstrated that letting someone else be in charge of your personal finances can help you avoid costly mi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Through cooperation, animals are able to colonise harsher living environments that would otherwise be inaccessible, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, together with researchers in England and USA. The research community has long believed this was the other way around - that species in tough envir

In Escherichia coli the codons CGG, AGG, UGG or GGG (NGG codons) but not GGN or GNG (where N is non-G) are associated with low expression of a reporter gene, if located at positions +2 to +5. Induction of a lacZ reporter gene with any one of the NGG codons at position +2 to +5 does not influence growth of a normal strain, but growth of a strain with a defective peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase (Pth) enzyme

Spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) have been shown to have excellent decoding thresholds due to the threshold saturation effect. Furthermore, even for moderate block lengths, the simulation results demonstrate a very good bit error rate performance in the waterfall region. In this paper, we discuss the effect of spatial coupling on the performance of TCs in the finite block-length regime.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The largest study of prescription drug abuse in Europe shows that more than 12 per cent of Swedes over age 12 have abused prescription medication. The results, published in the scientific journal BMC Psychiatry, are based on studies in five European countries – Denmark, Germany, the UK, Spain and Sweden – and include

In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using a wavelet transform to compress individual frames in a video sequence controlled by points of gaze coordinates collected from different viewers by an eye-tracker. Unlike most eye-tracking controlled compression approaches, we make the compression "off-line" and not in real time. Our results indicate that the distribution of gaze-points is "comp

Obesity is associated with reduced muscle mass and impaired metabolism. Epigenetic changes that affect the formation of new muscle cells may be a contributing factor, according to new research from Lund University, Sweden. In a new study, doctoral student Cajsa Davegårdh has studied so-called DNA methylation in muscle stem cells in both obese and non-obese individuals. DNA methylation is an epigen

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th

“We must understand the ageing process itself in order to help people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, and to possibly enable us to prevent these diseases from arising”, says Henrik Ahlenius of the Stem Cell Centre at Lund University. His aim is to develop an experimental model for human nerve cell ageing that enables the researchers to understand why a disease is triggered. In th

The strong connection between financial problems and mental health issues is well known. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that only one in five young adults could correctly answer three basic questions about inflation, interest rates and risk diversification. At the same time, they are getting more into debt. This, the researchers argue, is a worrying development. We now know that

Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi
