As extreme weather, droughts and water scarcity become more common, we need more ways to ensure access to clean water. New research by PhD student Maria Takman shows how wastewater in Kivik has been treated to near drinking water quality. “I was surprised that we achieved such high quality with a relatively simple and short treatment process. This type of wastewater reuse could become an important

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 disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up
