Properly managed, the agricultural sector in Europe can contribute to many of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by improving food security, reducing poverty and enhancing biodiversity. But new research shows that indicators to measure key SDGs such as health and equality are entirely missing fro
As one of five locations in Sweden, Lund is receiving support from Formas to start a lab for urban development issues. The Lund Urban Transition Lab will be located in the innovation district in northeast Lund, where sustainable solutions in the built environment, mobility and urban planning will be developed and tested. How can sustainable urban development become a natural part of the cities of

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated.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

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

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

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

Delving into the realm where light and matter converge, Mattias Bertolino's embarks on a theoretical exploration of photoionization. Focusing on multiphoton ionization of noble gas atoms, using a mixture of extreme-ultraviolet and infrared light, he explores the intricate interplay between light and matter. He aims to improve our understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matt

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

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

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj
