For over 60 years, scientists have tried to determine whether plants are pollinated primarily during the day or at night — without reaching a clear conclusion. Now, a major research review from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that nighttime pollinators play just as significant a role as daytime species in 90 percent of the cases studied. Most of us know how important bees, birds, and butter

Elsa Trolle Önnerfors was surprised by how smooth the transition to distance education was. However, now the focus is more on how students are feeling and on perseverance – for how long is unknown "I used a year's worth of creativity in the first few we

In just a few years, artificial intelligence has gone from horror film bogie man to a tool integrated into every phone and computer. From spell check to shopping recommendations – and now to allocating tasks at work and measuring performance.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Ninety thousand people die in Sweden every year. Despite 80 percent of Sweden’s population stating they would like to donate their organs after death, fewer than 200 people actually become organ donors each year. Why? This is due to, among other reasons, our limited legislation and organs not being made available beca

Higher dose cohort initiated after positive early safety evaluation in Parkinson's therapy. After a positive initial safety evaluation, the pioneering STEM-PD clinical trial has advanced to higher dose testing.

These are busy times for atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier. Earlier this year, she received the prestigious Wolf Prize – perhaps not as widely known among the general public, but within the field of physics it is considered second only to the Nobel Prize. Anne L’Huillier was honoured for her contribution to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics. “I haven’t really taken it all in yet. I hav

De senaste åren har de digitala vårdalternativen för patienter med knä- och höftartros ökat kraftigt – inte minst på grund av pandemin. Men hittills har det inte gjorts några studier som har jämfört effekten av de digitala vårdinsatserna med de traditionellt fysiska. I en studie som publiceras i tidskriften JAMA Network Open, har forskare jämfört de två artrosskolorna. Cirka var fjärde person över

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Ökad livslängd och en större andel äldre i Sverige och andra länder leder också till en ökad användning av läkemedel. En ny avhandling från Lunds universitet belyser för första gången på ett mer omfattande vis nyttan av att redan i primärvården jobba strukturerat med äldres läkemedelsintag. Trots olika initiativ för

Högutbildade föräldrar får nästan 30 procent mer personlig assistans till sina barn med funktionsnedsättning, än lågutbildade föräldrar. Skillnaderna kan bero på att lågutbildade föräldrar har svårare att navigera i systemet och driva igenom sina ärenden, vilket kan leda till ökade skillnader i hälsa och livskvalitet. Under det senaste decenniet har förändringar i regelverket inom LSS (lagen om st
