The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition. Martin Tunér is a professor of Internal Combustion Engines at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and he explains that a functioning and egalitarian society needs transport, so

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

Economic conditions influence whether and when people choose to have children. A new report from the Swedish government inquiry A Future with Children, led by LUSEM economist Åsa Hansson, shows how financial risks – particularly for women – may be contributing to declining birth rates. Fewer children are being born in Sweden, and economic conditions may play a larger role than previously assumed.

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority o
