I en hållbar utveckling av landsbygden är jaktturism en viktig pusselbit. Jaktturism kan skapa arbetstillfällen och bidra till att traditioner bevaras, men som företagare möter man också unika utmaningar, konstaterar forskarna i ett forskningsprojekt som finansierats av Naturvårdsverket. – Jakt handlar traditionellt om viltförvaltning och rekreation. Den som verkar inom jaktturism ska också förhål

På COP-mötets första dag i Dubai togs ett formellt beslut om att inrätta en fond för att stötta utvecklingsländer att hantera klimatskador. En pragmatisk framgång för klimaträttvisa menar hållbarhetsprofessorn Emily Boyd som nu hoppas att även Sverige ska följa efter med löften om finansiellt stöd. Emily Boyd, professor vid Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, är en av få experter i

Uppsåt, skuld och motiv är begrepp som förekommer betydligt oftare än ondska inom juridiken. – Det handlar mer om att bedöma rätt eller fel, inte om att vara ond eller god, säger Karl Dahlstrand, universitetslektor och forskare i rättssociologi. Om vi går tillbaka i tiden förekommer där­emot begreppet ondska inom juridiken. I Romarriket exempelvis resonerade man gärna kring begreppet.– I den romer

Ofta kan en och samma handling ses som både ond och god. Allt beror på vilket perspektiv man har, offrets eller förövarens. Det menar Magnus Lindén, som i sin forskning inom psykologi bland annat intresserar sig för människans mörka sidor. – Jag menar att det inte går att tala om en människa som genuint ond. Inom social­psykologin tittar vi på vad människor gör och forskare är överens om att alla

Vetenskapsrådets indragna anslag till utvecklingsforskning har drabbat forskare vid Lunds universitet hårt. – Det här har vi sett i andra länder där ytterhögerpartier har haft stort inflytande, säger Anders ­Uhlin, professor i statsvetenskap och en av de forskare som hade lämnat in en ansökan om anslag. Sydostasien har länge varit Anders Uhlins område. I december förra året befann han sig i Indone

Ny forskning bekräftar att förändrad användning av sociala medier främjar psykisk hälsa. Försökspersoner som minskade sin sociala mediekonsumtion till en halvtimme om dagen upplevde ökat välmående och självkänsla. Men även de som gick från att vara aktiva användare till mer passiva "scrollare" kunde rapportera hälsoeffekter som förbättrat fokus och koncentration i vardagen. Forskarna vid Instituti

Trots stor och bestående viktnedgång minskar inte den psykiska ohälsan bland unga som gjort kirurgiska ingrepp mot övervikt. Däremot ökar fetmaoperationer risken för tidiga alkoholproblem. Det visar världens största långtidsstudie som gjorts bland unga som genomgått viktkirurgi. Studien är gjord vid bland annat Lunds universitet och Karolinska Institutet. Forskarna har studerat psykisk ohälsa – fö

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new, fossil-free bioplastic is emerging. According to lab experiments, it is more durable than both regular plastic and other bioplastics, and is potentially better suited for recycling. Almost all plastic is made from crude oil, and plastic production currently accounts for 4-6% of global oil consumption. The devel

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A study by researchers from Sweden and Hungary shows that white, painted stripes on the body protect skin from insect bites. It is the first time researchers have successfully shown that body-painting has this effect. Among indigenous peoples who wear body-paint, the markings thus provide a certain protection against

“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.

Our health in later life is shaped not only by the way we live, what our childhood was like or our time in our mothers’ wombs. Even our parents’ health and lifestyle at the time of our conception may affect our health.

Parkinson’s disease, a condition whose complications worsen as the years go by, can mean that getting older becomes particularly challenging. How can life be made easier for these individuals, so that they can continue to be active and participate in society?

Even though childhood cancer is rare, it affects around 350 children and adolescents under the age of 18 each year in Sweden. That is almost one child every day. Due to improved treatment, 80 per cent of these children survive their cancer. Why do children develop cancer? That mystery has yet to be solved. Children suffer from other types of cancer than adults and the determining factor is the gen

Lao Saal has a mission; to make it possible to – just by testing a blood sample – reveal, not only if you have cancer, but also which therapies may be most effective, and how well is the cancer actually responding to treatment. His idea is to trace the genetic material that escapes from tumours and into the blood circulation. “It’s a great feeling when you can go the whole way from having an idea

The climate issue is one of the biggest global societal challenges of our time. Research on where the climate is heading is an important part of that work, both to monitor the impact of emission reductions agreed between countries worldwide in Paris 2015, but also to be better prepared for the elements of climate change we will not be able to avoid.
