This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair. This is what emerges from the student unions’ surveys whose results have now been compiled. In late spring, seven students’ unio

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The students are not satisfied with the University's system for quality assurance of education. "It does not maintain the high and even quality that we would like", says Ella Sjöbeck, vice president of LUS, the umbrella organisation for Lund University's students' unions. At issue is the national review of the quality

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Like learning to fly as the plane takes off.   Across the entire University, teaching staff are grappling with the transition to digital education and assessment at record speed in the unique situation caused by the coronavirus.

Pathologists and coroners are now commonplace in crime novels and TV crime series and are often depicted as slightly odd people. Elisabet Englund has worked at the Division of Pathology in Lund for over 40 years. She has often been told that she is a little ‘too happy’ to be a pathologist. “Yes, there is a stereotype of people who work with dead people, which perhaps contributes to the mystificati

Using machine learning and a large volume of data on genes and existing drugs, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a combination of statins and phenothiazines that is particularly promising in the treatment of the aggressive form of neuroblastoma. The results from experimental trials showed slowing of tumour growth and higher survival rates. The childhood cancer, neuroblastoma

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The owlet, little over three weeks old, squints slightly as Hannah Watson lays it on its back in a plastic container that once held vanilla ice cream. It seems quite happy there. Things get a little trickier when the owlet is to be measured, weighed and swabbed for bacterial samples from both front and behind. Finally

The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Not only does a successful researcher need to produce good research, their findings must also be visible among tough comp

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

Environmental pioneer Henrik Smith has won a major international ecology prize. He is also keen to emphasise the importance of research activity’s interaction with society – gone are the days when writing an extensive study and then leaving it to gather dust was enough. Henrik Smith, professor of animal ecology at Lund University, has been awarded the internationally renowned Marsh Awards for Ecol

A simpler method of analysing blood samples for Alzheimer’s disease has been tested in a large multicentre study, led by Lund University in Sweden. “This is a major step in bringing simple blood tests for Alzheimer’s disease into the healthcare system globally,” say the researchers behind the study. In brief:The blood-based marker (P-tau217) may start to change several years before the onset of Al

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction who receive early add-on lipid-lowering medication have a significantly better prognosis than those who receive add-on treatment late, or not all. Based on the results of a study from Lund University in Sweden, many new heart attacks, strokes and deaths could be prevented. Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of death worldwide, and m

I ett projekt vid Lunds universitet tränas en AI-modell till att hitta de bröstcancerpatienter som kan avstå ingrepp i armhålan. Modellen analyserar tidigare outnyttjad information i mammografibilder, och ringar med hög träffsäkerhet in den individuella risken för metastaser i armhålan. I en nyligen avslutad studie visar modellen att drygt 40 procent av dagens armhåleingrepp skulle kunna undvikas.

Socialhögskolan får ofta förfrågningar från organisationer där det arbetar socionomer, med förslag på uppsatsämnen för våra studenter. Socionomstudenterna Elin och Viola behövde inte fundera länge när de fick tips om att socialtjänsten i Trelleborgs kommun undrade om några studenter kunde granska barnavårdsutredningar ur ett jämställdhetsperspektiv.

Vi har levt med coronapandemin under lång tid, både i Sverige och internationellt. I ett nytt samverkansprojekt vill forskare med hjälp av AI-metoder, register- och mobildata utveckla och utvärdera applikationer som ska kunna användas för att upptäcka och bekämpa pandemier i framtiden. – Det kan låta lite klyschigt att säga att det är ett tvärvetenskapligt projekt, eftersom det ibland kan bli en p

Kan du berätta lite om ditt forskningsområde?Jag forskar på sjukdomar och tillstånd i höftleden som drabbar barn men även kan ge smärta och artros i vuxen ålder. Ett exempel på en sådan sjukdom är höftledsdysplasi, vilket innebär att ledskålen i höftleden inte täcker höftkulan tillräckligt. Höftdysplasi förekommer hos 0.5-1% av nyfödda barn i Sverige och upptäcks nästan alltid på BB.
