Coeliac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, has until now been all but unknown in Ethiopia. Yet as more people adopt a Western diet, the number of cases is increasing. “Few people here have heard of coeliac disease, not even among doctors,” says Adugna Negussie Gudeta, a doctoral student at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö, who, together with his supervisor Daniel Agardh, is doi

The ground floor of the University Library will be refurbished and preparations will start in the summer. During the renovation, the public section will be emptied and the number of study places will be more than halved. If all goes according to plan, the University Library interior will be both better and more beautiful when all is complete in time for the start of the autumn semester 2024. There

In high-demand public services where priority pricing aims to ration access, like medical appointments or visa renewals, a new study by Prakriti Thami reveals that this approach may not always benefit consumers. In settings where public services are capacity-constrained and timely access is critical, such as medical appointments, passport renewals, or visa processing, priority pricing is often use

In March 2015, a valuable globe of Mars was stolen from the Astronomy Library. After disappearing without a trace for almost a decade, it suddenly turned up at an antique dealer in Stockholm. The astronomical treasure has finally been returned to Lund. Astronomers have been using globes to visualise moons and planets ever since the 18th century. As telescopes improved in the late 19th century, int

In an ideal world, perhaps the Psychological Defence Research Institute in Helsingborg would not even exist. But the global situation has brought attention, increased research funding and significant interest in collaboration from wider society. “The entire research institute is built around the idea that the world is troubled. We could be ten times the size we are, there is such an enormous amoun

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.

Back then, the red brick buildings rose like a lonely wall against the open fields of eastern Lund. Now, the buildings are a hub in the middle of the knowledge highway that links the centre of the city with the research facilities on the outskirts of Brunnshög. We are talking, of course, about the buildings on the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) campus. Architect Klas Anshelm’s red brick buildings ha

The excitement has been palpable in recent weeks following the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to Anne L’Huillier, a researcher at Lund. This is the first time a researcher at Lund University has received a Nobel Prize, and atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier is only the fifth woman ever to be awarded the prize in Physics. By now it is widely known where atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier was when

There are a number of regions and countries in the world of particular interest to the University, and we are keeping a keen eye on them in order to increase international collaborations. One of these countries is Singapore. Last week, I had the privilege of being part of the Swedish business delegation and Swedish state visit to Singapore.

Last year was the warmest year on record and 2024 is on track to be even warmer. Democracy is in decline and food insecurity is increasing as a result of military conflicts, economic crises and extreme weather. The ability of the United Nations to act globally is significantly weaker than before owing to the geopolitical situation. This comes at a time when we really need international cooperation

On 12 December, the Government presented the Research and Innovation Bill entitled “Research and Innovation for the Future, Curiosity and Benefit”. An overall assessment of the Bill shows that it is much more challenging for Lund University than any previous Research Bill. It offers great opportunities for many researchers and different types of research, while stearing research more than earlier

Investigating air pollution is not for researchers afraid of heights. One of the fearless is Erik Ahlberg, a combustion physicist at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). His working days are often spent far above ground – currently on the roof of Malmö Town Hall, where the instruments that capture air particles are located. There are many stairs in the town hall. The last staircase to the top of the

What has been the main option for a long time – i.e. relocating basically all physics and chemistry to Science Village – is no longer relevant. The costs would be too high and the logistics of providing first and second-cycle education in particular would be difficult to organise. “This was crucial. The costs plus the fact that everything indicated that if we had relocated first and second-cycle e

Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De

The Swedish Migration Agency should speed up visa processing for international students and researchers – a move that Lund University has eagerly awaited. And more Swedish students should study abroad. These are two of the proposals in the report of the Swedish Government’s commission of inquiry on increased internationalisation at higher education institutions (HEIs). The long processing times at
