In a new study, LUCSUS researcher Maryam Nastar, identifies key knowledge gaps in the evaluation of Ahmedabad’s Heat Action Plan (HAP), and highlights the need to look at the distribution of policy impacts in cities in more detail - to find out who has benefited or been excluded from the outcomes, and what barriers need to be tackled for more inclusive and effective results. Climate change is expe

Emily Sonestedt investigates how food affects the health and the risk to develop type 2 diabetes. This knowledge is of importance to society when developing food-based dietary guidelines. It can be hard to make healthy food choices. The bread rolls behind the counter in the café at Clinical Research Centre (CRC) in Malmö have a dark color, but it does not have to mean that they are a healthy choic

När forskare vid Lunds universitet genomförde avancerade analyser av upphostat slem från luftvägarna från patienter med svår covidsjukdom fann de höga nivåer av nätliknande strukturer orsakade av neutrofiler. Sedan tidigare vet man att dessa kan bidra till segt slem, kraftig sepsis-liknande inflammation och tromboser. Patienterna behandlades med ett redan befintligt läkemedel, vilket förbättrade s

Children in preschool and primary school will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how we humans can protect nature. The collaborative project ‘Natural Nations’ is introducing biodiversity in the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and the natural world was part of general knowledge and was passed down through generations. Today, t

Singing can be a real health boost. Song involves your emotions, thoughts and body; the feelgood hormone oxytocin surges and the stress hormone cortisol declines. Singing accompanies us from the cradle to the grave, and binds us together as human beings. But what do kids sing in school, how much, and in what way? David Johnson, researcher at the Malmö Academy of Music, investigates this in his the

Att bo ensam i eget boende sliter mer på jordens resurser än att bo med andra, eftersom alla ska ha egna utrustningar – brödrost, tvättmaskin och så vidare. De nordiska länderna sticker ut: nästan hälften är ensamhushåll. Hållbarhetsforskaren Tullia Jack har intervjuat ensamboende om orsakerna och hoppas på nya former av kollektivboenden. – Delat boende är en lågt hängande frukt för att sänka kold

The city of Cali, in Colombia, is hosting the UN’s 16th biodiversity summit, known as Cop16. The summit, which runs until Friday, November 1, is focused on how countries will fulfil previous pledges to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and water and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. It’s a noble aim, yet Colombia itself shows just how far we have to go. If you travel south east fr

Jordbruket står för en tredjedel av utsläppen av växthusgaser och släpper ut stora halter av giftiga ämnen som påverkar hav och mark.

Ett ”bokmärke” – i form av specifika proteiner – i cellens DNA, innebär att celler minns sin identitet efter celldelning. Mekanismen har tidigare visats i odlade celler. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu för första gången visat den avgörande betydelsen av denna mekanism i levande möss.
