”Engelska är som en hinna mot verkligheten”. Citatet kommer från en lärare vid ett svenskt lärosäte och beskriver lärarens upplevelse av att undervisa svenska studenter på engelska. – I dag saknas ofta pedagogiska anledningar till varför en viss kurs på grundnivån ges på engelska, säger Peter Svensson, universitets­lektor i företagsekonomi vid Ekonomihögskolan. Peter Svensson har tillsammans med O

Återvinningsindustrin för metaller växer, inte minst genom nya metaller i elektroniska komponenter. Lundaforskare har undersökt inandningsluften på 13 återvinningsföretag i Sverige. Bland resultaten syns höga blyhalter och ett stort antal metaller i blodet hos dem som arbetar med återvinningen. Olika former av metaller ingår i, och är en förutsättning för, tillverkningen av de flesta produkter i d

I-PROTECT är ett nytt skadepreventionsprogram för ungdomshandboll i Sverige som utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds universitet i nära samarbete med spelare och tränare. Programmet genomförs inom den ordinarie träningen och kombinerar fysiska och mentala övningar. En studie visar nu att I-PROTECT är minst lika lätt att följa som handbollens etablerade uppvärmningsprogram. Skador inom handbollen är va

During the pandemic, physical summits were replaced by Zoom meetings, and global political leaders had to quickly adjust. How did they visually convey their status in this new world of digital diplomacy? A new study from Lund University in Sweden analysed over 50 photos from the first virtual G20 meeting in 2020.

Understanding that others hold different viewpoints from your own is essential for human sociality. Adopting another person’s visual perspective is a complex skill that emerges around the age of two. A new study from Lund University in Sweden, published in Science Advances, suggests that this ability first arose in dinosaurs, at least 60 million years before it appeared in mammals.

Extreme weather poses a big threat to birds. Yet there is a lack of both knowledge and methods for measuring its negative effects. In a new study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified knowledge gaps and propose practical tools for analysing the risks to birds. Extreme weather has become increasingly common worldwide, often in the form of combinations of heat and drought. Thes
