Photo by Lukas Blazek on Unsplash As a Swedish university, Lund University needs to ensure that students with disabilities find themselves in a comparable situation with other students. Course coordinators or examiners may need to make adjustments so that the digital teaching and examination is accessible to students with a disability.

The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities.  Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Endurance running is often seen as a welcome escape from everyday life. But extraordinary experiences, such as running ultra-marathons, are not untouched by the competitive nature of contemporary consumer culture, a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden argues. The at times romanticized notion of experiencing comp

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces. Now she strikes a blow for gardens in the urban planning. Green spaces, such as parks and allotment gardens, have a major impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing –

The war in Gaza is testing alliances and shaking up politics, both globally and regionally. What does this mean for the West's relationship with the Middle East?

It is not every day that the inauguration of a toilet draws a hundred spectators. Such a toilet would have to be pretty special – and this one is. It is special because it is flushed using rain water gathered from the roof of Kemicentrum. LUM was able to follow the rainwater’s journey from parapet to porcelain. An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a

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 internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition.

Att äta ost och grädde med hög fetthalt kan ha ett samband med en lägre risk för att utveckla demens. Det visar en ny stor studie vid Lunds universitet. Forskarna analyserade kostvanor hos drygt 27 000 personer och kopplade dessa till förekomsten av demens under en uppföljningstid på upp till 25 år. Debatten om fettsnåla dieter har länge format våra hälsoråd och påverkat hur vi ser på mat och häls

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Diabetessjukdomarna har haft många namn. Från de som fanns innan insulinbehandling introducerades, sjukdomen beskrevs då som en mild form, en svårartad och en farlig till dagens mångfald av olika diabetessjukdomar. Den alltmer brokiga bilden är ett resultat av de växande insikterna om orsaken till sjukdomen och om v

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An
