Most people around the world still do not have access to safe surgery, resulting in millions of deaths and disabilities each year. As a paediatric surgeon, Lars Hagander wanted to find ways to help, and has travelled the world to perfor

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Every chair is taken and the leaders of the workshop have had to turn participants away. Among doctoral students, there is clearly great interest in the topic – to finish your thesis on time and feel good along the way.   “I think the workshop is great, it opens your mind and the techniques seem realistic to use in yo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Hospitals should design premises and adapt their infection control routines to a society that no longer has effective antibiotics, and that is vulnerable to fast-spreading global pandemics. This is argued in a new dissertation from Lund University in Sweden. “Many hospitals in Sweden and the world are becoming old and

The guidelines governing the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest exhibit variation across different nations, with treatment strategies often resting on a limited evidential foundation. A randomized international study is underway poised to address some of the most pivotal questions. Encompassing a cohort of 3,500 patients, this study aims to scrutinize the impact of different fever treatments, cont

Work to optimise and develop the Faculty’s premises is underway in several areas, with much already accomplished. The aim is to make better use of existing space and free up areas for research and education. A large part of this work is led by Hanieh Heidarabadi, Process Manager at the Faculty of Science. Efforts to review and improve the Faculty’s premises have evolved over time, often as a resul

With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

Hur mäter vi ett lands utsläpp av koldioxid mest rättvisande? Genom hur mycket utsläpp produktionen ger upphov till inom landets gränser? Eller ska vi ta hänsyn även till utrikeshandeln på olika sätt? Ekonomihistorikern Astrid Kander från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet förespråkar att de nuvarande måtten kompletteras med egenutvecklade ”teknikjusterade klimatfotavtrycket” som även mäter ex

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid
