The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

Contrary to popular belief, women played a prominent role in IS recruitment - especially in bringing in other women. A new study from Lund University shows that Swedish women joined the Islamic State as part of a religiously motivated gendered counterculture against Swedish values of gender equality, modern gender roles and gender norms. Online, Swedish IS women propagandise sharia law, gender seg

Why do some people believe that most others can be trusted, while others don’t? And how does trust change over time? In his recently defended doctoral thesis, Alexander Saaranen studies social trust, and his findings show that our teenage years may be more important than previously thought. On Thursday 12 June Alexander Saaranen successfully defended his thesis “Trust in time” and is now a doctor

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, an increasing number of research articles have been published based on, and closely related to, digital psychiatry. The volume is now so great that it is time to gather these publications in a separate scientific journal fully dedicated to this area. So thought the journal’s editor-in-chief Jonas Eber

The nightjar migrates thousands of kilometres, yet the same wings must also help it catch insects at low speeds. A new study from Lund University shows how these competing demands have shaped the bird’s flight performance. The European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) is a nocturnal migratory bird that travels between Europe and southern Africa each year. However, its wings are not only used for l
