Set a goal for your training for one to four months and pay in SEK 1,000. You get your money back if you achieve your goal. Crazy? Perhaps, but in a study by Professor of Economics Erik Wengström and his colleagues, the incentive proved to be quite effective compared with the control groups. “I’ve had a long-standing interest in how people behave in strategic situations and if you look at it from

At work, Julia Weber’s focus is on insects and other pollinators, and their survival. At home, it is her cat Hera who has grabbed attention. When Postnord announced a competition to find cats to grace their new stamps, Julia Weber did as over 18,000 other cat owners and sent in a photo along with a short description of her feline friend. The jury could not resist the adventurous Hera, who was one

It can take a long time between words and action at the University, sometimes a little too long. This is one of the reasons the University management has developed a platform for strategic work.

For many years there has been an on-going discussion about how academic freedom is being challenged in many parts of the world, including Sweden. And when even some of the strongest academic bastions in the world such as Harvard are now fighting for their independence against the American federal administration’s political directives, it is clear that academia has not been crying wolf.

I en ny registerstudie från Lunds universitet har forskarna studerat 4 207 barn till 2 380 fäder behandlade för testikelcancer. Resultaten i studien, som publiceras i PLOS Medicine, visar att själva cancerbehandlingen inte medför en ökad risk att få barn med missbildningar. Det är välkänt att behandling med medicinsk strålning och cytostatika (cellgifter) kan påverka fertiliteten hos män. Studier

Den växande e-handeln ställer höga krav på logistiken i städerna, inte minst när det gäller den sista milen i leveranskedjan. Gemensam infrastruktur, paketautomater, digitala lås, cykelbud och delningsekonomi kan bidra till att lösa samhällets logistikutmaningar, tror Klas Hjort och Daniel Hellström. Den sista biten av transporten är en utmaning för distributörerna. Många fordon slåss om utrymmet
