What do you explore in your PhD? In my PhD-project, I am exploring gender and women´s mobilization strategies for sustainable agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, how agroecology helps erode patriarchal relations within rural communities in Zimbabwe. Due to low crop productivity occurring in Zimbabwe, mostly due to climate change, agroecology has become an alternative/solution to this

I en studie publicerad i Nature Energy visar forskare från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet att bristen på infrastruktur var en viktig faktor bakom att bilproducenter valde att tillverka bensinbilar istället för elbilar i det tidiga 1900-talets USA. Forskarna uppskattar att om elnätet hade etablerats och spridits 15 till 20 år tidigare så kunde det ha lett till att en majoritet av producente

When used as a diagnostic aid, artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians save time and make more accurate diagnoses. However, physicians should also understand and be able to explain the computer’s decision to the patient to avoid jeopardising trust, says AI researcher Stefan Larsson. AI also puts us at a crossroads: do we want to reflect the world or change it? Stefan Larsson is a research

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

Astronomers can use supercomputers to simulate the formation of galaxies from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago to the present day. But there are a number of sources of error. An international research team, led by Lund University and Seoul National University, has spent hundreds of millions of computer hours over eight years trying to correct these. The last decade has seen major advances in co

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. “When I see the ideal father role today, I see a copy of the motherhood myth. I am concerned that men are about to end up where many women have been in relation to parenthood, never satisfied and always feeling that they should have done more”, says developmental psychologist Elia Psouni.
