For decades, the Swedish forest have been intensely managed through clear-cutting and tree planting to maximize wood production. This type of management has created a strong culture and tradition where foresters feel that it is difficult to gain knowledge about, and support for, other forest management methods, for instance continuous cover forestry. This is according to researchers at LUCSUS who

Trump’s attack on US universities and their research is actually a broader attack on democratic values, according to historian of knowledge Johan Östling. By destroying them, the Trump administration is paving the way for a very different kind of society.  “We need to understand the breadth and depth of this offensive,” says Johan Östling.Could you put Trump’s actions against universities in the U

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is nothing to indicate that sexual harassment is more common at the University than in other workplaces. However, different relationships of a dependent nature complicate the situation, such as that between doctoral student and supervisor. Few people choose to report harassment. "One of the reasons is fear of pe

How we feel about nature affects the gardening choices we make and how much those choices benefit pollinators. A new study from Lund University highlights this connection, particularly in the context of widespread urbanisation, which is reducing both green spaces and people’s contact with nature. The researchers also show that for pollinators in cities, gardens with plantings kept over many years

The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable

Much research on diabetes focuses on understanding what happens when the insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Researchers at Lund University have instead chosen to investigate what protects the insulin-producing cells. Their research shows that a protein of the immune system protects the insulin-producing cells from inflammation and death. The study, published in PNAS, is an example of basic res

An increasing number of Swedes are getting tattoos and Sweden’s population is now one of the most tattooed in Europe. At the same time, the incidence of melanoma is increasing. A new epidemiological study from Lund University in Sweden suggests that tattoos could be a risk factor for melanoma.

What makes a university a university? The simple answer would be that the institution hosts teaching and research. Yet a university is so much more than that; it might be easiest to capture the essence of the universe that is a university by summarising the year that has just ended. It is a razor sharp, teeming, testing, reflective universe that pushes boundaries in disruptive, eloquent and powerf

Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Cancer is known for its ability to hide from the immune system, making it tough to fight. But what

Nordic and Andean countries started their economic modernisation in the same way: with export of raw natural resources. Later on, Norway and Sweden became rich, while Bolivia, Chile and Peru followed a quite different path. What made them diverge from the common road? Different fiscal policies may be one of the reasons, new research from Lund University suggests. In the mid-19th century, Norway ex

An observational study from Lund University in Sweden examining sugar consumption has attracted considerable international attention. The study shows that sweetened beverages have a greater negative impact on health than other sources of sugar. They significantly increased the risk of ischaemic stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Of the 70,000 Swedes who took

Turismperspektivet är en bra ingång för att förstå vårt samhälle, skriver Malin Zillinger i tidskriften Organisation & Samhälle. Turism handlar lika mycket om rumslig förflyttning som om samhälleliga utvecklingsprocesser som griper in i varandra. Här reflekterar hon kring turismmobilitet som en av många mobiliteter, turismens roll för att upprätthålla nära relationer samt hur svårt det är att tänk
