Riksbanken rekordhöjer räntan – energipriserna skjuter i höjden. Hur påverkar bistrare ekonomiska tider hur vi klär oss? Historiskt sett har recession inte inneburit att vi slutat klä oss elegant. Däremot har vi återanvänt kostsamma festkläder och istället köpt enskilda lyxprodukter. Och kortare kjolar i tider av lågkonjunktur är en myt. – I knappa tider tenderar vi att konsumera det som inte gräv

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. LU trillade nyligen ur topp 100 i Times Higher Education-rankingen. Under lång tid har universitetets placeringar i de stora internationella rankingarna långsamt försämrats. Nu satsar LU på bättre samordnad rankingkompetens. – Att åka ur topp 100 är inte bra för vår attraktivitet. Om utvecklingen dessutom är ett tec

Inför riksdagsvalet 2022 flyttade en del av den politiska diskussionen till TikTok. Att vi diskuterar svensk politik på en Kinaägd plattform där snabba klipp som tangerar primära känslor premieras av algoritmerna har förfärat många. Men formen är varken farlig eller särskilt ny - utan användes redan i antikens Grekland. Det säger kommunikationsforskaren Nils Gustafsson. Medieakademins årliga kartl

When LINXS moved from its old premises at Ideon to The Loop in Science Village in March, the institute became the first research environment from Lund University to make the move to Brunnshög. Since then, activities have more than doubled, new collaborations have emerged, and the team’s mood is distinctly optimistic.I met with Anna Ntinidou, Head of Administration, Noomi Egan, Communications Offic

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Eva Nordmark was 62 when she received her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. But rather than life ending, it gave her the chance to reclaim parts of her life that she had not previously had time for. It is a sunny autumn day at the Humlamaden rehab centre outside Veberöd, and the stable is full of life and activity. The 32-year-o

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. His ambition is to awaken our longing for a life which doesn’t revolve around wage labour. “If I had a citizen’s salary, I would do the same things I do now – read, write and have an occasional go with a scrubbing-brush, to make life more real. Others might play computer games, which would of course be perfectly OK”,

The Planetary Health Diet. That's the diet that will keep us healthy and put food on the table for a future world population of 10 billion. But will it reduce strokes, premature deaths and greenhouse gas emissions? To find out, Agenda 2030 PhD student Anna Stubbendorff compared different dietary indices. Her own index came out on top, and the results are now published in the prestigious Lancet Pla

A Swedish multi-centre study led by researchers at Lund University shows a link between low fibre consumption and the presence of unstable or high-risk plaque in coronary arteries – the type of plaque that can trigger blood clots and cause heart attacks. The study also links dietary pattern to the composition of the plaques, i.e. how potentially dangerous they are. Using advanced cardiac imaging,

Eating cheese and cream with a high fat content may be linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. This is shown by a new large-scale study from Lund University. The researchers analysed the dietary habits of more than 27,000 people and linked these to the occurrence of dementia over a follow-up period of up to 25 years. The debate about low-fat diets has long shaped our health advice and influ

Lymphedema after head and neck cancer is considerably more common than previously assumed and can persist long after cancer treatment has finished. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that patients with a low level of physical activity face a higher risk of developing lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition – a method

For two decades, researchers at Lund University's strategic research area, Lund Stem Cell Center, have focused on developing and refining stem cell research to improve human health. Now that the 20th anniversary is approaching, it is time to reflect on the progress made and the possibilities that researchers see for stem cell research in the future. Stem cells can make any inventor green with envy

A new study from Lund University in Sweden on how the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine affects human liver cells under experimental conditions, has been viewed more than 800,000 times in just over a week. The results have been widely discussed across social media – but the results have in many cases been misinterpreted. Two of the authors, Associate Professor Yang de Marinis (YDM) and Professor Ma

20 years of measurements are only the beginning. Long-term measurements over several decades are crucial to enable predictions of how airborne particles affect the future climate, according to Lund University researcher Erik Ahlberg. “Long-term measurements are important to prove that various climate initiatives actually work. Say we were to close all coal power plants today – with our time-series

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made a new discovery about how the human genome protects itself from disruption during critical stages of life. Their study, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals how two key defense mechanisms—DNA methylation and the HUSH complex—work together to safeguard genomic stability. The human genome contains large stretches of rep

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward. The reason for the increas
