What is climate-related loss and when can it be considered disproportionate? This question is at the heart of Kelly Dorkenoo’s thesis which explores loss associated with land in smallholder farming communities in Cambodia. Her motivation was to deepen our understanding of – and to find ways to mitigate – loss arising from climate change impacts, focusing on communities whose livelihoods are closel

Det luktar ljuvligt från köket i lägenheten hemma hos Louise Brunkwall, som forskar på tarmbakterier och är näringsfysiolog. Idag blir det pasta och grönsakssås till lunch. Städningen inför intervjun med LUM har gjort att hon inte längre hittar i köksskåpen: – I vanliga fall är det alltid någon form av kaos här! säg

Att byta betong mot gröna tak är exempel på hur städer kan rustas mot framtidens skyfall. Men tiden är knapp. För att naturbaserade lösningar ska få effekt krävs kraftsamling nu, menar forskare.  En sensommardag i augusti 2014 föll 100 mm regn på ett dygn i området Sofielund i Malmö. Källare översvämmades och ur brunnarna strömmade dagvatten. Den som hade en egen pump kunde skatta sig lycklig. På

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear

De nya blodproven för att diagnostisera Alzheimers sjukdom ger allt bättre möjligheter till tidig diagnos, men en utmaning är att markörerna som mäts förändras långt innan symtom utvecklas. Forskning ledd från Lunds universitet visar nu att en tidigare inte använd blodmarkör kan, när den kombineras med dagens blodmarkörer, betydligt minska risken för att personer får missvisande besked om sjukdom.
