Looksmaxing. Gigekonomi. Stress över att vara lyckad i andras ögon. Dagens unga vuxna – generation Z – har en utbredd psykisk ohälsa, men saknar kunskap om hur de ska kunna må bättre. Samtidigt brister vården och stödet för gruppen som är i början av vuxenlivet. Det vill forskare i Lund belysa – och ändra på, med hjälp av en e-hälsoapp. I ett år har forskarna kartlagt den psykiska hälsan hos perso

When humans are ill, we tend to be less active. This also applies to wild animals, but so far, it has not been known how long the reduced activity lasts or which activities are affected the most. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds' activity decreases for up to three weeks when they become ill - something that could mean the difference between life and death.
