Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Fram till sjuttiotalet tvingades personer med epilepsi sterilisera sig före giftermål. Än idag är det en sjukdom som det ogärna pratas om och som ofta hamnar i skymundan för Alzheimer och Parkinson. Vid Sveriges enda epilepsicentrum, beläget vid Lunds universitet, undersöker forskarna hur framtidens behandlingsforme

Urfolks feministiska kamp skiljer sig från den i majoritetssamhället. Det menar Ina Knobblock som nyligen disputerat vid Lunds universitet med en avhandling om samisk feminism. Inom såväl svensk som samisk feminism finns flera inriktningar och perspektiv. Ett vanligt synsätt är dock att olika maktordningar, exempelvis genus, sexualitet, klass och etnicitet, samspelar och påverkar individers och gr

Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s

Photo by M.Accelertor on Unsplash It is not necessarily the students who need to join a lecture via Zoom; sometimes the lecturer is the one taking part remotely. This is very practical for guest lecturers who are very far away and can thereby avoid a long trip. It also opens up opportunities for simple collaborations between higher education institutions. The solution will be different depending o

Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep
