I slutet av oktober samlas beslutsfattare från hela världen för att diskutera biologisk mångfald på nästa COP-konferens i Colombia. ”Besluten som fattas där avgör framtiden för vår jord” säger en av forskarna som reser dit, Jesica López vid Lunds universitet. Hon är ursprungligen från Colombia men där ansågs hennes forskning om avskogning i hemlandet för farlig. Den colombianska regnskogen är en d

It is not easy to make ends meet for many smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Everyday life is a complex management of many activities, especially for women, such as providing, preparing and cooking food; provide water and energy for cooking; manage farm activities; rearing children; and not least ensure that the family is healthy. Ill-health can easily tip families into abject poverty. Imp

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Many people feel mentally unwell during the pandemic, especially, it seems, those who are already exposed to socio-economic inequalities. But who really suffers the most when restrictions, loneliness, depression have become commonplace? Researchers from Lund University have tried to find out in a cross-sectional study

Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

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

Can insulin taken as an infant in small doses together with food render the immune system used to insulin and thus prevent type 1 diabetes? Can a gluten-free diet and probiotics prevent celiac disease (so called gluten intolerance)? These questions will be asked by two separate studies that are being planned at Lund U

Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar hur offentliga organisationer kan tillämpa vissa principer i sin kommunikation för att stärka förtroende för myndigheter. Kommunikation är grunden för en organisations existens. Organisationer manifesteras också genom byggnader, maskiner och viktiga papper. Men slutar medarbetare och chefer att kommunicera med varandra och omvärlden upphör organisationen.U

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Mänskliga rättigheter och demokrati är under hot på flera håll i Europa. Tio år efter att rättsstatskrisen påbörjades i Ungern lade EU i december förra året slutligen fram en uppgörelse som direkt knyter pengaflöde till respekt för rättsstatens principer. Men är överenskommelsen tillräcklig? Tar EU verkligen mänskli

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Dagens styrning av universitet och högskolor är kortsiktig, dåligt samordnad och alltför generell och konkurrensbaserad. Uppdelningen av anslagen mellan utbildning och forskning har skapat onaturliga gränser och främjat en kultur inom akademin som undervärderar utbildning i förhållande till forskning. Pam Fredman, t

Lundalektorn Joakim Zander blev jurist i Uppsala och doktor i Nederländerna, men författarskapet har han tagit med sig till Lund, hem­staden sedan drygt tio år. Snart har filmatiseringen av spännings­romanen ”Ett ärligt liv” premiär på Netflix. Där utgör Lund både skåde­plats och brottsplats för en juriststudents drömmar och vedermödor.

Perhaps we course lecturers can use digital technology to become better at giving feedback and providing a clearer structure to our courses? Maybe digitisation gives us a golden opportunity to rethink content, relevance and what we really want students to think about as they study?

This CMES Regional Outlook (2025:2) by Lisa Strömbom focuses on the global responses to the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In February 2025, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into force, briefly easing the intense humanitarian crisis in Gaza after months of devastating conflict. The truce was structured in three phases. The first stage was implemented and included the ex

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

Covid-19 turned parts of the ordinary research process upside down. Economist Erik Wengström is among those who have studied Swedes’ behaviour during the pandemic from the centre of events. But the current funding system risks putting a spanner in the works. His wish: for the faculty to have a quick source of money for highly topical research. “The pandemic has been an interesting time for researc

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean
