This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Enlightenment philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft believed that living in hierarchies destroyed and corrupted people deep down in their souls. “For her, inequality was the greatest threat to democracy and liberty. It is still dynamite today, as the gulf between rich and poor widens and the world is divided into lords and

Snow still lies like a soft white quilt over Lund as I meet Sofie Ceberg, Senior Lecturer and the Faculty’s new Coordinator for gender equality and equal opportunities. After a long winter break, she is full of energy and eager to take on the assignment. The role is intended to strengthen the Faculty’s long-term work on gender equality and equal opportunities (shortened to "JoL" in Swedish), with
In Sweden, class actions - such as the ongoing Aurora case, where 300 young people are suing the government for failing to implement climate policies - are rare. Too rare, according to the sociologist of law Michael Molavi. He argues that Sweden would benefit from more class actions and that the state should finance the legal costs. On 21 March, Nacka District Court announced that the youth group

What constitutes leadership? The idea of leadership is often that of a strong individual offering positive solutions and heroic deeds. But this is difficult to demonstrate in everyday interactions without falling into arguments that could be criticised, given that leadership is practised all the time and everywhere. In his thesis “How is leadership enacted?: Sacralization in everyday interactions

A discussion on semiconductors was on the agenda in Almedalen. The dialogue, hosted by LTH at Lund University, addressed how Sweden can contribute to the efforts being made in Europe. One of the conclusions of the discussion was "the crisper the proposal – the more policy influence". Semiconductors are a strategically important component of today's and tomorrow's society. The technology is needed

How do you measure biodiversity impacts from products and raw materials extracted in very different places around the world? Researcher Carla Coelho from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), and colleagues, developed a new way to estimate the impact of mines and quarries - and how much they actually perforate their surroundings habitats. Perforation - human activity that crea

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year as a result of warmer climate and changing agricultural landscape, new research shows. – The risk is that we will lose additional bumblebee species and have reduced pollination of crops and wild plants, says researcher Maria Blasi Rome

Changes occur in all cells of the human body as we age. Blood stem cells, in particular, lose some of their functionality over time, contributing to various blood disorders and disease-related conditions. Scientists are investigating the reasons behind this decline. According to a recent study by researchers from the Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University, published in Nature Aging, the genetic
Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) has now received its reaccreditation through both the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) and The Association of MBAs (AMBA). Thereby, the School holds its position in the ranks of top business schools worldwide awarded with a “Triple Crown”.

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.

Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that
