New assignments, tough challenges and development work – a status check from Med-service, our section for managing and servicing the Faculty, one year after the inauguration of Forum Medicum. Almost a year ago, Akademiska Hus handed over the keys to Forum Medicum. During the three-year construction, a major organisational change was underway within the Faculty linked to the construction project. T

Who are you – a separator or an integrator? Mobiles and laptops have created a working life where it is possible to work anytime and anywhere. In a major study, work environment researchers have identified how seven different personality types set boundaries – or not – between work and free time. "Everyone has their own standard which they think is right. However, there are often different views i

The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration research group is made up of about 15 researchers focusing on chronic lung disease. The group’s work includes the development of different methods to study disease models for conditions such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. One of the researchers, John Stegmayr, has been awarded SEK 700,000 from the Carl Tesdorpf Foundation to expand research into idiopathic

BIBSAM-konsortiet – framtida kostnadsfördelningBIBSAM har släppt en studie om förändringar i den nationella finansieringsmodellen som övergången från läs- och publiceringsavtal kommer att medföra. Sammanfattningsvis så kommer kostnaderna att öka för forskningstunga lärosäten och minska för mindre där undervisning dominerar. Studien är tänkt att fungera som ett underlag i framtida strategiska disku

Läkare ska hålla så kallade brytpunktssamtal i livets slutskede med obotligt sjuka patienter. Men många gånger ges inga sådana samtal, visar en ny studie vid Lunds universitet. Ett tidsperspektiv skulle kunna hjälpa läkarna att förstå vad patienterna behöver. – Ett ramverk för samtal utifrån år, månader och dagar skulle underlätta för att låta samtal om livets slutskede vara den process det är.

Peptides from the common bacteria Staphylococcus aureus speed up the pathological aggregation of α-synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson’s disease. This was discovered by researchers at MultiPark and published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Staphylococcus aureus is carried by 30–70% of the general population as a commensal bacterium. It produces a special kind of peptides c

Ninety thousand people die in Sweden every year. Despite 80 percent of Sweden’s population stating they would like to donate their organs after death, fewer than 200 people actually become organ donors each year. Why? This is due to, among other reasons, our limited legislation and organs not being made available because of a shortage of intensive care beds. Simply dying is not enough to become an

These are busy times for atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier. Earlier this year, she received the prestigious Wolf Prize – perhaps not as widely known among the general public, but within the field of physics it is considered second only to the Nobel Prize. Anne L’Huillier was honoured for her contribution to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics. “I haven’t really taken it all in yet. I hav

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

EU:s biodrivmedelsreglering säkerställer inte minskad klimatpåverkan och är ohållbar i längden. En ny avhandling från Lunds universitet menar att det enda rätta för samhället och klimatet är att omvandla stora delar av transportsektorn till en samhällstjänst liknande sjukvård eller skola. – I mindre skala kan biodrivmedel vara ett bra alternativ för kollektivtrafiken men vi kan inte lösa klimatfrå

Trots stor och bestående viktnedgång minskar inte den psykiska ohälsan bland unga som gjort kirurgiska ingrepp mot övervikt. Däremot ökar fetmaoperationer risken för tidiga alkoholproblem. Det visar världens största långtidsstudie som gjorts bland unga som genomgått viktkirurgi. Studien är gjord vid bland annat Lunds universitet och Karolinska Institutet. Forskarna har studerat psykisk ohälsa – fö
