In Sweden he fears a risk of care damage, which likely does not exist in countries like Romania. During three months in the autumn, SWEAH PhD student Glenn Möllergren, Lund University, will live in Romania and find out more about it. First one year in the 1990s and then at a number of longer stays for education and work. Soon a smaller moving load will go to Romania again. Möllergren has received

On-chip optical communication between tiny light-based components can make neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing much smaller and more energy-efficient. In this work, researchers demonstrate that individual nanowire devices on a silicon chip can transmit and receive light signals directly to each other. These miniature circuits communicate reliably, using significantly less power than convention

En ny studie vid Sahlgrenska akademin visar att de som genomgår fetmakirurgi minskar risken för hjärtinfarkt och slaganfall med 30 procent – en slutsats som kan förändra fetmakirurgins prioriteringar. Swedish Obese Subjects, SOS, är en av världens största stud

Hjärt- och kärlsjukdom är fortfarande vanligaste dödsorsaken efter långvarig typ 1-diabetes men under de senaste decennierna har risken avsevärt minskat, enligt en stor finsk undersökning. Under ungefär samma period visar en stor internationell studie att en vanlig riskfaktor för hjärtsjukdom har blivit betydligt vanligare. Under de senaste 30 åren har antalet för högt blodtryck blivit dubbelt så

Skulle allergimedlet antihistamin kunna användas inte bara för att lindra allergier, utan också för att behandla cancer? Banbrytande fynd från Lunds universitet tyder på det. – Om resultatet håller också i vidare studier, så är detta det viktigaste resultat jag fått fram i hela mitt forskarliv! säger cancerforskaren

En uppmärksammad och stor studie från Göteborgs universitet visar att nio av tio som har för högt blodtryck inte får tillräcklig behandling. Det innebär att många i onödan drabbas av stroke, hjärtsjukdomar och för tidig död. I onödan därför att det är väl känt att såväl livsstilsförändringar som läkemedel effektivt kan sänka blodtrycket. För högt blodtryck är vanligt och blir allt vanligare. I en

A meeting at the kitchen table, with lots of coffee and snus. And a donation of SEK 250 million. That’s what happened when Ingvar Kamprad met LTH’s dean in 1998 to talk about the future of industrial design education at the University. The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

A course administrator is a little bit like an octopus. We have one arm in the current day, one arm in tomorrow, another arm later in the week, one arm a few weeks ahead, one arm at the end of the semester and a pair of arms in the next semester. This is how Kathryn Wellbaum, course administrator at the faculty, explains her job. What does an course administrator do?"The role of the course adminis

Thanks to the recent development of diagnostic tools based on blood biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s, it is possible to predict whether an individual will develop the disease. Therefore, MultiPark researchers gather across groups to investigate hidden opportunities and develop implementable tools also for other brain conditions with similar approaches. “Development and implementation of fluid biom

The sound of tawny owls makes young European robins eat less during their southward migration. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows how the threat from nocturnal predators affects the birds’ behaviour – and by extension their survival. When young robins embark on their first southward migration in the autumn, they make regular stops along the way to rest and replenish their energy rese
