Säg ”Primula” och en del tänker på en blomma. Andra tänker på ett lönesystem vars användarvänlighet lämnar en del övrigt att önska. Men när systemet började utvecklas under 1990-talet var det supermodernt – och något som lärosätena själva tagit fram. Välkommen att följa med i den vindlande berättelsen om personal- och lönesystemet Primula. Vi har talat med en frustrerad forskare, en systemförvalta

In a new study, LUCSUS researcher Maryam Nastar, identifies key knowledge gaps in the evaluation of Ahmedabad’s Heat Action Plan (HAP), and highlights the need to look at the distribution of policy impacts in cities in more detail - to find out who has benefited or been excluded from the outcomes, and what barriers need to be tackled for more inclusive and effective results. Climate change is expe

A completely new classification of diabetes which also predicts the risk of serious complications and provides treatment suggestions. We are now seeing the first results of ANDIS – a study covering all newly diagnosed diabetics in southern Sweden — published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The major difference from today’s classification is that type 2 diabetes actually consists of several

For the first time, researchers have linked specific frequent defects in sperm to risk of pregnancy complications and negative impacts on the health of the baby. The study from Lund University in Sweden shows that high proportion of father’s spermatozoa possessing DNA strand breaks is associated with doubled risk of preeclampsia in women who have become pregnant by IVF. It also increases the risk

Tolibjon Mustafoev, PhD candidate at Lund University For the last few decades, Uzbekistan has been a popular research destination for many scholars studying authoritarian regimes. Indeed, the first president of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, had been in power from the first days of independence in 1991 until September 2016. Karimov was known for his policies on closed economy, high bureaucracy, centra
A new WCMM research school year is completed and the students together with the PIs could celebrate the success of another engaging year at a well-planned and well-deserved retreat. The WCMM research school retreat always offers a good balance between stimulating scientific programs including external speakers or fellow WCMM researchers and social events. This year we heard great talks by invited

Fredagkväll i Lund och strax ska Mikael Dolsten, hyllad forskningschef och gästprofessor i farmakologi vid Medicinska fakulteten, berätta den osannolika, men sanna, historien om hur det gick till när hans företag på nio månader tog fram ett av de vaccin som kan frälsa oss från pandemin. Det borde tagit nio år, om det nu inte varit oår. Heta forskarfrågor dryftades, vyer vidgades och hopp ingavs om
In May and June 2020, more that 300 dead elephants were found in Botswana´s Okavango Delta. Initially it was suspected that poaching was the reason, but it was later shown that they were poisoned by cyanobacteria. This is an increasing environmental problem, and recent work to create a global dataset on algal blooms shows significant changes in the last twenty years. Toxic algal blooms in water, k

Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive type of cancer representing approximately nine percent of all breast cancer cases in Sweden. It is more common among younger women, has a high heredity factor and causes more frequent relapses earlier in the course of the disease than other breast cancers.

In Tanzania, girls on their period avoid going to school, something that affects their opportunities for education. A new study from LUCSUS shows that the menstrual cup could be a step towards better school attendance, and a life with more freedom. It could also play a part in reducing waste in the country. As a young woman in Tanzania, having your period is associated with great challenges, myths
