In mid-June, the University’s biologists fine-combed grass, bushes, trees, asphalt and waterways around the department’s buildings. Their aim was to find out what species of plants and animals lived there. Now their mapping project is complete, and their findings include 21 endangered species and six species never previously encountered in Sweden. “All six of them are hymenoptera. In addition, two

Threats against researchers are increasing, according to acting chief security officer Håkan Jönsson, who received 16 reports of threats last year. The rise is in online threats, whereas the number of disruptive or violent people on campus is dropping – probably thanks to more locked doors. “But the hidden figures are

There is no doubt that retailing is undergoing a significant structural transformation. During the last decade or so, many stores have closed. Yet, at the same time, online retailers are opening physical stores and showrooms and many long-established retailers are investing in new and innovative store formats. This suggests that the physical store is not ‘dead’ but that its role and function is ch

Last year was the warmest year on record and 2024 is on track to be even warmer. Democracy is in decline and food insecurity is increasing as a result of military conflicts, economic crises and extreme weather. The ability of the United Nations to act globally is significantly weaker than before owing to the geopolitical situation. This comes at a time when we really need international cooperation

Coeliac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, has until now been all but unknown in Ethiopia. Yet as more people adopt a Western diet, the number of cases is increasing. “Few people here have heard of coeliac disease, not even among doctors,” says Adugna Negussie Gudeta, a doctoral student at the Department of Clinical Sciences in Malmö, who, together with his supervisor Daniel Agardh, is doi

I den politiska debatten förmedlas ofta bilden av klimatomställningen som en väg kantad av uppoffringar. Men flera forskare tecknar bilden av en vardag som också kan bli bättre än dagens. Vad som upplevs som bra och dåligt varierar från person till person och upplevelserna kan variera över tid. – Att något blir bättre eller sämre är ju ett subjektivt mått. Normer ändras över tid och det som upplev

Årets miljöredovisning visar flera ljusglimtar: många av hållbarhetsmålen uppnås, tågresandet ökar och miljökrav vid upphandlingar ökar. Samtidigt är klimatutsläppen på ungefär samma nivå och det finns fortsatta utmaningar med inköp kopplat till höga klimatavtryck, särskilt kopplat till fastigheter och laboratorieutrustning. Varje år skickar universitetet in en redovisning av vårt miljöledningsarb

When researchers are working in the field, they may be faced with challenging and sometimes dangerous situations. How does Lund University prepare its doctoral students and researchers for fieldwork? When LUM asks about the faculties’ procedures, it becomes clear that the departments are primarily responsible.

What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A
