Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that epigenetic changes can cause type 2 diabetes. The researchers behind the new findings published in Nature Communications now aim to develop methods for disease prevention. We inherit our genes from our pa

We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing. The statement comes from Maria Blasi Romero, researcher in Biodiversity and Conservation at Lund University. “I went to COP15 to learn about the processes and how to share my research with those who can make use of the results

Different species of migrating bird have different genetically programmed procedures that signal when it is time to head off and when it is time to return. It may have to do with factors such as daylight, temperature, weather and the Earth’s magnetic field. These migration programmes have been studied before, but new technology and computational capacity make it possible to process large amounts o

Passion, creativity and community. That’s the essence of an ongoing craft trend, according to organisational researcher and homebrewer Stephan Schaefer. “Craft is a timeless form of work that has always been important for human development. But craft is not static. It adapts and develops to fit our modern times. This is an important message and something that companies can learn from,” he says. St

Living forests with diverse plants and animals, forests where you can hike, hunt or pick berries and mushrooms – will they still be there when the pressure on forestry production increases? Is it possible to increase production in a sustainable way, without reducing the possibility of achieving environmental and sustainability goals? Great hopes are being placed in the forest to provide the raw ma

Passports issued by fallen empires, decks of cards from the Iraq war, deceased Ukrainian students’ uncollected diplomas and much more. A new museum in Lund is collecting artefacts that show how international law affects people's lives. The initiative is being led by international law researchers who argue that we are currently witnessing a crisis of the entire international system. “International

An international team of researchers has investigated whether oral insulin can prevent early signs of type 1 diabetes and clinical diagnosis in children with an increased risk of developing the disease. Although treatment with oral insulin could not prevent development of diabetes-related autoantibodies, oral insulin delayed the rate of disease progression in children who developed such autoantibo

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was clearly illegal. Yet it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will be held accountable. Most people agree that war is morally wrong. But what is the legal framework? The UN Charter, which in 1945 laid the foundations for the UN's missions, powers, rules of procedure and organisation, prohibits military force between states. However, there are exceptions, such as when the

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go. If you are a farmer, with large areas of insect-pollinated crops, it might be easiest to aim for a few species of flo

Ny forskning bekräftar att förändrad användning av sociala medier främjar psykisk hälsa. Försökspersoner som minskade sin sociala mediekonsumtion till en halvtimme om dagen upplevde ökat välmående och självkänsla. Men även de som gick från att vara aktiva användare till mer passiva "scrollare" kunde rapportera hälsoeffekter som förbättrat fokus och koncentration i vardagen. Forskarna vid Instituti

I Frankrike har länge pågått en hätsk strid om könsinkluderande språk, där kritiker varnar för svårlästa texter. En ny avhandling visar dock att formerna fungerar som tänkt. De gör kvinnor mer synliga i läsarens föreställningar, utan att försämra läsbarheten i någon större utsträckning. I franskan har alla substantiv ett genus och är antingen maskulina eller feminina. Dessutom används den maskulin
