Mathematics Professor Kalle Åström studies the future of agriculture with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). He develops mathematical models to optimise harvests and contribute to climate-friendly agriculture. Artificial intelligence and agriculture may seem like two different worlds, but not for Kalle Åström. On the contrary, he sees synergies and is keen to bring the two together. The Pro

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

Epigenetiken har gett forskare nya möjligheter att förstå orsakerna bakom typ 2-diabetes och hur sjukdomen utvecklas. I framtiden kan epigenetiska biomarkörer användas för att förutspå sjukdomen och individanpassa behandlingen. Forskare inom diabetes och epigenetik vid Lunds universitet sammanfattar de viktigaste framstegen i en översiktsartikel som publiceras i Nature Reviews Endocrinology. Orsak

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Consumers are demanding cheaper clothing while more are becoming aware and reassessing their consumption: second hand rather than “fast fashion”. The sustainability challenges of clothing companies often have to do with long supply chains – and the consumers’ demands. But together, consumers, businesses and politician

Världens äldsta kompletta jaktvapen i trä är ”bara” 200 000 år, inte 300 000 som forskarna tidigare trott. Det visar en datering som Lunds universitet medverkat i. Upptäckten innebär att spjuten härstammar från neandertalarna som bedrev en lömsk och sofistikerad bakhållsjakt. I mitten av 1990-talet gjorde arkeologer i den tyska staden Schöningen en hisnande upptäckt. Djupt nere i en kolgruva påträ

The AI ​​chat can answer questions, translate, write code, or write an exciting short story. The possibilities fascinate and perhaps worry some, but what is ChatGPT really about? "The way I see it, the chat bot mainly fulfills two functions; as a coach and as a productivity tool," says Björn Svensson, Director of studies and lecturer in informatics at LUSEM. Björn Svensson is part of a working gro

Work is slowly starting back up again after a long and much-needed break. Before I turn my attention to what lies ahead, I would like to begin by looking back briefly. At the end of last autumn, I travelled to Chicago, partly to visit my son, who is an exchange student at Illinois Institute of Technology, and partly to visit the University of Chicago to explore potential collaborations. The timing

Several faculties have merged different departments or are about to do so. The Faculty of Engineering (LTH) merged two departments at the turn of the year, the Facult of Social Sciences has decided on one merger and is on the way to a second, while the Faculty of Science will make a decision after the summer. In a policy decision last year, the Faculty of Social Sciences decided that within a few

The number of students with some form of impairment at Lund University has increased by almost 300 per cent in the last ten years. “My staff have more to do every year,” says Kia Olsson, head of office for Student Support and Advising Services. Lund University is not unique in experiencing an increase in the number of students requiring different types of support. The same trend has been evident a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Eva Nordmark was 62 when she received her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. But rather than life ending, it gave her the chance to reclaim parts of her life that she had not previously had time for. It is a sunny autumn day at the Humlamaden rehab centre outside Veberöd, and the stable is full of life and activity. The 32-year-o

He has designed a transport box that keeps hearts alive outside the body and developed a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device. But during a visit to nuns in Africa, he was suspected of being a spy. Meet Stig Steen, a post-retirement professor of thoracic surgery, who is driven by an unshakeable belief that the greatest things in life are on the other side of the mountain. If Stig Steen had f

Preschool and primary school children will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how people can protect nature. The Natural Nations co-operation project is introducing biodiversity into the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and nature was part of general education, and knowledge was also transmitted between generations. Today, the

Food impacts not only the body but also the brain. Researchers at Lund University strive to understand how a diet rich on fat and sugar impacts memory functions in relation to obesity and type 2 diabetes. Their new study on mice shows that although an unhealthy diet leads to memory impairment, the damage does not have to be permanent. Obesity is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and car
