Almedals Week is just around the corner, and The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University is taking place on stage. This year’s program offers everything from quantum technology and biotechnology to semiconductors and the future of aviation. Annika Olsson, Dean at The Faculty of Engineering, will be in Visby. She says:“If we are to succeed in the transition to a sustainable and competitive societ

An evolutionary perspective should be taken into account to ensure long-term crop pollination. This is the conclusion of an article published by BECC and CEC-affiliated researchers at Lund University. The researchers build on recent findings that evolutionary processes, in response to landscape change, are happening faster than previously thought. The article presents a model that can help us unde

Last Tuesday, our PhD Candidate Lisa Heldt “nailed” her freshly printed PhD thesis. This traditional “spikning” takes place three weeks and three days before the official defense and it involves the PhD Candidate nailing (att spika in Swedish) their physical thesis to a public board where it can be read and scrutinized by the public before the official defense ceremony. At the same time, the spikn

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I en ny registerstudie från Centrum för primärvårdsforskning, ett samarbete mellan Lunds universitet och Region Skåne, har forskare undersökt hur värmeböljor påverkar dödligheten i Sverige. Resultaten visar en tydlig ökning i dödsfall de dagar då temperaturen överstiger +27 grader. Dessutom verkar risken att avlida

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Diabetes är den vanligaste orsaken till amputationer i västvärlden. Nu visar en internationell forskargrupp att blodfettssänkande läkemedel av typen fenofibrater minskar amputationsrisken med 36 procent. Orsakerna till att diabetespatienter kan tvingas amputera en del av en fot eller ett ben är flera. Dålig blodcirk

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a new article, researchers at Lund University have studied a new ice-skating technique that is more energy efficient than the traditional stride technique. By skating in arcs, ice hockey players can move just as quickly but with less energy loss. The authors say this could lead to better performance on the ice, as

A key goal of public health systems is to reduce existing socioeconomic disparities in health. Yet, the economic incentives facing healthcare providers sometimes work in the other direction. Specifically, when providers are remunerated by a fixed sum for taking the overall responsibility for a given patient, they are incentivised to avoid or undertreat patients whose care needs are relatively larg

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th
