– We have a moral responsibility to document loss of cultural heritage, indigenous and local knowledge, declining ecosystems and eroding sense of place, says LUCSUS post-doctoral fellow Guy Jackson. He has co-authored a literature review on non-economic loss and damage which highlights the need for more research on intangible cultural heritage, and how it connects to our physical surroundings, as

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority o

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes who undergo a gastric bypass operation recover from the disease within a few days of the operation, long before their body weight falls. No one knows how this happens, but researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have now come up with a partial answer. In t

When planning for food in times of crisis – what foodstuffs do we imagine? Many think of tin cans and freeze-dried food, but the fact is that if a crisis occurs, it is not stockpiled cans that will save us. Food preparedness is a subject being taken up by researchers from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Almedalen Week, one of their reflections being  how local growing of crops that do not need

A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta — a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caused by neuronal damage. The study is published in Acta Neuropathologica. An increased risk o
