Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now reveal what the Danish King Hans had planned to offer when laying claim to the Swedish throne in 1495: a two-metre-long Atlantic sturgeon. The well-preserved fish remains were found in a wreck on the bottom of the Baltic Sea last year, and species identification was made possible through DNA analysis. At midsummer in 1495, the Danish King Hans was e

A forest management method different to those practised today would contribute to greater welfare and wellbeing for society in general, compared with current methods that mainly benefit the forestry industry. This has been shown in a new study by two researchers from Lund University in Sweden. There is an intensive debate at the moment about the best way to use the forest as a resource, not least

B cells and the antibodies they produce play an important role in our immune system, protecting us from the microscopic enemies that make us ill. Uncovering how they form and are ‘programmed’ during development is key to better understanding the immune response to infections and vaccinations. A new study by researchers from Lund University in Sweden provides new insights into the origin and develo

Mammography screening supported by artificial intelligence (AI) is a safe alternative to today’s conventional double reading by radiologists and can reduce heavy workloads for doctors. This has now been shown in an interim analysis of a prospective, randomised controlled trial, which addressed the clinical safety of using AI in mammography screening. The trial, led by researchers from Lund Univers

What do muffins and space travel have in common? Answer: They affect our genes through altered DNA methylation patterns. Two researchers who studied this recently met at the public defence of a doctoral thesis at Lund University. Andrew Feinberg from Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine in Baltimore, USA, has often been called the "father of epigenetics”.  When the US Space Agency NASA de

In his doctoral thesis in sociology "Structures of subcontracting: Work organisation, control, and labour in the Swedish building sector", Rasmus Ahlstrand analyses the increased use of subcontractors and explores new forms of work organisation in the Swedish building sector. A key contribution of his study is the concept of masked staffing, which refers to unauthorised ways of organising labour t

To find out why so many people have left their farms in north-eastern Syria, physical geographer Lina Eklund uses both satellite data and interviews. ‟It is important to understand what can be linked to climate change and what are societal factors, so that we can better equip ourselves for the future.” Lina Eklund has specialised in remote sensing, which enables her to determine what happens over

There is widespread agreement among the physicists and chemists for their establishment in Science Village to take place simultaneously and as soon as possible. There are also proposals for how the two departments could work together. Leif Bülow, head of the Department of Chemistry, describes the forthcoming establishment and merger as an incredible opportunity and says the vast majority of those

Our chief veterinarian, Anders Forslid, is retiring with mixed feelings, but sees new exciting opportunities opening up. We wish Anders a happy and sweater-free midsummer and many long and lovely summers after that. I saw your wobbly book stacks in your office.

Under onsdagen presenterades sex av de mest innovativa idéer och projekt som just nu finns inom Lunds universitet. De fick dela på totalt 300 000 kronor när Lunds universitets och Sparbanken Skånes pris för framtidens innovationer delades ut. Ett solenergisystem för skolor i utvecklingsländer och en ny behandling för patienter som drabbas av hjärtinfarkt korades till vinnare. Det är fjärde året so

För drygt 40 år sedan satt Åke Lernmark, då nybliven medicinstudent, på ett extrajobb i ett laboratorium i Umeå och mätte blodsockret på möss. Sedan dess är han fast. - Ja, jag fångades direkt av forskningen, säger Åke Lernmark. Allt mer av hans tid slukades av forskningen, medicinstudierna allt mer en bisak som han med olika knep sökte slippa. Någon examen blev det aldrig.- Ibland tänker jag att

Rätt använt kan Nationella Diabetesregistret vara ett ovärderligt redskap i kvalitetsarbetet ute på vårdcentralerna. Teknikstrul, brist på rutiner och missar i överföringen mellan olika journalsystem kan dock sätta käppar i hjulet. - Vad ni får fram beror ju på vad ni stoppat in, säger diabetessjuksköterskan Marianne Lundberg. Vården av diabetespatienter skiljer mellan olika vårdcentraler. För att

För en matematiker är havets vågor något som har att göra med differentialekvationer, dessutom tämligen kluriga sådana. Med hjälp av matematisk forskning kan man öka förståelsen för hur vattenvågor bildas och rör sig – vilket i slutändan kan vara värdefullt exempelvis i arbetet med att förutspå uppkomsten av farliga monstervågor. – Trots att vattenvågor utgör ett av de mest uppenbara exemplen på v

Populärvetenskaplig kommunikation är jätteviktig. Det tycker tre LU-forskare som vunnit pris för sin förmåga att berätta begripligt om sin forskning: Christina Isaxon, Nellie Linander och Marie Dacke. – Om man inte kan förklara för andra vad man gör, då är det en viktig pusselbit i ens arbete som saknas, tycker Christina Isaxon.
