Stadsplanerare har det inte helt lätt. Städer måste byggas tätare eftersom omgivande jordbruksmark och natur måste skyddas - samtidigt som hälsokraven är högt ställda. Under fem år har forskare närstuderat förtätningsplaner i tre städer och hittat nycklar till hur den svåra ekvationen kan lösas. Lösningen är i korthet att fokusera på invånarnas välmående samt att inte bara följa befintliga standar

And how do you rebuild a country that wants to move beyond the old Soviet structures, with a green transition in sight? These were some of the topics of discussion when a ministerial delegation from Ukraine visited LTH. I

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

Turismperspektivet är en bra ingång för att förstå vårt samhälle, skriver Malin Zillinger i tidskriften Organisation & Samhälle. Turism handlar lika mycket om rumslig förflyttning som om samhälleliga utvecklingsprocesser som griper in i varandra. Här reflekterar hon kring turismmobilitet som en av många mobiliteter, turismens roll för att upprätthålla nära relationer samt hur svårt det är att tänk

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation.
