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

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

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. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

Can you tell me a little about your research area?I research diseases and conditions of the hip joint that affect children but can also cause pain and osteoarthritis in adulthood. One example is hip dysplasia, where the acetabulum does not sufficiently cover the femoral head. Hip dysplasia occurs in 0.5-1% of newborns in Sweden and is almost always detected at the maternity ward. When diagnosed ea

In this autumn’s second "Dean's corner" Charlotta Turner reflects on the Faculty’s first Inspiration Day for Science Teachers and on the ongoing work to establish a Learning Lab in the Astronomy Building – a testbed for the teaching and learning environments of the future. It’s now been a week since the Faculty hosted its very first Inspiration day for science teachers, and I must say I still smil

All employees and students at Lund University are welcome to the X Lab with their own projects, course work and ideas. For a long time, Lund University has lacked an open meeting place for staff and students to gather and work on their own projects/course work or share knowledge. In response to this, LTH has built up the X Lab, whose activities are based on collaboration and co-creation. The X Lab

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Economist and researcher Andreas Bergh is closely involved in public debate. Few things make him really angry. One of them is stupidity. Like when the city of Malmö fails to create simple entry-level jobs because of unreasonable demands on people who want to start mobile food trucks. “That is how the sluggish Swedish

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The University’s contract education needs to grow in order to match the skills needed among companies and public authorities in the region.

Emily Sonestedt investigates how food affects the health and the risk to develop type 2 diabetes. This knowledge is of importance to society when developing food-based dietary guidelines. It can be hard to make healthy food choices. The bread rolls behind the counter in the café at Clinical Research Centre (CRC) in Malmö have a dark color, but it does not have to mean that they are a healthy choic

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. LUM asked a handful of employees this question after almost a year of working from home. Several of them spoke about putting on some extra weight, more TV and less exercise – but they were not too keen on putting their face to that in LUM... However, another group of employees told us about their new and creative ways

Istället för att vara ledig från jobbet som forskningssjuksköterska i POInT-studien, fick hon rycka in och förstärka en covidavdelning på Skånes universitetssjukhus i Malmö.   Under sex veckor var Caroline Nilsson och två andra kollegor från forskningsav

Inom diabetesforskningen screenas personer som är i riskzonen för att utveckla typ 1-diabetes. Dagens metod innebär att det tas flera blodprov vid varje besök. Ett internationellt forskarlag har nu upptäckt att det går att följa upp risken för sjukdom med ett enkelt stick i fingret. Både barn och vuxna kan få typ 1-diabetes, som kräver behandling med insulin hela livet. Symtomen kan utvecklas unde

Internationella kvinnodagen vid Lunds universitet uppmärksammades med en halvdag på temat ”150 år med kvinnor i akademin – föregångare, förebilder, utmaningar.” Intresset var stort och LUX-aulan fylldes snabbt av kvinnor och några män från universitetet och utanför. Vicerektor Anki Wallengren hälsade alla välkomna till 150-års-firandet av att kvinnor tilläts studera vid högre utbildning i Sverige.

Så många som 38 procent av alla gymnasietjejer hade järnbrist och risken var särskilt hög bland de som följde en vegetarisk eller pescetarisk kost. Det visar en ny studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet. Järn är ett livsviktigt näringsämne, och brist kan leda till trötthet, nedsatt koncentration och i värsta fall blodbrist. Nu visar en studie att fler än var tredje gymnasietjej lider av jär

I den jättelika partikelacceleratorn Large Hadron Collider, LHC, vid CERN-laboratoriet i Schweiz och Frankrike når protonerna nästan ljusets hastighet innan de krockar med varandra.
