Lunds universitet har etablerat Centrum för beredskap och resiliens (LUPREP) med målet att samla universitetets forskning och utbildning inom totalförsvar, krisberedskap och samhällsresiliens. Centrumet är placerat vid Campus Helsingborg och fungerar som en fakultetsöverbryggande plattform där forskare från hela universitetet möts kring komplexa samhällsutmaningar som spänner över discipliner.Inom

Nyligen fångade ett nytt instrument på det fyra meter stora VISTA-teleskopet vid det Europeiska sydobservatoriet i Chile in sitt första stjärnljus. Det markerar starten för en ny era i astronomin, där forskare ska kartlägga himlen i aldrig tidigare skådad detalj. Instrumentet, som fått namnet 4MOST, eller Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope, tar inte vanliga bilder av natthimlen. I stället samlar

När fiskar från olika miljöer möts är det inte alltid romantik i vattnet. Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar att aggressiva honor aktivt kan stoppa hanar från ”fel” miljö – ett beteende som i förlängningen kan bidra till att nya arter uppstår. Att förstå hur arter bildas är en av biologins mest grundläggande frågor. I en ny studie har forskare undersökt olika populationer av den säregna mos

According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, approximately one in five Swedes are already choosing not to buy American brands. The majority would consider boycotting American products such as Coca-Cola in favour of European or Swedish alternatives. A study conducted by brand researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Norstat Sweden, shows that virtually all Swedish c

More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification

The war in Gaza has caused conflict at universities in Sweden and abroad. Overcoming the differences between protestors and university managements and within groups of employees is likely to take time. We met with both Lund University’s Vice-Chancellor and protestors from the encampment in Lundagård. In this edition of LUM, they share their visions of how to move forward. We have also interviewed
