David Wästerfors, Veronika Burcar Alm and Erik Hannerz have published an article in New Media & Society dealing with crime case discussions on the Swedish platform Flashback. The article shows how the interactions form a "bumpy" path as the Flashback-writers together try to achieve knowledge, evidence and authority regarding the various crimes being discussed. Much of today's public discussion on

In May and June 2020, more that 300 dead elephants were found in Botswana´s Okavango Delta. Initially it was suspected that poaching was the reason, but it was later shown that they were poisoned by cyanobacteria. This is an increasing environmental problem, and recent work to create a global dataset on algal blooms shows significant changes in the last twenty years. Toxic algal blooms in water, k

In the major population survey, Malmö Offspring Study, researchers are trying to discover how our intestinal flora is affected by diet and the consequences this has on health. “We have about one and a half kilos of bacteria in our intestines”, says Louise Brunkwall – doctoral student in the research group Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease – Genetic Epidemiology. The Malmö Offspring Study is base

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Psychotherapy for panic disorder produces good results, and the effects are lasting. That is the result from a large long-term study from Lund University in Sweden. Two years after treatment were 70 per cent of the patients clearly improved and 45 per cent were remitted. Panic disorder is one of the most common causes

Many of those who are genetically predisposed to develop atrial fibrillation, which dramatically raises the risk of stroke, can be identified with a blood test. This is shown by new research from Lund University in Sweden. The number of people affected by atrial fibrillation is rising rapidly, partly as a result of the ageing population. Over recent years, a research group at Lund University in Sw

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on

Inför riksdagsvalet 2022 flyttade en del av den politiska diskussionen till TikTok. Att vi diskuterar svensk politik på en Kinaägd plattform där snabba klipp som tangerar primära känslor premieras av algoritmerna har förfärat många. Men formen är varken farlig eller särskilt ny - utan användes redan i antikens Grekland. Det säger kommunikationsforskaren Nils Gustafsson. Medieakademins årliga kartl

Varje år drabbas flera tusen personer i Sverige av så kallad ischemisk stroke. Tillståndet är livshotande, svårbehandlat och kan ge allvarliga funktionsnedsättningar. I ett stort pilotprojekt i Lund testar forskare att med hjälp av AI identifiera vilka som riskerar att drabbas och hur man kan skräddarsy såväl akutvård som rehabilitering efter patienternas individuella behov. – Förhoppningen är att

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

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone. In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, distr

Sweden’s industry uses about one third of the country’s entire energy consumption. How can industry convert to a better considered and sustainable circular economy? Researchers at Lund University are working closely with companies to find smarter solutions that focus on improving sustainability in materials recycling.

​​​​​​​Did you know that about 70% of rare diseases begin in childhood? How about that 1 in 5 cancers are considered a rare disease? Or that nearly three-quarters of all rare diseases are genetic diseases? With more than 6,000 rare diseases known to impact the lives of an estimated 300 million people around the world – rare diseases are all too common. Limited knowledge of these diseases often res

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers.

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu
