Why do people slack off at work? Last year it was revealed that 20 workers at a big Swedish mining company had been slacking off at work by taking turns clocking each other in and out. The scheme had been going on for several years - supposedly costing the company millions of dollars. How is such major slacking possible? In his new book “Empty Labor: Idleness and Workplace Resistance” (Cambridge U

Through advanced analyses of meteorites, astronomers can determine that Tellus went from being a baby planet made of ice and carbon to reaching its current size thanks to millimetre-sized pebbles. The study

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals – small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed, but that can also damage our cells. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led from Lund University. For our cells to function, they need to maintain a careful balance between beneficial and harmful oxygen molecules known as free ra

The giant planet Jupiter was formed four times further from the sun than its current orbit, and migrated inwards in the solar system over a period of 700 000 years. Researchers found proof of this incredible journey thanks to a group of asteroids close to Jupiter. It is known that gas giants around other stars are oft

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In order to drive a car, you need a good balance between accelerator and brake. The same applies to a part of the brain – the striatum - that controls our movements. Research at Lund University in Sweden has led to new findings on the interaction between the “accelerator” and the “brake” in the striatum. These finding

This year’s environmental report from Lund University highlights several positive developments: the University is meeting many of its sustainability targets, train travel is increasing and environmental requirements in procurement are increasing. At the same time, carbon emissions remain at roughly the same level and there are ongoing challenges with purchases linked to high carbon footprints, par

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening.

Valberedningen har föreslagit att LTH, från årsskiftet, ska ledas i tre år av Margaret McNamee och Ulf Ellervik. Att jobba tillsammans och fundera ut vem som ska göra vad var okontroversiellt, menar kandidaterna till posten som LTH:s rektor respektive prorektor. I den närmast fullsatta IKDC-hörsalen hade LTH:s studenter och medarbetare samlats för att lyssna till valberedningens kandidater till re

Plaståtervinning och avfallshantering i all ära, men vad blir den egentliga miljövinsten om plastproduktionen fördubblas inom den närmaste 20-årsperioden? Den frågan ställer sig forskare som menar att mer fokus måste läggas på hur plasten produceras. En ny forskningsstudie visar att det inte finns något politiskt intresse för de initiala stegen plastens livscykel; det vill säga vilka råvaror använ

Gymnasieelever ska på skoltid få träna upp sin förmåga att hantera stress och motgångar och diskutera andra sätt att tänka om sig själva och andra. ”Liknande försök i andra länder visar på goda resultat”, säger forskarna.

I alla kurser där studenter arbetar en längre stund med en skriftlig eller muntlig uppgift tycker jag att det passar att låta studenterna ge varandra respons. Responsmöten går utmärkt att genomföra digitalt – det finns till och med många fördelar med det framför att träffas fysiskt eftersom det ofta är lättare att skapa struktur och effektivitet digitalt. Dessutom är break-out-rum i Zoom tystare,
