Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

In times of new geopolitical challenges, the concept of total defense has been revived, in which all citizens contribute to national defense efforts. How authorities communicate this new strategy, and when such crisis communication leads to increased defense willingness, is an important issue that Hanna Bäck and Roxanna Sjöstedt, together with Amanda Remsö and Emma Renström from Kristianstad Unive

Our city centres and their development are a subject of constant debate. Ulf Johansson suggests that, if we let the market decide, our city centres will eventually be emptied of retail. Most recently, representatives from our food retailers suggested to municipalities that regulations on establishment locations be relaxed, advocating for the mantra of letting the market rule (Dagligvarunytt 2022a,

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

What makes a university a university? The simple answer would be that the institution hosts teaching and research. Yet a university is so much more than that; it might be easiest to capture the essence of the universe that is a university by summarising the year that has just ended. It is a razor sharp, teeming, testing, reflective universe that pushes boundaries in disruptive, eloquent and powerf

We all know that when it burns, it smokes. But what do we really know about the contents of that smoke and how it is affected by different fire processes? Not only that, but how do these smoke particles affect the emergency personnel who are first on the scene?
