We should not be afraid to joke about one another’s ethnic background. Used with sensitivity, such jokes can instead help to challenge the stereotypical image of immigrants, according to Lund University sociologist Henriette Frees Esholdt, who has studied humour at a multi-ethnic workplace in Denmark. Henriette Frees Esholdt’s study was carried out in a large organisation in the hospitality sector

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In accidents or terror attacks which are suspected to involve radioactive substances, it can be difficult to determine whether people nearby have been exposed to radiation. But by analysing mobile phones and other objects which come in close contact with the body, it is possible to retrieve important information on ra

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmö’s largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the worms’ unique ability to regenerate has been harnessed to help accelerate wound healing in human skin models. A research team at Lund University was recently contacted by researchers at a Korean skincar

Smokers have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, but a higher risk of dying from the disease, according to a large population study led by Lund University in Sweden. The researchers followed more than 350 000 people over several decades, and the results are now published in European Urology. It is well known that smokers have an increased risk of developing various cancers, but there have

Today's energy system is not equipped to deal with the extreme weather of the future, according to an international research group that tested 13 potential climate change scenarios on 30 cities in four different climate zones in Sweden. A growing share of renewable energy makes the system even more vulnerable, according to the projections published in Nature Energy. The climate is changing, and we

16-19 June, 2025 Chinese globalisation both past and present has been deeply entangled in processes of global extractivism that have underpinned industrialisation and capitalist development around the world. From the 19th century gold rushes in settler colonial contexts to the contemporary global scramble for lithium, Chinese labour and capital have been key to the making of our contemporary globa

About 540 million years ago, our planet suddenly erupted with life, filling our oceans with a diversity of complex life. This is known as the Cambrian explosion, and for a long time scientists agreed it was triggered by a rise in oxygen levels in the atmosphere. But new research from Emma Hammarlund at Lund University is turning the tables completely on what scientists thought they knew to be true

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. En ny undersökning med över 2 000 personer med typ 2-diabetes i Sverige visar att hela 52 procent av de som haft diabetes i mindre än tre år aldrig har fått utbildning om sin sjukdom. I jämförelse med en tidigare genomförd undersökning 2010 pekar resultaten på en oroväckande trend; färre får utbildning, en allt stör

Insekters DNA går att fånga in och upptäcka via luften. Det visar forskning från Lunds universitet. Tekniken, som är ny på insektsområdet, kan få stor betydelse för att kartlägga biologisk mångfald framöver och väntas komplettera den traditionella metoden, att samla in insekter med fällor.

Runt 80 procent av dem som har Downs syndrom utvecklar Alzheimers sjukdom, ofta redan 40-50-årsåldern. Nu visar en svensk-amerikansk studie, ledd från Lunds universitet, att ett enkelt blodprov med stor säkerhet kan upptäcka Alzheimers sjukdom hos personer med Downs syndrom. Fynden är viktiga av flera skäl, inte minst möjligheten att ställa korrekt diagnos utan komplicerade ingrepp. Studien är nyl
