Everyone knows about source criticism, but researchers Jutta Haider and Olof Sundin want to emphasise source confidence. “There has been an intensive focus on the critical aspect. Pupils leave school with the attitude that you cannot trust anything, so source confidence is an important complement to source criticism. There must be confidence in our social institutions”, says Jutta Haider. Olof Sun

In connection with a new report on measures to mitigate climate change, researchers at Lund University in Sweden see some hopeful signs. Among other things, Lars J Nilsson, Professor of Environmental and Energy Systems at Lund University, thinks there are good prospects for achieving zero emissions by 2050 in industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals, which are currently responsible for majo

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA. In total, 6 600 children at increased risk of developing coeliac disease were f

A few days after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the former Dutch Ambassador to Ukraine told BBC that his parents-in-law did not dare to go to a refugee shelter because they were afraid to contract Covid-19. This vivid example links violence and forced displacement with the Covid-19 pandemic. Sepahvand and Verwimp study this link using unique detailed panel data from

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support

There is no doubt that retailing is undergoing a significant structural transformation. During the last decade or so, many stores have closed. Yet, at the same time, online retailers are opening physical stores and showrooms and many long-established retailers are investing in new and innovative store formats. This suggests that the physical store is not ‘dead’ but that its role and function is ch

Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des

Henning Larsen Architects are the architects behind Forum Medicum and Design Director Ingela Larsson has worked on the project for eight years. Seeing the building being put into use is fantastic, she says. Forum Medicum finally stands ready. How does it feel? – Architecture is a slow art form.

When Anders Ackfeldt and 22 other researchers criticised the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s (MSB) research report “The Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden” for adding fuel to an overly conspiracy theory-tinged image of Islam, it provoked a deluge of threatening emails the following day. “My children were mentioned in the email and that got me worried. There is a limit when family is concerned. The

In 2017, the Faculty of Medicine received a private donation targeted at a team of researchers studying infectious diseases and public health in low-income countries, specifically HIV and tuberculosis in Ethiopia. This research team is now to receive an additional SEK 6 million to develop its research activities. The new donation is targeted at continued research into tuberculosis (TB) and HIV. As

One percent of the world’s population accounts for more than half of the carbon dioxide emissions from passenger air travel. Thus, there is good reason to view air travel in a new light. It is actually an elitist activity, rather than what the aviation industry would like us to believe – that everyone flies. This is claimed by Stefan Gössling at Lund University and Linnaeus University in a new art

Alzheimer’s disease can lead to several widely divergent symptoms and, so far, its various expressions have mainly been observed through the behaviour and actions of patients. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now produced images showing the changes in the brain associated with these symptoms – a development which increases knowledge and could facilitate future diagnostics and treatmen

The dream of finding the “diabetes gene” is dead. However, partly thanks to Leif Groop – professor and multiple award recipient for his ground-breaking research – we will look at type 2 diabetes in a whole new way in the future. He is now retiring, and in an interview with diabetesportalen.se he looks back on his eventful career in research. The study that since 2006 has been the central hub of th

Oksana Tymoshchuk, professor from Ukraine, came to Sweden in April 2022 when a full-scale war broke out in her country. A grant from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation brought Oksana and Iben Lundgaard together and today Oksana is working in the Lundgaard lab trying to find out more about the mysterious glymphatic system. We are all well aware of the situation in Ukraine. Prof Oksana Tymoshc
