In the wake of climate change and an increasingly warmer and drier climate, wildfires are becoming more common. In Ukraine, the war further increases the risk. Already in March this year, fires broke out around Chernobyl. CMES researcher Lina Eklund fears that a dry summer could lead to further fires with catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences. Physical geographer Lina Eklund, wh

The information age predates the internet by a long stretch – it began with life itself. Nobel Laureate Craig C. Mello described at the Lund Spring Symposium in May how living organisms are not merely carriers of genes, but also active managers, defenders, and editors of genetic information. Craig Mello, who received the Nobel Prize in 2006 for the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), together wi

2023 is set to be a watershed year for climate litigation cases globally. Also in Sweden, where the youth organisation Aurora is suing the Swedish state for insufficient climate action. LUCSUS postdoctoral researcher Salvatore Paolo De Rosa explains the aims and arguments of the current wave of climate litigation cases, and reflects on their impacts both within and outside the courts. Why are we s

New research results and methods by Abdulhakim Abdi, a researcher at the Department for Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), are increasing knowledge about tree species in Sweden’s forests. Forests play a crucial role in Sweden’s economy, biodiversity, and climate system, and carry tremendous cultural values, so knowing which tree species grow where is important for managing them sustainably.

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, dis

Being able to predict diseases before they develop has become somewhat akin to the search for the Holy Grail. The difference is that research has a greater chance of success in finding what they are looking for than King Arthur's knights did. And in many cases, there are significant health benefits to being able to predict disease risk early: prevention is better than cure. Biomarkers are trace el

Why do some people develop type 1 diabetes and others do not? Worldwide, researchers are now collaborating to find the answer to this complex question. Diabetes researchers at Lund University recently contributed data to a new study that shows that type 1 diabetes develops in three different ways in children. This improved understanding makes it possible for scientists to conduct new types of stud

An international consensus report on diabetes identifies the potential for diabetes screening, better classification of type 2 diabetes, and biomarkers that can predict cardiovascular disease. The report also highlights that more evidence is needed before it is possible to provide individualised treatment to all patients. The report is based on a large collaboration between 28 universities worldwi

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a new, updated version of a global climate model that will increase understanding of global warming. Through the new model, one can now look at how land use and changes to vegetation can influence, and be influenced by, climate change. It is the first time th

Spending time in the sun can make us both healthier and happier. But too much as well as too little sun can cause serious health problems. How much sun is right for you depends, among other things, on your genes, how much pigment you have, and where in the world you are. “We need to find a balance. I think we should continue to enjoy the sun in moderation – that is often good for us. But anyone wh

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. We spend 90 per cent of our time indoors. We can both exercise and shop without taking a step outdoors and the indoor trend is on the increase, despite the fact that we have little understanding of the air we are breathing. “The health effects may not be detected for a number of years”, says LTH researcher Aneta Wierz

Small sensors do a big job. Increasing numbers of things can now be controlled and measured, detected and regulated via small sensors on machines, in nature or in and on our bodies. These sensors gather and transmit large amounts of information via wireless communication, while requiring very little electrical power. To reduce electricity consumption, researchers must work with each tiny electroni

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a tumour, cancer cells grow and multiply in an uncontrolled manner. However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research.

What constitutes leadership? The idea of leadership is often that of a strong individual offering positive solutions and heroic deeds. But this is difficult to demonstrate in everyday interactions without falling into arguments that could be criticised, given that leadership is practised all the time and everywhere.

Research in particle physics often relies on sizable, cutting-edge computing resources for analysing large datasets, producing simulation samples, or developing and running complex machine learning models. While particle physics has been a pioneer in dealing with many “big science” issues and raised the stakes in the Large Hadron Collider era,today it is by no means isolated. More and more researc
