Dense urban areas amplify the effects of higher temperatures, due to the phenomenon of heat islands in cities. This makes cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Large investments in the electricity network will be necessary to cool us down during heatwaves and keep us warm during cold snaps, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. “Unless we account for extreme climat

During the pandemic, physical summits were replaced by Zoom meetings, and global political leaders had to quickly adjust. How did they visually convey their status in this new world of digital diplomacy? A new study from Lund University in Sweden analysed over 50 photos from the first virtual G20 meeting in 2020. When political leaders meet, there is usually a strict protocol, and national attribu

One of Multipark's associated research groups has published a new study that reveals the role of astrocytes in the development of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Their findings, now in the journal Brain Communications, provide valuable insights into the cellular mechanisms of the disease and open up new possibilities for developing early diagnostics and potential interventions for patients with FTD

Living in a community with access to clean water and functioning sanitation is a basic requirement for people’s good health. In Kazakhstan in Central Asia, people cannot depend on a reliable water supply and many are at risk of contracting serious infectious diseases. However, the country now wants to focus on improving public health and has turned to Lund University for help. Approximately 2.1 bi

Gases used in anaesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows that greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic gases have decreased by 27% over the last ten years. By swapping out the anaesthetic gas with the highest climate impact, the climate impact of anaesthetic gas

Each year, one in four women suffers from bacterial vaginosis, something that is currently treated with antibiotics. However, recently a gentler, antibiotic-free alternative has been authorised for sale in the EU. The chance discovery behind the innovation was made by a group of researchers from Lund University in Sweden. Stinging, itching and odorous vaginal discharge is a common and a stigmatise

In an international study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a gene variant that controls the body’s capability to form new blood vessels in muscles – a mechanism that affects physical performance, health and recovery. The favourable gene variant is considerably more common among top athletes in endurance sports, compared with both top athletes in explosive sports and non-at

“Toke is shy but does the most exploring of all of them, while Siggi is relaxed and friendly. But you have to know them to be able to work with them”, says cognitive scientist Stephan Reber.

One of the biggest perks of teaching at university? Supervising students and seeing them grow into their role. That is at least according to senior lecturers Olof Hallonsten and Anna Jonsson. Detectives with magnifying glasses and catching and preparing a fish. Those are two of the metaphors that Anna Jonsson and Olof Hallonsten use to explain the relationship between supervisor and student, the v

More people working from home does not necessarily mean less travel. On the contrary, leisure travel may increase to compensate for sedentary work in the home, according to transport researcher Lena Winslott Hiselius. This can become a challenge for public transport. There are strong indications that remote working is here to stay, at least in part and in certain workplaces. Lena Winslott Hiselius
