Nair Ferreira Barbosa da Costa, kindly called Voinha in the family, was married off at 14. She gave birth to thirteen children, had to leave her first four children behind, fled 1500 miles to escape an abusive marriage and later became a single mother. "I had the guts. If I decided to do something, I would just do it." Now, Agenda 2030 PhD student Iury Salustiano Trojaborg's interviews with her gr
On Friday, February 28, Monica Porzionato defended her thesis "Feeling the changing climate: An affective approach to the strategic communication of floods in a tourist city".

A new international study shows that ice loss in the Arctic is leading to increased evaporation from Arctic marginal seas, such as the North Sea, and that the increased atmospheric moisture has clear consequences for precipitation in the Northern Hemisphere. It is well known from research that climate change has contributed to a doubling of temperatures in the Arctic compared to the global average

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

Symptoms for patients with the gastrointestinal disease IBS improved as much by eating less sugar and starch as for those who followed FODMAP – the diet currently recommended to patients. The results, presented in a new study from Lund University in Sweden, also show that weight loss is greater and sugar cravings are reduced among those who follow the starch and sucrose-reduced diet.

Kan det amerikanska sjukvårdssystemet dra nytta av ett forskningsprojekt i skånska primärvården? Ja, det tycker USA’s nationella forskningsfinansiär NIH. Ett anslag på 33 miljoner kronor går nu till Oskar Hansson vid Lunds universitet och hans senaste projekt inom alzheimerforskning. Vi vill se om diagnostiken av Alzheimers i primärvården kan underlättas genom att använda blodprovet. Oskar Hansson
Att anställa en barnflicka eller au pair gör föräldrarna mer jämställda, men medför nya former av ojämlikhet inom och mellan familjer. Samtidigt tvingas barnen gå igenom svåra separationer till följd av branschens kortvariga anställningar, visar en studie från sociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet. Au pairer och barnflickor blev vanligare i svenska hem sedan avdrag för hushållsnära tjän
