När svenskamerikanska friidrottaren Niklas Cederström skadade sin höft under sin collegetid i USA, fick han under 8 månaders tid med hjälp av en fysioterapeut lära sig om att gå och springa. Av läkare fick han höra att han vid 40 års ålder skulle behöva en ny höft och det enda Niklas kunde tänka på var att han hade för evigt tappat sin identitet som idrottare. När Niklas under sin rehabilitering v

CCT, Consumer Culture Theory, är en internationell konferens om konsumentkultur som i år arrangerades den 27-30 juni av Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet. Under årets konferens deltog 317 deltagare från 25 olika länder. Fyra forskare från Tjänstevetenskap bidrog med material. Dystopi eller utopi – hur påverkar det konsumentens beteende? Efter det senaste decenniets oroligheter i form av orätt

Innebörden av ordet otrygghet har förändrats betydligt i Sverige. När det amerikanska forskningsfältet "Fear of Crime" introducerades i Sverige under 1980-talet översattes det till "otrygghet". Från att ha tidigare använts för att beskriva materiell ojämnhet och bristande förutsägbarhet, kom "otrygghet" nu att associeras till brott och våld. Hanna Sahlin Liljas avhandling beskriver trygghetsforskn

By utilising quantum mechanics, a quantum computer can solve computational problems that today's supercomputers cannot. But there are problems. As the circuits in quantum computers get bigger, they become more difficult to control. Now researchers have demonstrated a new way to construct quantum circuits for individual light particles. This could enable larger and more complex circuits - crucial t

Research has shown that only one out of three individuals with osteoarthritis receives appropriate care. Doctoral candidate Simone Battista aims to explore why many osteoarthritis patients are not offered the right treatment. Simultaneously, he seeks to understand how aware individuals with osteoarthritis are of available treatments to alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms. This study is a collaborati

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have made detailed observations of the mysterious exoplanet WASP-121 b. The discoveries of the element titanium and jet streams challenge our understanding of the winds and chemistry found on ultrahot planets. Just over 5,800 exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than our Sun – have been discovered since the

Packed tightly together like twinkling stellar beehives, these globular clusters are made up of hundreds of thousands of stars. Now, for the first time, a team of scientists can reveal how the ancient and mysterious star systems actually form. The existence of these globular clusters, comprising millions of stars, has been known since the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. Globular cl

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden
