De som vårdar närstående med demens eller depression har den högsta belastningen av anhörigvårdarna. Stödet från samhället är långt ifrån tillräckligt, menar Beth Dahlrup som nyligen disputerat vid Lunds universitet. - Anhöriga till personer med demens och anhöriga till personer med depression visar sig ha den högsta bördan när de vårdar sjuka närstående i hemmet, säger Beth Dahlrup, forskare i ge

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har lyckats tillverka storskaliga och sfärformade LED-ytor vilket tidigare har varit en teknisk utmaning. Experimentet, som möjliggjordes av en enkel kemisk reaktion, kan bli avgörande för en betydligt billigare produktion av lysdioder. Perovskit är ett medelhårt mineral som upptäcktes i Uralbergen 1839 och tillhör kalciumtitanoxidfamiljen. Vad den tyske mineralogen

During the pandemic, the free COVID Symptom Study app has helped researchers understand the complexity and spread of the corona virus better. “The study has exceeded our expectations since its launch in Sweden in April 2020. Participants from all over Sweden got involved and many of them have spent one minute every day answering questions about their health”, says Maria Gomez, Professor of physiol

Vad hände med generationen som upplevde Jasminrevolutionen i Tunisien som unga? Hur skiljer sig deras uppfattningar från de som bara var små barn, och inte kommer ihåg förhoppningarna om ökad frihet och ett bättre liv? Studier i fokusgrupper, där både generation Z och milleniegenerationen Y finns representerade, ger oväntade svar, men visar ändå på en viss optimism om ytterligare demokratisering.

For decades, the Swedish forest have been intensely managed through clear-cutting and tree planting to maximize wood production. This type of management has created a strong culture and tradition where foresters feel that it is difficult to gain knowledge about, and support for, other forest management methods, for instance continuous cover forestry. This is according to researchers at LUCSUS who

Every chair is taken and the leaders of the workshop have had to turn participants away. Among doctoral students, there is clearly great interest in the topic – to finish your thesis on time and feel good along the way.   “I think the workshop is great, it opens your mind and the techniques seem realistic to use in your work”, says Kristin Osk Ingvarsdottir who this spring will commence the final

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Leukemia stem cells have a clever survival strategy, they evade the body's immune defenses, making the disease difficult to treat. In a recent study in mice published in Haematologica, researchers at Lund University identified a gene that helps these cells avoid detection by natural killer (NK) cells—the immune system’s frontline defense. Each year in Sweden, around 350 adults are diagnosed with a

Allt fler vill hjälpa bin och andra pollinerare och väljer därför att odla blommor rika på nektar och pollen. Men vilka blommor gör allra störst nytta? Enligt pollineringsforskare beror det på syftet. Vill man gynna hotade biarter och den biologiska mångfalden bör man välja en mångfald av växter av inhemskt ursprung. Är man lantbrukare med stora arealer insektspollinerade jordbruksgrödor kan det v

Growing forests can limit climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their biomass as they grow. How much carbon a forest stores varies between tree species, the forests age, weather conditions and how the forest is managed. Young growing forests store a lot of carbon, as the forest gets older the carbon sequestration capacity decreases. When trees are f
