Several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases have been discovered, according to new research by Jonas Ljungberg at Lund University, published in Cliometrica. This can have major consequences for both research and the decisions politicians make regarding economic policy. Jonas Ljungberg needed access to different European countries' consumer price indices (CPIs) for the last

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"? Weather attribution is a new phenomenon that is changing this. Climate scientist Wilhelm May at Lund University helps us ge

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a new book, sociologist Lisa Flower shows how lawyers manage their emotions in the courtroom, where emotional displays traditionally are unwelcomed.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair.

Att ställa diagnos på Alzheimers sjukdom kan vara svårt, eftersom flera andra tillstånd kan ge samma symtom. Men nu finns en ny metod som avbildar hjärnan och visar den spridning av proteinet tau som finns enbart vid Alzheimers. – Metoden fungerar väldigt bra. Jag tror den kommer att finnas i kliniskt bruk världen över om bara några år, säger Oskar Hansson, professor i neurologi vid Lunds universi

Exercise is an important part of the treatment for those who have osteoarthritis. But even before one is affected by osteoarthritis, in this case knee osteoarthritis, different types of exercise can be more or less advantageous, depending on how much muscle mass is around the knee joint. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease characterized by pain and limited mobility in the joint. The disease can lead
