A method that will quickly and easily detect diabetic neuropathy, nerve damage caused by high blood sugar, is under development. The aim is to identify individuals in the risk zone so that it is possible to initiate early treatment to prevent, or even reverse, the development. Neuropathy can be difficult to diagnose.

The rapidly rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect plants’ absorption of nitrogen, which is the nutrient that restricts crop growth in most terrestrial ecosystems. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have now revealed that the concentration of nitrogen in plants’ tissue is lower in air with high levels of carbon dioxide, regardless of whether or not the plants’ growth is

Despite efforts to overcome public transport barriers, major challenges remain. The rapid transition to a more transport-efficient society also includes digitization and new forms of mobility. This creates a growing concern about widening exclusion and digital divides and new research is needed. The new research project aims to provide a deeper understanding of potential obstacles and conditions i
