For this year’s Kulturnatten, the theme at LUSEM was AI, and we dove into the subject from three different perspectives, represented by researchers from Marketing, Business Law and Informatics. Patrik Stoopendahl from Marketing took us on a consumer’s voyage from starting to look for a thing they wanted to buy and through a more an more mazelike jungle of back and forths of searches, suggested alt

Understanding the very first pathological events at the molecular level is key to developing treatments preventing neurodegenerative diseases. With a novel microspectroscopy approach combining optical and photothermal imaging, MultiPark researchers can follow early alterations of proteins involved in Alzheimer’s disease, before neurons degenerate. Their discoveries are published in the Journal of
Swedish healthcare is supposed to be guided by a principle of need, treating the most urgent cases first. Political reforms in recent decades have also introduced freedom of choice as a guiding principle. The rise of online doctor services on the healthcare market has made it clear that the two principles clash, suggests sociologist of law Peter Bergwall, who recently defended his dissertation on

Professors of literature Torbjörn Forslid and Anders Ohlsson helped bring the concept of shared reading to Sweden. They have now received funding from LU Innovation to develop and adapt it for use in upper-secondary schools. Shared reading is originally a British concept, which essentially involves a reading circle with reading aloud taking place in groups. When the group meets, the leader reads a

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has investigated a meteorite from Mars using neutron and X-ray tomography. The technology, which will probably be used when NASA examines samples from the Red Planet in 2030, showed that the meteorite had limited exposure to water, thus making life at that specific time and place unlikely. In a cloud of smoke, NASA's spacecraft Perseverance parachut
