What does your work consist of? As a coordinator, I have an overarching perspective since I work with all the faculty’s programmes. My job is partly to coordinating all written exams in the QPS system, and optimise the processes around this, and partly to provide training and support to the faculty's teachers and administrators. Currently I am focused on the written exams, but further on I will wo

A new thesis is here. It is called "Trees Like Cabbages", by Philipp Jonas Kreutzer, who does his research at the Department of Economic History at LUSEM. The dissertation asks if the bioeconomy can deliver on its promises of replacing fossils when tested against innovations that the forest sector has actually produced. We asked Philipp to tell us a little about himself and his thesis and the firs

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward. The reason for the increas

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos was recently recruited as a postdoc in our lab. He thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. Earlier this spring, he defended

Det finns äldre som kan stå emot och till och med mildra utsatta situationer. Det visar en ny avhandling från Agata Yadav vid Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper och ansluten till CASE. Äldre människor som bor i utsatta områden i Sverige vill helst bo kvar. I avhandlingen belyses ”utsatta situationer” utifrån boendepreferenser och brist på prisvärda och åldersvänliga bostäder, hälsorelaterad funkti

Att det är en konst att skriva bra flervalsfrågor är det nog många lärare som håller med om. Flervalsfrågor, på engelska kallade Multiple Choice Questions eller MCQ, är så kallade stängda frågor, där den som svarar får välja bland ett antal givna svarsalternativ istället för att själv formulera ett svar.

Missnöjd med valet? Ingen fara. Valdagen är inte den enda chansen att påverka politiken. En ny studie med data från 270 000 personer i 40 länder visar att människor som engagerar sig politiskt mellan valen – genom namninsamlingar, demonstrationer, bojkotter, politikerkontakter etc. – oftare får sina åsikter representerade i politiken än de som avstår.

En stor andel av de lungor som doneras varje år kan inte användas för transplantation. Forskare vid Skånes universitetssjukhus och Lunds universitet har i en studie på djur nått resultat som ger hopp om att fler donerade lungor ska kunna rädda liv i framtiden. En pilotstudie har nu inletts för att se om behandlingen har samma positiva resultat hos människor. Varje år blir cirka 190 avlidna persone
