One of the two recent Lund University jubilee stamps depicts the young diabetes researchers Anna Edlund and Jones Ofori. They are pleased to be featured on the stamps – but it was a complete surprise to them both. “Obviously we knew that our picture had been taken. A couple of years ago, there was a photographer here

Net zero emission pledges by countries and companies are everywhere at the moment. Most of these pledges rely on massive amounts of carbon removal, yet details on how this will transpire remain largely absent. The COP26 agreement suggests that markets will play a central role, but there are significant problems with this approach. Carbon removal, also known as “negative emissions”, is the process

What is climate-related loss and when can it be considered disproportionate? This question is at the heart of Kelly Dorkenoo’s thesis which explores loss associated with land in smallholder farming communities in Cambodia. Her motivation was to deepen our understanding of – and to find ways to mitigate – loss arising from climate change impacts, focusing on communities whose livelihoods are closel

Det har också blivit barnens sjukdom.” Uttalandet är Francine Kaufmans, president för American Diabetes Association. I Sverige är än så länge typ 2 diabetes ovanligt bland barn men i många andra länder är det annorlunda. I exempelvis USA har fler än 2

Hur kan fåglar undvika att krocka när de flyger i täta lövverk och i andra trånga miljöer med många hinder? Och vad innebär det för fåglarna att flyga i sådana komplexa miljöer? De frågorna funderade Per Henningsson vid Lunds universitet på innan han gjorde slag i saken och tog hjälp av familjens egen tama undulat för att ta reda på svaren. Nu publiceras studien i Royal Society Open Science. Pande

Sambandet djupa blodsockerfall och försämrade kognitiva funktioner hos barn med typ 1-diabetes är i forskningen väl undersökt och beskrivet. Men hur det är med de äldre är mer okänt, bland de som har haft sjukdomen i många år och haft flera, kanske många, djupa blodsockerfall. Hur har deras kognition påverkats av sj

Varje dag dör fyra människor i Sverige i självmord. Bättre strategier för bedömning av suicidrisk, ökad kunskap inom primärvården och större fokus på dem som tidigare gjort självmordsförsök, kan sannolikt rädda fler liv. Det visar en ny avhandling om suicid och riskfaktorer, som nu läggs fram vid Lunds universitet. – Över 90 procent av de personer som dör i suicid i Sverige, har haft kontakt med h

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har tillsammans med kollegor vid synkotronanläggningen NIST i USA, på atomnivå kartlagt vad som sker i en viruspartikel när temperaturen höjs. – När temperaturen höjs, byter virusets genetiska material form samt densitet och blir mer vätskeliknande – vilket leder till att det snabbt injiceras i cellen, säger Alex Evilevitch, som lett studien som nu publiceras i PNAS.

Deeper relationships with colleagues we were already close with, while others drifted further away. During the pandemic, spontaneous meetings decreased, and we created social filter bubbles. This is shown by a study from Lund University in Sweden that investigated how we managed our work relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, many colleagues were reduced to tiny digital f

Economic conditions influence whether and when people choose to have children. A new report from the Swedish government inquiry A Future with Children, led by LUSEM economist Åsa Hansson, shows how financial risks – particularly for women – may be contributing to declining birth rates. Fewer children are being born in Sweden, and economic conditions may play a larger role than previously assumed.

Sometimes such bio-fertilisers works well, sometimes not. Now, researchers at Lund University, Sweden, are to study the exact requirements for improving the growth of sugar beet. If they succeed, biological fertilisers of cr
