How does migration and globalisation shape the lives of individuals in various countries and how does it affect the children of immigrants in terms of integration, identity, and cultural expressions? Do they themselves use the word integration? These questions occupy sociologist Dalia Abdelhady who is about to conclude a study of three populations in the US, in France and in Germany, based on thei

In France, there has long been a heated debate over gender-inclusive language, with critics warning that it makes texts difficult to read. However, a new thesis shows that the forms work as intended. They make women more visible in the reader’s mind, without significantly compromising readability. In French, all nouns have a grammatical gender and are either masculine or feminine. On top of that,

A heated discussion under the hashtag Swedengate erupted on social media last spring. Swedes were accused of being strange as they did not invite their children’s friends to eat with them when the family was having dinner. The phenomenon was upsetting and ethnologist Håkan Jönsson was quickly inundated with questions. Are Swedes stingy? Swedengate came about when someone on the news and discussion

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results was presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster by

A surprising behaviour of atoms is giving scientists new insights into one of the most fundamental phenomena in nature: the absorption of light. A new physical phenomenon for light pulses has been discovered. The study, published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters, was conducted by physicists at Lund University. In the world of atoms, the laws of nature as we know them do not apply

Homosexual acts are prohibited by law and have previously been suggested to warrant the death penalty. However, a study from Lund University in Sweden shows that homosexuality among young people is as common in Uganda as in other countries. The

New research results and methods by Abdulhakim Abdi, a researcher at the Department for Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), are increasing knowledge about tree species in Sweden’s forests. Forests play a crucial role in Sweden’s economy, biodiversity, and climate system, and carry tremendous cultural values, so knowing which tree species grow where is important for managing them sustainably.

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
