Missiologist Mika Vähäkangas thinks that Scandinavians can be a little self-righteous. He says that he has become who he is in great part thanks to his research in Africa – there he learnt what he knows about compassion.  Over nearly thirty years, he first carried out missionary work and then research, teaching and fieldwork in Africa on African Christianity.    "It has always been Africa.

For the first time, scientists have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University. This could provide a better understanding of fundamental research in the second generation of quantum revolution. When high-energy light with a very short wa

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

Finding housing is a major challenge for students in university towns like Lund, where demand far exceeds supply. Long queue systems, high rents, and limited options force many to commute or move frequently — disrupting their studies and daily life. Negar Khaliliaraghi, shows in her research, a clear causal link between student housing and academic performance. Finding accommodation is often one o

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models
