This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, an increasing number of research articles have been published based on, and closely related to, digital psychiatry. The volume is now so great that it is time to gather these publications in a separate scientific journal fully dedicated to this area. So thought the journal’s editor-in-chief Jonas Eber

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a new study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers investigated the risk factors for blood clots, i.e. venous thromboembolism (VTE). The results show a strong correlation between height and VTE risk for both women and men. The risk increases with height. Tall people have a higher hydrostatic pressure in the bo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For the first time, researchers have proposed the hypothesis that animals that live in climate zones at a safe distance from both the poles as well as the tropics have the most to gain from acclimating to changes in climate. The findings contradict previous research in the field. Acclimation means the ability of both

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. What makes for a successful transition to a low-carbon energy system? Local involvement, perceived fairness and information sharing, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers studied two cases, one in Samsø (Denmark) and one in Feldheim (Germany) of successful implementation of low-carb

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have in collaboration with colleagues in Copenhagen and Singapore, mapped how the body’s own peptides act to reduce infection and inflammation by deactivating the toxic substances formed in the process. The study is published in Nature Communications and the researchers believ

Peptides from the common bacteria Staphylococcus aureus speed up the pathological aggregation of α-synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson’s disease. This was discovered by researchers at MultiPark and published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Staphylococcus aureus is carried by 30–70% of the general population as a commensal bacterium. It produces a special kind of peptides c

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

On-chip optical communication between tiny light-based components can make neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing much smaller and more energy-efficient. In this work, researchers demonstrate that individual nanowire devices on a silicon chip can transmit and receive light signals directly to each other. These miniature circuits communicate reliably, using significantly less power than convention

Contrary to popular belief, women played a prominent role in IS recruitment - especially in bringing in other women. A new study from Lund University shows that Swedish women joined the Islamic State as part of a religiously motivated gendered counterculture against Swedish values of gender equality, modern gender roles and gender norms. Online, Swedish IS women propagandise sharia law, gender seg

Why do some people believe that most others can be trusted, while others don’t? And how does trust change over time? In his recently defended doctoral thesis, Alexander Saaranen studies social trust, and his findings show that our teenage years may be more important than previously thought. On Thursday 12 June Alexander Saaranen successfully defended his thesis “Trust in time” and is now a doctor

“Lundensare” Nobel Prize winner Arvid Carlsson (1923-2018) did not receive the prestigious Nobel Prize while living or working in Lund – but he is an alumnus! Carlsson grew up in Lund (which could clearly be heard in his Lund accent) and in 1951 he became a doctor of medicine at Lund University. He was employed as an associate professor of pharmacology and in 1959 he left for Gothenburg, where he

Professor Emeritus Hermann Grimmeiss has passed away at the age of 95. He was the first Professor of Solid State Physics in Lund and a central figure in the development of the research environment that laid the foundations for today’s successful activities in semiconductor and nanoscience at Lund University. Hermann Grimmeiss came to Lund in 1966 from Philips in Aachen and Eindhoven, where he had

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Biologists at Lund University in Sweden are now able to show that the receptors enabling the primitive moth species, Eriocrania semipurpurella, find an individual of the opposite sex, probably evolved from receptors which help the moth perceive the fragrances of plants. “Love is in the air” is a known expression.

Scientists have long tried to understand the connection between osteoarthritis, our most common joint disease, and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and high blood pressure. Previously, it was believed that osteoarthritis simply increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to reduced physical activity due to joint pain and obesity. But new findings suggest that something much deepe

New research could enable better healthcare for patients with benign tumours of the adrenal glands. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified the levels of cortisol produced by the tumours which are associated with higher mortality rates. Up to half of benign adrenal tumours produce excessive amounts of the hormone cortisol. Until now, researchers did not know at which levels the co

A new study shows that an AI assistant can conduct assessment conversations with patients with higher accuracy than the rating scales used in healthcare today. In the study, 303 participants were interviewed by the AI assistant Alba, who then suggested possible psychiatric diagnoses. In addition to being interviewed by an AI assistant, the participants also had to fill out standardized rating scal
