Professors of literature Torbjörn Forslid and Anders Ohlsson helped bring the concept of shared reading to Sweden. They have now received funding from LU Innovation to develop and adapt it for use in upper-secondary schools. Shared reading is originally a British concept, which essentially involves a reading circle with reading aloud taking place in groups. When the group meets, the leader reads a

The rapidly rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect plants’ absorption of nitrogen, which is the nutrient that restricts crop growth in most terrestrial ecosystems. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have now revealed that the concentration of nitrogen in plants’ tissue is lower in air with high levels of carbon dioxide, regardless of whether or not the plants’ growth is

Despite efforts to overcome public transport barriers, major challenges remain. The rapid transition to a more transport-efficient society also includes digitization and new forms of mobility. This creates a growing concern about widening exclusion and digital divides and new research is needed. The new research project aims to provide a deeper understanding of potential obstacles and conditions i

Can dragonflies migrate thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean, from India via the Maldives to Africa, and back again? An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has used models and simulations to find out if the hypothesis could be true. In 2009, marine biologist Charles Anderson put forward a hypothesis after observing globe skimmer dragonflies (Pantala flavescens) on th
