Det som förvånar mest när det gäller demonstrationerna i Iran är hur unga de protesterande flickorna är. Det säger Rola El-Husseini, forskare inom om politisk sociologi och expert på kvinnorörelser i Mellanöstern. På måndag deltar hon i ett panelsamtal om Iran, arrangerat av Centrum för Mellanösternstudier vid Lunds universitet. – Iran skakas av stora protester ungefär vart tionde år. Men på senar

Sällan förr har det varit så stort fokus på parlamentets arbete som efter det senaste valet. När tidigare har det exempelvis skrivits så mycket om vem som blir ordförande för de olika utskotten? Men det är bra att Riksdagen uppmärksammas eftersom det är där makten ligger, säger statsvetaren Simon Davidsson som har lagt fram en avhandling om parlamentarism. Simon Davidsson har undersökt parlamentar

Hösten 2017 briserade #metoorörelsen över världen. Just nu studerar forskare vilken effekt rörelsen har haft i Sverige. En slutsats är att sexuellt våld mot kvinnor erkänns som ett strukturellt problem och att det finns en känsla av ökad rättvisa efter #metoo. Samtidigt är det oklart om det faktiskt sker färre sexuella trakasserier idag. New York Times publicerar den 5 oktober 2017 en artikel med

Tvärtom vad många tror har kvinnor haft en framstående roll i IS rekrytering – särskilt när det gäller att få med andra kvinnor. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att det var delaktigheten i en religiös kultur, som motsätter sig jämställdhet, moderna könsroller och könsnormer, som lockade svenskor att ansluta sig till Islamiska Staten. På internet propagerar de svenska IS-kvinnorna för sha

– De bygger på bristfälliga kunskaper om hur migrationsregler fungerar i praktiken och vad de får för konsekvenser I helgen intervjuade flera svenska medier Rättssociologiska institutionens professor Anna Lundberg om innehållet i Moderaterna, Kristdemokraterna, Liberalerna och Sverigedemokraterna plan för regeringsbildningen. Sammanställningen av partiernas överenskommelser kallas Tidöavtalet och

Inför riksdagsvalet 2022 flyttade en del av den politiska diskussionen till TikTok. Att vi diskuterar svensk politik på en Kinaägd plattform där snabba klipp som tangerar primära känslor premieras av algoritmerna har förfärat många. Men formen är varken farlig eller särskilt ny - utan användes redan i antikens Grekland. Det säger kommunikationsforskaren Nils Gustafsson. Medieakademins årliga kartl

När världens länder den 6-18 november samlas för ett klimattoppmöte i Egypten har frågan om kompensation för klimatrelaterade förluster och skador seglat upp som en av mötets allra viktigaste. Fattigare länder och civilsamhället vill att frågan ska inkluderas på den formella agendan och kräver svar: vem ska betala? Forskare vid Lunds universitet anordnar ett eget event om klimatskador under toppmö

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

When humans are ill, we tend to be less active. This also applies to wild animals, but so far, it has not been known how long the reduced activity lasts or which activities are affected the most. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds' activity decreases for up to three weeks when they become ill - something that could mean the difference between life and death. The researche

Changes in oxygenation and climate had a fundamental impact on marine environments and ecosystems during one of the most transformative times of the development of life on Earth. This according to a new study in which researchers have analysed iodine and calcium in limestone samples from Sweden, Estonia and Russia. There has long been speculation about major links between biodiversity and access t

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden are investigating a car fuel comprised of a liquid that is converted to hydrogen by a solid catalyst. The used liquid is then emptied from the tank and charged with hydrogen, after which it can be used again in a circular system that is free from greenhouse gas emissions. In two research articles, Lund researchers have demonstrated that the method works, an

Using global satellite data, a research team has mapped the tree cover of the world’s protected areas. The study shows that regions with abundant large herbivores in many settings have a more variable tree cover, which is expected to benefit biodiversity overall. Maintaining species-rich and resilient ecosystems is key to preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change. Here, megafauna – the

For over 20 years, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied the common bluetail damselfly. Females occur in three different colour forms – one with a male-like appearance, something that protects them from mating harassment. In a new study, an international research team found that this genetic colour variation that is shared between several species arose through changes in a speci

A new study from Lund University confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across 8 European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done. Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects no

Through analysis of high-resolution data from a ten-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in generating new knowledge about three stars at the very heart of the Milky Way. The stars proved to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprised the researchers. The study, which has been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, e
