Pollinators such as bees, bumblebees, and butterflies lack sufficient habitats, and the ones that do exist are often of inadequate quality. A new study conducted by researchers from more than 20 academic institutions – including CEC and the Department of Biology at Lund University – shows that these insects can benefit from increasing the area of their habitats significantly more than what is curr

Continuous-cover forestry methods are gaining attention as a way to enable forests to deliver a broader range of benefits. The aim is to make forestry more sustainable, but significant challenges remain. These will now be addressed in a new project where five organizations are testing continuous-cover forestry in practice. In Bockeboda, just outside Kristianstad, the future of continuous-cover for

Nature is a source of well-being and recovery for many people. However, research shows that there is also a growing number of individuals who experience negative emotions, such as fear, discomfort, or even disgust, toward nature. The phenomenon, called biophobia, is now highlighted in a new study from Lund University. “Research has long assumed that people fundamentally feel positive emotions towa

The questionnaire measures and detects differences in patient well-being, abilities and judgements of diabetes care, and identifies areas for improvement. To further improve diabetes care, we conclude that patient-reported measures are important supplements to cardiovascular and diabetes complication risk factors, reflecting patient experiences of living with diabetes and diabetes care.

There has been marked growth in reports addressing exposure-affected time-varying confounding. This was driven by work in a small number of topic areas, with other areas showing relatively little uptake. In addition, despite developments in more advanced methods such doubly robust techniques and estimation via machine learning, implementation has been largely concentrated on the simpler, yet poten

Over the last decades the advent of digital documentation has provided research communities with valuable resources of information for clinical research. To utilize the potential of information about patients, their health care, and its outcome that is already available in different registers, the possibility to cross-reference information from different registers is inevitably required.
