Runt 160 personer gästade CASE-dagen den 16 april, som i år arrangerades på Campus Helsingborg. Tema för dagen var goda levnadsvillkor för den åldrande befolkningen. Vad hoppas ni få ut av dagen?– Mer kunskap, då kan vi i PRO driva på. Vi är ju många äldre och vi ska tuffa till oss. Sådan här forskning kan lätt glömmas bort, men är viktig. Våra medlemmar pratar mycket om vården och om äldremottagn

Nu börjar kanadensiska forskningsprojektet ta form, där CASE-forskarna Oskar Jonsson och Björn Slaug ska utforska hem- och närmiljöer som inte inkluderar personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Hem- och närmiljöer som tillgodoser behov hos personer med olika funktionella begränsningar, gör det möjligt för fler att leva ett mer självständigt liv en längre tid med mindre hjälp från andra. – För persone

Vilken betydelse har en flytt och val av boende för ett aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande? Det svarade forskarna i forskningsprogrammet RELOC-AGE på i ett webbinarium på onsdagen. Inbjudna var samarbetspartner och drygt 1 500 deltagare som svarat på frågor i enkätstudier och en interventionstudie, för att ge dem återkoppling om forskningsresultaten.– Ni har visat imponerande engagemang, det var 77 pro

CASE-anslutna doktoranden Carina Tordai har en fot kvar i verkligheten på jobbet som arbetsterapeut inom psykiatrin. I dagarna publicerades resultaten från hennes studie, med både väntade och förvånande resultat. – Mycket var väntat, jag arbetar deltid inom specialiserade psykiatrin i Region Skåne så jag visste redan att det är svårt att hjälpa äldre personer med allvarliga psykiska problem ute i

På torsdagen samlades forskare och parter i ett av Lunds universitets 13 tematiska samverkansinitiativ, Sociala rättigheter och boende för den åldrande befolkningen, för att dra lärdomar och staka ut framtiden. CASE:s forskare från de fyra medverkande fakulteterna presenterade bland annat nylanserade Intressentpoolen, där vem som helst kan anmäla sitt intresse för att ta del av och bidra till fors

One of the world's greatest challenges is to feed the world's population in a sustainable way. Organic farming is one option, but the downside is that it produces lower yields than conventional farming. Studies led by Lund University now show that the yield difference between organic and conventional farming is smaller than previously thought, but the yields are still significantly smaller than fo

A new article in Ecology Letters has shown for the first time that grassland plants dependent on insect pollination are particularly susceptible to increasing land-use intensity in the landscape. Authors are BECC researchers Yann Clough, Johan Ekroos, BECC coordinator Henrik Smith et al. The researchers investigated the effects of land-use intensity in the surrounding landscape on the distribution

The income and education levels of a child’s environment determine their relationship to nature, not whether they live in a city or the countryside. This is the finding of a new study conducted by researchers and BECC-members at Lund University, Sweden. The results run counter to the assumption that growing up in the countryside automatically increases our connection to nature, and yet the study a

CEC director Henrik Smith, is one of the researchers behind a debate article in Dagens Nyheter on September 8. The researchers are arguing that there is a unique possibility to use the areas that was damaged in the fire to create a new protected forest area. "The forest fire in Västmanland had disastrous consequences in human terms. But the fire opens at the same time up the possibility to create

Øystein Opedal was one of 494 European researchers to receive an ERC Starting Grant for his project “POLLCLIM: Plant adaptation in a changing pollination climate“. As Øystein is a member of BECC, we were curious to know a little bit more about his grant. The ERC Starting Grant is intended for early-career researchers and the only selection criterion is scientific excellence. After undergoing peer

Hydrogen is expected to play an important role in the transition to a climate-neutral society. Although hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas with a direct climate impact, there are large knowledge gaps about its indirect impacts on the climate and environment. The Horizon Europe-funded research project HYway aims to fill these gaps. We spoke to David Wårlind from Lund University who is leading one of

Long-term effective methods are needed to curb the negative effects of coastal erosion. Within the LIFE Coast Adapt project, researchers from Lund University, together with officials from Region Skåne and several coastal municipalities in Skåne, have tested various nature-based methods to contribute to a practice in the field. The project has now come to an end with promising results. In the LIFE

To create a functional urban environment for people, the environment and biodiversity, cities need to make careful considerations. Urban densification can be positive, for example in terms of reducing car traffic and providing better services to more people. At the same time, it can be at the expense of green spaces and human health. Johanna Alkan Olsson is a senior lecturer at CEC and has been re

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i

Exhaust fumes and burning reduce the ability of rainforests to capture carbon by 0.29 billion tonnes each year. A new study by researchers from the University of Gothenburg, with professor Johan Uddling as a member of BECC, shows how ozone at the ground-level formed by human combustion harms plant photosynthesis. Rainforests are the most effective counterforce to the greenhouse effect. Tropical fo
