Ett 30-tal besökare från hela landet och Riksförbundet Pensionärsgemenskap, RPG, spenderar hela onsdagen med CASE:s forskare i Lund. De möts och samtalar om frågor som är högaktuella i förbundets påverkansarbete – ensamhet och välfärdsteknik. – Jag är jätteintresserad av detta och jag tror det kan hjälpa många om vi får mer kunskap att föra ut i vårt närområde, säger Angela Eckerby, som rest till

CASE:s koordinator, Steven Schmidt, är i gång på allvar med nya forskningsprojektet EPIC-LIFE, som ska utforska strategier för ett effektivt nyttjande av befintliga bostäder. Det handlar om samverkan med civilsamhället på riktigt – boende och andra intressenter bjuds in till spel. Forskarna vill identifiera ekonomiska och sociodemografiska faktorer relaterade till trångboddhet och benägenheten att

Ny teknik kan underlätta äldre personers aktivitet, men då måste de involveras i teknikutvecklingen. Det framgår i en ny avhandling av William Son Galanza, CASE-doktorand i forskargruppen Tillämpad gerontologi, som har tagit fram en AI-modell som kan kategorisera äldres vardagsaktiviteter.

Spinach is a nutritious vegetable, but is not recommended for infants because of its nitrate content. Now a doctoral thesis from Lund University in Sweden presents a simple method capable of reducing the nitrate content by up to 70 per cent. Nitrate is a common nutrient for plants and is therefore also present in other leafy green vegetables, such as arugula and chard. In our bodies, nitrate can b

How can a bee fly straight home in the middle of the night after a complicated route through thick vegetation in search of food? For the first time, researchers have been able to show what happens in the brain of the bee. Bees and many other animals use what is known as optical flow to determine how fast they are going and how far they have moved through their environment. When ignoring all other

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered well-preserved pigments and other biomolecules in a 54 million-year-old baby sea turtle. The molecular analyses show that the turtle’s shell contained pigments to protect it from harmful UV rays of the sun. The researchers investigated the microscopic and molecular contents of soft tissues retrieved from a fossil that is approximately 54 mil

In recent years, electric roads have emerged as potential alternatives to the heavy and expensive batteries currently needed in electric road vehicles. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an even smarter technology – that doesn’t require digging up stretches of road to install the system. Instead, a small conductive rail is laid on top of segments of the road. ”The vehicle

Food researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that consuming small amounts of chromium mixed with certain amino acids before eating is healthy. Why? Well, this mixture diluted in water suppresses the blood sugar spike that occurs when we eat. Now, they are hoping that the drink – which tastes like ordinary mineral water – will be able to compete with soft drinks and flavoured water

A new online portal opening today at Lund University in Sweden makes a unique archive containing first-hand accounts from Nazi concentration camp survivors freely accessible to the general public. During World War II, Ravensbrück, north of Berlin in Germany, was a concentration camp mainly reserved for women and children. During the war years, just over 130 000 prisoners were sent to Ravensbrück.

The iron concentration in lakes is increasing in many parts of northern Europe, including Sweden. This has been shown in a study in which researchers at Lund University in Sweden examined 23 years of data from 10 countries. High iron levels contribute to browner water; furthermore, iron binds environmental toxins such as lead and arsenic. The research study shows significant differences between No

A risk assessment system developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows which patients, with a certain type of streptococcal bacteria in the blood, need to be examined for a heart valve infection – a serious condition requiring prolonged medical treatment. “Our assessment system can help reduce unnecessary examinations of low-risk patients”, says Torgny Sunnerhagen, one of the researc

The University’s new jubilee sculpture, created by Charlotte Gyllenhammar, was unveiled on Saturday 21 October, as part of LU’s 350th anniversary celebrations. The sculpture, Meteorite, is made of black-patinated bronze and is located to the right of Palaestra, as seen from the Lund University main building. Around 100 people gathered to see the unveiling. Among them were vice-chancellor, Torbjörn

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have for the first time convincingly shown where in the brain the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s occur. The discovery could potentially become significant to future Alzheimer’s research while contributing to improved diagnostics. In Alzheimer’s, the initial changes in the brain occur through retention of the protein, β-amyloid (beta-amyloid). The process beg

Researchers already know that gelatin-covered electrode implants cause less damage to brain tissue than electrodes with no gelatin coating. Researchers at the Neuronano Research Centre (NRC) at Lund University in Sweden have now shown that microglia, the brain’s cleansing cells, and the enzymes that the cells use in the cleaning process, change in the presence of gelatin. “Knowledge about the bene

Postnatal depression among new mothers is a well-known phenomenon. Knowledge about depression in new fathers, however, is more limited. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that depression among new fathers may be more common than previously believed. There is also a major risk that it remains undetected using today’s screening instruments, and that fathers do not receive the help they

Can insulin taken as an infant in small doses together with food render the immune system used to insulin and thus prevent type 1 diabetes? Can a gluten-free diet and probiotics prevent celiac disease (so called gluten intolerance)? These questions will be asked by two separate studies that are being planned at Lund University in Sweden. A new comprehensive screening of newborn babies in southern

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared how much energy bats use when flying, depending on whether they have large or small ears. Large ears increase air resistance, meaning that long-eared bats are forced to expend more energy than species with small ears. On the plus side, large ears generate more lift and provide better hearing.Good hearing is a prerequisite for bats’ ability to
