What kind of an image of yourself do you present on social media? And why? Carys Egan-Wyer, researcher in Consumer Culture, believes that in some ways leisure time has become a type of work. Showing off the perfect meals, gardens and jogging sessions also says something about us and our time. You probably know what it's like.

Things get a little trickier when the owlet is to be measured, weighed and swabbed for bacterial samples from both front and behind.

Luftföroreningar är en av de främsta orsakerna till sjuklighet och för tidig död över hela världen. I en forskningsstudie från Lunds universitet på uppdrag av miljöförvaltningen i Malmö, gjordes en hälsokonsekvensanalys för att uppskatta hälsoeffekterna av en hypotetisk miljözon i Malmö. Miljözoner, eller lågutsläppszoner, är områden där de mest förorenande fordonen regleras. Vanligtvis innebär de
