The war in Gaza has caused conflict at universities in Sweden and abroad. Overcoming the differences between protestors and university managements and within groups of employees is likely to take time. We met with both Lund University’s Vice-Chancellor and protestors from the encampment in Lundagård. In this edition of LUM, they share their visions of how to move forward. We have also interviewed

Dagligt intag av en mjölksyrabakterie, som fått namnet Lactobacillus plantarum HEAL19, ser ut att kunna förebygga fetma och minska kroppens så kallade låggradiga inflammation. Åtminstone när det gäller råttor. Caroline Karlsson, doktorand i Livsmedelshygien vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola, har kunnat konstatera att råttor som fick denna mjölksyrabakterie, eller laktobacill, från fostertiden till vuxen

Vid Pufendorfinstitutet pågår just nu temat Postantibiotiska framtider, som samlar forskare från flera discipliner och fakulteter för att undersöka hur en värld där antibiotika inte längre fungerar kan vara levbar. I samband med coronavirusets framfart har vi fått se hela städer och länder stängas ner, människor placerats i karantän, och infrastruktur och handel har upphört att fungera i drabbade

Cancerpatienter som tog emot ett negativt sjukdomsbesked upplevde läkarna som mindre empatiska än patienter som fick ett mer positivt besked. Lundaforskarna bakom studien tror dels att det handlar om rollen som budbärare av ett så negativt besked. Men också om att läkare i en slimmad vårdorganisation tenderar att tappa bort mottagandet av patientens känslor. I studien ingick 186 cancerpatienter vi

En ny studie har i detalj analyserat hur EU-stödet till lantbrukare fördelas. Resultaten visar att utbetalningarna oftast går till redan rika lantbrukare som dessutom genererar både störst växthusgasutsläpp och skada för den biologiska mångfalden. Pengarna går alltså i huvudsak till dem som orsakar den största miljöskadan och behöver bidragen minst. EU:s gemensamma jordbruks- och landsbygdspolitik

– We have a moral responsibility to document loss of cultural heritage, indigenous and local knowledge, declining ecosystems and eroding sense of place, says LUCSUS post-doctoral fellow Guy Jackson. He has co-authored a literature review on non-economic loss and damage which highlights the need for more research on intangible cultural heritage, and how it connects to our physical surroundings, as

A recent report by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) identifies 24 places across the world that are hotspots for deforestation - and where forests are under threat. A staggering over 43 million of hectares were lost in these areas between 2004 and 2017 - an area roughly the size of Morocco. Torsten Krause, who researches forest hunting, biodiversity and deforestation, comments on the report. What a

Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use pollen from the ice age to the present to inform vegetation models and find crucial an
