En ny studie med titeln ” Substantial light woodland and open vegetation characterized the temperate forest biome before Homo sapiens” har nyligen publicerats i Science Advances. I en studie som jag initierade uppe i Småland under ett av mina SGU-projekt, publicerad 2013, diskuterade vi vegetationssammansättningen under den förra mellanistiden (Eem, för 129 000–116 000 år sedan). En del av pollend
Sébastien Tutenges har undersökt synliga och dolda tekniker barer och nattklubbar använder för att sälja mer alkohol och noterar att de används mest där besökarna är unga. Utöver uppenbara metoder för att öka alkoholintaget – reklam, specialerbjudanden som Happy Hour och stora tillbringare eller shotglas som snabbar på konsumtion – kan bartendern ha dold påverkan genom strategisk intimitet, flörta

Nano and New Frontiers in Computing – technologies and insights in biology, materials, light and quantum. That was the inspiring and captivating theme of this year’s edition of the NanoLund Annual Meeting. With a head start from inside an insect’s brain, brought to us by Stanley Heinze, we were given talks about new computational methods such as machine learning and AI to benefit nanoscience resea

Det går att förutspå ett insjuknande i typ 1-diabetes, visar ny forskning. I ett blodprov kan man upptäcka om kroppens immunförsvar börjat bryta ned de egna insulincellerna genom att mäta förekomsten av autoantikroppar. - I TEDDY-studien har vi kommit fram till att de ofta redan dyker upp under de första levnadsåren, säger professor Åke Lernmark som leder den svenska delen av studien.TEDDY-studien

Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a so-called “island of stability” far beyond the element uranium. However, a new study, led by nuclear physicists at Lund University, shows that a 50-year-old nuclear physics manifesto must now be revised. The heaviest element found in nature is ura

A forest management method different to those practised today would contribute to greater welfare and wellbeing for society in general, compared with current methods that mainly benefit the forestry industry. This has been shown in a new study by two researchers from Lund University in Sweden. There is an intensive debate at the moment about the best way to use the forest as a resource, not least

I Simrishamns kommun har man påbörjat ett förändringsarbete för att göra den kommunala beredningsprocessen evidensbaserad för att politikerna ska kunna fatta så välgrundade beslut som möjligt, särskilt i politiskt känsliga ärenden. Hur detta arbete fortgår kommer att studeras i ett nytt KEFU-finansierat forskningsprojekt. – Så vitt vi vet är det första gången något liknande har gjorts i Sverige oc

Egentid, partid och mer fritid i vardagen. Många bär på en önskan om mer tid – men finns det ett hållbart förhållningssätt till tid? Under Hållbarhetsveckan i Lund möts historiken David Larsson Heidenblad och tidsikonen Bodil Jönsson i ett fördjupande samtal. I många svenska hem finns ett vältummat exemplar av Bodil Jönssons bok Tio tankar om tid, en bok som för 20 år sedan såldes i över 600 000 e
Vilket ansvar har akademiker i relation till kollegor i Ukraina och andra krigszoner – och vad kan universitetets medarbetare göra för att stötta den utbildning och forskning som behöver fortsätta alltmedan flyglarm ljuder och bomber faller? Lunds universitet kan ge flera svar på den frågan. Ett av dem är pilotprojektet som bedrivits vid Medicinska fakulteten och enklast kan beskrivas i siffror: T

The current recession is affecting everyone, and the University and central administration are no exceptions. We, like many other organisations, are affected by cutbacks and a tough economic climate. The entire university sector is being asked to make savings of 0.5%. This is coming as inflation is high and many things have become more expensive: rents, equipment, licences, etc. Like other LU orga
