This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The research quality evaluation, RQ20, is now in full swing. The evaluation-fatigue that project leaders Freddy Ståhlberg and Mats Benner expected to see among their university colleagues has not materialised. “We have encountered a strong engagement and interest!” The 200 or so external advisors for the 32 panels are

Missiologist Mika Vähäkangas thinks that Scandinavians can be a little self-righteous. He says that he has become who he is in great part thanks to his research in Africa – there he learnt what he knows about compassion. Over nearly thirty years, he first carried out missionary work and then research, teaching and fieldwork in Africa on African Christianity. "It has always been Africa. My pare

En uppföljningsstudie av unga svenska män som dömts till fängelse för vålds- eller sexbrott, målar en tydlig bild: de flesta återfaller i brott gång på gång – i snitt över 30 brott innan de hunnit fylla 30. Nu publiceras forskningsresultat som även visar att en historia av allvarlig psykisk sjukdom ökar risken för att återfalla i kriminalitet. – Det här är personer som behöver få både tidigare och

Nu har forskarna fått svaret på frågan om oralt insulin kan förhindra tidiga tecken på typ 1-diabetes eller klinisk diagnos hos små barn med förhöjd risk att utveckla sjukdomen. Även om behandlingen inte kunde förhindra utvecklingen av diabetesrelaterade autoantikroppar fördröjde oralt insulin sjukdomshastigheten hos barn som utvecklade sådana autoantikroppar. Omkring 170 svenska barn har deltagit

Bete är en nyckelåtgärd för att bevara naturbetesmarker, några av Sveriges viktigaste livsmiljöer ur natur- och kulturvårdssynpunkt. Det är dock en utmaning att hitta rätt nivå på betet vilket leder till att många värdefulla marker betas för hårt, medan andra marker växer igen. För att diskutera utmaningar med ett högt betestryck, och öppna dörren till möjliga lösningar, bjöd LU Land in till ett f

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t
