What happened to the generation that experienced the Jasmine revolution in Tunisia as young? How are their views different from those who were only small children and do not remember the expectations of more freedom and bread? Studies in focus groups representing both Generation Z and Millennials in the region give unexpected answers but still hold some optimism for further democratisation. Sarah

I’ve been to a fair few geography conferences but, funny enough, have never really come across very many maps. Or, rather, have given them very little thought.

Protein researcher Mikael Akke has been showered with grants recently: a total in excess of SEK 130 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the European Research Council. But who is the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) professor whose research is so hot right now? Since childhood, Mikael Akke has been driven by a desire to understand how things work in nature.

För att skapa en funktionell stadsmiljö för människa, miljö och biologisk mångfald behöver städer göra noggranna övervägningar. Att förtäta städer kan vara positivt för exempelvis minskad biltrafik och bättre service till fler människor. Samtidigt kan det ske på bekostnad av grönytor och människors hälsa. Johanna Alkan Olsson är lektor vid CEC och har under lång tid forskat på dessa dilemman. Idag

Metformin beskrivs ofta som en trotjänare för behandling av typ 2-diabetes, men alla blir inte hjälpta av läkemedlet. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en kombination av biomarkörer som kan förutsäga vilka personer som får nytta av behandlingen. Nu fortsätter arbetet med att bekräfta resultaten i en större patientgrupp, med målet att utveckla ett test som kan användas av sjukvården. Läke

Efter mer än ett decennium av stiltje har njurforskningen fått ett lyft. Nya läkemedel och biomarkörer gör det möjligt att upptäcka och bromsa sjukdomsförlopp tidigare – något som länge verkade ouppnåeligt. Och det här kommer att påverka personer med diabetes, där njurskada är en allvarlig långtidskomplikation. – Vi står inför en ny era. Det som sker nu liknar det som skedde inom hjärt- kärlsjukvå
