Det finns ingen enskild superlösning för plasten, problemet är alltför komplext. Det budskapet levereras i en ny rapport från Europeiska miljöbyrån som dock sammanfattar de insatser som krävs till tre övergripande områden: smart användning, förnybart och cirkulära system. – Den ökande användningen av engångsplast under coronapandemin har gjort det ännu tydligare att vi måste ta ett helhetsgrepp om

All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the

Sexual harassment, mental health issues, racism and non-European doctoral students engaged in uphill struggles with the Swedish Migration Agency to be allowed to remain in Sweden. These are examples of the sorts of things that Haro de Grauw has been faced with since becoming doctoral student ombudsman in Lund almost two years ago. Most often, however, it is another factor that makes doctoral stude

What makes for a successful transition to a low-carbon energy system? Local involvement, perceived fairness and information sharing, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers studied two cases, one in Samsø (Denmark) and one in Feldheim (Germany) of successful implementation of low-carbon energy systems. Samsø is the world’s first 100% renewable energy-powered islan

A person who carries the mutant gene will at some point in his or her life develop the deadly Huntington's disease. This brain disease can be inherited from generation to generation and begins insidiously, making it increasingly difficult to regulate emotions, thoughts, then movements. There is no treatment that slows down the disease. But Huntington researcher and psychiatrist Åsa Petersén works

Två universitet inom två mils avstånd blir verklighet efter årsskiftet då Malmö högskola blir universitet. Vilka konsekvenser det får för Lund är inte givet. Ett komplement eller en konkurrent? I Lund är stämningen försiktigt positiv. Av tradition har relationen mellan det akademiska högsätet Lund och det saltstänkta folkliga Malmö varit sval. Även på den tiden då nästan all högskole- och universi

Levande skogar med olika växter och djur, skogar i vilka man kan vandra, jaga eller plocka bär och svamp – kommer de att finnas kvar när trycket på skogsproduktionen ökar? Går det att öka produktionen på ett hållbart sätt, utan att möjligheterna att nå miljö- och hållbarhetsmålen minskar? Stora förhoppningar ställs idag på att skogen ska ge oss de råvaror som behövs för att vi ska ställa om till e

Ungefär en tredjedel av Sveriges yrkesverksamma befolkning har ett arbete som är röstintensivt. Lärare tillhör dem som är beroende av att rösten fungerar. De är också överrepresenterade i den grupp som har röstproblem. Men det finns stora möjligheter att ta hand om och träna upp sin röst så att den håller hela livet.

A meeting at the kitchen table, with lots of coffee and snus. And a donation of SEK 250 million. That’s what happened when Ingvar Kamprad met LTH’s dean in 1998 to talk about the future of industrial design education at the University. The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces. Now she strikes a blow for gardens in the urban planning. Green spaces, such as parks and allotment gardens, have a major impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing –

Being able to take care of one’s hygiene, cook food and cope independently in the home are examples of feeling in control of one’s life.
