In 2010, GAP introduced a new logo, sparking an online backlash and ultimately resulting in the reintroduction of the old logo. A new study from Lund University in Sweden argues that this was the first of many cases where brand creation has had to adjust to a complex, interactive, and sometimes unpredictable online en

A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to evaluate how these new forms of treatment were experienced by the patients themselve

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied how patients with advanced cancer seek care during the final stages of their lives. By studying their care patterns, the research team has developed a measurement method that relates healthcare needs to the changing value of time for patients at the end of life. The less time they have left to live, the more precious time feels. Every year,

Variations and changes in the genetic code in our cells are of great significance for many of the most widespread diseases. In recent years, researchers have made important progress in finding new ways to correct the genes that are causing problems. They have developed a technique that enables changes to the genetic sequence in living cells.  “It is possible to cut out the bad genes and paste in n

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Osteoarthritis treatment conducted digitally via an app costs around 25% of what conventional care costs, according to a study from Lund University in Sweden published in the research journal PLOS ONE.

We need new ways of understanding how people depend on nature in our efforts to protect biodiversity. A new thesis from Lund University in Sweden suggests that we rarely take into account people’s place-based, varied and often emotional relationships with nature. “Up to now, a common approach has been based on cost-benefit analysis, where, for example, a company can compensate for a factory built

Research and society in close cooperation: that is the basis for Farm2Forest, a project aiming to produce evidence guiding Swedish and European agricultural and forestry policymaking. The idea is to combine economic and ecological data and models to evaluate different future scenarios for marginal agriculture in forest-dominated landscapes which, in terms of surface area, accounts for a significan

How are we going to reach climate targets? That is an ever-present question for many of us. A major new EU project, CLIMB-FOREST, will create an overview of European forests and forestry over a period of four-and-a-half years. The aim is to be able to guide the forestry industry and decision-makers through these complex issues using tools and models. There is a lot of expertise in each individual

During the pandemic, the free COVID Symptom Study app has helped researchers understand the complexity and spread of the corona virus better. “The study has exceeded our expectations since its launch in Sweden in April 2020. Participants from all over Sweden got involved and many of them have spent one minute every day answering questions about their health”, says Maria Gomez, Professor of physiol

How did we end up here? What do we do to get out of it? In climate research, it is important to understand how the world works if we are to change our behaviour and prevent future catastrophes. Researchers use mathematical formulas to try and visualise reality, in order to find out what changes we need to make. “We build models in an attempt to represent nature’s behaviour using mathematical equat

Small sensors do a big job. Increasing numbers of things can now be controlled and measured, detected and regulated via small sensors on machines, in nature or in and on our bodies. These sensors gather and transmit large amounts of information via wireless communication, while requiring very little electrical power. To reduce electricity consumption, researchers must work with each tiny electroni

Dense urban areas amplify the effects of higher temperatures, due to the phenomenon of heat islands in cities. This makes cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Large investments in the electricity network will be necessary to cool us down during heatwaves and keep us warm during cold snaps, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. “Unless we account for extreme climat

Virtual reality might be the closest we can get to a time machine. For instance, it can be used to experience historical communities – such as the Iron Age city of Uppåkra in southern Sweden, according to LU researcher Mattias Wallergård. Mattias Wallergård has done research on virtual reality and its applications for the past 20 years. He works at the Virtual Reality Lab at Lund University, and b
