Personer med diabetes drabbas oftare av komplikationer i sina händer än övrig befolkning. I sin avhandling som läggs fram vid Lunds universitet har Mattias Rydberg kartlagt diabeteshanden. – Det finns stor anledning både för dem som har diabetes och för vårdpersonal som möter dessa patienter att vara uppmärksamma på handfunktionen.

I en studie publicerad i Nature Energy visar forskare från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet att bristen på infrastruktur var en viktig faktor bakom att bilproducenter valde att tillverka bensinbilar istället för elbilar i det tidiga 1900-talets USA. Forskarna uppskattar att om elnätet hade etablerats och spridits 15 till 20 år tidigare så kunde det ha lett till att en majoritet av producente

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s
