Allt fler svenska tatuerar sig och Sveriges befolkning är nu en av de mest tatuerade i Europa. Samtidigt ökar förekomsten av melanom. En ny epidemiologisk studie från Lunds universitet, tyder på att tatueringar kan vara en riskfaktor för melanom. Forskningsläget kring tatueringar och cancerMot bakgrund av det dåliga kunskapsläget kring långsiktiga hälsoeffekter av tatueringar, tillsammans med att

20 years of measurements are only the beginning. Long-term measurements over several decades are crucial to enable predictions of how airborne particles affect the future climate, according to Lund University researcher Erik Ahlberg. “Long-term measurements are important to prove that various climate initiatives actually work. Say we were to close all coal power plants today – with our time-series

Detta eftersom att banksektorn i dagsläget inte är hotad. Däremot har Sverige för närvarande en finanskrispolitik, just för att undvika att hamna i en kris. – Jag och mina kollegor har under många års tid argumenterat för att vi behöver en bere

Why do humans and other mammals have two kidneys, but only one heart and one brain? “Because the kidneys are so important, of course!” says Diana Karpman – partly joking and partly serious.

The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system. While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i

A heated discussion under the hashtag Swedengate erupted on social media last spring. Swedes were accused of being strange as they did not invite their children’s friends to eat with them when the family was having dinner. The phenomenon was upsetting and ethnologist Håkan Jönsson was quickly inundated with questions. Are Swedes stingy? Swedengate came about when someone on the news and discussion

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

We expect a change in labour legislation that comes into force on 1 October this year. What is happening in the autumn is that general fixed-term employment, which is all fixed-term employment including hourly, but not temporary employment, disappears as a form of employment and is replaced by special fixed-term employment (Särskild visstidsanställning – SÄVA).
