The ostrich is genetically wired to adapt to rising or falling temperatures. However, when the temperature fluctuates more often, as it does with climate change, the flightless bird with a 40-gram brain finds it much more difficult. A research team at Lund University has shown that the ostrich is very sensitive to fluctuating temperatures in terms of whether it reproduces. If the temperature rises

In 2020, the UN General Assembly received a report on academic freedom from the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. Based on the report, a working group has consulted widely and drafted 9 ’Principles for Implementing the Right of Academic Freedom’. These principles are now released to guide the protection of academic freedom. Dis

The aim of annual leave is to give employees leisure time for rest and recreation; the main principle is therefore that annual leave is to be taken as holiday time. Already early on in the year, annual leave needs to be planned on the basis of the manager’s responsibility for ensuring the function of the organisational unit, and the wishes of the employees. Pursuant to the Annual Leave Act, an emp

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres
