The single market of the EU is often hailed as the number one success story of European integration, and it is one of the reasons why the EU is seen as a law-making machine. Single market laws are partly focused on competition law, which sets out to ban state aid and other interventionist practices in order to create a level playing field among the EU’s businesses. But when these businesses enter

The ground floor of the University Library will be refurbished and preparations will start in the summer.

Investigating air pollution is not for researchers afraid of heights. One of the fearless is Erik Ahlberg, a combustion physicist at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). His working days are often spent far above ground – currently on the roof of Malmö Town Hall, where the instruments that capture air particles are located. There are many stairs in the town hall. The last staircase to the top of the

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plant-eating insects affect forest ecosystems considerably more than previously thought. Among other things, the insects are a factor in the leaching of nutrients from soil and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. The researchers also establish that the temperatu

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

There is an increasing awareness that pollinating insects need flowers rich in pollen and nectar. A new study shows that trees can be just as important for survival – at least for the red mason bee, and probably for other wild bees too. Researchers have investigated the types of habitats and flowers in the agricultural landscape that benefit the reproduction of the red mason bee – a common solitar

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Migration is a talking point everywhere – in politics, in the media, and not least in academia. It is often presented as problematic and demanding on resources, seldom as something which contributes to economic, cultural, and indeed intellectual development. But without migrants where would academia be exactly? That’s

Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s
