Både svensk och internationell lag står bakom kvinnors rätt att amma på offentlig plats. Ändå beskriver kvinnor hur de får ta emot påhopp och dömande blickar när de ammar utanför hemmet. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att samhället måste ge tydligare och uttalat stöd för offentlig amning - och välkomna amning oavsett plats. – Kvinnorna och barnen saknar tillgång till det offentliga rumm

Ett nytt antikroppstest vid covid-19 som utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds universitet har visat hög prestanda i kliniska tester och tillämpning. Antikropparna som mäts är kopplade till det så kallade spikeproteinet (S-protein) hos SARS-CoV-2-viruset som orsakar covid-19. Testet visar på 15 minuter om en person haft sjukdomen, oavsett om man haft symptom eller inte. Till skillnad från andra serol

In his doctoral thesis in sociology "Structures of subcontracting: Work organisation, control, and labour in the Swedish building sector", Rasmus Ahlstrand analyses the increased use of subcontractors and explores new forms of work organisation in the Swedish building sector. A key contribution of his study is the concept of masked staffing, which refers to unauthorised ways of organising labour t

With the Research Data Office, the University is working to improve support for researchers in the management of research data. Each faculty now has a data steward to assist researchers in their work with research data. The new Research Data Office will better support researchers in managing their research data according to legal requirements and security standards. This is achieved through techni

In a collaboration with the Swedish local brewery, Brygghuset Finn, LUCSUS researchers are working toward finding ways of improving sustainability of the craft beer industry. The project is part of an international research project, which focuses on identifying and testing local solutions to challenges within the food-water-energy nexus. We have been collaborating with a local brewer in Landskrona

Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University in Sweden found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments. Previous research has investigated the presence of heavy metals in hedgehogs from other urban areas in Europe and

Three researchers from Lund University in Sweden have been awarded grants by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation totalling SEK 87 million for research on the semiconductors for the future, our immunological memory and next-generation immunotherapies. The latter is lead by WCMM's own Filipe Pereira. Three researchers from Lund University in Sweden have been awarded grants by the Knut and Alice

Rain – both its presence and more particularly its absence – controls most things in the Sahel. Despite the fact that the belt of land south of the Sahara has become greener, the outlook is gloomy when it comes to making resources stretch to a growing population in the face of climate change. Now researchers want investments in agriculture, education and family planning to help resources go around

Head of Faculty Office Catrin Malmström reflects on the changes that have taken place at the Faculty office over the past year, and on the ongoing work to build a clearer structure and more coordinated support for the faculty’s activities. With new managers now in place for all functions, and several new roles strengthening both education and research support, the office has taken important steps
Superconductors are a cornerstone of quantum computers and particle detectors, among other things. However, a common problem is that their efficiency is degraded by various interferences. Now, researchers have come one step closer to explaining what is happening through high-precision measurements. The results are now being published in Nature Physics. Superconductivity depends on the presence of

Last year, the Disciplinary Board at Lund University found 64 students guilty. The most common form of cheating is plagiarism. “It is important to report it”, says Maria Bangura director of studies at the School of Social Work. “Departments have a great responsibility to ensure that students have the required skills when they head out and start working with people in difficult situations.

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

It is not every day that the inauguration of a toilet draws a hundred spectators. Such a toilet would have to be pretty special – and this one is. It is special because it is flushed using rain water gathered from the roof of Kemicentrum. LUM was able to follow the rainwater’s journey from parapet to porcelain. An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a

800 people in Sweden are currently on the waiting list to receive donated organs, but there are too few organs. Nearly one person dies each week in Sweden while on the waiting list. How can this lack of donor organs in Sweden be solved?

"Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS. He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on the lookout for integrated, holistic, solutions that can move beyond the siloes

The eminent London universities UCL and Imperial College, as well as the University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris and Chalmers in Sweden, have all concentrated their focus on areas of research excellence and global challenges.
