They mainly take the form of email attacks, known as phishing, which aim to penetrate and take over entire IT environments. The attacks often succeed. Lund University is no different from the crowd. Cyberattacks against higher education institutions and other public authorities, as well as against companies, have s

A lack of professional project management, unclear decision-making processes and shortcomings in communication underpin delays in the beamline programme at MAX IV.

New research from Lund University found several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases. The findings can have major consequences for future research. Faults in the data might already have influenced decisions made by politicians regarding economic policy, according to Jonas Ljungberg, Professor emeritus of Economic History.

The strong connection between financial problems and mental health issues is well known. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that only one in five young adults could correctly answer three basic questions about inflation, interest rates and risk diversification. At the same time, they are getting more into debt. This, the researchers argue, is a worrying development. We now know that

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Despite creative efforts to tackle it, belief in conspiracy theories, alternative facts and fake news show no sign of abating. This is clearly a huge problem, as seen when it comes to climate change, vaccines and expertise in general – with anti-scientific attitudes increasingly influencing politics. So why can’t we s

The EU’s approval process for a novel perennial, eco-friendly grain with the potential to fundamentally change Europe’s agriculture has dragged on for more than six years. This delay, according to researchers at Lund University, is due to an outdated regulatory system. Kernza, a perennial grain with several metre long roots, is good for the climate and the environment. The grain, which is most clo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a new study from Lund University and the University of Gothenburg, patients were interviewed about their experiences ten years after undergoing obesity surgery.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In 2010, GAP introduced a new logo, sparking an online backlash and ultimately resulting in the reintroduction of the old logo.

For e-commerce companies, it is cheaper to throw away returned items rather than selling them again. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden interviewed members of the textile and electronics industries in Europe, hoping to better understand a problem that is snowballing, yet has been the subject of little research. Internet shopping is increasingly commonplace, and with it comes

This knowledge may be of great significance in
