Generative AI is quickly changing the way we work, learn and create knowledge. To address this development, a new AI policy has been developed to provide employees and students with guiding principles on how to use the technology in a responsible, ethical and transparent manner. What does the policy entail?The policy states that generative AI is to assist, not replace, users’ skills and creativity

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

The UN's annual climate summit, COP28, is just around the corner. Starting on 30 November, the world's countries will meet for two weeks to discuss global climate cooperation and how to achieve the climate goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement. This time the meeting will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We put five questions to Markku Rummukainen, Professor of Climatology at CEC and Sweden's re

Metal joining remains an essential yet challenging process in manufacturing, particularly for components with small dimensions, multiplex, delicate geometries, or dissimilar metals, where conventional joining methods can be insufficient. In a recent study, researchers introduce Gas Actuated Bonding (GAB), a novel method that establishes a new framework for controllable, flexible metal joining. Joi

Today, Lund University celebrates its annual academic ceremony to mark the University’s inauguration in 1668. The University was founded in an era of repeated wars between Sweden and Denmark. Nowadays, we live in peace and freedom with our neighbour. Today, on 4 March 2022, when we celebrate the annual academic ceremony, Lund University will raise the flag for Ukraine. It is a demonstration of sup

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Natural solutions to combat climate change are perceived as beneficial to both nature and people simultaneously. But claims that natural solutions also bring about empowerment, gender equality and inclusion are problematic, especially when issues of power, agency and marginalisation are ignored. This is according to n

Despite groundbreaking research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and reduce costs – with the aim to give more patients access to advanced, potentially curative treatments. In brief:Why promising cell and gene therapies fail to reach implementation

Peptides from the common bacteria Staphylococcus aureus speed up the pathological aggregation of α-synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson’s disease. This was discovered by researchers at MultiPark and published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Staphylococcus aureus is carried by 30–70% of the general population as a commensal bacterium. It produces a special kind of peptides c

Using micro-designed soil models, researchers at Lund University and members of BECC, have investigated how tiny particles of polystyrene affect bacteria and fungi. Although this nanoplastic reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to 'clean up' its environment and mitigate the impact of the plastic. - Plastic waste is a huge problem today. Whether discarded carelessly

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied how nanoplastic affects aquatic organisms in lakes and rivers. The results are surprising, and the researchers are the first to show that some species are being wiped out, while others – such as cyanobacteria that contribute to algal blooms – are completely unaffected. Every year, the amount of plastic in the world’s oceans increases by between
