Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle

The dissertation is called: Statistical Aspects of Group Dynamics – Multilevel Methods for Emergent Processes in Teams. She explains that the thesis develops new statistical methods to help researchers better capture how teams evolve. “They are not static entities: trust can build or erode, members can leave or join, and events can strengthen or disrupt collaboration. Understanding these dynamics

Can you tell me a little about your research area?I research diseases and conditions of the hip joint that affect children but can also cause pain and osteoarthritis in adulthood. One example is hip dysplasia, where the acetabulum does not sufficiently cover the femoral head. Hip dysplasia occurs in 0.5-1% of newborns in Sweden and is almost always detected at the maternity ward. When diagnosed ea

Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även

With the help of satellite images and interviews, researchers in Lund can present new information about how the drought that hit Syria between 2007 and 2009 affected migration patterns. Their study shows that farmers left their land only when war broke out in 2011, an idea which is at odds with the accepted view of drought as the starting point for migration. When the war in Syria broke out in 201
