Vårt DNA är mycket likt schimpansens, som evolutionärt är vår närmaste levande släkting. Nu har stamcellsforskare i Lund hittat en tidigare förbisedd del i vårt DNA, så kallat icke-kodat DNA, som tycks bidra till en skillnad som trots alla våra likheter kan förklara varför våra hjärnor fungerar olika. Studien publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Cell Stem Cell. Schimpansen är vår närmaste le

Traditionell och stark smärtlindring med läkemedel ger ofta stora biverkningar och kan påverka förmågan att fungera i vardagen för den drabbade. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet vidareutvecklat en helt ny stimuleringsmetod mot svår smärta som ger individanpassad smärtlindring, utan de sedvanliga biverkningarna och en i det närmaste total blockad av smärta utan att annan känsel och motorik påv

Tell us, why Tunisia? As a PhD student in political science with a focus on comparative politics in the Middle East, I investigate feminist activism and gender politics in the Middle East and North Africa, with a particular focus on Tunisia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. What interests me is largely that feminism is usually seen as a European or Western "product" that is exported to the rest of the worl

Daniel Gustafsson has successfully defended his thesis entitled 'The Present People'. Congratulations! Abstract In modern political thought, one of the most recalcitrant, and increasingly pressing, questions of modern democracy is whether, and in what sense, the people can be present. While the presence of the people has, and continues to be, the sine qua non of the democratic form of government,

Scholars acknowledge the existence of intra-party divisions and the potentially negative electoral effects of disunity. Some assume that intra-party divides are between professional politicians and grassroots members, others highlight the importance of ideological blocs. Yet, precisely mapping factional structures, especially ideological factions, is difficult because of the “black box of intra- p
