Read an interview with Kimberly Nicholas, BECC researcher, dealing with food, ecosystems and land-use. Kimberly talks about Paris and COP21, taking personal responsability and social media. After five years in Lund, Kimberly Nicholas has grown roots here. She comes from a family of turkey ranchers and wine-growers in California, and food has been with her for her whole life. Her research at LUCSUS

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and other institutions have worked out how the pigment of the skin manages to protect the body from the sun’s dangerous UV rays. The skin pigment converts the UV radiation into heat through a rapid chemical reaction that shoots protons from the molecules of the pigment. In a new study, the team from Lund University, working with colleagues in France and Ita

Brist på livsmiljöer och klimatförändringen - parametrar som forskare vet påverkar antalet pollinatörer. Men hur mycket påverkar de och vad mer bidrar till att bin och humlor blir en allt ovanligare syn i landskapet? Det har Maria Blasi i Romero försökt ta reda på i sin avhandling som presenteras den 26:e november. Ett säkert vårtecken är de smörgula rapsfält som varje vår breder ut sig som ett tä

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Crashing computers or smartphones - and security loopholes that allow hackers to steal millions of passwords - could be prevented if it were possible to design error-free software. To date, this is a problem that neither engineers nor current supercomputers have been able to solve. A major reason for this is the compu

Parkinson's disease may start in the gut Parkinson's disease is strongly linked to the degeneration of the brain’s movement center. In the last decade, the question of where the disease begins has led researchers to a different part of the human anatomy. In 2003, the German neuropathologist Heiko Braak presented a theory suggesting that the disease begins in the gut and spreads to the brain. The i

Let me clarify that we are not referring to blood plasma, as that pertains to the field of biology. Instead, we are discussing the fourth state of matter, which can be envisioned as a mixture of electrons, atoms, and excited species. To put it simply, it can be described as an ionized gas or a "soup" of charged particles. Our research group focuses on exploring the applications of plasmas in diffe

Personer med diabetes drabbas oftare av komplikationer i sina händer än övrig befolkning. I sin avhandling som läggs fram vid Lunds universitet har Mattias Rydberg kartlagt diabeteshanden. – Det finns stor anledning både för dem som har diabetes och för vårdpersonal som möter dessa patienter att vara uppmärksamma på handfunktionen. Det är först när handfunktionen krånglar som vi inser hur mycket v

What obstacles stand in the way of user-centred working, and what is needed to succeed? Many organisations want to adopt a user-centred approach, but a new doctoral thesis shows that success is elusive when conflicting demands and a lack of organisational support throw a spanner in the works. Today, there is considerable pressure on organisations to work in a user-centred way. There is talk of use

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. En ny studie ska undersöka om enbart lätt överviktiga typ 2 diabetiker blir av med sjukdomen om de opereras på samma sätt som hittills enbart mycket feta kunnat göra. Främsta syftet med operationen är inte att bli av med övervikt utan att undersöka om metoden kan bota diabetes. Övervikt delas in i olika grupper bero
