To distinguish between education and research as early as the allocation stage of basic government funding does not benefit their intertwining. Nor is it helpful that only research counts if you want to have a good career. “Good teaching initiatives are to be rewarded and teaching should be well-regarded” according to the new pro vice-chancellors Ann-Kristin Wallengren and Per Mickwitz.

How do you get a robot to behave in an ethical and moral way? Christian Balkenius is giving this a lot of thought, as it is the topic of his research project. However, he is also thinking about ethics among robot researchers. “It’s often said that we have advanced further than we actually have done. The aim of the research is not fulfilled if we are not honest.” Robots pique the imagination and

The relocation of the specialised centres to the faculties which is currently underway within LU has generated concern and discussion. “But once you know where you are moving, a calmer and more constructive phase begins”, says Bo Ahrén, chair of the University’s specialised centres. But Merle Jacob, professor of research policy, finds the path to the right faculty to be rather long and uncertain a

Our health in later life is shaped not only by the way we live, what our childhood was like or our time in our mothers’ wombs.

Many people with cystic fibrosis develop diabetes. The reasons for this have been largely unknown, but now researchers at Lund University in Sweden and Karolinska institutet have identified a molecular mechanism that contributes to the raised diabetes risk. “The increased risk of diabetes has previously been explained by the fact that cystic fibrosis causes damage to the pancreas, where the blood-

There has been no known link between diabetes and vitamin A – until now. A new study suggests that the vitamin improves the insulin producing β-cell´s function. The researchers initially discovered that insulin-producing beta-cells contain a large quantity of a cell surface receptor for vitamin A.“There are no unnecessary surface receptors in human cells. They all serve a purpose but which, in man

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person to another. This can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group at Lund University in Sweden has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a

Biologisk bekämpning kan användas för att minska mängden farliga kemikalier i jordbruket. Skadedjurs naturliga fiender och predatorer används istället för traditionella bekämpningsmedel för att få bukt med skadedjuren i odlingarna. Men ny forskning vid Lunds universitet visar att förändringar i jordbruket och landskapets utformning kan ha oväntade konsekvenser för skadedjuren och deras naturliga f
Högst personligt: När jag ser tillbaka på mitt arbetsliv och i den arbetsmiljö jag befunnit mig i så kan jag konstatera att attityden till arbete har förändrats under åren, framför allt kopplat till hur man skiljer mellan arbetsliv och privatliv.
