Production for the textile and fashion industry can, for many countries, represent a first step out of poverty. But what does this mean for those who work in the sector, and what happens when even poorer countries begin to compete by paying even lower wages for the seamstresses in the factories? Linn Ternsjö has studied the clothing manufacturing industry in Mauritius from a sustainability perspec

Just over ten years after Goran Basic came to Sweden as a refugee from the former Yugoslavia, he travelled back to his ethnically cleansed village. As a researcher in sociology, he wanted to try and carry out a non-judgemental study and interview survivors about forgiveness, reconciliation and the role of victim. One thesis and ten years later, he has now published his research articles. “Previous

Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed user interfaces for remote control of ships, as well as positioning using water dept

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have utilised nanotechnology to create a biological computer that can solve certain mathematical problems far faster and more energy-efficiently than conventional electrical computers. The research results have now been published in the prestigious publication Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Conventional computers have contributed to

Diabetes är den vanligaste orsaken till amputationer i västvärlden. Nu visar en internationell forskargrupp att blodfettssänkande läkemedel av typen fenofibrater minskar amputationsrisken med 36 procent. Orsakerna till att diabetespatienter kan tvingas amputera en del av en fot eller ett ben är flera. Dålig blodcirkulation, nedsatt känsel i fötterna och diabetiska förändringar av fotens anatomi är

Frågan om den akuta sockerbristen vid djupa insulinkänningar skadar hjärnan har undersökts många gånger men resultaten har varit motstridiga. Nu visar en studie på tonåringar med typ 1 diabetes att inte ens upprepade blodsockerfall med medvetslöshet eller kramper som följd på sikt påverkar hjärnan negativt. Hjärnan kan bara utnyttja socker som bränsle. Blir halten av socker för låg påverkar det om

Att anställa en barnflicka eller au pair gör föräldrarna mer jämställda, men medför nya former av ojämlikhet inom och mellan familjer. Samtidigt tvingas barnen gå igenom svåra separationer till följd av branschens kortvariga anställningar, visar en studie från sociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet.

The most important mineral in today's electric car batteries is lithium. China completely dominates the market, with no extraction taking place in Europe. However, a new study shows that there is great potential for European lithium production, which would bring improvements in competitiveness, the climate and security. The study also points out that there are complex international trade dependenc

Per Nordén is not really new to the job of chief security officer. He started working at Lund University’s security division seventeen years ago, staying until 2007, when he took a break. During his twelve-year absence, he worked in the municipality of Kävlinge and most recently at Tetra Pak. The reason for his return is that he very much enjoyed working at Lund University.

Han Somsen has newly been appointed professor in environmental law at the Faculty of Law. He is best known for his recommendation that bird-killing cats should be kept indoors. “Humans see themselves as the kings of the hill, which extends to their cats. If you question this, many people get very angry. I got death threats,” says Han Somsen. Han Somsen’s latest position was as professor at Tilburg

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made new strides in understanding why some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia respond better to treatment than others. Their study, recently published in eLife, suggests that the amount of healthy blood stem cells at diagnosis could be a key factor in predicting how well patients will respond to standard therapies.

Fifty per cent of all pregnant women in need of a C-section are unable to get one. Most people around the world still do not have access to safe surgery, resulting in millions of deaths and disabilities each year. As a paediatric surgeon, Lars Hagander wanted to find ways to help, and has travelled the world to perform surgery. But, of course, this is not enough. A major change is needed. “Even if

Insekters DNA går att fånga in och upptäcka via luften. Det visar forskning från Lunds universitet. Tekniken, som är ny på insektsområdet, kan få stor betydelse för att kartlägga biologisk mångfald framöver och väntas komplettera den traditionella metoden, att samla in insekter med fällor.

The expression “Sweden’s green gold” has a new meaning. Forests are now not only to provide timber and paper – but also save the climate. Chemical engineering researcher Christian Hulteberg has managed to transform a residual product from pulp manufacturing into a liquid that is chemically identical to petrol. The plan is to have Swedish forest fuel available at service stations by 2021. “This is
